Rivac LabsCMS Developer
WordPress and Drupal sites break down when themes, plugins, and content structures get built ad hoc instead of as real code — updates become terrifying, and every new content type requires a workaround. We do code-first WordPress and Drupal development: themes, plugins and modules, and content architecture designed properly from the start, version-controlled like the rest of your codebase. This is for organizations whose CMS site has become fragile through years of point-and-click configuration, or who're building a new site and want it maintainable from day one. You get a CMS build your team can actually update without holding its breath.
How We’d Approach This
A clear, staged plan — not a black box
- 1
Audit the existing theme, plugin/module set, and content architecture for fragility and technical debt.
- 2
Build the core content types and theme structure as version-controlled code, piloted on one section of the site.
- 3
Review the pilot section with your content team to confirm the editing experience actually works for them.
- 4
Complete the remaining site build with a deployment process that keeps future updates safe.
