WordPress · since 2009
WordPress that scales like Drupal,
edits like WordPress.
For clients whose teams want the WordPress editor without giving up the scale, governance, and accessibility we expect from Drupal builds. We bring our enterprise patterns (content modeling, editor-first design, performance budgets, A11Y by default) to WordPress, on Pantheon, WPEngine or WP VIP.
What’s included
Six things you get with every engagement.
01 · DISCOVERY
Discovery that pays back tenfold.
Four to six weeks of stakeholder interviews, content audits, governance mapping, and competitive teardowns before a single pixel moves. The work that makes everything else go fast.
02 · IA & DESIGN
IA & design that hold.
Information architecture, content modeling, and a complete design system you can keep using.
03 · BUILD
Build by senior humans.
No offshore handoffs. The team that pitched you is the team writing the code.
04 · A11Y
WCAG 2.2 baked in.
Accessibility is a constraint we design from. Not a phase we tack on at the end.
05 · MIGRATION
Content migration with zero downtime. We’ve done thousands of pages, with redirects and SEO inheritance baked in.
06 · TRAINING
Editor training baked in too.

What clients say in writing
KWALL did an excellent job and had an intuitive knowledge of our project that built on attributes of similar websites that we admired. KWALL’s work was quick and thorough, and everyone at KWALL was easy to work with and friendly.
FAQ
Questions worth asking.
Why build a WordPress site with KWALL versus a traditional WordPress agency?
We bring enterprise patterns, content modeling, accessibility by default, performance budgets, editor-first governance, that most WordPress shops don’t practice. We’ve shipped hundreds of WordPress builds for higher-ed and government clients who needed WordPress’s editorial simplicity without sacrificing the rigor they’d expect from a enterprise level project.
Do you work with existing WordPress sites, or only new builds?
Both. We redesign, re-platform, and extend existing WordPress sites regularly. If you’re moving from a different CMS to WordPress, or from a page-builder theme to a proper block theme, we handle that migration including content carry-over.
What hosting platforms do you recommend and support?
Pantheon is our primary recommendation for most clients, we’re a Platinum Partner and run the majority of our WordPress sites there. For clients with specific enterprise requirements, we also support WP VIP. We don’t build on shared hosting or unmanaged servers.
Do you use Kadence, a page builder, or custom blocks?
We build on Kadence for most projects, extending it with custom ACF blocks and native Gutenberg patterns for institution-specific content types. We avoid page builders like Elementor or Divi; they create long-term maintenance problems. Everything we build is designed to stay editable by your content team without developer involvement.
How do you handle accessibility on WordPress builds?
Accessibility is built into our process from design through QA, not added at the end. We test against WCAG 2.2 AA using both automated tools and manual review. Our block templates are built to output semantic, accessible markup, so editors don’t have to think about it when they add content.
On the work beneath the work
Our work with KWALL isn’t just a CMS change. It’s been a capability change: components, accessible markup, and authoring that delivers quality by default.
Made it to the bottom? You’re our kind of person.
Two ways from here. Skim the work and see if we’d be a fit, or send a quick note through the form. The founder reads them.
p.s. we will respond. by Tuesday at the latest.
