Services: What Our WordPress Team Does
From a single plugin to a district wide network, these are the missions we take on most.
Custom WordPress Development
We build WordPress the way we wrote about it: as an application framework. Our leadership co-wrote "Building Web Apps with WordPress" for O'Reilly, and we use WordPress and open source to deliver everything from small business websites to complex enterprise web applications.
Custom iOS and Android App Development
AlphaWeb is the company behind AppPresser, the app builder that specializes in WordPress. Our team builds custom iOS and Android apps that pull in your WordPress content, members, store and events, managed from the same dashboard you use today. When an enterprise case calls for it, we build native.
AI Implementation Consulting
We plan, build and secure real AI for your organization. We connect the top AI platforms to your WordPress sites, web apps and mobile apps, and we automate the work that slows your team down with AI agents like Grok Bot and Claude Cowork.
WordPress Support and Maintenance
Is your website slow? Have you been hacked? Do you need new features or training? Are you scared to break something? We got your back. Buy a block of support hours and our team handles audits, updates, security, speed, new features and monitoring. No task is too big or too small.
Platform Migrations to WordPress
Stuck on a proprietary or aging platform? We move your content into WordPress using scripts that preserve your page structure and URLs, so you keep your search rankings and lose the vendor lock-in.
