Custom WordPress development for Malta organisations

We build custom WordPress sites for Maltese media, organisations and companies with a lot to publish. We're a design studio from Bosnia & Herzegovina, in the same time zone as Malta.

Publishing in English and Maltese

Many Maltese sites publish in both English and Maltese, and editors need to manage both without things getting out of sync. We set up the structure so that's easy.

We've built WordPress sites for news outlets and foundations, so we know how much the editor experience matters for a site that publishes daily.

What's included

  • Content architecture & custom post type structure
  • Full Figma design (desktop + mobile)
  • Custom WordPress theme (no page builders)
  • ACF / custom field structure for editorial control
  • WooCommerce integration where needed
  • Multilingual support (WPML / Polylang) where needed
  • SEO, performance & security hardening
  • Editorial training & admin documentation

How we work

  1. 01

    Content & Editorial Audit

    We map your content types, publishing frequency, author structure, and reader journeys. The admin experience is part of the design spec from the start — a CMS your editors find frustrating won't be maintained.

  2. 02

    Architecture & Custom Post Types

    Custom post types, taxonomies, and field structures designed around your content model. We use ACF to give editors the right controls without exposing complexity they don't need and didn't ask for.

  3. 03

    Design in Figma

    A full Figma design for every key template: home, section index, article, search, and key landing pages. Editorial typography and content hierarchy are central to the design — not cosmetic decisions made at the end.

  4. 04

    Custom Theme Build

    A lightweight, custom PHP theme — no multipurpose template, no page builder, no unnecessary plugins. Performance, security hardening, and semantic HTML structure are built in from the very first commit.

  5. 05

    Training & Launch

    An editorial training session, an admin guide tailored to your specific workflow, and a go-live checklist covering redirects, performance validation, and search-engine indexing. Post-launch support is included for the first month.

What a typical project costs

Take a custom wordpress site: content audit, custom post types, design in Figma, a custom theme without page builders and editor training. That's usually around 120 hours of work. Here's roughly what it costs with an agency in Malta and with us.

Typical Malta agency

€10,200

120 h × €85/h (estimate)

frame387, from Bosnia & Herzegovina

€6,000

120 h × €50/h

That's about €4,200 less, or 41% of the budget, for the same work done by senior designers.

We couldn't find solid public data on agency rates in Malta, so the local figure is our estimate. This is an example, not a quote. Every project is priced separately after a short call.

Frequently asked

Can the site be bilingual?

Yes, with WPML or Polylang. Editors manage both languages from one admin.

Can you make our news site faster?

Usually, yes. Moving from a heavy theme to a custom one and cleaning up plugins often makes a big difference.

WordPress or Webflow — how do you decide?

WordPress wins for content-heavy sites, complex publishing workflows, multilingual needs, WooCommerce stores, or when you rely on specific plugins. Webflow wins for marketing sites where speed to launch and visual editing matter most. We recommend honestly based on your project — not our preference.

Do you build custom themes or use templates?

Custom. We design in Figma and build a tailored theme so the site fits your brand exactly and loads fast — without the performance overhead and generic aesthetics of multipurpose marketplace templates.
