Tampa Forge

Serving Tampa, St. Pete & Clearwater

A WordPress developer for Tampa Bay who does more than install themes.

Plenty of "WordPress developers" mean a page-builder template and a support ticket queue. We write actual code — custom functionality, plugin conflicts sorted out, real performance tuning, and security hardening that goes past a checklist. Local crew, real fixes, fixed-price quotes.

Why Tampa Bay businesses call us

WordPress work that's actually engineering

WordPress runs a huge share of the web because it's flexible — but that flexibility is also how sites end up slow, insecure, and tangled with conflicting plugins. We fix the underlying code, not just the symptom.

Custom Code

Custom functionality

Custom post types, ACF field logic, bespoke shortcodes, booking or membership behavior — real PHP written for what your business needs, not stacked plugins hoping to approximate it.

Conflicts

Plugin conflict resolution

White screens after an update, JavaScript errors from two plugins fighting over the same hook — we trace the actual conflict instead of deactivating things until it works.

Performance

Performance tuning

Query optimization, caching configuration, image and asset delivery, and trimming plugin bloat that's dragging down your load times and Core Web Vitals.

Security

Security hardening

Locking down wp-admin, patching outdated plugins, tightening file permissions, and removing the common entry points attackers scan for on every WordPress site.

What's included

A WordPress engagement, broken down

Code review We look at your theme and active plugins before touching anything, so we understand what's actually running your site.

Custom development Purpose-built functionality written to WordPress coding standards, not a fragile stack of general-purpose plugins.

Performance & security pass Concrete, measured improvements to load time and a hardened configuration, not vague "optimization."

Ongoing support Optional monthly care for updates, backups, and a real person to call when something breaks — available across Tampa, St. Pete, and Clearwater.
