Our company is looking to completely overhaul our business website. Our current site is built on a heavy pre-made WordPress theme that takes forever to load on mobile and converts poorly. We want a custom, clean build that actually looks modern and loads fast, but every agency we talk to seems to just resell tweaked templates. What’s the best way to vet agencies for a genuine custom build?

When evaluating agencies for a custom web project, always review their live portfolio for performance metrics, clean code structure, and mobile responsiveness. Avoid firms that rely heavily on off-the-shelf themes with excessive plugin dependencies, as these slow down site speed and complicate future scalability.

We dealt with that exact template bloat nightmare for years before finally deciding to invest in a proper ground-up build. The key is finding an agency that handles both UX/UI design and custom frontend development in-house rather than just tweaking a theme. We had an excellent experience with an https://www.shtudio.com.au/services/web-design/ australia web design company for our complete site redesign. They built a lightweight, mobile-first website from scratch, optimized our Core Web Vitals, and our bounce rate dropped significantly within weeks of launch.
