Contrary to popular belief, theme installation is a dynamic process that requires a lot of attention. A mistake you make during the installation phase or a point you skip may cause your site to stop working in the future. In addition, the installation process is not just the process of loading theme files into the system, in addition, there are many processes that need to be done in your system afterwards. Most of these are related to performance and security, and also include Search Engine Optimization (SEO) processes that are vital for your site.

Video screen recordings will be made as a guide for the configuration of the home page, the configuration of product, service, etc. detail pages and other setting points specific to your theme and will be sent to you.

Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress Theme Installation
I have listed the frequently asked questions about my services below. If you can’t find the answer to your question or if there’s another topic you’d like to discuss, feel free to reach out to me using the Contact form.
What is the difference between WordPress Installation and a Custom WordPress Theme?
The Custom Design WordPress Theme service is a fully tailored theme with features designed specifically for you. In the WordPress Installation service, I install a pre-made theme you choose.
How long does WordPress theme installation take?
Under normal conditions, the installation process is completed within 3 business days, though this time may be extended depending on any customizations you request.
Do you make changes to themes?
Yes, depending on the specific points you mention in your request. Any customizations will incur additional fees, and I will provide you with details about the extra costs and time.
Is multi-language installation included?
The price and time mentioned include the installation of one theme in one language of your choice. Additional language options are charged separately.
Do you install warez themes?
I install themes purchased from well-known theme marketplaces like Themeforest.net, but I do not install or recommend the use of illegal themes (e.g., warez, cracked, or pirated themes).
Do you enter content during the installation?
Yes, I enter your “About Us” page and up to 10 pages of service or other information. I also prepare tutorial videos to guide you in entering content yourself. If you have more than the specified amount and want me to enter it, I can do so for an additional fee and time.
Custom WordPress Theme
By nature, WordPress offers a wide variety of pre-made themes. While these themes have advantages in terms of ease of use and budget, they also come with many disadvantages.
Why Should You Use a Custom WordPress Theme?
The most important factors here are, of course, your budget and what you expect from the project. Originality and performance are among the key elements that determine the success of a project.
Original Design
The most critical factor in making your brand and project stand out from your competitors is originality. Nowadays, many projects use pre-made WordPress themes, resulting in a repetitive and copied appearance. This lack of uniqueness can harm your brand’s image.
Poor Performance of Pre-Made Themes
Pre-made WordPress themes come with numerous libraries, additional plugins, and different combinations, which means you’re carrying many unused files on your site. This negatively affects your site’s performance.
How Do We Approach Custom WordPress Theme Development?
The process of developing a custom WordPress theme involves several stages, which can be divided into design and coding.
Custom WordPress Theme Design Process
At this stage, I gather preliminary information about your project’s workflow and expectations.
After that, I ask for websites you like, your logo, and your brand colors.
With this information, my interface designer and I prepare a homepage design, a category page design for your services/products, and a detailed service/product page design.
We share these designs with you and gather any change or revision requests you may have. After making the necessary adjustments, we send the final version for your approval before moving on to the coding stage.
Custom WordPress Theme Coding Process
I start coding on a sample domain.
Once the work becomes visible, I share it with you in a closed environment.
For your project, I develop a custom Admin Panel, allowing you to update almost every aspect of your site yourself.
Just like with pre-made WordPress and WooCommerce theme installation services, I also prepare tutorial videos to explain how to perform these updates.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom WordPress Theme Creation
I have listed the frequently asked questions about my services below. If you have a question or topic that you cannot find the answer to, you can contact me using the Contact form.
How long does this process take?
The time frame depends entirely on your project expectations. It wouldn’t be accurate to provide an exact duration, but based on my previous experience, I typically deliver projects, including both design and coding, within an average of 14 days.
Do you make changes to the theme?
After learning about the changes you want, I’ll let you know if any extra work is required. Some adjustments can be made within the theme’s existing settings or can be fixed quickly. For such cases, I don’t charge extra fees or require additional time. However, if some of your requests involve time-consuming tasks, I’ll inform you about the time and cost, and proceed with the work upon your approval.
Is multi-language support included?
Unlike WordPress and WooCommerce theme installations, the Custom WordPress Theme service is built in the language of your choice. For example, if you want your site to be published in Turkish, I’ll handle the entire process and coding in Turkish. For additional languages, you’ll need to purchase a language plugin like WPML or Polylang. After your purchase, I’ll integrate it for free.
Do you install warez themes?
I install themes purchased from well-known theme marketplaces like Themeforest.net, but I do not install or recommend using illegal themes (e.g., warez, cracked, or pirated themes). If your theme was obtained illegally as described, I will refund your fee, minus the commission.
Do you enter product/information data?
In the Custom WordPress Theme service, I enter your products or services based on the number of items you have. If you have more than 100 pages or products, I will charge extra for the data entry.
WordPress Plugins
I can develop custom WordPress plugins tailored to your project and needs. To see the plugins I’ve created and to learn more, feel free to check out my WordPress Plugins page.
