Serving Boise, Idaho

Custom WordPress Websites in Boise, Idaho.

A custom-coded WordPress site for your Boise business, built by a local developer you can actually reach. Same time zone, same valley, no offshore handoffs.

Ada County

The county this city sits in, and one I take work in regularly. Local searches here behave differently than they do statewide.

20 minutes

That is the drive from my desk in Kuna, though the build runs fully remote. Being close by matters less than knowing the market.

Local SEO

Built to rank for the phrases people in this city actually type. That means the map pack and the service searches, not vanity terms.

5.0 Rated

Verified Google reviews from Idaho business owners I have built for. You can read every one of them before you call.

Custom Web Design for Boise Businesses

Beyond The Boise Agencies

Boise is Idaho’s capital and its largest city, and the web design market here reflects that. Downtown firms near the Capitol will quote five figures for a brochure site, hand the actual work to a junior designer, and go quiet after launch. I work differently. I am a solo developer based in Kuna, about 20 minutes from downtown Boise, writing HTML, CSS, PHP, and JavaScript since 1995, long before WordPress existed. I take on a small number of Boise clients at a time, build every site myself, and keep rates well below agency pricing because I carry no office lease and no overhead. That’s 31+ years of hands-on coding, 10 five-star client reviews, and a practice serving 12 major Idaho cities, the rest of the state, and clients nationwide.

From The Bench To Micron

Boise’s economy is unusually diversified for its size, and that shows up in the businesses I build for. The city anchors a healthcare hub around St. Luke’s and Saint Alphonsus, a technology base led by Micron and a growing roster of software firms, state government as the capital, and long-standing food and agriculture names like Simplot and Albertsons. Around those anchors sits the real client base for a site like this: the clinics, law and accounting practices, contractors, boutiques, restaurants, and service startups that make up most of the local economy. Whether you are on the Bench, in the North End, along the State Street or Vista corridors, in BoDo or the Linen District, or out in Southeast Boise near the Micron campus, you get the same custom-coded build.

Fast, Findable, Yours

Every site I deliver is fast, mobile-first, and structured for search from the first line of code, not bolted on afterward. If you are opening an online store, I build it on WooCommerce rather than a locked-in hosted cart. If ranking in a competitive Boise market matters, the technical SEO is handled during the build. You own the finished site and its code outright at launch, and you deal directly with the developer who wrote it, in the same time zone, the whole way through.

Local Work, Not Just A Local Address

The clients I point to are actual builds, not a claim to serve the Boise community. Wüfyre Coffee Roasters, a Boise coffee roaster, came off Squarespace and onto a WordPress site I custom-coded, with a full WCAG accessibility remediation done at no charge. Rockmolds, also based in Boise, runs a custom-coded WooCommerce store I built from scratch: a sectioned shop for 143 products, a custom AJAX cart, and three custom plugins, no page builder anywhere in it. Elsewhere in the valley I have built for AMH Goods in Meridian (a 450-product soccer jersey store with faceted filtering across roughly 2,500 items) and Valor Classical Academy, a new K-12 charter school opening in Kuna. See the Rockmolds and Wüfyre case studies, or browse the rest in the portfolio.

Before You Hire Anyone In Boise

I have written the guides I would want to read if I were the one doing the hiring. Start with hiring a WordPress developer in Boise, which covers what this market actually charges and the six questions worth asking any candidate, me included. For a Boise-specific breakdown, what a website actually costs in Boise walks through real numbers by project type. What each pricing tier actually delivers shows where the money goes, and why Treasure Valley agencies cost two to three times more than a solo developer explains the gap plainly, including the cases where an agency is genuinely the better call. If you’re opening an online store, Boise WooCommerce and online store development covers what that specifically looks like and costs. If you are trying to get found rather than rebuilt, local SEO for Boise businesses covers the map pack and what it realistically takes to move in it.

Boise FAQ

Boise Questions, Answered.

How are you cheaper than Boise agencies?
Three reasons: I am a solo operator with no employees or office lease, I do not use page builders that triple development time, and my business is set up to serve clients rather than investors. The site that costs $20K at an agency starts at $3,500 with me for design and development together, or $2,000 for development alone.
Will my site actually rank in competitive Boise markets?
I lead with the technical fundamentals most agencies skip: page speed, schema, internal linking, and mobile UX. Then I layer on local optimization through your Google Business Profile, citations, and local content. Many local clients see strong local-pack movement within a few months.
Do you charge Boise clients more?
No. Pricing is the same wherever you are, and the Price-Beat Guarantee still applies: bring me any legitimate Boise or US quote and I beat it by 10%.
Do you only build for businesses in Boise, or the wider Treasure Valley too?
Both. I'm based in Kuna and build for businesses across Ada and Canyon counties: Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Kuna, and Star. Wherever you are in the valley, you get the same build, the same price, and the same person doing the work.
Can I see examples of sites you've built for other Boise-area businesses?
Yes. Rockmolds and Wufyre Coffee Roasters are both Boise businesses I built custom WordPress sites for. The full portfolio has more, including AMH Goods, Pub & Putt, and Valor Classical Academy elsewhere in the valley.
Can you show me a custom WordPress plugin or theme you've built?
Yes, happy to on a call. If a developer bidding on your project can't show you one, they're likely a page-builder operator rather than someone writing custom code, and that's worth knowing before you sign anything.
Do you build custom WordPress sites, or do you use a page builder like Elementor?
Custom-coded by default, and that is the real dividing line between a WordPress developer and a page-builder operator. No Avada, Divi, or Astra. Where a client's existing stack or catalog scale genuinely calls for a builder, I will tell you that rather than pretend otherwise, and the engineering underneath still gets done properly.
Who owns the code, domain, and hosting account when the project is done?
You do, outright, at launch. Some agencies keep clients tied to their own hosting or a proprietary builder. I hand over the code, the domain, and the analytics access, and you can take all of it anywhere.
What's your Core Web Vitals target?
Green across the board on launch. Custom-coded sites load in under 1.5 seconds and typically score 95-100 on mobile Lighthouse, compared to 40-60 for most page-builder sites.
How do you handle schema markup and on-page SEO?
They're part of the build, not bolted on afterward. Every site ships with structured data and the technical SEO fundamentals in place from day one.
Are you a solo developer, or do you work with a team?
Solo. You talk to the person who wrote the code, not an account manager relaying messages to a developer you never meet, before the project, during it, and after.
