WordPress

Kelp is a proud Automattic Agency partner. This means we are experts within the WordPress ecosystem including Jetpack, Pressable, and WooCommerce. In fact, this very website is a headless WordPress instance.

We love building custom WordPress themes and plugins with a clear purpose. WordPress can be an incredibly powerful platform — as long as you respect its ecosystem and use it the way it was designed. We’ve embraced the Gutenberg editor and gone all-in on block-based themes. Automattic recognized our work with The Innovator Award in 2023.

We believe that your website's underlying technology can either hold you back, or give you momentum to hit new records. Our preferred method to build custom WordPress themes is with Timber as it provides a powerful templating engine with a clean syntax. However, we don't mind working in existing themes built with good ol' vanilla PHP. Headless WordPress sounds scary, but it can also be quite nice.
