Denver-Based WordPress Experts

WordPress website experts. Built for the work you actually do.

Security management, updates, backups, and incident response — handled for you.

I’ve been you.

Our team spent years working inside client organizations and in-house technical teams before building Carrier Signal. We know what it’s like to inherit a broken site at 9pm, discover a plugin that quietly stopped working, or need to move fast on a limited budget with no internal dev support.

We work at every level of the stack — planning, migration, custom development, and ongoing maintenance. We meet you where you are, and we don’t pad estimates with overhead you don’t need.

Twenty years of technical expertise. Nonprofits, news organizations, and mission-driven institutions. Most projects under $10k.

Site Builds & Design

Custom WordPress builds using Avada/Fusion Builder — CSS overrides, Swiper.js sliders, custom shortcodes, and component-level control most builders don’t offer. We build what your site actually needs, not a template that sort of fits.

Managed WordPress Hosting

Pantheon hosting with expert configuration, or SiteGround reseller plans — matched to your site’s actual needs. Not oversold shared hosting, not enterprise overhead you don’t need. Performance tuning and uptime monitoring included.

WordPress Security & Maintenance

Core and plugin updates, daily backups, malware monitoring, and incident response. When something breaks at 11pm before a board meeting, we respond — not a ticket queue. Managed maintenance plans available.

Custom WordPress Plugin Development

When off-the-shelf plugins cost $X/year per site and don’t quite do what you need, we build it. No recurring fees, no bloat, no features you’ll never use. Find recent examples that have been repurposed and made available for anyone to use.

WooCommerce & Integrations

WooCommerce setup, custom product logic, plugin integrations, and third-party API connections — including deeper integrations than most WP shops tackle. Commerce7 wine club software, LearnDash LMS, AMS platforms, and more.

Strategy & Technical Consultation

Not sure if you need a migration, a rebuild, or just a better maintenance process? We’ll tell you honestly — without upselling you a $40k engagement. Site audit, technology stack review, and roadmap planning. We empower you to expand on our work with tailored screencasts and training.

Source CMSes supported for migration

Migration Platform

Migration tools move content. Ours reasons about it.

You need to migrate your site — not just copy it. Our AI-assisted pipeline exports, analyzes, cleans, and restructures your content before it ever touches the new platform.

Legacy sites are usually full of outdated builder markup, broken navigation logic, redundant content, and tangled integrations. Standard migration tools move all of that to your new site and call it done. You don’t have to do it that way. Our pipeline analyzes what you have, flags what should go, and suggests a new structure before anything moves — so you arrive at a better site, not just a newer one.

  • STEP ONE

REVIEW

WP XML export, CMS API, or headless crawl via Firecrawl for sites without clean exports. WordPress, Drupal, Squarespace, Wix — covers 80% of actual client sites.

  • STEP TWO

CLEAN

Strip builder markup, legacy shortcodes, inline styles, and nested wrappers. Outputs clean structured markdown — the normalized format every target adapter consumes.

  • STEP THREE

ANALYZE

LLM pass categorizes content types, flags orphaned pages, redundant content, broken nav logic, and low-value legacy material — with reasoning attached to every flag.

  • STEP FOUR

RESTRUCTURE

Suggested navigation architecture and user journeys based on your actual content — plus your stated workflow pain points and organizational goals. Human-approved before anything moves.

  • STEP FIVE

PUBLISH

Output to traditional WordPress, Newspack, flat HTML, or headless WP/Next.js. Adapters are pluggable. The pipeline is the same; the target is yours to choose.

Who we work with

Organizations that need real expertise, not agency overhead.

Our clients have legacy sites, mission-driven constraints, and technical needs that most agencies either overbill or underdeliver. Under-$10k engagements are our home ground.

Nonprofits

Mission-driven orgs with legacy tech debt, constrained budgets, and no in-house dev — who need a real technical partner, not a vendor

News Organizations

Local news, public media, and editorial orgs migrating to Newspack or modern WordPress — with real deadline and workflow requirements

Arts & Culture

Galleries, cultural institutions, and artist organizations needing portfolio-quality web presence at nonprofit-friendly budgets

Small Institutions

Schools, foundations, associations, and small businesses that need durable, low-maintenance sites — without enterprise pricing

Not sure where to start? That’s what the call is for.

Thirty minutes. No sales deck. We’ll look at your current site, tell you honestly what we’d do, and tell you what it would cost.
