let's work together!

We're not on Upwork.

Studio Simpatico is a three-person freelance WordPress design and development studio in New York City. We build custom themes from scratch, and you work directly with the people writing your code.

    Three people, all senior

    Tamara leads strategy and UX. Bruce leads design. Corey leads development. That's the studio. No junior devs, no subcontractors, no offshore team behind the scenes. The person you email is the person doing the work.

    Custom themes and plugins

    We build WordPress themes and plugins from scratch. No page builders, no Divi, no Elementor. Your site gets its own codebase, built around your content and your brand. It loads fast because there's nothing in it you don't need.

    WordPress is it for us

    Some developers do WordPress alongside Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, whatever the client asks for. We only build on WordPress. Custom post types, custom fields, custom admin interfaces. It's what we've done for over a decade.

    A back-end you can use

    The point of a custom build is that your content person can update the site without submitting a ticket. We build editing interfaces that are obvious: clear labels, only the fields you need, no guessing. If your team can't manage it independently, we haven't done our job.
