I understand and would not use theme builder. I can convert your existing responsive HTML/CSS/JS into a lightweight custom WordPress theme while preserving the current design, responsiveness and UI across desktop, tablet and mobile. I’ll make the required content editable through WordPress/Gutenberg, including pages, services, FAQs, testimonials, logos, blog/resources and case studies. I’ll also configure enquiry forms, downloadable/gated resources, SEO metadata, social metadata and the required WordPress structure for adding future pages easily. I’ll avoid Elementor, Divi and other heavy page builders and keep the theme clean, maintainable and performance-focused with minimal plugins. I’ll also handle testing, deployment and complete source-code handover. I understand the NDA and ownership requirements and will not use or publish the project materials without permission.

I understand and would not use theme builder. You already have the hardest part done well: responsive HTML/CSS/JS across 20–22 pages. The real risk now is turning that into a WordPress setup without bloating it with builders or making future edits painful, so I’d convert the existing front-end into a lean custom theme with Gutenberg-friendly editable sections, reusable page structures, and clean handling for blog, case studies, forms, and gated downloads. I’ve worked on WordPress builds where clients wanted pixel-accurate conversion from supplied HTML/Figma while keeping the admin simple for non-technical teams. That usually means avoiding unnecessary plugins, structuring templates properly, adding editable SEO fields, and making sure new service pages can be added later without breaking the original design system. - Will gated downloads use a simple form-unlock flow with email notification, or do you need files delivered through an email sequence? - Are blog/resources and case studies separate post types in your plan? - Will deployment be on your hosting/staging, or should I prepare the full theme package first for handover?

I understand and would not use theme builder. Here is our precise methodology to convert your 20–22 HTML pages into a custom WordPress build: Custom Theme Architecture: We will convert your static HTML/CSS/JS directly into a clean, custom WP theme from scratch (no heavy page builders). Gutenberg & Custom Fields (ACF): We'll register native Gutenberg blocks and custom fields (ACF PRO/Native Meta) tailored to your existing UI components (testimonials, service blocks, FAQs, gated resource downloads). This gives you full, seamless editing control without bloating the DOM. Dynamic CMS & CPTs: We will build Custom Post Types for Blog/Resources and Case Studies with structured taxonomies, enquiry lead captures, and gated PDF triggers. Performance & SEO: Hand-coded implementation ensures near-zero dependencies, minimal plugin reliance, 90+ PageSpeed potential, and clean schema. Rank Math / Yoast will be fully configured for editable meta tags. Security & Deployment: Staging setup, thorough cross-device QA, full migration to your server, complete handover of credentials/source code, and signed NDA compliance.

I understand and would not use theme builder. Since the site is already fully built in HTML, this is really about doing the WordPress layer properly: preserving the exact responsive UI, keeping code lightweight, and making the right content editable without turning the backend into a mess. I’d approach it as a custom theme conversion with native WordPress/Gutenberg components, reusable templates, SEO-ready structure, and clean content architecture for future service-page expansion. I’ve handled similar custom WordPress conversions from existing front-end assets where the client specifically wanted no Elementor/Divi and full source-code ownership at handover. In projects like this, careful theme structure, custom post types where needed, and minimal plugin reliance matter more than flashy shortcuts, especially when maintainability and NDA sensitivity are important. - For the 20–22 pages, are there many repeated layouts that can be made into reusable templates/blocks? - Do the enquiry forms need to connect only to email notifications, or also to a CRM/spreadsheet? - For editable metadata, do you have a preferred SEO plugin between Yoast and Rank Math?

"No theme builder" is the right call — a hand-built theme from your HTML stays fast and doesn't carry Elementor's bloat into every page load. - Your HTML/CSS converted into a proper WordPress theme: template hierarchy, header/footer, reusable parts - Content made editable through native WP fields/ACF so you edit text and images, not markup - Responsive check, clean enqueueing of assets, no page-builder dependency Proof: I build and maintain production websites and CMS-driven platforms; converting static markup into a maintainable theme is straightforward work for me. How many templates does the HTML cover (home, inner, blog, contact?) and do you need a blog/news section wired up? Delivery 3 days from receiving the files. Martin

I understand and would not use theme builder. I'll register ACF blocks for Gutenberg so editors get native blocks matching your HTML sections, wire CPTs for Case Studies and Resources with gated PDF downloads behind a form submission, and ship the theme with Rank Math plus per-page meta fields. One catch: gated PDFs need direct URLs blocked, otherwise Google indexes the file and bypasses the form. 1) Should gated downloads email the PDF, or unlock it after submit? 2) Rank Math or Yoast preference?
