ABOUT SHIELDTHEMES
We started by shipping themes. Now we build and protect whole businesses.
ShieldThemes began in 2014 as a two-person WordPress theme shop. Today we're 48 engineers, designers and AI specialists across three studios — still obsessed with clean code, still personally accountable for everything we launch.

PRINCIPLES
What we hold ourselves to
01
Senior by default
Every project is led by someone with 8+ years of experience. No bait-and-switch juniors.
02
Security is not an add-on
Hardening, backups and monitoring are part of every build — hence the shield.
03
Price before work
Fixed quotes, written scope, and change requests priced before they happen.
04
You own everything
Code, designs, accounts and data are yours from day one. No lock-in.
