Custom WordPress Theme

Harbor Lights

Harbor Lights demonstrates that WordPress done right is a serious platform. The custom theme was built from scratch with semantic PHP templates, no page builder overhead, and a design that reflects the organization's warmth and community focus. Content management is intuitive enough for staff to update without developer involvement.
