Where Imagination Meets Functionality

Your business is unique, and so your website should be too. Off-the-shelf templates and plug-ins can only take you so far. Clients often ask us to connect their website to third-party tools like payment systems, email platforms, or booking software. We also build interactive features, like maps and quizzes.

We love a good challenge and are always excited to explore what’s possible. We have the technical knowledge and tool belt to put together custom website features. If you can dream it, chances are we can build it.

Development + Support

Building a custom feature is only the first step. At Matchbox Design Group, our development and support teams work side by side, combining their problem-solving skills to deliver the best solutions.

Our developers design and build web solutions with long-term stability in mind, while our support team monitors performance, handles updates, and makes sure everything continues to run as expected. Whether it’s troubleshooting an issue, refining a feature, or adapting it to new technology, we’ve got you covered.

Creating a Seamless Shopping Experience with WooCommerce

When Imperial Headwear came to us, their goal was simple: create an online store that matched the same quality and performance as their gear. We knew that a basic template wouldn’t cut it, so our development team integrated WooCommerce into WordPress to give them a flexible and scalable e-commerce platform.

From optimized product pages to a streamlined checkout flow, we built a shopping experience that’s as smooth on mobile as it is on desktop. The result is a website that allows Imperial Headwear to showcase their products, connect with customers, and grow their brand online.

Questions?

Why should I invest in custom development instead of just using plug-ins or templates?

Plug-ins are great for simple solutions, but they can be limiting, messy, and even slow down your site. Custom development gives you a feature built specifically for your business and your users, with clean code that’s faster, more secure, and easier to maintain long-term.

How do you make sure custom features don’t break over time?

Our dev and support teams work hand-in-hand. We build features with scalability in mind, rigorously test them across devices and browsers, and continue to monitor and update them after launch. That way, your website keeps running smoothly as your business grows.

Will custom development make my website harder to update?

Not at all. We take extra care to make features intuitive on the backend, so you don’t need to be “techy” to use them. If we add a custom tool, we’ll also make sure you know exactly how to manage it moving forward.

Do I need a full website rebuild to get custom development, or can you add features to my existing site?

We can do both. If you already have a fully functional website, we can add individual custom features as standalone projects. If you’re working with us on a full website rebuild, we’ll scope custom development separately so you only pay for the features you actually need.
