For Web Design Firms
You design it. We build it in WordPress.
Your studio lives in Figma. Your clients live on WordPress. Oktohut is the dedicated dev pod that turns your designs into pixel-perfect, fast, maintainable WordPress builds — white-labeled as your own team.
Built For Agencies That…
- Design in Figma but don't want to dev
- Lose margin to unreliable build partners
- Need pixel-perfect, on-brand WordPress builds
- Want to take on more client projects at once
- Don't want devs sitting idle between projects
Sound Familiar?
Great design dies in bad development
Web design studios produce beautiful work — then hand it to a build partner who flattens the detail, blows the deadline, or breaks on mobile. Here's where it goes wrong.
01
Design Fidelity
Builds never match the mockup
You obsess over spacing, type, and motion in Figma. The dev partner ships something 80% there — wrong margins, swapped fonts, dead animations. You spend days in revision hell.
02
Hiring Developers
In-house devs are dead weight
Project work is lumpy. A full-time WordPress dev is fully booked one month and idle the next — but you're paying $8k either way. Utilisation never works out.
03
Freelance Roulette
Every project, a new freelancer
You find a great dev. They get a full-time job. You find another. They ghost mid-project. There's no continuity, no shared standards, and your reputation rides on people you barely know.
04
Capacity & Pipeline
You turn down good work
Two great projects land the same week. You can only staff one. So you delay the client, or decline the work, or overload your team and ship something you're not proud of.
05
Handoff & Maintenance
The site breaks after launch
You design, build, launch — and then the client emails six months later with a broken plugin. You're a design studio, not a support desk, but now you're on the hook anyway.
06
Animation & Interaction
Motion gets lost in translation
Your prototype has gorgeous scroll interactions and micro-animations. Most WordPress devs can't replicate them — so the live site feels flat compared to what you sold the client.
How Oktohut Fits
The build team that respects your design
You stay the creative lead. Your pod becomes the development craft behind every project — translating your Figma into WordPress that actually looks like the design.
Pixel-perfect Figma → WordPress
We build to the design, not around it. Exact spacing, type scale, and breakpoints. The live site matches the mockup — every time.
Custom themes & page builders
Hand-coded custom themes, or Elementor / Gutenberg / Bricks when the client needs to self-edit. We build the way each project demands. .
Scroll & micro-interactions
GSAP, Lottie, scroll-triggered reveals, hover states, page transitions. The motion you designed, faithfully on the live site.
Elastic capacity, zero payroll
Take on two projects at once. Scale up with a second pod, down when it's quiet. Never turn down work or carry idle devs again.
CMS & client handoff
Clean ACF structures, editor-friendly blocks, and documentation so clients can update content without breaking the design. Handoffs that actually stick.
Post-launch care & maintenance
Plugin updates, security, backups, small edits — handled by the pod under your brand. Offer ongoing care plans without staffing a support desk.

Editor-friendly Gutenberg / ACF blocks so clients can manage content without breaking layout.
3-5 days
05
Design QA & polish pass

2–3 days
06

The Margin Story
Keep the build margin inside your studio
When you subcontract development, the markup walks out the door. With a pod, you bill the build at your studio’s rate and keep the difference — on every project, without the payroll risk of an in-house dev.
Run the numbers honestly: a site build billed at $12,000 with a pod production cost of ~$2,200 = $9,800 retained — versus handing $7–8k to a freelance dev shop.

Agency Stories
How design studios use the pod
We're a five-person design studio — zero developers. Oktohut is our entire build department. Clients think we have an in-house dev team. The builds match our Figma exactly, which never happened with freelancers.
Studio Founder
The motion was always the problem. We'd prototype beautiful scroll interactions and freelancers would butcher them. The pod ships our GSAP animations faithfully — the live sites finally feel like the pitch.
Creative Director
We used to cap at one project at a time — now we run three. The pod lets us scale without hiring. We've doubled revenue in a year and our team still only does what they love: design.

FAQ for Web Design Firms
Specific questions for design studios
How close to the design can you really get?
Pixel-perfect is the standard, not the exception. We build from your Figma using exact tokens — spacing, type scale, colour, breakpoints. Every build goes through a design-QA pass against your file before it reaches you. If it doesn't match, it isn't done.
Do you build custom themes or use page builders?
Both — we build the way each project demands. Hand-coded custom themes when you want full control and performance, or Elementor / Gutenberg / Bricks when the client needs to self-edit. We'll recommend the right approach on the intake call.
Can you build the scroll animations and interactions we design?
Yes — motion is a core strength. GSAP, Lottie, scroll-triggered reveals, page transitions, and complex hover states. Share the prototype or a reference and we'll replicate the feel faithfully on the live WordPress site.
Can we run multiple client projects through one pod?
One pod handles one active build at a time, with smaller tickets queued alongside. Studios running several concurrent projects usually add a second pod — giving you parallel build capacity without hiring or carrying idle developers.
Do you build in Webflow or Framer too?
Our pods are WordPress specialists — that's where we go deep, including WooCommerce. We don't do Webflow or Framer builds. If your studio designs in Figma and your clients need WordPress, we're the perfect build partner.
Can you handle WooCommerce projects too?
Absolutely. From simple product catalogues to complex WooCommerce stores with custom functionality, subscriptions, and integrations, we've built them all. We'll follow your designs precisely while keeping performance and usability front of mind.
You design it.
We'll build it right.
