River Holistic Therapies
WordPress custom theme for a complementary therapy practice in Southampton.
Vibe-coded sites rebuilt on WordPress
Sites designed with Lovable, v0, Bolt, Claude or Figma Make, rebuilt as WordPress websites the owner edits.
A vibe-coded site looks finished and then stops. The words are hard-coded, the form does nothing, Google sees a blank page until a script runs, and the hosting is a subscription to the tool. We keep the design and rebuild it on WordPress: real pages, an editor you can use, a form that lands in your inbox, and hosting you own.
We build this way ourselves. River Holistic Therapies went from a half-built site and a box of leaflets to a custom WordPress theme with eight treatment pages and Fresha booking in an afternoon, built with Claude Code. Nimble Shift, an AI governance advisory, was designed and built the same way and finished by hand.
What arrives from an AI tool is the brief, not the product. See website design for what is included in every build.
How it works.
Questions.
- We could, and it would still have every headline hard-coded and a whole app framework loading to show plain text. Instead we rebuild it as a WordPress site with the same design, so every page is editable and the pages load fast on a phone.
- Yes. Layout, colours, type and images are carried across. What changes is underneath: proper pages, an editor, a working form and search basics.
- Forms, logins and data on a prototype platform such as Supabase do not carry across. A contact form is rebuilt in WordPress and saved on the site. A prototype with user accounts or a dashboard is a custom build and gets a conversation first.
- Yes. Our own sites are built with Claude Code and finished by hand, which is why a brochure site costs what it does. River Holistic Therapies and Nimble Shift on this page were built that way.
- The site is normal WordPress, so you can edit it in the editor or connect an AI tool to it. Either way the words live in WordPress, not in code.
- The same as any site of that size. Budget websites come in under £500, and many under £300 including hosting for the first year. The cost calculator gives a guide price by page count.
