We Build WordPress Websites Designed to Last
I'm Jason Hanes, founder and lead WordPress developer at Square Orange. I lead the builds we ship and bring over a decade of experience delivering fast, maintainable sites for companies, agencies, and independent clients.
At Square Orange, we focus on what matters after launch: speed, maintainability, clear admin workflows, and a codebase another developer can confidently step into later.

A Partner That Sticks Around After Launch
We partner with agencies, marketing teams, and founders to ship custom WordPress builds, multisite platforms, and ecommerce experiences that are built to last. At Square Orange, projects stay collaborative and transparent, with clear requirements, sensible timelines, and clean code your team is comfortable owning. Discovery conversations focus on understanding how the business works, how content flows through the organization, and how the website needs to support both today's goals and tomorrow's growth.
That discovery phase shapes the architecture of the build. Some projects require a flexible content system that empowers a marketing team to publish quickly. Others demand structured templates that keep dozens of pages consistent across a large organization. Square Orange designs WordPress solutions that match the way teams actually work, balancing flexibility with structure so that content editors stay confident and the system remains predictable.
Performance is treated as a core requirement from the start of every project. Theme architecture, asset loading, and template structure are designed to keep pages fast and reliable. Clean markup, efficient queries, and thoughtful caching strategies help ensure that sites remain responsive as content grows. The result is a site that loads quickly, performs well in search, and delivers a smooth experience for visitors.
The admin experience is just as important as the public site. WordPress should make content management easier, not harder. Square Orange builds intuitive editing interfaces using structured fields, clear labels, and reusable content components. Editors can update pages confidently without worrying about breaking layouts or introducing inconsistencies across the site.
Behind the scenes, the codebase is designed for longevity. Templates remain organized, components are reusable, and development standards prioritize readability and maintainability. When another developer opens the project months or years later, the structure makes sense. This approach protects the investment clients make in their website and ensures the platform can evolve as needs change.
Most projects do not end at launch, and that is intentional. Square Orange continues to support many of the teams it builds for through ongoing improvements, performance tuning, and new feature development. As organizations grow and priorities shift, their websites adapt alongside them, supported by a codebase and partnership designed to last.
Why Teams Choose Square Orange
Square Orange works with teams that want more than a quick website launch. Agencies, marketing departments, and founders often come to us when they need a WordPress build that will remain stable, fast, and easy to manage long after the initial release. The goal is not simply to ship a website. The goal is to build a platform that continues to support the organization as it grows.
With more than a decade of WordPress development experience, Square Orange has worked across a wide range of project types. These include custom marketing websites, multisite networks that support many brands, and ecommerce implementations that require careful attention to performance and reliability. That experience helps shape practical technical decisions that keep projects moving forward without unnecessary complexity.
Many clients work with internal teams or outside agencies that continue to evolve the website after launch. Because of that, Square Orange builds projects with collaboration in mind. Code is organized clearly, templates follow consistent patterns, and documentation remains straightforward so another developer can step into the project without confusion.
We also understand the realities of marketing teams and content editors. A site should not require a developer every time someone needs to update a page. Structured editing tools and predictable content systems allow teams to publish updates confidently while still protecting the design and structure of the site.
Square Orange intentionally focuses on custom development rather than relying on heavy page builder ecosystems. This approach keeps sites lean, fast, and easier to maintain over time. It also allows each project to be designed around the specific goals of the organization instead of forcing the project to fit the limitations of a generic toolset.
At the center of every project is a simple philosophy. Build websites that are clear to use, straightforward to maintain, and resilient as business needs change. When those principles guide the development process, the result is a platform that teams can rely on for years rather than months.
