AIM Custom Themes

We believe every website needs to be versatile and ready to adapt to future needs. The WordPress platform relies on “themes” to structure and style websites, but most themes are designed to present information for a particular purpose, such as a news blog or a travel website. Our customizable theme takes a different approach. It is designed to be flexible from the outset to accommodate virtually any design or purpose. That means changes both big and small can be implemented quickly and less expensively than switching to an entirely new theme as is standard practice with WordPress.

Full-site Editing with Corgi

In the last few years, WordPress has implemented a versatile new format called block editing. It gives content providers a wide assortment of tools for presenting text, images, video, audio, galleries…just about any kind of content you can imagine and publish online. AIM has been on the cutting-edge of adopting these new technologies, which have allowed us to provide clients with major updates with a minimum of time and cost. Our in-house full-site editing theme, called Corgi, gives us the power to use blocks to create every part of your website. As always, we have extended our custom theme to include features available only to AIM clients, such as our Build Test Pages (designed to provide you with a sandbox for testing designs and ideas), specialized blocks that provide special effects, such as fade-in or images with a Ken Burns effect, and a host of customizer controls to make quick style setting changes.

Corgi and the Dog Star–Sirius

Since no two websites are identical, we provide a child-theme called Sirius so customizations can be applied to your website that will never be lost if the main Corgi theme is updated. We have spent thousands of hours developing these and other website solutions to help us give you the best tools for success, no matter what your business needs to promote or communicate. In fact, our basic themes are so versatile that they can power websites as diverse as e-commerce shops, credit unions, and public service sites for fire departments.

Plugin Compatibility

Thousands of plugins that extend functionality in a myriad of ways are available for WordPress websites; many are free while some require a premium license. Of these, we have tested and used hundreds over the years so that we can provide our clients with the best, most cost-effective solutions. After all, we don’t want to charge customers for reinventing the wheel when a great wheel already exists. It is important to know that our websites are compatible with this vast library of plugins. Some of the popular plugins we use frequently include:
