Hire Neve Developers

Neve is a free WordPress theme developed by ThemeIsle with over 300,000 active installations. It is a multipurpose theme optimised for speed – the core theme is under 30KB – and designed to work with Elementor, WPBakery, Beaver Builder, Brizy, and the Gutenberg block editor without conflicts. Neve’s starter site library provides over 100 pre-built demo sites for different niches, accessible through ThemeIsle’s Otter Blocks plugin.

Neve Pro adds advanced customisation capabilities: a header and footer builder with more layout options than the free version, custom layouts using a builder for archive and single post templates, white label options, and custom post type support. Neve’s customiser is structured cleanly, separating global, header, footer, and page-type settings into logical sections.

Neve is a common choice for agencies building client sites that need a fast, clean base that works with whatever page builder the client project requires. Customisation work on Neve ranges from minor CSS adjustments to full child theme builds where the default Neve structure is extended significantly.

Neve development work typically involves:

• Child theme development for CSS and PHP customisations.
• Neve Pro custom layout templates – building custom archive and single post templates using Neve Pro’s template builder.
• Header and footer customisation using Neve’s builder.
• WooCommerce integration – configuring Neve’s WooCommerce settings for product pages and shop archive layout.
• Performance optimisation – configuring Neve’s selective asset loading to disable scripts and styles on pages where they are not used.
• Conflict resolution – diagnosing Neve conflicts with specific plugins after updates.

Look for developers who know both Neve free and Neve Pro capabilities, as many customisation requirements are handled differently in each. Ask specifically about experience with Neve Pro’s custom layout builder – this is the feature that most distinguishes Neve Pro from the free version for developer projects.

For page builder projects, ask which builder they use most with Neve. Neve works with all builders but some developers have preferences that affect how they approach specific layout problems.

Common Neve problems:

• Neve header layout not applying on specific pages – a Neve Pro custom header is configured but the conditional display rules are not matching the page. Review the custom header conditions in Neve Pro settings.
• Custom CSS not loading – the CSS is in the child theme but the child theme stylesheet is not enqueuing correctly. Verify the child theme’s functions.php enqueues the stylesheet properly.
• Neve WooCommerce product images not the right size – the WooCommerce image dimensions in Neve’s customiser override the WooCommerce settings. Check both locations for conflicting size settings.

Neve updates regularly. Both Neve and Neve Pro should be kept updated. ThemeIsle also updates the Otter Blocks plugin which integrates with Neve starter sites – keeping all three current ensures compatibility.

Specify whether you have Neve free or Neve Pro, which page builder is in use, and the specific customisation or problem. For design work, share references or a design file.
