01
Development by the team that built Reign
We wrote Reign. We know every layout option, every BuddyPress integration, every Dokan touchpoint. Customizations land where they should, the first time.
Customization survives Reign updates.
Engagement Reign Theme Development
Reign theme development by the team that built Reign.
Community sites, multi-vendor marketplaces, BuddyBoss integrations, Dokan customization. Reign development by the people who wrote the theme. Engagements are scope-dependent.
Reign is our theme. We have been shipping it since 2017.
Dokan Multi-vendor marketplace
WCFM B2B and service marketplaces
WC Vendors Vendor store layouts
LearnDash Courses inside the community
LifterLMS Membership-led learning
Tutor LMS Instructor marketplaces
Sensei WooCommerce-native courses
WP Job Manager Job boards
GeoDirectory Directories and listings
Customisation on a theme we wrote means the integration you need probably already exists.
Why this matters
Reign sits at the intersection of theme, community plugin, and marketplace.
That intersection is where most customization breaks. The theme update changes a hook. The Dokan release moves a template. The BuddyPress release deprecates a function the customization relied on. Generic agencies miss the dependency chain. We built Reign and we run it in production. Customizations land in the right layer, with the right approach, and they survive every release.
What we customize
The right way to extend Reign, by the people who wrote it.
Reign + BuddyBoss + Dokan combinations. Multi-vendor marketplaces done right. Performance-first customization. Child themes that survive updates. Headless conversion at scale.
02
Reign + BuddyBoss + Dokan combinations
Reign integrates with BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, Dokan multi-vendor, WooCommerce, LearnDash, and MemberPress. We have shipped sites combining all of them. The integration layer is where most customizations need expertise.
Plugin combinations work without conflicts.
03
Multi-vendor marketplaces done right
Reign + Dokan is the WordPress multi-vendor stack. Custom vendor onboarding, custom commission structures, custom payout flows, custom vendor dashboards. We have built it at production scale.
Marketplace launches with all the moving parts working.
04
Performance-first customization
CSS audited for unused selectors. JavaScript bundled. Database queries optimized for the activity feed and member directory. Customizations do not regress your Lighthouse score.
Core Web Vitals stay green at scale.
05
Child themes that survive updates
Customizations through hooks and filters wherever possible. Child theme overrides only when necessary. CSS targeting that survives upstream changes. Updates land cleanly.
Reign and BuddyPress updates do not break the site.
06
Headless Reign with Astro available
When the customization is large enough, we can convert Reign to a headless architecture with Astro on the marketing surface. Editors and members stay in WordPress. Visitors get a sub-second site.
Marketing pages served static from the edge, Core Web Vitals green.

How engagements work
From inquiry to launched customization.
01
Discovery
One week. Discovery call within 48 hours. We audit your Reign install plus the plugins it integrates with, scope the customization, and ship a fixed-price quote with wireframes.
Fixed scope, fixed price.
02
Build
Three to sixteen weeks. Customization ships in stages on staging. Plugin compatibility tested continuously. Multi-vendor flows tested with real vendor accounts.
Staging visible from week one.
03
Launch + handoff
One to two weeks. Production deploy in a low-traffic window, vendor onboarding tested live, monitoring for the first 30 days, child theme documentation handed off.
Your team owns the customization.
Theme plus engine
Reign is the visual layer. This is the engine.
Reign gives you the design. For the community underneath, the modern stack is BuddyNext with Jetonomy and MediaVerse. It is a fresh system, so we plan it as a new community build.
-
BuddyNext
The community engine our themes run on. Your feed and member directory stay fast as the community grows.
View BuddyNext -
Jetonomy
Threaded discussion and points that keep members coming back.

MediaVerse
Real photo and video sharing for members, not just avatars.

What it costs
Reign pricing follows which engine you are running underneath it.
Brand alignment on a Reign install and a marketplace launch with vendor dashboards are the same sentence and very different projects. Here is what moves the number.
What moves the number
- Which addon you are on We maintain nine Reign addons: Dokan, WCFM, WC Vendors, LearnDash, LifterLMS, Tutor, Sensei, WP Job Manager and GeoDirectory. Starting from one of those is much cheaper than starting from nothing.
- Marketplace or community A community skin is theming. A marketplace adds vendor dashboards, commission display and payout screens, which is product work.
- How much is styling Reign exposes a lot through options. If your requirement lands inside that, the honest answer is that you may not need us at all.
- Whether updates must survive A child theme that keeps taking Reign updates costs more up front and much less over the life of the site.
- How many surfaces change Vendor pages, member pages, course pages and the directory are separate builds even when they share a design.
Small, well-defined work is usually better handled as an hourly block than scoped as a project, and we will say so rather than inflate it into one.

Common questions
Frequently asked
-
I have Reign Pro. Can you customize it?
Yes. We customize Reign Pro on top of any combination of BuddyPress, BuddyBoss, Dokan, WooCommerce, LearnDash, MemberPress, and the other community-platform plugins it supports.
-
I want to build a marketplace with Reign + Dokan. Can you?
Yes. Multi-vendor marketplaces are one of our deepest capabilities. Vendor onboarding, commission rules, payout schedules, vendor reviews, withdrawal management, and custom vendor dashboards are all part of our standard work.
-
Will the customization break when Reign updates?
No, when we do it right. We use WordPress hooks and filters, child theme overrides where necessary, and CSS targeting that survives upstream changes. We test customizations against beta releases of Reign before they ship.
-
How long does a typical Reign project take?
Light customization (color, typography, layout adjustments): two to three weeks. Mid-size (custom community templates, Dokan customization, BP integration): four to eight weeks. Major customization (full marketplace launch or headless conversion): ten to twenty weeks.
-
Do you maintain the customization after launch?
We can. A retainer covers Reign update testing, BuddyBoss compatibility, Dokan compatibility, WooCommerce update safety, and ongoing feature work. Many Reign customization clients move to a retainer after launch.
-
What does it cost?
Reign work is estimated against scope rather than sold at a list price. Aligning an install to your brand and launching a marketplace with vendor dashboards and payout screens are very different projects. The section above sets out what moves the number.
