Blakol is an EU-based WordPress engineering studio. We’re deeply technical and built around one idea: the person solving your problem should be the one who understands it best.
Blakol grew out of that work. After years of senior freelance and product development — including running Apollo13Themes — we built Blakol to do fewer things, better, for clients who depend on their websites and can’t afford guesswork.
We are not a content farm or a reseller. When you hire us, you work directly with a senior engineer. A focused junior team handles implementation under close review, which keeps us fast and keeps quality high — but the judgment, architecture, and final sign-off are always senior.
Being EU-based is an advantage we lean into: timezone overlap with Europe and early US hours, GDPR in our DNA, and engineering quality that holds its own anywhere.
Maintainable, documented, no shortcuts that become tomorrow’s emergency.

If you don’t need the expensive option, we’ll tell you. Trust is the whole business.
We use AI the way a senior engineer should — to move faster and cut the busywork. The architecture, judgment, and final quality check stay human. AI made building sites easy; it also made breaking them easy. Knowing the difference is what experience buys you.
Small by design — so the people who understand your site are the ones working on it.
