Birmingham Web Design: Custom Drupal & WordPress Websites

A Birmingham-area web developer since 1997

ldnddev, LLC is a home-based web development studio in Chelsea, Alabama, just south of Birmingham. Founder Jared Lyvers has been building websites since 1997, and in that time has designed, developed, and launched more than 200 websites. Today that experience goes into custom Drupal and WordPress builds for organizations across Birmingham, Hoover, Pelham, Alabaster, Vestavia Hills, Mountain Brook, Homewood, and the rest of Shelby County and Jefferson County.

If you are looking for a web designer near Birmingham who will write the code, answer the phone, and still be around after launch, that is how ldnddev works. You talk directly with the person building your site, from the first planning call to the day it goes live and beyond.

Custom Drupal and WordPress websites

Every project starts with your goals, not a template. We plan the information architecture, design for every screen size, and build on the platform that fits the job:

• Drupal for larger, content-heavy, and compliance-sensitive sites that need structured content, granular user roles, and long-term flexibility.
• WordPress for organizations that want a familiar editing experience and a fast, well-built site their team can update with confidence.
• Pantheon hosting for both platforms, with dev, test, and live environments, so changes are reviewed before they reach your visitors.

Not sure which CMS is right for you? Our article on headless vs. traditional CMS in 2026 walks through the trade-offs, and you can see the full range of what we offer on the services page.

Built for the organizations Birmingham relies on

ldnddev focuses on the kinds of organizations that need a website to work hard every day: healthcare and medical groups, outreach and non-profit organizations, lifestyle brands, and B2B companies. Healthcare sites need a secure infrastructure and a HIPAA-conscious tech stack. Outreach and non-profit sites need clear calls to action and easy content updates. B2B sites need to explain complex services and turn visitors into conversations. We have built for all of them, and we bring that experience to Birmingham-area businesses of every size.

Accessibility you can stand behind

An accessible website reaches more people and lowers your legal risk. ldnddev provides ADA and WCAG audits with a clear roadmap for fixing what we find, and accessibility is built into every new site from the start. We even build our own open-source accessibility tooling, such as dd_wcag, a terminal tool for WCAG color contrast testing.

Free WCAG audit: ldnddev offers a free WCAG accessibility audit of your current website. It is a no-pressure way to find out where your site stands and what it would take to improve it.

What working together looks like

1. Discovery. We learn about your organization, your audience, and what the website needs to accomplish.
2. Planning. We map out the site structure, content, and features, and recommend Drupal or WordPress.
3. Design and development. We build and test the site across devices, with performance and accessibility checked along the way.
4. Launch and support. We launch on Pantheon and stay available for updates, improvements, and ongoing development.
