01

WordPress Website Development Services

WordPress website development is the process of building a business website on WordPress: structure, design, content templates and admin setup. We build custom WordPress websites that load fast, work on every screen size, and stay easy for your team to edit after launch, without depending on a developer for routine changes.

What’s included
Custom designMapped to your services, audience and conversion goals.
Mobile-first buildTested on real phone, tablet and desktop widths.
Core Web VitalsPerformance targets built into the first template, not patched later.
SEO-ready structureClean headings, internal linking, schema, indexable content.
Easy adminEditable blocks and templates instead of locked-down layouts.
Handover trainingA walkthrough call plus a short written guide for your team.

When you need this

  • You are launching a business and need a site that sells, not a brochure
  • Your current site looks dated and no longer matches how you work
  • You have hit the limits of a template and every change breaks something
  • You need custom features like booking, calculators or member areas

Before and after

Before

A template site that loads slowly, reads generically, and needs a developer for every small edit.

After

A fast custom site your team edits themselves, built to pass Core Web Vitals and structured to rank.

Typical delivery: 3 to 6 weeks from approved scope, depending on page count and content readiness.

Scope and price agreed in writing before any work starts.
02

WordPress Bug Fixes & Troubleshooting

WordPress bug fixing means finding the actual cause of a broken site instead of hiding the symptom. We diagnose the root cause, reproduce it on a staging copy, apply the fix there, and only push it live once it is verified. You get a short written report of what broke, why, and what we changed.

What’s included
Root-cause diagnosisTraced through server and error logs, not guesswork.
Staging-first fixesYour live site stays untouched until the fix works.
Plugin conflictsTheme and plugin clashes resolved after updates.
Layout breaksDisplay problems fixed across browsers and devices.
Error resolutionWhite screen, 500 errors, database connection, fatal errors.
Post-fix reportPlain language, plus notes on how to prevent a repeat.

When you need this

  • Something broke and you do not know what changed
  • An update went through and now a page, form or checkout fails
  • You are seeing error messages instead of your website
  • Your previous developer disappeared and nobody knows how it works

Before and after

Before

A broken page, a failing form, or an error screen where your site should be, with no idea what caused it.

After

The cause found and fixed on staging, pushed live and verified, with a written note on what to avoid next time.

Typical turnaround: 24 to 72 hours, and same-day where the site is fully down.

03

WordPress Speed Optimization Services

WordPress speed optimization is the work of reducing what a page has to load and how long the server takes to respond. We audit the site, fix the heaviest causes first, and report before-and-after numbers including Core Web Vitals, measured on mobile as well as desktop.

What’s included
Full performance auditServer response, scripts, plugins and hosting limits.
Caching setupConfigured for your specific host and plugin stack.
Image optimizationCorrect sizing, WebP conversion and lazy loading.
Database cleanupRevisions, transients, orphaned tables, bloated options.
Core Web Vitals passTargeting LCP, CLS and INP on mobile first.
Before/after reportReal page timings, not just a score badge.

When you need this

  • Your site feels slow and visitors leave before it finishes loading
  • Rankings slipped after a Google update or a redesign
  • You are paying for ads that land on a page taking seconds to appear
  • Mobile bounce rate is far worse than desktop

Before and after

Before

Heavy pages, failing Core Web Vitals on mobile, and visitors leaving before the first screen paints.

After

Lighter pages, caching tuned to your host, and a passing mobile score with the timings to prove it.

Typical turnaround: about one week, with the audit and first wins inside 48 hours.

04

WordPress Security & Malware Removal Services

WordPress security work has two halves: cleaning what is already infected and closing the door that let it in. We remove malware, find and seal the entry point, harden the install, and set up monitoring, because a cleanup without hardening usually means the same site gets hit again within weeks.

What’s included
Malware cleanupInfected files, injected code and rogue admin users removed.
Entry-point closureThe hole that let them in gets sealed, not ignored.
Firewall configurationTuned to your traffic instead of a default preset.
HardeningFile permissions, login protection, version and API exposure.
MonitoringFile change, uptime and malware signature alerts.
Incident responseGoogle blacklist and browser warning removal requests.

When you need this

  • Your site has been hacked or defaced
  • Google or the browser shows a warning in front of your site
  • Visitors get redirected to spam, or search shows pages you never wrote
  • It has happened before and you want it to stop happening

Before and after

Before

Spam redirects, a browser warning in front of your site, and customers who cannot reach you.

After

Site clean, entry point closed, warnings lifted, and monitoring in place so a repeat gets caught early.

Typical turnaround: cleanup starts same day, most sites clean and hardened in 24 to 48 hours.

05

WordPress SEO Services

WordPress SEO is the technical and structural work that lets search engines and AI assistants understand your site: crawlable architecture, clean headings, schema, fast pages and clear answers. We fix what is holding the site back first, then report which changes moved which pages.

What’s included
Technical auditIndexing, crawl waste, redirects, canonicals, duplicates.
Semantic structureHeading hierarchy, internal linking, topic grouping.
Schema markupServices, articles, FAQs, local business and reviews.
Speed factorsThe performance signals that affect rankings directly.
AI-search readinessClear answer blocks that assistants can quote.
Plain-language reportingWhat changed, and what it moved.

When you need this

  • Your site is live but traffic is flat and nothing you publish ranks
  • Competitors outrank you on terms you should own
  • Traffic dropped after a redesign, migration or URL change
  • You are invisible in AI answers even when the question matches your service

Before and after

Before

Pages competing with each other, thin structure, no schema, and nothing ranking for the terms that matter.

After

A clean crawlable structure, schema in place, answer blocks that get quoted, and reporting tied to real pages.

Typical timeline: fixes in 2 to 3 weeks, ranking movement usually visible in 6 to 12 weeks.

06

WordPress Maintenance & Support Services

WordPress maintenance is the routine care that keeps a live site safe and working: updates tested on staging before they reach production, verified backups, uptime and security monitoring, and small content edits handled for you. One monthly report tells you what was done and what needs a decision.

What’s included
Core and plugin updatesTested on a staging copy before they touch production.
BackupsTaken on a schedule and restore-tested, not just stored.
Uptime monitoringAlerts that reach a human who can act on them.
Security scansRegular malware checks and vulnerability review.
Small editsText, images, new sections and minor layout changes.
Monthly reportPlain language, no dashboard homework for you.

When you need this

  • You do not have time to manage the site yourself
  • You avoid clicking update because last time it broke something
  • The site is business critical and downtime costs you real money
  • You want one predictable contact instead of hunting for help mid-emergency

Before and after

Before

Updates you are scared to run, backups nobody has tested, and problems found by customers first.

After

Staging-tested updates, restore-tested backups, monitoring that alerts us, and one monthly report you can read.

Ongoing, month to month. Small edit requests are usually done in 1 business day.

07

WordPress Customization Services

WordPress customization is changing what an existing theme or plugin does, without rebuilding the whole site. We work in child themes and documented code so your changes survive the next update, which is the usual reason customizations quietly disappear.

What’s included
Theme changesLayouts, templates, typography, spacing, components.
Plugin tweaksSo a tool behaves the way your business actually works.
Custom featuresFilters, calculators, custom post types, client dashboards.
IntegrationsCRM, email, payments, booking and analytics tools.
Child-theme safe workChanges that survive future theme updates.
DocumentationA written record of every change we make.

When you need this

  • Your theme is almost right, but a few things do not fit
  • A plugin does 80% of what you need and you need the other 20%
  • Your workflow needs a feature no off-the-shelf plugin covers
  • Past customizations were overwritten by an update

Before and after

Before

Workarounds, manual steps, and custom tweaks that vanish every time the theme updates.

After

The feature works the way your business does, built in a child theme and documented so it survives updates.

Typical turnaround: small tweaks in 2 to 5 days, custom features in 1 to 3 weeks.

08

WordPress Installation, Setup & Migration

A WordPress setup done properly takes about the same time as a rushed one and saves months of trouble: clean install, correct hosting configuration, essential plugins only, security defaults, working email and SSL. Moving an existing site? We migrate it with no downtime and no lost URLs.

What’s included
Clean installNo bundled bloat or leftover demo content.
Hosting configurationPHP version, limits, caching and a staging environment.
Essential pluginsChosen deliberately and kept to a minimum.
Security defaultsApplied at setup, not bolted on afterwards.
Email and SSLConfigured and delivery-tested before handover.
Migration and handoverFull access, credentials and a short walkthrough.

When you need this

  • You are starting a new site and want the foundation right
  • You are changing hosts and cannot afford downtime or lost rankings
  • Whoever set it up before left it messy, insecure or undocumented
  • Your forms do not send email and nobody knows why

Before and after

Before

A messy install on the wrong plan, forms that never arrive, and a migration you are afraid to attempt.

After

Clean install, tuned hosting, working email and SSL, moved with no downtime and every URL preserved.

Typical turnaround: setup in 1 to 2 days, most migrations completed in 24 to 48 hours.

Honest pricing

How much does WordPress development cost?

There is no single number, and anyone quoting one before seeing your requirements is guessing. Cost is driven by scope. Here is exactly what moves it, so you can estimate roughly before you talk to anyone, including us.

Site sizeA five-page service site and a forty-page site with filtering are different projects. Page count matters less than how many unique templates are needed.
Custom featuresBooking, memberships, calculators, multi-step forms and integrations each add build and testing time. Standard content pages do not.
Design starting pointWorking from your existing brand and approved designs is faster than designing from scratch. Both are fine, they simply cost differently.
Content readinessIf copy, images and product data are ready, the build moves. If we are waiting on content, timelines stretch and so does cost.
TimelineA normal schedule costs less than a compressed one. Rush work means reordering other commitments.
Ongoing careMaintenance is separate from the build. It is a monthly cost, not a one-off, and it is optional. See care plans.
Honest triage

When should you hire a WordPress developer?

Not every WordPress job needs a developer. Plenty of things you can genuinely do yourself in an afternoon, and we would rather tell you that than sell you an hour. Here is the honest split.

You can probably do this yourself

  • Editing text, swapping images, publishing posts and pages
  • Adding a page with your existing templates
  • Installing a well-known plugin and using its default settings
  • Basic SEO fields such as titles, descriptions and alt text
  • Running updates on a small, backed-up site with no custom code

This is developer work

  • The site is down, throwing errors, or behaving differently after an update
  • You have been hacked, or Google is showing a warning
  • Speed problems that persist after installing a caching plugin
  • Anything touching checkout, payments or customer data
  • Custom features, integrations, or code changes to a theme or plugin
  • A migration, a host change, or a URL structure change
Rule of thumb

If two or more of the right-hand items apply to you right now, talk to us before you experiment on the live site.

Buyer’s checklist

How to choose a WordPress development company

Five checks that separate a safe pick from an expensive lesson. Use them on us, and on everyone else you are considering.

01

Staging process

Ask where changes are tested. Directly on your live site is the wrong answer.

02

Communication

Ask who you talk to and how often. Silence between invoices is a warning sign.

03

Security practices

Ask about backups, restore tests and hardening, not just which plugin they install.

04

Verifiable proof

Ask for live URLs and measurable outcomes, not a folder of screenshots.

05

Clear pricing

Ask for scope and price in writing before work starts. Vagueness gets expensive.

Our answer

Staging first, a named contact, restore-tested backups, live examples on request, and a written fixed scope before we begin.

We look at the actual site, then send a written scope and a fixed price.

3

We build on staging

Work happens on a copy, reviewed with you before anything goes live.

4

Launch and report

We push it live, verify it, and send a plain-language summary of what changed.

Typical timelines: fixes in 24 to 72 hours, speed and security work in about a week, full builds in 3 to 6 weeks, depending on scope and content readiness.

Common questions

WordPress questions, answered straight

Still unsure which service you need? and we will tell you the fix, even if the fix is something you can do yourself.

It depends on scope: the number of unique templates, custom features, design starting point, content readiness and timeline. We price per project after looking at your actual requirements, and the scope and price are agreed in writing before work starts. See how much WordPress development costs for the full breakdown of what moves the number.

Most business websites take three to six weeks from approved scope to launch. Small fixes are usually done in 24 to 72 hours. The biggest variable is content: if copy and images are ready, the build moves at full speed.

We do not resell hosting. We recommend a host that suits your traffic and budget, set it up correctly, and manage it as part of a care plan, but the account stays in your name so you are never locked in.

Yes. Most of our work is on sites someone else built. We start with a short audit so we understand what is there, then work on a staging copy so nothing on your live site is at risk.

Yes. We take over undocumented sites regularly. As long as you have hosting and WordPress admin access, we can map what exists, document it, and pick up from there.

Always. Every change is built and tested on a staging copy of your site. It only reaches your live site once it works and you have seen it.

You do, completely. Code, content, hosting, domain and all third-party accounts stay in your name. If you ever move to another developer, everything goes with you.

New builds are designed to pass on mobile as well as desktop. For existing sites we audit first and tell you honestly what is achievable. Some limits come from the host or a heavy theme, and we will say so before you pay for optimization.

Yes: staging-tested updates, restore-tested backups, uptime and security monitoring, small edits and a monthly plain-language report. It is optional and month to month, and you can compare the options on our care plans page.

Yes. We work with businesses in the US and worldwide, across time zones, with scheduled calls and written updates so nothing depends on catching each other live.

No contract. No risk.

Month to month WordPress support and development
