What holds your WordPress site back

  • 01

    Slow pages, heavy theme

    A multipurpose theme loads scripts for features you never use. Visitors wait, and Google notices.

  • 02

    Page builder lock-in

    Every layout lives inside Elementor or Divi. Leaving the builder means rebuilding the site.

  • 03

    Plugin pile-up

    Each new need added one more plugin. Now updates break things and nobody knows which plugin does what.

  • 04

    Editors afraid to touch pages

    Your marketing team asks a developer to change a heading, because one wrong click breaks the layout.

  • 05

    Systems that do not talk

    Leads, orders and stock are copied by hand between WordPress, the CRM and the ERP.

  • 06

    No one owns the code

    The freelancer who built the site is gone. There are no docs, no staging site and no version control.

How We Work

How we work

The same five steps on every project, with a demo on staging every week.

  1. Discovery

    We map pages, integrations and editor needs, then fix scope and price. 1-2 weeks.

  2. Design

    Figma layouts and a block library planned for your content. 2-4 weeks.

  3. Build

    Theme, blocks, plugins and integrations, shown on staging every week. 4-12 weeks.

  4. QA and launch

    Our QA tests devices, forms, speed and SEO, then we go live in a planned low-traffic window.

  5. Support

    Updates, fixes and new features on a monthly plan, with the same team.
Step one is a 30-minute consultation. Book a call

FAQ

WordPress development FAQ

Short answers to what clients ask before the first call.

How much do custom WordPress development services cost?

Business sites start from $4,000, sites with custom logic and integrations from $10,000, and complex platforms from $25,000. You get a fixed quote within 2 business days after the discovery call.

Can my team edit the site without a developer?

Yes. We build custom Gutenberg blocks with fixed styles, so editors change text, images and sections without breaking the layout.

Do you work on existing WordPress sites?

Yes. We start with a code review, then fix, extend or rebuild parts of the site, depending on what makes sense for the budget.

Will we lose SEO rankings after a rebuild?

Not if the move is planned. We keep URLs or set 301 redirects, carry over metadata and check indexing after launch.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code sits in your Git repository and on your hosting, with documentation for any future developer.

Do you also build WooCommerce stores?

Yes, WooCommerce is our main focus. Many WordPress projects we take on include a store or add one later.
