How much does a custom WordPress website cost?

Most of my WordPress projects fall between $1,500 and $5,000, depending on the number of pages, complexity of features, and whether additional services like SEO, content writing, or ecommerce functionality are needed. Simple business websites with five to ten pages land on the lower end. Complex sites with custom post types, WooCommerce, membership features, or multi-location pages are on the higher end. I provide a detailed custom quote after our discovery call — no surprises and no hidden fees.

Can you redesign my existing WordPress site?

Yes. I frequently redesign existing WordPress websites — improving the visual design, mobile responsiveness, page speed, and SEO while carefully preserving your existing content and Google rankings through proper redirects and URL management.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?

I use the tool that best serves the project. For maximum performance, I prefer lightweight approaches — custom themes built on frameworks like GeneratePress or Blocksy, or the native WordPress block editor. For clients who want visual drag-and-drop editing, I can use Elementor, but I always prioritize page speed and clean code.

Will I be able to edit my own website after it's built?

Absolutely. I set up an organized, intuitive WordPress admin dashboard and create a walkthrough video showing you exactly how to update text, images, pages, and blog posts.

Is WordPress still a good choice in 2026?

WordPress remains the most popular content management system in the world, powering over 40 percent of all websites. Its ecosystem of themes, plugins, and developer support is unmatched. For small businesses, service providers, and content-driven websites, WordPress continues to be an excellent choice — especially when built by a developer who prioritizes performance and SEO.

Do you build ecommerce stores on WordPress?

Yes. I build WooCommerce stores on WordPress for clients who need ecommerce functionality combined with a full content management system. However, for businesses where ecommerce is the primary focus, I often recommend Shopify for its superior checkout experience and lower maintenance overhead.

Do you provide WordPress maintenance and support after launch?

Yes. I offer monthly WordPress maintenance plans that include software updates, security monitoring, regular backups, uptime monitoring, performance optimization, and content updates. Keeping your WordPress site maintained is critical for security and performance — unmaintained WordPress sites are the number one target for hackers.

What You Get

Custom Design Tailored to Your Business

I don't install a pre-made theme, swap out the logo, and hand you the keys. Every WordPress website I build starts with a custom design in Figma — tailored to your brand identity, your industry, and your target audience. Your website will look and feel uniquely yours, not like a template that ten thousand other businesses are also using.

SEO Architecture Built Into the Foundation

Your WordPress site is built to rank from the ground up. I optimize URL structure, heading hierarchy, internal linking, page speed, image compression, schema markup, meta tags, and content structure before the site ever goes live. Many of my clients have achieved first-page Google rankings for competitive local and industry keywords within months of launching their new WordPress site.

Lightning-Fast Load Times

Page speed is both a Google ranking factor and a conversion factor — a one-second delay in load time can reduce conversions by seven percent. I build every WordPress site for speed: lightweight themes, optimized and lazy-loaded images, efficient caching, minified CSS and JavaScript, and clean database queries. Target: under two seconds load time.

Mobile-First Responsive Design

Over 60 percent of all web traffic now comes from mobile devices. I design every WordPress site mobile-first — meaning the mobile experience is crafted first, then scaled up for tablet and desktop. Your site will look and function perfectly on every screen size, every browser, and every device.

Easy Content Management

You should be able to update your own website without calling a developer every time you need to change a paragraph. I build intuitive WordPress admin interfaces with logically organized content areas, custom post types when needed, and clear documentation. I also record a walkthrough video after launch showing you exactly how to manage your content.

Ongoing WordPress Maintenance

After launch, I offer monthly WordPress maintenance plans that include core, theme, and plugin updates, security monitoring and malware scanning, regular backups, uptime monitoring, performance optimization, and content updates. Your site stays secure, fast, and current.
