Your Questions, Answered

Everything you need to know about our WordPress development process.

How much does a custom WordPress website cost?

Every WordPress project is different, so there’s no standard price for a custom WordPress build or redesign. We have built WordPress sites for as little as $1,200 and as much as $40,000, so the price range is wide. As a general starting point, simple website builds and redesigns typically start around $2,000, custom builds and redesigns start around $4,500, and ecommerce stores around $3,000. More complex projects with custom functionality or integrations will cost more, but we’ll scope your needs first and provide a clear, specific estimate before work begins.

Do you work with existing WordPress websites?

Yes. In fact, most of our WordPress website projects are redesigns of existing sites. We don't just give the site a cosmetic update. We also improve the site foundation, functionality, speed, SEO, user experience, and conversion strategies so the new site works better as well as looks better.

Can you redesign my site without hurting SEO?

Yes. Protecting your existing SEO is a delicate part of the redesign process and one in which our expertise gives us an advantage over many other agencies. Not only do we pay attention to the details during the redesign processs to ensure your continued or improved success in SEO, but we also test and monitor the site after launch to catch potential issues before they become problems.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance and support?

Yes. We offer ongoing WordPress maintenance and support plans that cover updates, backups, security, monitoring, and technical help. Whether you need only basic maintenance or high-level support from a team that knows your site, we have plans designed to keep your website secure, reliable, and running smoothly.

How long does a typical WordPress project take?

Most custom WordPress websites take about 4–12 weeks from planning through launch. Smaller projects may take as little as 2-4 weeks, while larger ecommerce sites or projects with extensive custom functionality can as long as 3-4 months. Once we fullyunderstand your needs and goals then define a scope, we’ll give you a clear timeline so you know what to expect before getting started.

Do you provide hosting recommendations?

Yes. We can recommend hosting based on your site requirements, traffic, performance needs, and budget. We don't have one preferred hosting provider, but we have a list of trusted partners that we trust for performance, security, and support. If you’re interested in moving to a new host, we can also handle or supervise the migration and make sure everything is working properly after the move.
