End-to-end WordPress services — from custom themes and plugins to WooCommerce builds, migrations from other CMS, security hardening, Core Web Vitals optimization and ongoing maintenance. Pick the engagement that fits the stage you're in.
We work with WordPress as a serious application platform — not a website builder. Most of the projects below are full custom builds: bespoke Gutenberg blocks, ACF-driven editorial UX, headless and hybrid setups, WooCommerce stores with custom payment and shipping integrations, and ground-up plugin development for clients who outgrew a marketplace plugin.
Each card represents a separate service line with its own scope, pricing model and typical timeline. Use the filters to narrow by site type (blog, ecommerce, SaaS marketing site, media outlet) or by intent — fresh build, redesign, migration, audit, or ongoing support. If you don't see exactly what you need, the "Custom development brief" form at the bottom routes straight to a senior engineer for scoping.
A note on stack: we ship on PHP 8.2+, MariaDB / MySQL 8, run staging on git-deployed environments, and we don't touch nulled themes or page-builder soup. Every site we ship is something a future developer will be able to read.
Custom WordPress plugin development at three brackets: $1,500-3,500 small, $4,000-9,000 medium, $10,000+ full module. Build vs buy advice, real stack, tested code, your repo.
Fixed-price WordPress migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, Drupal, Joomla, and other WordPress hosts. Three brackets: $800-1,800, $2,000-5,000, $4,500-12,000. Real timelines.
Custom WordPress builds at three honest price brackets — brochure ($3,500-7,000), custom ($9,000-20,000), enterprise ($25,000+). Sage 10, real timelines, no page builders.
Monthly care plans for WordPress sites — security, updates, backups, and on-call developer support.
How we usually work
First call is free and scoped — 30 minutes to figure out whether you need a fresh WordPress build, a migration, a one-off custom plugin, or just an audit. We send back a brief with a fixed-scope quote within 2–3 business days, and we don't ghostwrite proposals — the engineer who scopes the work is the one who'll deliver it.
Custom WordPress development vs. ready-made themes
For brochure sites and small blogs, a vetted theme plus 5–10 hours of customization is the right answer, and we'll tell you so. We pitch full custom builds when the project genuinely needs it: editorial workflows that don't fit any theme, complex content models with ACF Relationships, schema.org-driven SEO, multilingual setups (Polylang/WPML), or WooCommerce with non-trivial business logic. If you don't need full custom, see our ready WordPress solutions — fixed-price packages from $1,500 with launch in 7–21 days. The decision tree is in the FAQ below.
Migrating from another CMS to WordPress
We've migrated production sites from Drupal, Joomla, Shopify, Bitrix and bespoke PHP — preserving URL structures (so SEO doesn't bleed), redirecting legacy paths, and reshaping content models so the new editor experience is actually nicer than the old one. Migration is one of the few engagements we offer with a strict pre-flight checklist; ask for it before you compare quotes.
Maintenance, security & performance
Once your site is live, the work changes shape — patching, monitoring, Core Web Vitals tuning, malware scans, off-site backups, and a quarterly health report. Our maintenance plans are flat-fee with hour banks and a 4-hour SLA on critical issues. No agency-grade lock-in: you own the code, the hosting, and every credential from day one.
Want the full cross-CMS view? Compare engagement scope and pricing on our development services page, which covers the same WordPress work side-by-side with OpenCart, Drupal, and Magento.
For sites that are live and underperforming, our CMS speed optimization service starts with three measurements (Lighthouse field data, slow-query log, real-device render trace) before any plugin gets touched. Same approach across WordPress, Magento, OpenCart, and Drupal.
Building serious ecommerce on a different platform? See our Magento development services for B2B, multi-store and Adobe Commerce work.
Not WordPress? We also offer Drupal development services for structured, high-security sites and OpenCart development services for lean ecommerce stores. Compare all four platforms on the services overview.
A small business site (5–10 pages, custom theme, no commerce) typically lands at $4,500–$9,000. A WooCommerce store with custom fields, integrations and editorial UX is $12,000–$30,000. Plugin development from scratch starts at $3,500. After the first call we send a fixed-scope quote — you don't pay hourly into a black box.
Brochure site with a custom theme: 3–5 weeks. Custom WooCommerce store: 6–10 weeks. Plugin development: 2–4 weeks per scope. Migration from another CMS: 2–6 weeks depending on URL structure complexity. We give you a real Gantt chart, not vibes.
Pick a vetted theme when your needs match a theme's intended use case (blog, portfolio, simple shop) and you don't need editorial workflows beyond what the theme ships. Go custom when you have non-trivial content models, schema.org-driven SEO, multilingual content with custom routing, or business logic in WooCommerce that the theme doesn't natively support. We're happy to recommend a theme and walk away if that's the honest answer.
Yes — when configured properly. The headlines about WordPress hacks are nearly always about abandoned plugins, weak admin passwords, or shared hosting with no isolation. Every site we ship has 2FA, hardened admin, file-permission audits, off-server backups, malware scanning, and quarterly dependency updates. WordPress powers ~43% of the web; the platform itself is fine — neglect is the problem.
Core, theme and plugin updates with regression testing on staging; daily off-site backups; uptime and performance monitoring; security scans; Core Web Vitals tuning; quarterly SEO and analytics health-check; a 4-hour SLA on critical issues; and an hour bank for editorial requests so you're not nickel-and-dimed for small fixes. Plans are flat-fee, monthly.
Yes — that's one of our most-requested engagements. We preserve URL structure (or 301-redirect the legacy paths so search rankings don't bleed), reshape content models into native WordPress + ACF, port custom logic, and rebuild the editor experience to be nicer than what you're leaving. We run the migration on a staging clone first so you can verify content, redirects and SEO before flipping DNS.
Yes — most of our plugin work is for clients who outgrew a marketplace plugin and need either a fork, a private extension, or a clean-room replacement. We follow the official Plugin API, ship with PHPUnit tests, and deliver code your future developer can actually maintain. We don't build plugins we wouldn't be willing to put on the WordPress.org repository.
If we plan it properly — yes. Pre-launch we audit current rankings, map every URL to a destination, set up 301 redirects, validate schema.org, run Core Web Vitals against the new build, and submit a fresh sitemap on launch day. Post-launch we monitor Search Console for 30 days and chase any anomalies. Ranking dips of 5–10 days are normal during recrawl; permanent loss is a planning failure, not an inevitability.
We don't resell hosting — we'd rather you own the relationship with your host and pay them directly. We do recommend hosts based on your stack (Kinsta and WP Engine for managed WordPress, Hetzner / DigitalOcean if you want a VPS, Cloudways for the middle ground), set up DNS, configure transactional email (SES/Postmark/Mailgun), and document everything in a runbook you keep.
We offer standalone audits — SEO, security, performance, or full-stack code review — as a fixed-scope engagement starting at $750. You get a written report with prioritized findings, the runbook to fix each one, and a 30-minute walk-through call. No upsell pressure: if the audit says "you're fine, leave it alone", that's the deliverable.
30 minutes with a senior engineer. No salespeople. We respond within one business day with a brief outline.
