WordPress Development

Custom themes, plugin work, WooCommerce, migrations, and rescues — for WordPress sites that exist but need to work better.

What It Is

For sites that need a developer, not a rebuild

Maybe your site is slow. Maybe a plugin update broke something and nobody can tell you why. Maybe you're stuck on a bad host, or the person who built it disappeared. WordPress development is the fix-it, upgrade-it, move-it service — real development work on the WordPress platform, at a plain hourly rate.

That covers custom theme work (no bloated page builders), plugin selection and configuration, WooCommerce stores, host-to-host migrations, speed optimization, and security hardening — including cleanup after a hack.

And if what you actually need is a new site, we'll say so — that's the web design service, and we'd rather point you at the right door than bill hours on the wrong one.

How It Works

Our process

STEP 01

Audit

We look under the hood and tell you plainly what's wrong, what's fine, and what it'll take to fix.

STEP 02

Plan

Fixed scope, fixed price — or a straight hourly estimate for open-ended work. Agreed before we touch anything.

STEP 03

Build & test

Work happens on a staging copy, not your live site. Nothing ships until it's tested.

STEP 04

Handoff

You get a plain-English summary of what changed, plus recommendations for keeping it healthy.

Development from $75/hr · full builds from $3,000

Small jobs run $75–$125/hr; senior or specialized work $125–$200/hr. E-commerce setup adds $1,500 to a build. All of it is on the pricing page.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can you fix a site someone else built?

Yes — that's most of this work, honestly. Slow page-builder sites, half-finished projects, plugin conflicts, mystery errors. We start with an audit so you know what's wrong and what it costs to fix before committing to anything.

My site was hacked. Can you clean it up?

Yes. We clean the infection, close the hole it came through, harden the site, and set up monitoring so it doesn't happen again. If it's urgent, say so when you reach out and we'll treat it that way.

Will my site go down during a migration?

No — we build and test the migrated site in parallel, then switch DNS over when it's verified working. Worst case is a few minutes of propagation, not days of downtime.

My site uses Elementor / Divi. Is that a problem?

Not a problem — we work with what you have. That said, page builders are often the reason a site is slow, so if speed is why you called, we may recommend rebuilding key pages natively. We'll show you the numbers and let you decide.

Do I need WooCommerce, or something like Shopify?

Depends on your catalog and how you like to work. WooCommerce keeps everything in your WordPress site and has no monthly platform fee; Shopify is simpler but rented. We'll give you an honest read for your situation — we set up WooCommerce, and we'll tell you if Shopify is truthfully the better fit.
