WordPress development

Update your website yourself

WordPress gives you an admin panel to manage your content without calling a developer every time you need to change something. Add pages, edit text, upload images, publish blog posts. All through a user-friendly interface you’ll learn in an afternoon.

What WordPress is

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that powers 43% of all websites worldwide. You get an admin dashboard where you can create pages, write posts, upload media, and manage your site without touching code.

Not WordPress.com – We build custom WordPress sites on your own hosting. You own everything. WordPress.com is a hosted platform with limitations. We don’t use that.

Best for

WordPress makes sense when you need to update content frequently:

Perfect for:
  • Company blogs and news sections
  • Service pages that change regularly
  • Team member profiles
  • Event calendars and announcements
  • Portfolio sites with new projects
  • Resource libraries and documentation
  • Sites managed by multiple people (user roles and permissions)
Not ideal for:
  • Simple 5-page sites that rarely change (static HTML is faster and cheaper)
  • Complex web applications (use React/Vue instead)
  • Sites where speed is the #1 priority (static sites load faster)

Key benefits

Update without developers
Log in, click “Edit Page”, make your changes, hit publish. No code, no waiting, no hourly fees.

Built-in blog platform
WordPress started as blogging software. The blog functionality is powerful, SEO-friendly, and easy to use.

User roles & permissions
Give your team access without giving them full control. Editors can publish, authors can write, admins can manage everything.

Plugin ecosystem
Need contact forms? SEO tools? Backup systems? Thousands of plugins extend WordPress functionality. We’ll install and configure what you need.

Familiar interface
If you can use Microsoft Word or Gmail, you can use WordPress. Most clients get comfortable within a day or two.

When to choose WordPress

Choose WordPress if:
  • You’ll update content weekly or monthly
  • You’re publishing blogs or news regularly
  • Multiple people need editing access
  • You want control without learning code
  • You need a proven, mature platform
Choose static HTML if:
  • Content rarely changes (once or twice a year)
  • Site is 5-10 pages max
  • Speed is critical priority
  • Budget is tight (static is cheaper)
Choose headless CMS if:
  • You want content management flexibility
  • You need to publish content to multiple channels (website, app, email)
  • You’re building a modern JAMstack architecture
Choose React/Vue if:
  • You need complex interactivity
  • You’re building an application, not a website
  • Real-time data updates are required

How WordPress development works

  1. Discovery (1-2 weeks) We map out your content structure, features, and workflows. What pages do you need? Who updates what? What functionality is essential?
  2. Design (2-3 weeks) Wireframes and visual design. You’ll see what the site looks like before we build it.
  3. Development (3-4 weeks) We build a custom WordPress theme. Not a template you bought online—custom code tailored to your brand and needs.
  4. Content Migration & Setup (1 week) If you have existing content, we migrate it. If you’re starting fresh, we set up the page structure and show you how to add content.
  5. Training (1 session) We walk you through the WordPress admin. How to add pages, write posts, upload images, manage users. You’ll be comfortable by the end.
  6. Launch Site goes live. 30-day warranty period begins.

Total timeline: 6-10 weeks depending on complexity

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about WordPress development, content management, and ongoing maintenance.

No. WordPress has a visual editor. You’ll use a WYSIWYG interface (What You See Is What You Get)—similar to Microsoft Word. Click where you want to type, format text with buttons, upload images by dragging and dropping. No code required.

WordPress.org is the open-source software. We install it on your own server. You own everything. Unlimited customization.

WordPress.com is a hosted platform (like Wix). Limited customization, monthly fees, you don’t own your site. We don’t use WordPress.com.

We build WordPress.org sites on your own hosting.

It’s very hard to break a properly-built WordPress site by editing content. We’ll set up user roles so you can edit pages and posts without accessing critical settings. Even if you accidentally delete something, we maintain regular backups.

WordPress releases updates every few months. Plugins update more frequently. Our maintenance package handles all updates, testing them before applying. You don’t touch this stuff—we do.

Your site stays as-is. It doesn’t disappear. But without updates, it becomes vulnerable to security issues over time. Plugins may break with PHP updates. Backups stop. You’ll pay more to fix problems later than you would’ve spent on preventive maintenance.

Yes. With proper hosting and caching, WordPress handles millions of page views per month. We optimize for performance and recommend managed WordPress hosting that scales with your traffic.
