WordPress development.

WordPress development forms the main core of what I do day-in, day-out.

WordPress development forms the main core of what I do day-in, day-out. For me, WordPress development takes in far more than sitting in front of code; a well developed WordPress site should be a pleasure to use, intuitive and quick.
As I am originally a creative designer, I bring this thinking to all the WordPress sites I develop. I develop WordPress sites for two types of users – you, the site owner and your visitors. Both sets of users need a site that is easy to use and navigate.
If it’s your site, you need to be able to update content quickly and don’t want to spend hours messing around with endless settings and configuration. You may have complex requirements for content, but this is where the creative side of WordPress comes into play – working out how best to build you a set of tools to manage your content.
A lot of developers don’t think like this – it’s purely seen as achieving the front-end requirement – many don’t focus on you as a user too.
Bespoke WordPress theme development.
It doesn’t matter how large your site is, I develop all my WordPress sites on my own theme.
This has been developed over the last five years and forms the base of all the sites I build.
Rather than off-the-shelf themes or other starter frameworks, this theme is absolute bare-bones. It contains the absolute minimum code required to form a working WordPress site.
This means it’s lightweight and completely flexible – I only add in the code required to accomplish what you need – there’s nothing in there that’s reliant on 1000s of lines of JavaScript or CSS.
Every site I work on is built to order from the ground up so you get a site that does exactly what you need it to do.
There’s also no need for you to know anything at all about HTML or styling content. You just focus on adding your content and the theme does the rest.
Anyone who has managed a WordPress site knows that over-developed WordPress sites can be incredibly frustrating to use and manage – some developers create hugely over-complicated or counterintuitive processes to get even the simplest content into place.
When I am done, it’s all yours.
As WordPress is open-source, I work within the same ethos.
WordPress is free, so I don’t own it.
When you’ve paid my invoices, the website is 100% yours – I retain no ownership of the code and I don’t build in stuff that’s going to force you to give me a call and ask for help.
The WordPress sites I develop are fully editable.
This includes things over-and-above the text content such as menus, templates, logos, header and footer content, galleries and so on.
Even the code editor is left open, so, if you should want to dabble, you can do that.
I also keep my code easily understandable for other developers. Should you want someone else to take over the site or work on it for you, everything in there is easy to pick up and run with.
Frequently Asked Questions
Each website project is different based on your business goals and the extent of your website functionality, so the price for each website reflects those differences.
It’s important to also note that all websites I build include brand messaging development, help with writing your website copy, mobile responsive design, foundational SEO, and more.
There is a lot of time, strategy, and added value intentionally incorporated into your project to ensure you get the most out of your website and your time working with me. It’s important to me to deliver a great customer experience and a highly valuable product that delivers an excellent return on investment.
So when thinking of the price, those are good things to keep in mind as well.
If you’re interested in starting a project send me an email here to get the conversation started and I’ll send you a personalized quote for your project.
For basic projects, there is a 50% investment upfront and 50% once the project is completed, right before everything is handed back over to you.
For larger projects, payments are divided into 3 equal payments, the first payment is to be paid upfront to start the project, the second is to be paid after the initial design (header, homepage, and footer of the site) is delivered and approved by you, and the third and final payment is to be paid at the end of the project, after your website is complete and right before it goes live.
You can pay via credit or debit card as well as direct bank account debit (ACH).
Yes. You will receive personalized training on how to update and edit your site if that’s what you want. I also offer my website maintenance plan where I take care of all the backend updates and website security as well as any quick updates or fixes you need. So you don’t have to be bothered with website updates and fixes if you don’t want to.
Once all logins, images, website content, and necessary information are received from the client, projects are generally completed within a 30-90 day period (60 days is most common for basic, 5-10 page websites). Length may vary depending on project size and functionality, along with my current schedule and your responsiveness in getting me the content and approvals I need to move forward.
Yes. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to purchase your website’s foundational tools. And if you have already, you’ll need to be sure you’re using the best tools for performance, optimization, security, etc. I will walk you through selecting and purchasing everything you need including the following…
Foundational Website Tools (necessary):
- Domain Name – my recommendation is Dreamhost & Siteground at $25 per year , (with a discounted price of $20 to initially register
- Website Hosting – my recommendation is Siteground & Dreamhost starting at $19.99 per month or $179.88 per year (with a discounted price of $150 for your first year when you initially sign up)
Additional Foundational Tools (highly recommended): - Business/Domain Email Address – my recommendation is Google Workspace (Formerly G Suite) starting at $6 per month (so your business email can be info@yourdomain.com).
- Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions – my recommendation is Termageddon at $12/month or $119/year (if you choose the yearly option, you’ll receive a 10% discount on your first year when you use my affiliate link/code)
Any other additional resources or tools for specific customizations can be discussed based on your needs.
All of my sites are built with WordPress, the most popular website content management platform on the internet. I exclusively use the Divi & Elementor (which I give you a free license to when you work with me). This combination allows me the power and flexibility to create custom, user-friendly sites for all of my clients that serve their businesses now and well into the future.
