WordPress Development

WordPress is still the right choice for most small businesses — when it's built right. I do custom Gutenberg blocks, WooCommerce setups, and editor-friendly CMS structures so your client (or you) can update the site without calling me every week. Built one for The Shape Interiors. Happy to build one for you.

Custom WordPress websites built to be managed, not fought with

WordPress powers a huge share of the web because it's flexible — but that flexibility can turn into a slow, plugin-bloated mess without someone who knows how to build it properly. I develop custom WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores that load fast, are easy for a non-technical client to update, and don't fall apart the first time a plugin gets updated.

What's included

  • Clean, custom builds — built in the block editor or Elementor without a bloated pre-made theme, so pages load faster and match your design exactly
  • Editor-friendly layouts — Gutenberg blocks or Elementor templates set up so you can update content without breaking the design
  • WooCommerce setup — product catalogs, payment gateways, shipping rules, and checkout customization for stores that need to actually sell
  • Performance and SEO — clean markup, image optimization, caching, and Core Web Vitals tuned for search ranking
  • Editor-friendly CMS structure — custom fields and templates organized so your team can add pages and posts without calling a developer every time

Who this is for

Small businesses and founders who need a WordPress site that looks custom (not templated), loads fast, and can be maintained by someone on their team after handoff — plus store owners who want a WooCommerce setup that's actually reliable at checkout.

What it costs

Starter from $150 (up to 5 pages, basic SEO), Business from $300 (up to 10 pages, advanced SEO, blog setup), or Premium from $600 if the site also needs a WooCommerce shop.

How a project works

  1. 01

    Brief

    You tell me what the site needs to do, any sites you like, and your budget and deadline. I reply within two business days.

  2. 02

    Scope and quote

    We agree the pages, features and package, and you get a fixed price and delivery date in writing before work starts.

  3. 03

    Build and review

    I build on a staging link so you can see progress and request changes as it comes together.

  4. 04

    Launch and handover

    The site goes live on your domain and hosting, and you get the logins and a walkthrough so you can manage it yourself.

Frequently asked questions

01What's included in WordPress development?
Custom builds in the block editor or Elementor, without bloated pre-made themes or plugin overload — fast, SEO-ready sites you can actually manage yourself afterward.
02How long does a WordPress project take?
A 5-page Starter site takes 3 to 5 days; a 10-page Business site takes 7 to 10 days.
03Will I be able to update the site myself after launch?
Yes — that's a deliberate goal of how the site is built, not an afterthought.
04Can you migrate an existing WordPress site without downtime?
Yes, migrations are staged and tested before the DNS cutover so the live site doesn't go dark during the move.
05Do you work with existing WordPress sites, or only new builds?
Both. I take on redesigns, WooCommerce store builds, speed/performance fixes, and plugin/theme troubleshooting on existing sites, not just greenfield projects.
06Will I be able to edit the site myself after launch?
Yes — that's a core part of how these builds are structured. Custom blocks and clear content areas mean you're not stuck editing raw code to change a headline or swap a photo.
