Twelve WordPress development services I ship every month

Jump to the service that matches what you need — each card has scope, what is included, and a way to brief me directly.

Custom WordPress Theme Development

Hand-coded themes built from a Figma file, a screenshot, or just a rough brief — no Elementor / Divi / Bricks. Either a block-based theme (FSE / Gutenberg-native) or a classic theme, depending on how your team edits content.

  • Block-based (FSE) or classic theme — your call
  • ACF / CMB2 powered page builders for editors
  • Custom Gutenberg blocks (React + JSX) when needed
  • Reusable component library matched to your design system
  • Mobile-first, Core Web Vitals green at launch
  • Fully accessible — WCAG AA, keyboard, screen-reader tested
  • Editor onboarding doc included so your team can publish day one

WooCommerce Store Development

Production WooCommerce stores — variable products, subscriptions, multi-currency, B2B pricing, shipping rules, gateway hookups and inventory imports. Built so they survive a Black Friday spike.

  • Variable, grouped, bundled, subscription and digital products
  • Multi-currency + multi-region with geo-aware pricing
  • Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, COD, regional gateways
  • Shipping zones, rate calculators, label printing
  • Wholesale / B2B portals with role-based pricing
  • CSV / API product imports + bulk stock sync
  • Server-side checkout tuning — sub-2s pageviews under load

  • Custom Post Types + taxonomies with admin UX polished
  • ACF / CMB2 field libraries you can hand off
  • REST API endpoints for headless and mobile consumers
  • WP-CLI commands for ops + scheduled cron jobs

  • Audit + benchmark — current vs after, on real devices

  • HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM sync
  • Mailchimp, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, Brevo lists & events
  • Stripe / PayPal / regional gateway custom flows

  • Meta + schema parity check — no SEO regressions
  • Customer / order / product migration for commerce moves

High-intent Landing Page Design

Quote-driven landing pages for service businesses, paid-ad campaigns and lead funnels — built to rank organically and convert ad traffic, with copy structured around your offer, not generic boilerplate.

  • Above-the-fold value prop + primary CTA always visible
  • Trust strip: clients, ratings, certifications, guarantees
  • Mobile-first form design with progressive fields
  • FAQ schema for rich-result eligibility
  • Local-SEO patterns for trades and service businesses
  • GA4 + GTM + conversion-pixel events wired correctly

Multilingual & Multi-region Sites

Launch in 2–10 languages with WPML or Polylang — clean hreflang, translated URLs, separate sitemaps per locale, and an editor workflow your translators will actually use.

  • WPML / Polylang setup with String + Media translation
  • Per-locale URL structures (subdir or subdomain)
  • Hreflang generation + Search Console submission
  • RTL-ready CSS for Arabic, Hebrew, Urdu
  • Geo-aware redirects (or banner only — your choice)

Membership & Subscription Sites

Paid content, courses, community forums, member-only resources — built on WooCommerce Memberships, Paid Memberships Pro, or LearnDash / TutorLMS, with your branding and your conversion funnel.

  • Tiered access + drip-fed content scheduling
  • Stripe / PayPal recurring billing with dunning
  • Course builder + quiz + certificate workflows
  • BuddyPress / bbPress community add-on if you need forums
  • Per-tier email automation hooks (Mailchimp, ConvertKit)
  • Member dashboard tailored to your brand, not the default
Brief me on a membership site

Headless / Decoupled WordPress

Use WordPress as a content backend and ship a Next.js, Astro, or Nuxt frontend on Vercel or Cloudflare Pages — best of both worlds when your team wants editor UX without sacrificing front-end performance.

  • Next.js (app router) or Astro frontend
  • WPGraphQL or REST API on the backend, ISR / SSG hybrid
  • Preview mode wired so editors see drafts pre-publish
  • Image optimization via next/image + CDN
  • Sitemap + RSS generated on the frontend, not WP
  • Cache invalidation tied to WP save_post hooks
Quote a headless build

Maintenance, Security & Care Plans

Ongoing care for sites I built or sites you inherited — core, plugin, theme updates tested on staging first, daily off-site backups, uptime monitoring, security hardening, and a real human on WhatsApp when something breaks.

  • Tested updates on staging, never blind production pushes
  • Daily off-site backups with one-click restore
  • Uptime + SSL + DNS monitoring (1-minute interval)
  • Wordfence / Sucuri / iThemes hardening + monthly scan
  • 2FA, application passwords, WAF rules, brute-force lockout
  • Small monthly change-request bucket included
See care-plan options

  • Theme + plugin inventory with bloat / risk flags
  • Database health + autoload + slow-query analysis
  • Page-speed audit with PSI + real-device timings

How we work

WordPress development process — brief Monday, staging Friday

A four-step process designed for solo-dev velocity. Scope surfaces in week one. You see real progress weekly on a staging URL. No kickoff meetings about kickoff meetings.

  1. 01

    Brainstorm & brief

    You send what you need — references, goals, hosting, deadline. I reply within 24h with questions, not a generic templated quote. We agree the brief in writing.

  2. 02

    Scoped quote & plan

    Fixed price, fixed timeline, deliverables in writing. Tech stack agreed, hosting confirmed, migrations scoped. 50% to start, 50% on launch.

  3. 03

    Build, review, iterate

    Weekly progress on a staging URL. Two rounds of feedback per milestone are baked in. Direct WhatsApp / Slack — no ticketing system to file feedback into.

  4. 04

    Launch, support, hand over

    DNS cutover, SSL, GA4, Search Console, sitemap submission. 30 days post-launch support included. Clean repo + editor doc handed over so your team owns it.

Why work with me

Senior dev, agency-grade work — without the agency price tag

Agencies

Big invoice, layers of overhead

Working with me

Senior dev, zero overhead

  • Honest timelines, fixed quotes, no scope creep
  • Production-grade code — zero page-builder bloat
Cheap freelancers

Low rate, high risk

  • Junior skill — patchy code, brittle launches

  • Goes quiet the day after the site goes live

FAQ

WordPress development — common questions

How much does a WordPress website cost?

Fixed quotes typically land between $1.2k and $6k for a brochure / marketing site, $4k–$15k for WooCommerce or custom-plugin work, and $10k–$30k for multilingual or headless builds. Every quote is fixed-price — no hourly drift, no scope creep, no surprises on the final invoice.

How long does a WordPress project take?

A small marketing site is 2–3 weeks from kickoff to launch. WooCommerce stores and custom plugin work run 4–8 weeks. Migrations and multilingual builds run 6–10 weeks. Tight launches can be re-shuffled — just tell me the deadline up front.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?

No. I build custom themes or block-based themes with native Gutenberg + ACF. Page builders are easy to start with but hard to maintain, slow on Core Web Vitals, and expensive to refactor — exactly the kind of work clients hire me to clean up.

Will my site be fast out of the box?

Yes. Every site I build ships with green Core Web Vitals (LCP under 2.0s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1) measured on mobile. That includes image pipeline, caching, CDN, deferred scripts, and a database optimised for autoload size.

Can you migrate me from Wix / Squarespace / Webflow / Shopify?

Yes. Migrations include URL mapping, 301 redirects, schema / meta parity, and a post-launch crawl to catch 404s. Most migrations keep or improve organic traffic after re-indexing. I also handle product + customer migrations for commerce moves.

Do you offer post-launch maintenance?

30 days of post-launch support is free on every build. After that, optional care plans cover updates, backups, security, uptime monitoring and a small monthly change-request bucket. Or hand the codebase off cleanly to your team — fully documented.

Do you work with agencies or just direct clients?

Both. About a third of my work is white-label for agencies — NDAs are fine, and I happily ship under your brand and process. Direct clients get more strategy input, agencies get a senior dev who slots into their existing pipeline.

Do I own the code and the site?

Always. You own everything — theme, plugins, database, hosting account. I write code your next developer can read and hand over a documented repo on launch. Zero lock-in tricks, no licensed obscure plugin chains.
