WordPress website development
WordPress website development for business: corporate websites, WooCommerce online stores, product catalogs, B2B portals, blogs, promo websites, brochure websites and landing pages. We have been building quality WordPress websites since 2015. We provide technical support after launch if you need it.
WordPress websites we build
01
Why WordPress
WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world. The platform is free, so your budget goes into website development rather than a license. Many developers work with WordPress, which makes it easier to find a contractor for support and custom development. As your business grows, the website grows with it on the same platform: you can add new sections, language versions, an online store, integrations and other functionality.

WordPress websites we build
Corporate websites
A corporate website is a company's official website that introduces partners, clients, job seekers and investors to its business, products and services, history and values. The main difference from a brochure website is a separate section for each line of business.

WooCommerce online stores
An online store is a website for selling products and services remotely: the customer finds the right items in the catalog, places an order and chooses the delivery and payment method.
Learn more: “ecommerce website development”.
B2B portals
A B2B portal is a website where a manufacturer or distributor sells products wholesale to other companies and automates the whole process, from taking orders to documents and payments. Each buyer works in their own personal account with customer-specific prices and contract terms.

Product catalogs
A catalog website is a website where a company shows its products, services or information about itself in a structured way. Unlike an online store, it has no full shopping cart or online payment: customers order by sending a request.
Landing pages
A landing page is a one-page website that visitors usually reach from an ad. Its structure and copy lead the visitor to a single target action: a purchase, a request, a registration or a subscription.
Brochure websites
A brochure website is a small website, usually a few pages long, that introduces visitors to a company, a specialist or a product: it describes the business and services and shows completed work and contact details.
Blogs
A blog is a website or a section of a website where a company or an author regularly publishes posts on topics in their field: articles, news, photos and videos.
Promo websites
A promo website is an advertising website that promotes a single product, service, brand, event or promotion: it describes the offer and leads the visitor to a purchase, registration or participation.
03
WordPress websites without templates
Many WordPress websites are assembled from a ready-made theme and a large number of plugins. Such a theme is designed for all kinds of websites. As a result, it contains a lot of code that a specific project does not need and that slows down loading. Pages built in a visual page builder are tied to it: you can only stop using the builder by rebuilding those pages.
We install plugins only where a ready-made solution is more reliable and less expensive than our own code. We set up the admin panel around the website content: each page block has its own fields for text, photos and links. The fields separate content from design, so editing text and photos does not affect the layout.
New sections are added without editing someone else's code. Custom WordPress development takes longer than installing a theme, but later changes cost less.
04
WordPress online store
To build an online store on WordPress, we use WooCommerce. It already includes a catalog with search and filters, a shopping cart, checkout, a personal account, discounts and coupons. If needed, we connect online payment, delivery services, a CRM, data exchange with the accounting system, analytics systems and other services. We use plugins where they are more reliable and less expensive and write our own code otherwise.
Orders with customer data go to the accounting system, and order statuses come back to the store. Learn more about store development: “ecommerce website development”.
05
What else we do on WordPress
Besides development from scratch, we:
- extend WordPress websites built by other contractors: we change the structure, design and functionality and connect integrations. Before starting work, we review the website code and plugins
- speed up slow websites: we find and fix the causes of slow loading in the code, plugins and server settings and confirm the result with measurements before and after the work
- handle technical SEO based on an SEO audit or our own website review. We fix duplicate pages, broken links, redirect, indexing and markup errors and incorrect display on smartphones and tablets
- migrate websites to WordPress from Bitrix and other platforms along with their content and data. We keep page URLs, and where they change, we set up redirects
- add language versions, private sections and personal accounts for customers, partners and employees to existing websites
06
WordPress website security
During development, we carry out work to improve website security, which reduces the risk of hacking: we limit login attempts to the admin panel, configure user permissions, enable spam protection for forms and launch the website on current versions of WordPress and plugins.

What WordPress development includes
Our WordPress development services include:
Analysis and technical specification — we review the project tasks and how your current website works, if you have one. We describe the structure, functionality, integrations and cost by stage. We move on to development once the document is approved
Prototypes and design — first we create prototypes of the main pages, that is, wireframes with the block order, navigation and the visitor's path to the target action. Once you approve them, we create a design concept for the key pages. After it is approved, we use it to build a single set of interface elements (a UI kit) and design the remaining pages with responsive versions
Front-end layout and programming — we write custom code without ready-made templates or page builders and implement the functionality according to the technical specification. We develop on a staging domain, and we will give you access to it
WordPress admin panel — we carry out the basic CMS setup and set up management of all website content: pages, sections, menus and other content types. We set access rights by user role
Integrations — if needed, we connect a CRM, the accounting system, payment services, delivery services and analytics. Where a ready-made plugin is more reliable and less expensive, we use it, and in other cases we write our own code
Content upload — we publish the texts and images you provide and, if there is a store, load products into WooCommerce. If the new website replaces an old one, we move the content and data from it
Technical SEO groundwork — during development, we set up page URLs, indexing rules and structured data for search engines and optimize load speed. We add an llms.txt file and allow the ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and other AI crawlers to access the website
Testing — we check the website against the technical specification and test forms, integrations, performance and display on different screens and browsers. We fix any errors we find before moving the website to the production server
Launch — we deploy the approved website to the production server (yours or ours) and open it for indexing. If the new website replaces the previous one, we redirect the old URLs to the new ones. We hand over all access credentials to you. 30-day warranty: during this period, we fix any deviations from the technical specification free of charge, and we estimate custom development separately
Copywriting and ongoing SEO are not part of development.
Discuss a task08
How much a WordPress website costs
The cost of a WordPress website depends on the scope of work, that is, on the time we spend on it. The main factor is the number of template pages. For example, the home page, a service page, an article and contacts are four template pages. Twenty service pages with the same structure are one template page. The number of pages of the same type affects the price much less.
The cost also depends on:
- design
- custom functionality
- integrations
- number of languages
- moving content and data from the old website
- an online store and its functionality
If the project uses paid plugins, we list them in the estimate as a separate line. We give a preliminary estimate after the brief and set the exact cost in the technical specification.

WordPress development FAQ
01Why WordPress and not an online website builder?
A WordPress website can be moved to any hosting, while a website on a builder runs only on that builder's platform. You can add functionality and integrations without the plan limits and subscription fees of a builder.
02Can a WordPress website be optimized for search?
Yes. We lay the technical SEO groundwork during development. Page titles and descriptions for search results are edited in the admin panel, but writing them and ongoing SEO are not part of development.
03Who owns the WordPress website and the access credentials after development?
You. Wherever the website runs, on your server or on ours, you get all access credentials. After development, we also give you a backup of the website.
04How long will development take?
The timeline depends on the scope of tasks and on how quickly you approve the stages and prepare texts and images. We give the timeline for the part that depends on us together with the cost estimate.
