Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the complexity of the design and features such as online stores or bookings. After a short discovery chat, we'll give you a clear quote based on your requirements.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
A typical small business website takes around 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites and online stores take longer. The biggest factor is usually how quickly content and feedback are ready.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. WordPress makes it easy to edit text, images, blog posts and products. We'll show you how at launch, and we're on hand if you'd rather we make the changes for you.
Will my new website be SEO-friendly?
Yes. SEO is built in from the start, with clean site structure, fast load times, mobile-first design, schema markup, XML sitemaps and a properly configured SEO plugin. If you're replacing an existing site, we map redirects so you keep your rankings.
Do you offer website maintenance?
Yes. We can keep WordPress, your theme and your plugins up to date, run regular backups, and monitor security and uptime so your site stays fast and safe.
Can you fix or improve my existing WordPress site?
Yes. We can speed it up, fix errors, refresh the design or add new features. A technical website audit is a good starting point to find what needs attention.
Why choose WordPress over a website builder like Wix or Squarespace?
Website builders are quick to start with but limit how far you can customise, optimise and grow. WordPress gives you more control over design, SEO and performance, and you are not locked into one company's platform.
Let's build it on WordPress.
Tell us about your business and goals. We'll recommend the right approach, whether that's a new site, a redesign or improving what you already have.
