To answer this question without more information is difficult. Our WordPress websites tend to fall between $6,000 and $50,000, depending on the specifications. Although we can and will work for less and have handled custom projects for more, the average cost for a custom-designed WordPress website is around $7,000 to $15,000.
Our current rates are $100/hour, and we have a few hard costs that go with most projects, such as themes, plugins, copywriting, and hosting. Every project is quoted individually, though.
Many factors determine the actual cost of a WordPress website and web design. However, it comes down to the following:
1) How much design time will be required for the WordPress design?
2) How big is the website?
3) How much functionality is needed?
4) Additional factors such as schedule and time needed to manage the project.
Most of the web design comes down to just labor costs; most of the estimating process can be handled by educated guesses relating to person-hours for each project phase.
To determine the price of your WordPress project, we just need 15 minutes discovery call with you to discuss the particulars, and we can come back with a full proposal, usually within a day or two. After that, you can try our pricing calculator to get a rough idea or contact us for a quote specific to your project.
A typical project for us starts as early as the initial sales meetings. We take in job requirements and strategize on the best ways to build your website together with our technical, superior understanding of scope, which allows super-accurate pricing.
Before we begin your project, we’d like to ask you a few questions. This will allow us to get a better idea of your goals and preferences for this project so that we can create the best possible finished product. You’ll also have a chance to give feedback on our design style if applicable!
At Connective, we work with you to design a home page for your website and provide instructions on how to give the written content for the entire website. Clients are always expected to give the content before we approve the design. This speeds up our workflow and ensures that any schedule is met.
Now, you will see your website come to life as we implement it on your small business hosting platform. We are also sending you an updated project schedule and asking for the remaining items needed to finish up your site.
We have a detailed quality assurance process to ensure your website is error-free before we launch! We squash all bugs, and everyone on our team is involved in ensuring the launch goes smoothly, and your experience is top-notch.
A website is a living and breathing marketing machine. Software needs to be updated regularly so that it runs smoothly and doesn’t get infected by viruses, which will hurt your business’s reputation. Security, speed, and user experience all improve when you keep your website updated.
We recommend getting back in touch about 3-6 months after launch. Since the site has been live for a while and you’ve had time to adjust, we want to hear how it’s going. Are there any ways we can improve? Are there any changes you wish were made? Or anything you’d like to do differently in the future?
A proper WordPress website design company will understand WordPress completely. This is more than just understanding how to leverage a pre-designed theme.
At its core, WordPress is a collection of PHP files organized in several folders and directories. You can then break those files down into the core files that make WordPress run, the files that users add to the system to extend its functionality, and finally, the user media files that users add to the system. WordPress updates its core files for security reasons and to make the software run more smoothly, all while taking advantage of the newest technologies available.
There is nothing hidden from us regarding what makes WordPress tick. So if you want to, you can dive in and see how WordPress development works. But, of course, you don’t ever really need to, and the WordPress core software are files that you should never have to touch.
All WordPress websites require a theme to run. While the core WordPress software handles the engine behind a WordPress website, the theme files take the look and feel. You must have a theme to have a WordPress site. To some, a theme implies cheating or using someone else’s design. That is not the case. If you code a WordPress design from scratch, you will be making your own WordPress theme.
The theme is responsible for what the website looks like. It houses all of the template images and the CSS behind the web page structure. The standard headers and footers are all defined in the theme. This keeps core WordPress development functionality separate from design. If you want to change the look of your website, you just need to replace the theme components of your site. Very smart!
Although WordPress has a vast feature list that it can handle out of the box, it had the foresight to know that people would want more. So they developed a hook system that allows software developers to “plug in” to the WordPress system for extending its functionality.
Plugins are one of the most fun and beneficial aspects of working with WordPress development. See some functionality on a website that your website doesn’t have? There is probably a plugin for it. Want to add a fantastic eCommerce section to your website? Instead of having to code for hundreds of hours to have a bare-bones shopping cart, you can now install a plugin and just configure it. If you can dream it, there is likely already a plugin for it.
If you're serious about search engine optimization, WordPress should be your CMS of choice. There are a dizzying number of tools available to WordPress designers, developers, and users that streamline the SEO process. For example, the Yoast SEO plugin alone will give you on-page grading of keyword focus, create XML sitemap files for you to submit to Google Search Console, provide fields for customizing meta tags, and much more.
WordPress frameworks tend to be semantically correct for perfect on-page SEO. WordPress business websites will also be lightning fast at getting any new content indexed with its "pinging" functionality that tells search engines that new content is available, so please come crawl it.
WordPress development has come a long way since it came out on May 27, 2003, by its founders, Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little. But, of course, that is a long time iterating and making improvements with its usability. Nevertheless, we have found that WordPress is by far the easiest to use for the end-user.
The owner of our websites will get full WordPress training at the end of the project, leaving them with all the skills necessary not to have to hire us for updates (although we are more than happy to do updates if desired). Tasks such as adding blog posts, updating testimonials, changing the pricing on eCommerce sites, and adding services pages are easily handled by even the most technically challenged.
Other content management systems can look great if you stick to the designs and layouts that they use out of the box. What if you want your web design to be a little different? What if you want something completely custom? Using WordPress allows us to design without restriction. If we can dream it up, we know we can implement it with WordPress.
Don't make your marketing bend to your CMS. Instead, let your business be represented online in as unique a way as you want it to. We have been implementing custom WordPress web designs and development for a decade. So whether you dream it or we do, we can feel confident that the choice in content management will not be restricting us in any way.
Given the vast user base and giant community behind WordPress, there is little argument that it is the best polished CMS out there. Amazingly, something so complex can work so well. The plugins, themes, and customizations that can be done using WordPress development and still not give you problems are pretty amazing. And in the off chance that something does go wrong, it is straightforward to find people that can help. Want to learn to be a WordPress expert yourself? Go check out WordPress.tv or do any search you can think of on Youtube, and you will find all the tutorials you can handle. Buying into the WordPress community and ecosystem is a decision you will not regret.
WordPress is a completely free piece of community-driven open-source software that came into existence in 2003. It is a set of PHP files driven by a MySQL database that creates a website framework. It was used initially as a blogging platform but quickly grew into the powerhouse that it is today. For the end-user, most of this is irrelevant. What users truly enjoy about WordPress is the ability to control website content and design without knowing complicated code.
Although you can go as far down the rabbit hole as you can imagine with WordPress, the basics of managing a WordPress site for tasks such as adding a blog article, editing a page of content,, or even adding some functionality are all relatively simple to learn.
WordPress can perform the backbone duties of almost any kind of website you can think of or web development platform out there. Here is a small list of the types of websites that WordPress performs especially well behind:
This list can go on and on. But, essentially, bar the most complicated website specifications, WordPress can provide the engine for any website you can imagine. We have been building WordPress websites for over a decade now, and we have seen it all done. It allows us rapid web development, lightning-fast speed, and functionality that you would otherwise have to spend hundreds or thousands of hours on without.
