Good fit
You want to own the site outright
The code, the content and the hosting are yours, and you can take all three to another firm without asking anyone. That is the strongest reason to choose it and it is a real one.

WordPress Puts You in Charge, Including of What Happens Next
Owning the software is the reason to choose WordPress and the reason it needs looking after. A good build decides who is responsible for that before anything gets installed.

Tell us about the site
When it is the right answer, and when it is not
Four honest readings. Two are reasons to choose it and two are reasons to check before you do.
Good fit
Your team edits the site often
Editors who publish weekly are the case a well-built WordPress site is genuinely better at. Built well means fields designed around what they actually change, not a theme's idea of it.
Check first
Nobody owns updates after launch
Core, plugins and PHP all move whether you watch them or not. Somebody has to be responsible for that in month fourteen, and if the answer is nobody, the answer is eventually a problem.
Probably not
You want operations handled for you
If you would rather never think about hosting, patching or compatibility, a hosted platform is the honest recommendation and we will say so rather than sell you a build.
The plugin question is a maintenance question
Every WordPress build makes one decision that outlives everything else on the invoice: how much of the site depends on software nobody at either company wrote.
A plugin is a dependency with a maintainer, a release cadence and a business behind it. Most are fine. The risk is not any single one, it is the total: a site with thirty of them has thirty things that can stop being maintained, conflict after a core update, or change their licensing. The site does not break on the day that happens. It breaks the next time something else updates, which is usually a Tuesday and usually nobody's fault.
So the useful question before a build is not which plugins to use. It is which capabilities genuinely need one, which are a few lines of code that will never need updating, and which were only ever there because a theme included them. That audit is quick, it happens before anything is installed, and it is most of what separates a site that ages well from one that needs rebuilding in three years.
The second decision is the editing experience. A theme gives your team whatever fields it happened to ship with. Designing the fields around what the business actually publishes costs a little more once and saves a support conversation every month afterwards.
If the platform is not settled yet, the question above this one is web design, which argues the supplier decision before the software decision. Where the site turns out to need building rather than configuring, that is website development. Where it is a store, the decision starts at e-commerce web design. The rest of what we take on is under our services.

How a build stays maintainable
The dependency audit happens first
Before anything is installed
Every capability the site needs is marked: native, a plugin worth its maintenance, or a small amount of code that will never need updating. The second column is the one that costs money later, so it gets argued about early.
Fields are designed around what you publish
Build
Editors get fields that match the real content, not a theme's guess at it. This is the difference between a team that updates the site and a team that emails us to update it.
Hosting is specified, not assumed
Build
PHP version, caching, backups and staging are decided as part of the build rather than left to whatever the domain came with. A fast site on slow hosting is not a fast site.
Update responsibility is written down
Handover
Who applies core and plugin updates, how often, and what happens when one breaks something. If that is you, you get the runbook. If it is us, it is in the agreement rather than implied.
You leave with everything
Handover
Code, database, media, hosting access and documentation. This is what owning the site actually means, and it is checked at handover rather than described in a proposal.
What the build costs
Business Website
$7,500 to $12,000
A site your team runs, on software you own
- Dependency audit before anything is installed
- Editor fields designed around your content
- Hosting and caching specified as part of the build
- Update responsibility written into the agreement
- Full handover: code, database, media, access
Business websites run $7,500 to $12,000 depending on scope, and e-commerce stores run $9,000 to $20,000 or more depending on catalog size. What moves the number is how much is designed rather than configured, how much content is written rather than migrated, and how many systems the site has to talk to. Hosting and any third-party licenses are set by their vendors and are separate from this.
Build and ownership questions
Do you build on WordPress?
Yes. Our portfolio includes WordPress sites for a cleaning company, a UK training provider, a driving school with a custom student portal, a sleep consultancy and a community organization, plus a WooCommerce store. What each one had to do is described on the work shown here.
How many plugins is too many?
There is no number, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. What matters is whether each one is doing something that genuinely needs a plugin. We audit that before installing anything, and the list is usually shorter than a theme would have chosen.
What happens when a plugin stops being maintained?
It keeps working until something else updates, then it does not. That is why the audit happens first and why update responsibility is written into the agreement rather than assumed. Where a capability is small enough to build directly, we build it directly.
Can my team edit the site without breaking it?
That is a build decision, not a training problem. Editors get fields shaped around the content they actually publish, so the things they should change are easy and the things they should not are not exposed.
What does a website cost?
Business websites run $7,500 to $12,000 depending on scope, and e-commerce stores run $9,000 to $20,000 or more depending on catalog size. What moves the number is how much is designed rather than configured, how much content is written rather than migrated, and how many systems the site has to talk to.
If we part ways, what do I actually have?
The code, the database, the media library, the hosting account and the documentation. That is the whole point of the platform and it is checked at handover. Nothing is held, and nothing needs our permission.
