FAQs

WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that allows you to create and manage your website easily. It’s user-friendly, highly customisable, and has a large community for support. WordPress powers over 40% of all websites on the internet, making it a reliable choice for businesses of all sizes.

The cost of a WordPress website can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the project, the features required, and the level of customisation. I offer competitive pricing and can provide a detailed quote after discussing your specific requirements. Generally, the price for a new website can range from ~$2500 to ~$10,000.

Before I start developing your new website, I’ll need your brand guideline, logo, professional photos/videos, and text content/copywriting.

Yes, I offer ongoing maintenance and support services to ensure your website remains secure, up-to-date, and functioning optimally. My WordPress website maintenance plans start from $95/month, which include:

  • Server management/optimisation
  • Regular software updates
  • Functionality testing
  • Daily Backups
  • Malware scans and security checks
  • 24/7 uptime monitoring
  • Troubleshooting any issues that might arise
  • Monthly reporting

The timeline for a WordPress website project can vary based on the scope of work. A simple website might take a few weeks, while a more complex site could take several months. I will provide you with a detailed project timeline after our initial consultation.

I can’t promise a specific Google ranking, but what I can promise is an SEO foundation that will give your business the best chance of being found online.
