All prices are starting points in USD. Fixed-scope work is quoted as a fixed price; open-ended work runs hourly or on a retainer. Different budget? Tell me the constraints and I’ll scope something that fits.

What you get at every price point

Whatever the package, the person who scopes your project is the person who writes the code — a senior developer, working with you directly. No juniors, no account managers, no page-builder shortcuts. That’s why the WordPress development pricing above sits below agency rates without cutting the seniority.

How WordPress development pricing works here

Fixed-scope projects (a speed fix, a custom build) get a fixed price after a short call, so there are no surprises. Genuinely open-ended work — audits, ongoing support, evolving scope — runs hourly or on a monthly retainer.

Frequently asked questions

What does “from” pricing include?

It covers the core, well-defined scope of that package. After a short discovery call I confirm the exact requirements and send a fixed quote — you approve the number before any work starts.

Do you charge fixed or hourly?

Fixed price for clearly-scoped builds so you get cost certainty, and hourly or a monthly retainer for open-ended audits, support and evolving work.

Why is this cheaper than an agency?

You’re not paying agency overhead — sales teams, account managers, offices. The rate reflects the engineering, not the org chart, and the senior developer is the one actually building.

What are your payment terms?

Typically a deposit to book the work and the balance on delivery, or milestone payments for larger builds. Retainers are billed monthly.

Can you work within my budget?

Often, yes. The Speed Fix and Audit packages are low-commitment ways to start, and custom projects can be phased. Tell me the constraints on a call and I’ll scope something realistic.
