WordPress Developer
for your next project

It depends on the type of work. New websites and redesigns are quoted as a fixed fee after a discovery call, so you know the full cost before anything starts and payments are tied to milestones. For smaller or less predictable work, my hourly rate is $75, and you can buy prepaid blocks of hours to use over 12 months. Ongoing support starts at $750 per month for 10 hours, with 30 days notice to cancel.

Most projects run 6 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. A focused build with a defined page count sits at the shorter end; a redesign with multiple stakeholders and content restructuring sits at the longer end. You get a timeline with milestone dates in the proposal, and payments are tied to those milestones rather than to hours worked.

No. Marketplace themes and page builders are the reason so many WordPress sites become slow and fragile within a year or two. I build a custom theme designed around your content, with clean, lightweight code and no plugin sprawl. The result loads faster, survives WordPress updates, and stays maintainable long after launch.

Yes, and this is a large part of what you are paying for. Pages are built with reusable blocks your team can rearrange and edit without touching code or breaking layouts. Every project ends with a training session and handover documentation.

Yes, and this is planned before anything moves. URL structure, redirects, metadata and page hierarchy are mapped as part of the project, so existing rankings carry across to the new site rather than being rebuilt from scratch. Technical SEO is included in every build, not sold as an extra.

With an agency you get a team, and usually an account manager between you and the people doing the work. With me, the person you speak with on the first call is the person designing your site and directing the build. Fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and no layer of project management in your budget.

Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support as standard, covering fixes and adjustments after go-live. Beyond that, most clients continue on a monthly care plan, or buy prepaid blocks of hours to use as they need them. You own the site and the hosting account throughout, and there is no lock-in either way.

Async by default, using a shared project board where every task, question and approval is written down and visible. Scheduled calls at key milestones, and I aim to respond to messages the same working day. This is deliberate: documented communication is what keeps fixed-fee projects on scope and on schedule, and it means nothing important lives only in someone’s memory of a call.

Yes, and a large share of my work is on sites I didn’t build. I start by reviewing the theme, plugins and hosting setup so we both know what we’re working with before any changes are made. From there, you can choose how to work together. Ongoing monthly support suits teams with a steady flow of work, such as new pages, design updates and new features, and starts at $750 per month for 10 hours, with 30 days notice to cancel. If your needs are more occasional, you can buy a prepaid block of hours at $75 per hour and use them whenever you need over 12 months.
