Speed Optimization

Slow WordPress sites get penalized by Google and abandoned by visitors. We optimize hosting, images, plugins, and caching for fast load times.

Security & Hardening

Lock down WordPress so it doesn’t get hacked. Proper user roles, plugin hygiene, firewall, and login protection.

Plugin updates, core updates, security patches, backups, and uptime monitoring — handled monthly so you don’t have to think about it.

Hack Recovery

If your WordPress site got compromised, we clean it up, patch the hole, restore content, and lock it down so it doesn’t happen again.

WordPress isn’t always the right answer.

WordPress runs about 40% of the internet, but it’s not always the best fit. It’s a great choice for sites where you need to add and edit content yourself — blogs, news, product catalogues, multi-page service sites. It has a huge plugin ecosystem and almost any web developer can pick it up.

It’s not the best fit for very simple sites that don’t need a content management system, or for highly custom web applications. For a simple business homepage with a few pages and a contact form, a static site is faster, cheaper, and lower maintenance. For complex business apps with logins, workflows, and real-time data, a custom web app is a much better tool than a WordPress site stretched beyond what it’s good at.

We’ll tell you honestly which one fits your project. If WordPress is the right call, we’ll build you a clean, fast WordPress site. If it isn’t, we’ll point you to our website service for simple sites or web app development for anything more complex.

Flat-rate WordPress projects and monthly maintenance.

New WordPress sites typically run $800–$2,500 for a small business site, $2,500–$6,000 for a WooCommerce store, and up for larger custom builds. Quoted flat rate after a short scoping call.

Monthly maintenance plans start around $50/month for a small site and include plugin updates, core updates, security monitoring, daily backups, and uptime alerts.

One-off work — speed fixes, plugin issues, content edits, design tweaks, hack cleanup — quoted per job, usually under $500.

WordPress FAQ

How much does a WordPress website cost?

A typical small-business WordPress site is $800–$2,500 depending on scope. WooCommerce stores and larger custom builds run higher. We quote flat rate after a short scoping call so you know the total cost upfront.

Do you do WordPress maintenance?

Yes. WordPress sites need ongoing maintenance — plugin updates, core updates, security patches, backups, and monitoring. We offer monthly maintenance plans that keep your site updated and secure without you having to think about it.

Can you migrate our existing WordPress site to better hosting?

Yes. We migrate WordPress sites from slow shared hosting to faster managed WordPress hosting — usually with a noticeable speed improvement. We handle the migration, DNS, SSL, and testing so there’s no downtime.

Will my WordPress site rank on Google?

WordPress itself is fine for SEO — the platform isn’t what determines ranking. What matters is content, page speed, schema markup, mobile experience, and local SEO setup. We build all of that in from the start.

Can you build a WooCommerce online store?

Yes. WooCommerce turns WordPress into an online store with products, cart, checkout, payments, and shipping. We set it up properly with the right payment gateways, tax handling for Canadian businesses, and a checkout that actually converts.

My WordPress site got hacked — can you fix it?

Yes. We clean up compromised WordPress sites — remove malware, identify how the attacker got in, patch the hole, restore clean content, and lock the site down properly so it doesn’t happen again. We can usually have a hacked site clean and back online within 24–48 hours.
