A corporate site takes 4–8 weeks. WooCommerce stores with custom functionality run 6–12 weeks. Headless WordPress builds with a React frontend need 8–14 weeks. We lock the timeline during discovery so you can plan resources accordingly. ### Why don't you use Elementor or Divi? Page builders add thousands of lines of unused code that slow your site and limit what developers can do later. Our custom WordPress development approach delivers faster load times, cleaner markup, and a site that's easier to maintain long-term. ### Can you migrate my site to WordPress from another platform? Yes. We handle migrations from Wix, Squarespace, Drupal, Joomla, and static HTML. Products, content, media, and SEO data are preserved with full 301 redirect mapping. As a WordPress website development agency, we've done this dozens of times with zero traffic loss. ### Will my team be able to manage content after launch? Absolutely. Every project ships with a CMS built for your editors — intuitive ACF fields, custom post types, and a training session. Your team updates text, images, and pages without ever touching code. ### How much does custom WordPress development cost? Corporate sites start around $5,000. WooCommerce stores range from $8,000 to $20,000. Headless builds and complex web applications with custom plugins run $15,000 to $40,000+. We scope and quote after discovery so pricing is transparent from the start. ## Ready to Build a WordPress Site That Performs? Tell us about your project. Free estimate and scope within 48 hours.
