What drives the cost
Custom theme vs page builder
Custom themes cost more upfront but are faster and easier to maintain.
Custom plugins
Business logic in custom plugins adds development time.
Content migration
Moving many posts, media and users takes planning.
WooCommerce
Adding a store turns a website into an e-commerce project.
Multilingual
WPML or Polylang set-up and translation add scope.
What should be included in the price
Whatever level you choose, the proposal should list deliverables, milestones, warranty and ownership in writing. Compare that list across quotes; our WordPress development page shows a typical scope.
How long it takes
A custom WordPress site takes 3–6 weeks; complex builds with custom plugins take 6–10 weeks.
Timelines depend as much on how quickly decisions and content arrive from your side as on development speed.
Costs people forget
- Domain and hosting renewals
- Premium plugins or theme licences, if any
- Professional photography or stock images
- Copywriting for every page
- Monthly maintenance, backups and security
How to get better value
- Write down the outcome you want, not just the features
- Start with the smallest version that delivers that outcome, then expand
- Compare proposals on the same scope, not on the headline price
- Make sure code, accounts and content will be in your name
