WordPress Development Services
WordPress runs ~43% of the web for a reason — it's the most flexible, well-supported CMS available. We build WordPress sites and WooCommerce stores that load fast, rank well, and stay maintainable past year five. From a 5-page brochure site to a 50,000-SKU WooCommerce catalog, every build follows the same engineering standards: clean code, proper caching, security hardening, and a CMS your content team actually wants to use.
Why teams choose us for WordPress Development
Most WordPress development is done by people who string plugins together until the site breaks. We write custom themes from scratch in PHP and modern JavaScript, audit every plugin for performance impact, and tune the database. The result: WordPress sites that score 90+ on PageSpeed Insights, not the typical 30-40 you see on bloated builds. We've also done the harder stuff — headless WordPress with Next.js, custom Gutenberg blocks, and complex WooCommerce extensions for B2B catalogs.
When WordPress Development is the right choice
WordPress is the right platform when you want full ownership of your code and hosting, you have content that needs frequent editor-friendly updates, your e-commerce catalog has unusual configurations Shopify can't handle, you need deep SEO control over every URL, or you want to avoid recurring SaaS platform fees. It's not the right fit if you don't have a developer on call — WordPress requires ongoing maintenance and a security-first hosting setup.
Our WordPress Development Process
We map your content model, hosting requirements, plugin needs, and SEO goals. Output: detailed brief, page-type definitions, and a maintenance plan.
Hand-coded theme from scratch — no page builders unless you specifically want one. Block-based editor support, ACF Pro for custom fields, mobile-first responsive design.
We pick plugins surgically (typical site has 8-12 plugins, not 40). Custom plugins built where off-the-shelf options fall short. Full integration with Mailchimp, HubSpot, Razorpay, Stripe, and your CRM.
Object caching, full-page caching via Cloudflare or LiteSpeed, image optimization, lazy loading, security hardening (Wordfence, file integrity, login protection), automated backups.
Cross-browser testing, accessibility audit, sitemap submission, staff training session on the CMS, and 30 days post-launch monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a custom WordPress site cost in India?
Brochure / business sites: ₹15k-₹50k. Editorial / content sites with advanced features: ₹50k-₹100k. WooCommerce stores: ₹50k-₹200k. Enterprise builds with headless front-ends: ₹200k+. Final cost depends on number of page types, custom plugin needs, integrations, and design fidelity.
How long does it take to build a custom WordPress site?
Standard 5-15 page sites: 3-5 weeks. Editorial sites with custom post types and ACF fields: 5-8 weeks. WooCommerce stores: 6-12 weeks. Headless builds: 10-16 weeks. We work in weekly sprints with Monday demos.
Do you also offer WordPress maintenance after launch?
Yes. We offer monthly retainers (₹5k-₹30k/month depending on scope) covering plugin updates, security patches, daily backups, performance monitoring, and 4-12 hours of feature/content work per month. Most of our WordPress clients stay on retainer for 2+ years.
Will my WordPress site be fast?
Yes. Every WordPress build we deliver scores 85-100 on PageSpeed Insights for both mobile and desktop, with sub-1.5s LCP on the homepage. We achieve this through proper caching strategy, surgical plugin selection, image optimization, and custom theme code (no page builders unless explicitly requested).
Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?
Yes. We've migrated sites from Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Drupal, and custom CMSs to WordPress. Standard migration includes content, media, URL structure preservation via 301 redirects, and SEO meta tags. Timeline: 2-4 weeks for sites under 200 pages.
What's the difference between custom themes and page builders like Elementor?
Custom themes are hand-coded from scratch in PHP and modern JavaScript — no visual builders, no plugin overhead, just clean code optimized for speed and SEO. Page builders like Elementor are visual tools that ship with tons of JavaScript and bloat by default; we've audited 50+ Elementor sites and the median PageSpeed score is 28. Every WordPress build we deliver scores 85-100 on PageSpeed because we use custom themes, not builders. The trade-off: custom themes cost more upfront (₹60k-₹200k) but you get a maintainable, fast site that runs for 5+ years. Builders feel fast to set up but slow down over time as you add plugins.
If I need an ecommerce store, should I use WordPress with WooCommerce or switch to Shopify?
For Indian businesses: WordPress wins on cost and payment gateway compatibility. Shopify charges ₹2,100-₹6,600/month plus 0.5-2% transaction fees on every order because Shopify Payments doesn't work for Indian merchants — you're forced to use Razorpay with their surcharge. Over 3 years, WordPress saves ₹80k-₹120k in platform fees alone. WordPress integrates natively with Razorpay, PayU, and Cashfree with zero surcharge. Choose Shopify only if you want zero technical involvement and don't mind the higher fees. Choose WordPress if you have any content/blog component, need strong SEO, or want to avoid recurring SaaS costs.
How do I know my WordPress developer won't just string plugins together until the site breaks?
Ask your developer three things: (1) Will you use page builders, and if so why? (If they default to Elementor or similar, move on.) (2) What's your plugin strategy — how many plugins will the final site have, and which ones? (Healthy sites run 8-12 plugins, not 40-50.) (3) Can you show me your previous sites' PageSpeed scores? We publish ours publicly and every site we launch scores 85-100 on PageSpeed. Most developers can't answer these honestly. Also ask if they do a plugin audit after launch and remove unnecessary ones — that's the sign of a team that actually cares about long-term maintainability, not just shipping and moving on.

Laravel is the framework we reach for when a project needs more than a CMS but less than a microservices platform — internal tools, B2B SaaS, admin dashboards, custom CRMs, and REST/GraphQL APIs. We've shipped 6+ Laravel projects across healthcare, fintech, logistics, and education, with clean architecture, proper test coverage, and admin panels that ops teams actually enjoy using.
Next.js is our default for any modern web project where SEO, performance, and developer experience all matter. We've shipped 8+ production Next.js apps on the App Router across SaaS dashboards, headless e-commerce, content sites, and marketing pages — including this one. Every build uses TypeScript, Tailwind, and the latest Next.js patterns, deployed to Vercel for the fastest possible iteration loop.
