WordPress Development in the US
We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in the US. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in USD.
Working hours
Our day ends at 07:30 in the US (08:30 on summer time), before yours begins, so we work asynchronously: written updates land overnight and are waiting when you start.
Quoted in USD
There is no general VAT in the US at present, so the quote is the amount you pay.
Data protection
Work for this market is scoped against state privacy law, principally the CCPA and CPRA in California, agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.
Written scope
Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed USD quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.
About WordPress Development
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.
What the engagement includes
- Custom WordPress theme development from scratch
- Custom Gutenberg blocks and block patterns
- WooCommerce store development and customization
- WordPress plugin development (private and public)
- Headless WordPress with Next.js or Astro front-end
- WordPress speed optimization (PageSpeed 90+)
- WordPress security hardening and malware cleanup
- Site migration (Wix, Squarespace, Webflow → WordPress)

On a WooCommerce store the quickest way to break California's Honest Pricing Law is one line of code. SB 478 has applied since 1 July 2024, it reaches online and physical businesses selling most goods and services for personal use, and the state Attorney General's guidance says the advertised or listed price must be the full price the consumer has to pay, with only taxes and fees imposed by the government and reasonable shipping for physical goods left out. WooCommerce makes the opposite easy: its cart fee API, and the plugins built on it, can add a handling charge, a small order fee or a card surcharge after the product page has shown a lower figure, which is the drip pricing the statute targets. The Attorney General treats a card processing fee as mandatory when card is the only way a customer can pay. So any fee every buyer must pay moves into the product price, and the figure on the shop page, in the product schema and in the Merchant Center feed comes from one calculation, while genuinely optional extras stay optional. Booking sites built on WordPress carry a federal rule as well. The FTC's Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees has applied since 12 May 2025 to anyone offering short-term lodging or live-event tickets, vacation rentals included, and it requires the total price, mandatory charges such as resort or cleaning fees included, to be shown more prominently than any other pricing information. Government charges, shipping and add-ons the customer chooses are the only exclusions. Where a booking or ticketing plugin stores the nightly rate and the fees as separate fields, the listing has to add them up once dates are chosen and lead with that total, updating it as the guest picks options that change the rate. Whether a particular fee counts as mandatory is for your own counsel.
A WordPress site that sells or streams video, whether a course platform or a publisher with its own player, carries an older federal risk: the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988. It covers businesses dealing in prerecorded video cassette tapes or similar audio visual materials, bars them from knowingly disclosing information that identifies a person as having requested or obtained specific video, and gives that person a claim for at least $2,500 in liquidated damages plus attorney's fees. The modern version of the claim is about the Meta Pixel. In Salazar v. Paramount Global the plaintiff alleged that a sports site disclosed his Facebook ID and the videos he watched to Meta through the pixel while he was logged in to Facebook. When a WordPress permalink is built from the post name, the page address a pixel reports already carries the video's title, so a tracking plugin added for ad attribution can become the disclosure. Who counts as a consumer is the open question. The Second and Seventh Circuits let almost any subscription confer that status, a free newsletter included, while the Sixth and D.C. Circuits require a connection to the audiovisual content, and on 26 January 2026 the Supreme Court agreed to decide it in No. 25-459, with argument expected in the term opening this month. The statute's own way out is consent given in a form distinct and separate from any other legal or financial terms, which can run for up to two years or until it is withdrawn. So on video pages the pixel either stays off or fires without the address and title, consent is its own recorded step with an expiry date rather than a line in the checkout terms, and server-side events get the same treatment, because sending them from the server does not change what Meta receives. Whether your site is a video tape service provider is for your own counsel.
Once a WordPress site lets users put material on it, through comments with image uploads, a bbPress forum, member profiles, front-end post submission or a multi-vendor WooCommerce marketplace, the owner's protection against copyright claims over that material depends on paperwork most sites never finish. Section 512(c) of the Copyright Act shields a service provider from liability for material stored at the direction of users, but only if it has no actual knowledge or awareness of infringement, takes no direct financial benefit from infringement it has the right and ability to control, and acts expeditiously to remove or disable access once it receives a proper notice. It also needs a designated agent. The Copyright Office's rule requires the agent's name, postal address, telephone number and email to be posted on the site in a place the public can reach and filed with the Office, along with every name the public might search for, website addresses included. A designation expires and becomes invalid three years after it is registered unless it is renewed, so a site that filed at launch in 2023 can be without the shield today and nobody on the team will have noticed. The rest of section 512 is workflow. A takedown notice has defined elements, so the intake form asks for each of them. The uploader can send a counter-notice, after which the material goes back up no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days later unless the complainant reports a court action, and WP-Cron, which runs only when someone loads a page, is not a timer to trust with that window, so the restore job runs from the server's own scheduler. The safe harbor also requires a reasonably implemented policy for terminating repeat infringers, which means the site keeps a count of upheld notices against each user account rather than deleting posts one at a time. Whether your site qualifies for the safe harbor is for your own counsel.
How we work with US clients
A US engagement gets agreed twice. Once with the person who wants the thing built, and then again with legal, security, procurement and finance, who arrive separately and rarely in the same week. That second round is where a supplier outside the country loses the calendar: a master services agreement to redline, a security questionnaire, a certificate of insurance, and a vendor portal that assumes everyone it onboards can sign a W-9. Send all of it while the scope is still being written rather than in the week you wanted to start, and where the honest answer to a row is that we do not hold something, we write that in rather than leaving it blank.
You are also buying from a company you cannot drop in on, so the evidence has to do the work an office would otherwise do. What we send is live production URLs rather than a deck, a written scope with one fixed number against it, and the names of the people who will do the work rather than a bench that changes after signature. What we will also tell you is the shape of what you are hiring: a small team in Noida that has been building since 2021, not a firm that can put four more people on your project next Monday. If that is what your timeline needs, we say so before the contract rather than after it.

Does our site have to meet ADA accessibility requirements?
If you are consumer facing in the US, build as though it does. Demand letters over inaccessible websites are routine and cheap to send, federal work brings Section 508 with it, and the Department of Justice rule under Title II sets WCAG 2.1 AA for state and local government entities on a timetable your counsel can confirm for your size band. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with a screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan, because automated tools catch perhaps a third of real issues and the other two thirds are the ones that end up in a letter.
How do we know you will still be here in two years?
Nobody can promise you that, and a supplier who does is selling something. We have been building since 2021 and we maintain what we build, which is the honest version of the answer. The useful version is that it should not have to matter. The repository is in your GitHub organization, the domain and hosting accounts are in your company name, the stack is Next.js, Laravel, Flutter and Postgres rather than anything only we can read, and the handover document exists before you ask for it. If we vanished tomorrow, another agency could pick it up without needing to call us.
Can you sign our NDA and work under our MSA?
Yes to the NDA. Send your standard one and it comes back signed within 24 hours, before you describe the project in any detail. Yes to the MSA too, with the caveat that we read it properly rather than signing to be agreeable. The two clauses we usually come back on are unlimited liability, where we ask for a cap tied to the fees, and an IP clause drafted broadly enough to sweep in the internal tooling we bring to every project. Everything built for you transfers to you in full on final payment. We mark up those two and sign the rest.
Something breaks at two in the afternoon in Chicago. What actually happens?
Two in the afternoon in Chicago is past midnight here, half past midnight in summer and half past one in winter, so the truthful answer depends on what you are paying for. Monitoring does not keep our hours and the alert fires whatever the clock says. Whether a person is awake to act on it depends on your plan, because we are not a 24/7 on-call operation as standard, and we would rather tell you that while you are choosing a plan than while your checkout is down. Without out-of-hours cover written into the contract, the realistic answer is that it is picked up at the start of our day, which is the middle of your night, and you should price that in when you decide.
WordPress Development: common questions
How much does a custom WordPress site cost?
Brochure / business sites: $170-$570. Editorial / content sites with advanced features: $570-$1,100. WooCommerce stores: $570-$2,300. Enterprise builds with headless front-ends: $2,300+. 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 ($57-$340/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.
