WP Farm’s development services put experienced WordPress developers on custom builds, and security or performance tuning. Available on every plan.

Trusted WP Experts since 2008

Built to specs

Custom components, widgets, and small features built exactly to what your site needs.

No surprises

Work directly with the developers who already manage your hosting.

Simple, fair pricing

Billed in 15-minute increments, so you only pay for the time it takes.

Why development services

Work with devs who know your stack.

Hiring an outside agency means explaining your stack, your hosting, and your history from scratch. Our development work comes from the same WordPress experts who already manage your environment. They know your setup, so custom work ships faster and with fewer surprises. It is the natural extension of our managed infrastructure.

What we build

We build the pieces you actually need.

We focus on small, focused work: custom components and widgets, a stubborn bug, or hands-on security and performance tuning. We do not take on SEO, content, or large agency-scale rebuilds. If it is a contained, security or performance-oriented piece of work, it is exactly what we are built for.

How it works

From request to live site.

Tell us what you need. We confirm it is in scope, give you a quote, and bill only for the time the work takes. Development is handled separately from hosting, and we test every build in a staging zone before it touches your live site.

Have a website emergency?

We’ll help fix it, free… Yes, you heard that right.

What's included

What development services cover

Components and widgets

Small, purpose-built components and widgets for when an off-the-shelf plugin doesn't quite fit. Built to your spec by developers who know WordPress inside out.

Performance tuning

Hands-on tuning of heavy pages, queries, and assets to keep your site fast. Focused work that complements our managed performance stack.

Bug fixes

Stubborn bugs diagnosed and resolved at the code level, not just worked around. The issues that ordinary support can't reach.

Security tuning

Hands-on hardening and security-oriented fixes at the code level. Small, focused work that tightens up your site beyond the standard configuration.

Billed in 15-minute increments

Billed in 15-minute increments, so you pay only for the time the work takes. No bundled hours, no minimums, no padded estimates to clear before the real work starts.

Staging-tested delivery

Every build is tested in a staging zone and signed off before it touches your live site. Combined with daily backups, there's a safety net at each step.

WordPress that doesn't break.
Support that won't ghost you.

Common questions

Development Services FAQ

How is development priced?

Development is billed at $140 per hour in 15-minute increments. That means a 15-minute task is $35, 30 minutes is $70, and 45 minutes is $105. You only pay for the time the work actually takes, and we’ll give you an estimate before we start so there are no surprises.

What kinds of work do you take on?

Small, contained builds: custom components and widgets, bug fixes, and security or performance tuning at the code level. We don’t do SEO, content writing, or large agency-scale rebuilds. If your task is a focused, security or performance-oriented piece of work, it’s a good fit.

Is this available on my plan?

Yes. Development services are available on every WP Farm plan. Your hosting covers managing the environment; the build work itself is billed separately at $140/hr in 15-minute increments. That keeps your hosting price predictable while giving you on-demand access to developers when you need them.

How do you make sure a build won't break my site?

Every build is tested in a staging zone before it touches production. We verify the work on a copy of your site, get your sign-off, then push to live. Combined with daily backups, there’s a safety net at every step.

Can you work on a site you don't host?

Development services are designed for sites we host, because the developers already know the environment. If you’d like development help, the simplest path is a free migration to WP Farm first. Then your hosting and development sit with one team.

How long does a typical build take?

Because we focus on small, contained work, most jobs are quick, often well under an hour. We’ll give you a time estimate up front so you know roughly what it will cost at $140/hr. Because our team already knows your setup, the work moves faster than briefing an outside agency from scratch.
