Development questions

Straight answers about cost, scope and safety.

Still unsure? Ask a WordPress expert

How is development priced?

It’s $140 an hour, billed in 15-minute steps. So 15 minutes is $35, 30 minutes is $70 and 45 minutes is $105. We give you an estimate before we start.

What kind of work do you take on?

Small, contained jobs: custom components and widgets, bug fixes, and security or performance tuning in the code. We don’t do SEO, content writing or large rebuilds.

Is it available on my plan?

Yes, on every plan. Your hosting covers running the server. Dev work is billed separately at $140 an hour in 15-minute steps.

How do you keep a build from breaking my site?

Every build is tested in a staging zone first. You sign off, then we push it live, with daily backups behind every step.

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

Dev services are built for sites we host, because our devs already know the setup. The easy path is a free migration to WP Farm first.

How long does a typical job take?

Most jobs are quick, often well under an hour. We give you a time estimate up front so you know the cost.

If a plugin can’t do it, our devs can.
