How long does a WordPress build take?

A standard Business Website usually launches in about 5–7 weeks. Custom WordPress builds with extra features, integrations or an online store take longer, and we'll give you a timeline with your quote. Getting content and feedback to us quickly keeps things moving.

WordPress powers a large share of the web, so it's well supported, flexible and easy to find help for. It lets you update text, images and blog posts yourself without a developer, and it works well for SEO.

Can I update it myself?

Yes. We build your site so everyday edits are simple, and we'll walk you through how to update pages, add blog posts and change images. If you'd rather not, our WordPress Care plan includes small content updates.

WordPress is secure when it's kept updated and well maintained, which is where most problems come from. We use trusted themes and plugins, set up security tools and backups, and our WordPress Care plan keeps everything up to date.

What does WordPress Care include?

For $149/mo + HST, we handle WordPress core, theme and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime and security monitoring, up to an hour of content edits and a monthly health report. It means fewer surprises and quicker fixes if something breaks.

Yes. Once paid, the site, content and domain are yours, with full admin access. You're never locked in, and you can move hosting or providers anytime.

Can you fix or redesign my existing WordPress site?

Yes. We can repair, speed up, update or fully redesign an existing WordPress site. We'll review it first and tell you whether fixing or rebuilding makes more sense.

Can you add an online store or booking to WordPress?

Yes. We can add WooCommerce for selling online, booking tools, forms and integrations with your CRM or email platform. We'll scope these features in your proposal.

Built

WordPress that ranks and converts

WordPress is built for search engines and built for business owners who want control

Fast

SEO-optimized from the ground up

Clean code, fast loading, structured for Google. Your site ranks because it's built right.

Connected to Google where it matters

Analytics, Maps, Reviews, Business Profile. Everything talks to Google so you see what works.

Grows with your business

Start simple. Add features later. WordPress scales without rebuilding from scratch.

What a well-built WordPress site does for your business

WordPress is only as good as the way it's set up. Built properly, it should give you:

Better local visibility. Clean structure, local schema and service-area pages help Google understand where you work and what you do.
Faster page loads. Lean themes, optimized images and caching help your site pass Google's Core Web Vitals on mobile.
More enquiries. Clear calls to action, click-to-call and short forms make it easy for visitors to get in touch.
A secure, reliable site. Regular updates, backups and monitoring keep your site online and your visitors' data safe.

WordPress design and development services in London, Ontario

From a brand-new build to looking after a site you already have, here's what we take on.

WordPress website design

We design your site around your brand and your customers, then build it in WordPress so you can edit it yourself. Every layout is planned mobile-first, with the main action, such as a call or booking, easy to find.

WordPress development and custom themes

We build lightweight custom themes or carefully set up an existing theme, rather than stacking page builders and plugins. Less bloat means faster pages and fewer things to break during updates.

WooCommerce and e-commerce

WooCommerce turns WordPress into an online store. We set up products, categories, payments, Canadian tax and shipping rules so you can take orders and manage stock from the same dashboard as your website.

Custom plugin development

When an off-the-shelf plugin doesn't quite fit, or you'd need five plugins to do one job, we can build a small custom plugin instead. Common examples are custom quote forms, booking rules or a link to your CRM.

WordPress SEO

We set up the search basics properly: page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, clean URLs, XML sitemap, schema markup and a sensible site architecture. That gives SEO and local SEO work a strong base.

Content strategy and writing

We plan which pages your site needs, such as one page per service and per service area, and can write the copy for them. Clear, plain-English pages help both visitors and search engines.

Is WordPress right for your business?

WordPress is free, open-source software. You aren't locked into one company's platform, and you can move your site to a different host or a different agency if you ever need to. Thousands of themes and plugins mean almost any feature you need already exists, and the editor is simple enough that most staff can update a page after a short walkthrough.

It's a strong fit for service businesses that want to publish their own content: service pages, location pages, a blog, team bios and project galleries. It also handles small to mid-sized online stores well through WooCommerce.

WordPress isn't always the answer, though. If you only sell products online and don't want to manage hosting or updates, Shopify may be simpler. If you need a very custom app or portal, a custom build may suit you better. We'll tell you honestly which platform fits during your free health check or a strategy call. See our wider web design and development options.

The one thing WordPress does need is regular care. Updates, backups and security checks aren't optional. That's why we offer the Care Plan, so your site stays fast and safe without you having to think about it.

How a WordPress project works

Here is how a WordPress project runs, from the first conversation to ongoing care.

Step 1
Discovery
We learn about your business, your customers and what the site needs to achieve. If you already have a WordPress site, we start with a health check of its plugins, speed and security.
Reviewing a business's goals and any existing WordPress site
Step 2
Planning and sitemap
We agree on the pages, features and plugins your site needs, and give you a schedule with review points and a list of content we'll need from you.

Step 3
Design
We design key pages first so you can see the look and layout before we build. You review and give feedback in set revision rounds.
Applying brand colours and shapes to a WordPress design
Step 4
Build
We build your site in WordPress on a staging copy, set up the editor so it's easy to use, connect forms, and add only the plugins that are needed.

Step 5
SEO setup and testing
We set titles, headings, schema and redirects from old URLs, connect Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, then test on phones, tablets and desktops.

Step 6
Launch and training
We move the site live, check SSL and forms, and walk you through how to update pages yourself.

Step 7
Ongoing care
