WordPress Development Services

We build and maintain WordPress sites for companies that see their website as a key part of their operations, not just an online brochure. This includes using version-controlled themes, carefully reviewing plugins, testing changes on a staging site before going live, and making sure someone is responsible for updates after launch.

Problems with WordPress sites usually come from plugins, not the core software.

Nearly all incidents of breach in WordPress are due to a plugin or a theme, not to the core component. The core itself has very few flaws and quickly patches them, whereas the plugin directory does not.

Each plugin you install becomes a dependency that you then have to take responsibility for. We consider the plugin list to be an architectural decision, not something that is merely installed.

Our Clients

WordPress Development Services We Offer

WordPress Solutions

We have eight service lines, and each one is dealt with separately since a theme rebuild isn't the same as a WooCommerce migration.

01.

Custom WordPress Development

Custom WordPress Development

We create custom post types, taxonomies, and block patterns tailored to your editorial needs. We always use a child theme or a custom-built theme and never change the core WordPress files.

02.

Plugin Development and Custom Work

Plugin Development and Custom Work

If there isn’t a well-maintained plugin that fits your needs, we build one for you. This removes outside dependencies and keeps your site’s logic in your own codebase.

03.

Support and Maintenance

Support and Maintenance

We update WordPress core, plugins, and PHP on a set schedule, always testing updates on a staging site first. If a plugin flaw is made public, we run automated scans within hours. The real risk comes from delays in updating.

04.

Third-Party Integration

Third-Party Integration

We connect payment gateways, CRMs, marketing tools, and analytics using the REST API or plugin hooks. We keep a record of each integration and track what happens if something goes wrong.

05.

WooCommerce and eCommerce Builds

WooCommerce and eCommerce Builds

We handle catalog structure, checkout, taxes, and payment routing. For more details, see our WooCommerce development services page.

06.

Custom Theme Development

Custom Theme Development

We build both block and classic themes to be fully responsive. We check Core Web Vitals before handing the site over to you.

07.

PSD and Design-to-WordPress Conversion

PSD and Design-to-WordPress Conversion

We convert static design files into working WordPress templates. For more about our front-end work, see our PSD to HTML development services page.

08.

Migration and Upgrades

Migration and Upgrades

The platform moves onto WordPress, plus version and PHP upgrades on live installs. Redirect maps and content parity checks are in scope, not an extra.

Why Companies Choose Cypherox for WordPress

Four things separate a maintained WordPress build from an abandoned one.

We Cap the Plugin Surface

We review every plugin for its last update, how many sites use it, and any past security issues. Many plugins are abandoned and never fixed. If a plugin does not meet our standards, we build the needed feature ourselves.

We Build in Version Control

We keep themes and custom plugins in Git and use a staging site for testing. All changes are reviewed before going live.

We Deliver the Docs

You receive the plugin list, integration map, update instructions, and full access to your site. If you bring the work in-house, you have everything you need.

We Measure Speed Instead of Claiming It

We measure Core Web Vitals before and after our work. We adjust caching, image handling, and database queries based on those results.

What Drives Your Cost

Project cost depends on the scope, not just the number of pages. Five main factors affect pricing the most.

Template Count and Design Work

Creating ten unique templates costs more than reusing one template ten times. Using repeatable patterns is the most cost-effective option.

Custom Features

If a maintained plugin cannot handle a feature, we write, test, and support the custom code ourselves.

Integrations

Every external system we connect adds work for login, error handling, and planning for failures. Older or undocumented APIs are the most expensive to integrate.

Content Volume

Migrating 200 pages is a straightforward task. Moving 20,000 pages with matching URLs and redirect maps is a much larger project.

Post-Launch Cover

Ongoing updates, monitoring, and response times are priced separately from the initial build.

Pricing is based on your specific needs. Send us your project details, and we’ll provide a written estimate that lists all our assumptions.

How the Build Runs

Our Approach

Step 1

Discovery

We gather your content list, integration needs, and current traffic data. We make sure we agree on what “done” means before starting the build.

Step 2

Structure and design

We plan the URL structure, create a template map, and review the design. If you don’t have a design yet, we handle UI and UX design at this stage.

Step 3

Build

We develop the theme and any custom plugins in Git, working on a staging site.

Step 4

Integration and content load

We connect external systems, move your content, and set up redirects.

Step 5

Testing

We check the site across browsers, make sure it’s responsive and accessible, and test its speed. We also record Core Web Vitals on the staging site.

Step 6

Launch and handover

DNS cutover, redirect checks, live monitoring, and docs delivered.

A standard marketing site usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks to build. Projects with custom features, WooCommerce, or large migrations take 8 to 12 weeks. The timeline depends on your needs and how quickly we get content and approvals.

Tailored Talent Scaling

We offer three main ways to work with us on WordPress projects.

Project Team

This model has a fixed scope with a clear start and end date. It works best for site rebuilds, migrations, or launching a new store.

Dedicated Developers

WordPress engineers working inside your process and sprint cycle. Hire WordPress developers covers this model.

Maintenance Retainer

A standing block of hours for updates, monitoring, and small changes. This is the model most sites need, and most sites skip.

We adjust team size as needed during the project. For example, migrations require more people during content loading than during the build phase.

FAQ

WordPress Development Services FAQ

Can WordPress handle enterprise traffic and complex sites?

Yes, with the right setup. Object caching, a CDN, database tuning, and a small plugin count matter more than the platform. Sites fail because of plugin bloat and untuned queries, not the core.

How do you keep a WordPress site secure?

We keep the plugin list short, push updates through staging on a fixed schedule, limit user roles, and watch for file changes. Nearly all WordPress breaches start in a plugin or theme, so plugin control is the main lever.

How long does a custom WordPress build take?

Around 4 to 6 weeks for a standard marketing site. Custom features, WooCommerce, or big migrations push it to 8 to 12 weeks. Content readiness and approval speed move the date more than coding does.

Can WordPress run headless with a React or Next.js front end?

Yes. The REST API or WPGraphQL feeds a separate front end while editors keep the admin they know. It adds a second codebase to maintain, so do it only when the front end demands it.

What happens after launch?

You get the plugin list, integration map, update runbook, and full access. Ongoing cover is a separate retainer for updates, monitoring, backups, and small changes. Sites with no named update owner drift out of support fast.

Do you migrate existing sites onto WordPress?

Yes. Scope includes content mapping, URL parity, redirect maps, and a post-launch crawl to catch broken paths. We baseline traffic before cutover so we can measure any drop, not argue about it.
