Frequently Asked Questions
How much does WordPress development cost in the UK?
WordPress development in the UK typically costs £1,000-£5,000 depending on complexity. Basic sites with templates cost £1,000-£2,000, custom designs £2,500-£4,000, and advanced WordPress with custom plugins £4,000-£8,000. WooCommerce e-commerce sites typically start at £3,000.
What's the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
WordPress.com is a hosted platform with limited customization, managed by Automattic (like Wix or Squarespace). WordPress.org is the self-hosted, open-source software that professional developers use, offering complete control, custom plugins, themes, and unlimited functionality. All agencies here work with WordPress.org.
Should I hire a WordPress developer or use a page builder?
Page builders like Elementor or Divi work for simple sites you'll manage yourself, but they create bloated code that slows down your site. Professional WordPress developers create faster, more secure, SEO-optimized sites with better long-term scalability. For business-critical websites, professional development is recommended.
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
A typical WordPress website takes 2-6 weeks from start to finish. Simple brochure sites can be done in 2-3 weeks, while complex custom builds with e-commerce or advanced functionality may take 6-12 weeks. Timeline depends on scope, content readiness, and design revisions.
Do I need ongoing WordPress maintenance?
Yes, WordPress requires regular maintenance for security and performance. This includes plugin/theme updates, security patches, backups, and performance monitoring. Most agencies offer maintenance packages for £50-£200/month depending on the complexity of your site. Neglecting maintenance leaves your site vulnerable to hacks and slow performance.
