Custom WordPress Development

Web design focuses on how a website looks and feels — layout, typography, color, imagery, and user experience. Web development is the engineering that makes it work — writing code, building functionality, integrating APIs, and ensuring performance and security.

Many agencies separate these into different teams, which can create friction. At DevQ, our team handles both design and development together, so your site looks great and is built on clean, fast, maintainable code from the start. No handoff headaches, no design-to-code compromises.

WordPress.org is the open-source software that powers over 40% of the web. You download it, host it yourself (or with a managed host like WP Engine), and have complete control over your code, design, plugins, and data. WordPress.com is a hosted service run by Automattic that offers a simplified experience but limits what you can customize — especially on lower-tier plans.

For businesses that need custom functionality, third-party integrations, or full control over SEO and performance, WordPress.org is the clear choice. Every site we build at DevQ uses self-hosted WordPress.org, giving our clients full ownership and flexibility. Learn more about our WordPress development approach.

Every project is different, so we scope and price based on your specific needs — not a one-size-fits-all package. A typical custom WordPress build starts around $5,000 for a foundational site and scales with complexity (eCommerce, custom integrations, multi-site, etc.). We’ll walk you through a transparent estimate before any work begins.

Most redesigns take 4–8 weeks from kickoff to launch. The timeline depends on the scope: a refreshed 5-page site moves faster than a 50-page eCommerce build with custom functionality. We set milestones at the start so you always know where things stand.

WordPress is our specialty — it powers over 40% of the web and gives you full ownership of your site. We build with custom themes (no bloated page builders), so your site is fast, secure, and easy to manage. If your project genuinely needs something else, we’ll tell you.

Our maintenance plans cover plugin and core updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning, and a set number of content or design changes per month. Think of it as a retainer for keeping your site healthy, secure, and current — without the surprise invoices.

Absolutely. We regularly integrate CRMs, payment gateways, booking systems, shipping calculators, marketing automation tools, and custom APIs. If it has an API, we can connect it. We’ve built integrations with HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, and dozens more.
