WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites. It’s user-friendly, highly customisable, and supported by a large community of developers and designers. With WordPress, you can create anything from a simple blog to a complex e-commerce site, making it a versatile choice for any business.
The cost of building a WordPress website can vary widely depending on your specific needs, the process that the company will take you through and their hourly rate. Vu will understand your needs and create a costed and dated project plan as part of the sales process.
Other costs to consider include domain registration, hosting, content (video/photos/copywriting) and subscriptions to premium plugins that will save bespoke development costs.
The time it takes to build a WordPress website can vary based on its complexity and your readiness. A simple brochure website with a bespoke design may take less than a month. For more complex sites there may be weeks of discovery, design reviews and extensive time in build and populating meaning the timeline can extend to several months.
WordPress is the most popular CMS, making it a potential target for hackers. Fortunately, its large community is always working to address any vulnerabilities. Security risks often arise from unsupported plugins and outdated software, so it’s essential to keep your WordPress core, themes, and plugins updated regularly.
More often than not we can customise your WordPress website to seamlessly integrate with your specific systems like CRMs, accounts or inventories. Our experienced team will work closely with you to scope and find solutions that ensure your website creates a great experience for your team or customers.
After your WordPress website is launched we would suggest a setting up a maintenance agreement including to help with any issues, perform routine maintenance.
