WordPress Development Services Across Every Project Type

No two WordPress projects are the same. Here's what our WordPress development services actually cover — and how we approach each one.

E-Commerce

WooCommerce Development

Custom product pages, checkout flows, payment gateway integrations, and inventory setups built for conversion. Handled separately on our dedicated WooCommerce page.

Platforms

Migrations to WordPress

Moving from Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, or a legacy CMS. We handle everything — URL mapping, 301 redirects, content migration, and SEO continuity throughout.

Plugins

Custom Plugin Development

When off-the-shelf plugins don't do exactly what you need, we build custom WordPress plugins — booking systems, calculators, CRM integrations, and more.

Speed

WordPress Performance Optimization

Core Web Vitals improvements, image optimization, caching setup, database cleanup, and server configuration for existing WordPress sites that have grown slow.

Multi-site

WordPress Multisite Networks

One WordPress installation managing multiple distinct websites — ideal for franchises, agencies, and multi-brand businesses needing centralized control.

WordPress Development Services — Questions Answered

How much does WordPress development cost in Toronto?
Custom WordPress development services in Toronto typically range from $3,500 for a simple brochure site to $15,000+ for a complex WooCommerce or membership build. Our projects are scoped clearly upfront — no surprise invoices. View our pricing →
Do you build custom WordPress themes or use page builders?
Both, depending on the project. For high-performance sites, we build custom themes from scratch using PHP, ACF, and the block editor. For faster-turnaround projects, we work with Elementor or Kadence — but always with clean, documented code and no unnecessary plugin bloat.
Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?
Yes. We migrate sites from Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, and legacy CMS platforms — preserving URLs, setting up 301 redirects correctly, and ensuring SEO continuity throughout. We've handled 40+ migrations without a single ranking drop.
Will my WordPress site be optimized for SEO?
Every WordPress development services project we deliver includes technical SEO as a foundation — clean URL structures, schema markup, correct heading hierarchy, fast Core Web Vitals, mobile optimization, and Yoast or RankMath configured correctly from day one. SEO isn't an add-on. It's built in.
