Your Top 7 WordPress Development Questions Answered

Below are seven of the most common questions I get about WordPress development, web design, and SEO. If you’re a small business planning a new site (or rebuilding an old one), these FAQs will help you understand what to expect and how to choose the right approach.

  1. What is WordPress development?

    WordPress development is the process of building and improving a website using WordPress. It can include custom theme development, plugin customisation, integrations, performance tuning, security hardening, and ongoing maintenance. Done properly, WordPress development also considers UX and SEO foundations so your site loads fast, works smoothly on mobile, and drives enquiries.

  2. How much does WordPress development cost?

    Cost depends on scope, quality, and the level of custom work required. A simple small-business brochure site is very different to a custom build with conversion-focused pages, SEO structure, and integrations. Experienced WordPress development is often priced at $70+ per hour, or quoted as a fixed project fee with optional ongoing support. My approach is straightforward: I quote a realistic project range upfront, then use an hourly rate for ongoing improvements and support.

  3. Can WordPress development include SEO?

    Yes-when SEO is built into the build, not bolted on later. WordPress can rank extremely well when the foundations are done properly: clean code, fast templates, correct headings, smart internal linking, schema, and technical SEO best practices. For many small businesses, combining development and SEO in one streamlined process keeps everything consistent and avoids gaps between “build” and “marketing”.dney that work wonders with SEO. If budget is your constraint, I am your go to WordPress developer and SEO.

  4. How long does WordPress development take?

    Timelines depend on complexity and what “quality” means for your business. Some websites can be launched quickly using pre-made themes, but that often limits flexibility and long-term performance. For a custom small-business build with planning, design, development, testing, and optimisation, a typical timeframe is 4–6 weeks.

  5. What’s the difference between WordPress development and WordPress design?

    Design focuses on layout, visual style, and user experience. Development focuses on how the site is built: code quality, speed, security, structure, and custom functionality. The best outcomes happen when both work together so the website looks premium and performs properly.

  6. Why WP Guru for WordPress development?

    WP Guru is built for small businesses that want long-term growth, not just a website that “looks nice”. You get a WordPress build that’s conversion-led, engineered for speed, and structured for SEO from day one-plus practical support as your business scales. The goal is simple: strong value for every dollar you invest and a site that keeps working for you.
