WordPress Development That Starts with Strategy, Not Templates

We design, build, and integrate WordPress sites for B2B businesses, starting with your team and goals, then choosing the right platform and approach.

Clients Who Trust Us

WordPress Problems That Land on Our Desk Regularly

Most of these conversations start the same way. A client has a WordPress site; something is wrong with it, and the person who built it is either unavailable or has moved on. If one of these sounds familiar, we have seen it before.

WordPress site that worked at launch, breaks constantly now

We build on lean, well-structured themes and keep plugin using intentionally rather than additive. Every site we deliver comes with a documented maintenance plan and an update protocol your team can follow, or we can manage under a retainer.

The brief says WordPress, but nobody asked why

We ask the question before we start. What does your team need to do with this site? How is your content managed? What tools does it need to connect to? If WordPress is the right answer after that conversation, we build it properly. If it is not, we say so.

03

The developer built it. Nobody on the team can edit it.

We design the CMS setup around the people who will use it. Block editor, custom fields, and page templates are configured for the marketing team, not for a developer. After handover, the team can run the site independently.

04

The custom theme looks great and performs terribly

Performance requirements are part of our build spec before development starts. Core Web Vitals targets, image optimization standards, caching configuration, and load time benchmarks are defined and tested throughout, not reviewed after launch.

05

Integrations were bolted on rather than designed in

We plan integrations before development begins. Whether that is HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, GA4, or other tools in the stack, we connect them properly, test them against real scenarios, and document how they are configured.

The redesign was done. The SEO was not thought about until after.

We run a full SEO audit before any redesign work begins. URL mapping, redirect planning, metadata migration, Core Web Vitals baseline, and post-launch monitoring are part of the delivery, not an afterthought.

What Our WordPress Development Services Cover

WordPress engagements can be narrow or broad depending on what is needed. Here is what we offer and what each part actually involves

WordPress Strategy and Discovery

The brief that arrives usually describes what someone wants to build. We spend the first part of every engagement making sure we understand why. What is the site supposed to do, for whom, and what does the current one get wrong? That conversation informs every decision that follows.

Custom WordPress Theme Design and Development

We build bespoke WordPress themes, not adapted from off-the-shelf templates. The design starts in Figma as a proper component system. The development translates that system into a WordPress theme that is clean, documented, and maintainable by someone other than the person who wrote it.

WordPress CMS Setup and Content Management

A WordPress site your marketing team can actually use. We configure the block editor, custom fields, and page templates around the workflows your team has, not around what was easiest to build. After handover, a non-technical editor can update the site without a developer on call.

WooCommerce Development

For B2B and B2C businesses selling online. Product catalogues, custom pricing, checkout flows, and payment gateway integration. We scope the commercial requirements first and build the WooCommerce setup around them.

WordPress Plugin Development

Sometimes a plugin exists that does what you need. Sometimes it does not, or the available options carry too much overhead for too little value. We build custom plugins when the requirement justifies it and documents them properly so any competent developer can maintain them.

WordPress Performance and Core Web Vitals

A slow WordPress site is a design and development failure, not a hosting problem. We set performance targets before development begins and test against them throughout. Core Web Vitals, image optimization, caching, and load time are part of the build spec, not a post-launch audit.

WordPress SEO and Migration

If you are redesigning an existing WordPress site, the SEO migration is a project in its own right. URL mapping, redirect planning, metadata migration, structured data, and post-launch monitoring. A redesign that costs you organic traffic is a project that failed.

WordPress Security and Maintenance

Most WordPress security problems are avoidable with update discipline and a sensible hosting setup. We advise security posture as part of every delivery and offer maintenance retainers that keep the site updated, monitored, and recoverable.

WordPress Integration with Marketing Stack

HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, GA4, and Tag Manager. We connect the site to your marketing stack during the build, not as a post-launch task. Every integration is tested against real scenarios before go-live.

What Clients Actually Hire Us For

Subheading: Every project starts somewhere different. These are the engagements we run most often.

Our Process, Explained

We follow the same structure on every WordPress project. What changes is the depth of each phase based on what the project requires.

Step 01

Discovery

Business goals, target audience, current site audit, CMS requirements, integration needs, and a conversation with the people who will actually manage the site after launch. We need to understand how the site will be used before we can design it well.

Step 02

Information architecture and wireframes

Site map, page hierarchy, user flows, and low-fidelity wireframes for the key pages. The conversion logic and content structure are agreed before visual design starts. Every change at this stage costs a fraction of what it costs to change later.

Step 03

Visual design

High-fidelity mockups in Figma, built as a component system. Two structured rounds of feedback with defined approval gates. After signing off, changes go into a post-launch backlog rather than reopening the design phase.

Step 04

Development

Custom themes build on the agreed component system. Plugin selection kept intentional. Performance, accessibility, and SEO requirements defined in the spec and tested throughout the build, not audited at the end.

Step 05

Integration and testing

Marketing stack integrations are connected and tested against real scenarios. Cross-device and cross-browser testing. Accessibility review against WCAG 2.1 AA. Security baseline check. Performance benchmarked against agreed targets.

Step 01

Launch and handover

Phased launch with a defined go-live checklist. CMS training for the team who will manage the site. Documentation covering the theme, plugins, integrations, and the update procedures your team will need. The benchmark: a marketing manager can update the site without a developer.

Not Sure Whether Your Current WordPress Site Needs a Rebuild or a Fix?

We tell you what the actual problem is and what the right response looks like. That is usually a more useful starting point than a proposal

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does WordPress development cost?

We do not publish pricing because the scope of a WordPress project varies too much for a number to be honest without context. A five-page brochure site on a clean WordPress build is a different engagement from a custom WooCommerce platform with third-party integrations. We provide fixed-price proposals after discovery. If you have a budget, tell us in the first call and we will scope it or tell you clearly if it is not realistic.

How long does a WordPress website take to build?

A focused brochure site with content ready and approvals moving is six to eight weeks. A larger site with custom functionality, e-commerce, or a content migration takes twelve to sixteen weeks. We share a fixed timeline after discovery, once scope is agreed.

Should we use WordPress or another CMS?

It depends on what your team needs to do with the site and what your broader tool stack looks like. WordPress is the right answer when you need maximum flexibility, a large plugin ecosystem, and a CMS that most marketing teams can operate without training. It may not be the right answer if you are already running HubSpot and want CMS, CRM, and automation in one place, or if your governance requirements are complex. We have that conversation before we recommend anything.

What is custom WordPress development?

Custom WordPress development means building a bespoke theme and, where needed, custom functionality rather than adapting an off-the-shelf theme or assembling a site from premade page builder components. The difference shows performance, maintainability, and how well the site reflects the brand. Custom builds take longer and cost more. They are also more reliable over time and easier to extend.

Can you take over a WordPress site that someone else built?

Yes, and it is one of the more common requests we get. We audit the site, document what exists, and assess what is worth keeping versus what needs replacing. Most sites we inherit have a combination of the two. We do not insist on rebuilding from scratch if what exists can be stabilized and improved.

How do you handle WordPress security?

Most WordPress security problems are preventable. We set up managed hosting with automatic backups, configure user access correctly, select plugins with good security records, and establish an update protocol. We also advise on additional security tooling where the risk profile justifies it. For ongoing security, we offer maintenance retainers that keep the site updated and monitored.

Can you connect WordPress to HubSpot, Salesforce, or Marketo?

Yes. We connect WordPress to HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Pardot, GA4, and Tag Manager as part of the build. Every integration is configured and tested before go-live. If forms are not creating contacts in the CRM, or if analytics events are not firing correctly, the project is not finished.

Do you build WooCommerce sites?

Yes. WooCommerce is the right choice for businesses that need e-commerce functionality within a WordPress environment. We scope the commercial requirements first: catalogue structure, pricing logic, payment gateways, and any custom checkout flows. The build follows the requirements, not from a generic WooCommerce setup.

What happens after the site launches?

We offer maintenance retainers covering plugin and theme updates, security monitoring, performance checks, and content changes. We can also work on a project basis for specific post-launch work. We train the team before handover, so the day-to-day management does not require an agency.

Why choose TransFunnel as a WordPress development company?

We are not a WordPress-only studio. We are a consultancy that builds on WordPress when it is the right platform for the requirements. That means we think about the site in the context of the business, the marketing stack, and the team who will run it. The build reflects those requirements rather than a generic WordPress template. And we connect the finished site to the tools that need to track what it produces.
