Our old site was slow and outdated. First Rank rebuilt it on WordPress with modern design and lightning-fast performance. Traffic is up 200% and we're finally ranking on Google!

Why WordPress? Why First Rank?

WordPress powers 43% of the web for good reason. It's flexible, SEO-friendly, easy to update, and infinitely customizable. But most WordPress sites are slow, bloated, and poorly built. We build lean, fast, SEO-optimized WordPress sites that outperform the competition. Every site we create is custom-tailored to your business goals, industry, and target audience.

Our WordPress Development Services

Custom WordPress Theme Development

We design and code custom WordPress themes from scratch. No generic templates. Your site will be unique, on-brand, and built to convert. Full control over every pixel, every interaction.

WooCommerce Development

Sell online with WooCommerce, the world's most popular ecommerce platform. We build custom WooCommerce stores with advanced product filtering, custom checkout flows, payment gateway integration, and inventory management.

WordPress Performance Optimization

Slow sites lose customers. We optimize WordPress sites for speed: image compression, lazy loading, CDN integration, caching layers, database optimization, and lean code. Your site will load in under 2 seconds.

WordPress SEO Development

We build SEO into every WordPress site from day one. Clean code, semantic HTML, optimized schema markup, fast load times, mobile-first responsive design, and best-practice IA. Rank higher from launch.

Custom Plugin Development

Need custom functionality? We develop WordPress plugins tailored to your business: membership systems, booking platforms, CRM integrations, custom dashboards, API connections, and proprietary tools.

WordPress Security & Maintenance

WordPress sites need ongoing security updates, backups, malware scanning, and plugin/theme updates. We offer monthly maintenance plans that keep your site secure, fast, and running 24/7.

Our WordPress Development Process

1. Discovery & Strategy

We start by understanding your business goals, target audience, and competitive landscape. We audit your existing site (if applicable), identify opportunities, and create a detailed project roadmap with wireframes, IA, and feature requirements.

2. Design & User Experience

Our designers create a custom UI/UX tailored to your brand and audience. We focus on conversion optimization: clear CTAs, intuitive navigation, mobile-first responsive design, and accessibility best practices. You'll see mockups before we write a single line of code.

3. Development & Testing

We build your WordPress site using clean, modern code. Custom theme development, plugin integration, WooCommerce setup, schema markup, performance optimization, and cross-browser testing. We test on desktop, tablet, and mobile before launch.

4. SEO Optimization & Content

SEO is baked in from the start. We optimize page speed, implement structured data, configure Rank Math or Yoast, create XML sitemaps, set up Google Analytics/Search Console, and ensure mobile-friendly, accessible code. We also write SEO-optimized content if needed.

5. Launch & Ongoing Support

We handle the entire launch process: DNS setup, SSL certificates, CDN configuration, and final testing. After launch, we provide training on how to update content via the WordPress dashboard. Ongoing support and maintenance plans available.

Why Choose WordPress for Your Website?

WordPress isn't just a blogging platform anymore. It's a full-featured CMS that powers everything from small business sites to enterprise ecommerce platforms. Here's why we recommend WordPress for most projects:

SEO-Friendly: WordPress is built with clean, semantic code that Google loves. Plugins like Rank Math make on-page SEO easy. Combined with our technical SEO expertise, your site will rank higher faster.
Easy to Update: You don't need to be a developer to add pages, update content, or upload images. The WordPress dashboard is intuitive and user-friendly. We provide training so your team can manage content independently.
Infinitely Customizable: With 60,000+ plugins and thousands of themes, you can add any functionality imaginable: membership systems, booking calendars, LMS platforms, forums, ecommerce, and more.
Scalable: WordPress scales with your business. Start with a simple 5-page site and grow into a 10,000-page ecommerce platform. Add features as you need them without rebuilding from scratch.
Cost-Effective: WordPress is open-source and free. You only pay for hosting, themes, plugins, and development. Long-term ownership costs are lower than proprietary platforms.

We've built hundreds of WordPress sites across every industry: plumbing, law, dentistry, HVAC, ecommerce, SaaS, and more. Whether you need a simple 5-page brochure site or a complex multi-site ecommerce platform, we have the expertise to deliver.

WordPress Development FAQs

How long does it take to build a WordPress website?

A simple 5-10 page WordPress site typically takes 4-6 weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects (custom themes, WooCommerce stores, membership sites) can take 8-12 weeks. Timeline depends on design complexity, content readiness, and feature requirements.

How much does WordPress development cost?

Simple WordPress sites start around $3,000-$5,000. Custom theme development ranges from $8,000-$15,000. WooCommerce stores start at $10,000+. Enterprise WordPress projects can range from $25,000-$100,000+ depending on complexity. We provide detailed quotes after discovery.

Will I be able to update my WordPress site myself?

Absolutely. WordPress is designed for non-technical users to manage content. We provide training on how to add pages, update text, upload images, and manage plugins. You'll have full control over your content without needing to hire a developer for every update.

Do you use page builders like Elementor or Divi?

We prefer custom-coded themes for performance and flexibility. Page builders add bloat, slow load times, and limit customization. However, if you specifically request a page builder for ease of editing, we can build with Oxygen Builder or Bricks (both are lean and performant).

Is WordPress secure?

Yes, when properly maintained. WordPress core is very secure, but plugins and themes can introduce vulnerabilities. We follow security best practices: strong passwords, SSL certificates, malware scanning, firewall protection, regular updates, and automated backups. Our maintenance plans keep your site secure 24/7.

Can you migrate my existing site to WordPress?

Yes. We've migrated hundreds of sites from Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, custom CMS platforms, and legacy WordPress builds. We handle content migration, URL redirects, SEO preservation, and design improvements. Your rankings and traffic stay intact during the transition.
