Digital Marketing Review from Rebecca Zeni
I had a great experience working with Kim at Motion PR. I am a small business so she was able to tailor her expertise to my needs. I would highly recommend her.
Digital Marketing Review from Paul Litardo
Motion PR has a great staff and a great leader in Kim Eberl. My experience the past several months have been great. I recommend Motion PR to everyone.
Digital Marketing Review from Rita Dragonette
I've had the pleasure of working with Motion as both colleague and client. As a colleague I was referred to them for a number of my CEO clients. The high-level coverage they were able to secure was very instrumental in significantly raising the profile of those clients and helping them attract the opportunities they were after. As a client, Motion was able to quickly and innovatively operationalize a successful social giving program to fund a scholarship I started as part of the launch for my new novel. The response was terrific for book awareness and quickly became fully funded. The agency is highly responsive, the staff skilled and engaging. Terrific client service.

Software Development Review from Shaun Bennie
Co-funding’s collaboration with Smartym Pro began from discovery stage and design services for our online investor automation platform. In these initial stages Smartym demonstrated great skill and aptitude which convinced us to appoint them for the full MVP development part of the project. Smartym Pro’s team offered their vision to improve the quality of the delivered product. They met all deadlines and were keen to give great advice. It was a pleasure to work with Smartym Pro’s team.
Outsourcing Review from Aleksander Stepanowicz
The Smartym Pro’s team has solid experience in development of web/mobile apps, blockchain platforms and smart contracts. We collaborate with Smartym Pro since June 2018 on 4 projects and are satisfied so far. The team is aware of cutting edge trends in emerging technologies and demonstrate willingness to contribute to the projects in an informal and creative way. And what is very important for us they tend to meet deadlines.

Lucy & Tia from Massive have been wonderful to work with for our firm's new website. Very responsive and helpful with all inquiries. Would recommend working with them!
Robert Dale's Review Sourced from Google
Our company has been working with Massive and the Cadence team on a go-to-market strategy and have been so happy with the results. They've helped us craft an amazing brand campaign and set up photoshoots and videoshoots. They've also helped us with our SEO and running our Google and Meta ads. The entire team is so helpful and creative, and you can tell they have a passion for what they're doing. We really enjoy working with them and would recommend them highly!
CIF VCH's Review Sourced from Google
We have just launched a fresh new version of our program website and could not be happier with the web design + development by the team at Massive. From start to finish, Lucy our project manager was there to link us to the work of the rest of her team. Our questions were addressed in a timely manner and the folks at Massive also extended internal deadlines to meet our needs. We really felt heard, and appreciated the time the team took to learn about us and our work, they made it very safe for us to “hand over the keys”. The whole design process was a great experience for our team and together we built a site that exceeded our expectations.

Worked with Microknot over a period of 4 months to build a financial simulation & visualization of supply chain activities. Microknot architect and engineers provided the framework, design & setup on Azure and the development activities. It was a great experience working with them!
Kel A's Review Sourced from Google
The EDI system that Microknot created was a little slow to start up due to the complexity of our system. But it's now reached a point where it's saving me time with our orders. The team were prompt in responding to emails & were a pleasure to work with.
Dave Philips's Review Sourced from Google
We have enjoyed working with Jag, Shaun, and several of Microknot's developers over the past 18 months. The Microknot team has allowed us to accelerate the time to market for our platform, translating to money in the bank and added scale to our internal development team without the risks, time delays, and costs associated with hiring new staff.Microknot's professionalism in managing our project has also lifted the game for our internal team. Not only have they delivered a great product outcome, but we've also learned a lot about different technologies and effective s/ware PM methodology in the process.The Microknot team have been responsive, easy to work with, delivered every sprint on time, and significantly contributed to guiding our application in the right direction.I can't thank the team at Microknot enough for their contribution to Biode, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to any business looking for a trusted development partner.

Everything you need to know before you hire dedicated WordPress developer
What can a custom WordPress development company do for my business?
Entering a partnership with a WordPress agency can help you elevate your digital presence and make the website a lucrative business asset.
By engineering bespoke themes and custom-coded plugins, a WordPress expert can make sure your website possesses the functionality required to outperform the competition.
WordPress developers have access to enterprise-grade security protocols which can effectively shield your site from vulnerabilities.
Beyond mere aesthetics, they also implement advanced SEO architectures and schema markups that can improve your visibility across search engine results pages.
Your operations will also become more streamlined as your WordPress website gets connected with practical business tools, such as CRM systems and automated marketing tools via APIs.
As part of the service, WordPress development companies provide around-the-clock monitoring, thus liberating your internal team to allocate more time on core commercial activities.
Do I need to buy hosting separately?
Yes, hosting comes as a separate offering. You can either get hosting via your dedicated WordPress developer or through an external provider. There are pros and cons to both options:
- Agency-managed hosting
Many high-end agencies include hosting as part of a care plan or maintenance retainer. The main advantage of this option is that if the site goes down, the agency handles the problem. The caveat is that you may pay a premium for the service, and should you choose to leave the agency, migrating the site will require a transition of ownership. - Direct-to-provider option
Purchasing your own hosting will give you absolute ownership of your digital assets. If you decide to go with this option, it’s recommended to go for a managed WordPress hosting, rather than shared. When looking into providers, look for companies that offer server-level caching, daily automated backups, a staging environment for testing updates, and a free SSL certificate.
How do I choose the best WordPress developer for my project?
To choose the best WordPress agency for your site, follow some of these steps:
- Clarify your needs
Have a clear understanding of whether you need a completely new website, a redesign, or specific functionalities enriched into the site. - Review past work for relevant experience
Check WordPress developers’ portfolio and review their previous projects for diversity, style, capabilities, and any relevant experience in your industry. - Check online reviews
Read reviews and testimonials on third-party sites like Google and DesignRush to get informed about the agency's deadline adherence, professionalism, work ethic, and development quality. - Ask about their communication
During the interview, ask WordPress agencies about their preferred communication channels and frequency of updates to learn how often will you receive status updates. - Discuss post-launch expectations
Ask if the agency offers post-launch support, be it for maintenance, technical issues, content updates, or security patches. - Ask about the pricing structure
Evaluate their pricing, understand what is included in the price, and inquire about potential add-on costs.
How can I find the best specialist on DesignRush that fits my budget?
We compiled a list of WordPress development companies across different price points to help you find a vendor that’s within your spending expectations:
| High price: $50,000 |
|
| Low price: $25,000 to $50,000 |
|
What questions should I ask WordPress developers before hiring one?
Before you hire WordPress developer, consider asking some of the following questions:
Relevant Background
- How long have you been working with WordPress?
- What kinds of projects and industries do you specialize in?
- Do you have recent projects or case studies that are relevant to my industry or needs?
Services and Processes
- How experienced are you with custom theme or plugin development?
- How do you approach hosting and setting up a WordPress site?
- Do you follow the coding standards for WordPress?
- What post-launch support and maintenance packages do you offer?
- How do you handle updates, security patches, and potential website issues?
Related to Your Project
- Will I have the full rights to my site?
- Will my website be optimized for SEO?
- Will my WordPress site have a backup and restore functionality?
- How can you make my website more accessible?

Frequently Asked Questions About WordPress Development Companies
What services do WordPress developers provide?
A WordPress agency provides customization and website development services for the world's most popular open-source content management system (CMS) WordPress. Key services of these specialists include bespoke WordPress theme, features, and WordPress plugin development, website setup, platform migration, UI/UX implementations, performance optimization, and security implementations.
They also conduct technical tuning pertaining to database management, API integration, site migration, and maintenance.
How much do these specialists charge for their services?
Depending on the complexity, WordPress agencies charge from $500 to $30,000 per project. Namely, simple WordPress sites range from $500 to $5,000, while fully custom-built sites with advanced features may cost between $5,000 and $30,000.
The prices are overall determined based on the design, functionality, SEO, and developer expertise. Each phase also entails different prices:
- Planning and discovery: $1,000 to $5,000
- Design: $3,000 to $10,000
- Development: $5,000 to $20,000
- Testing and launch: $2,000 to $5,000
How long does it take for a WordPress development company to create a custom website?
On average, a custom WordPress website requires 6 to 12 weeks for complete development. Conversely, simple blogs with out-of-box WordPress theme, basic customization, only essential plugins, and basic content setup can be done in a week.
In the same low complexity tier also fall basic business websites, minimalistic blogs, and simple portfolio sites built with themes and minimal customization, which can be done in 1 to 3 weeks.
Brochure websites with 5-10 pages, contact forms, and basic SEO setup usually take a week or two. WordPress developers also often work on business sites with standard features like contact forms, galleries, standard features, and basic eCommerce functionality, which typically fall within the 2 to 3-week range.
What is included in website maintenance?
Maintenance packages usually cover WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security backups, and sometimes content updates or technical support hours. Full-service plans extend to uptime monitoring and malware scanning to protect the site against downtime and external threats.
Some WordPress developers also offer performance optimization and database cleanup to maintain optimal loading speeds and a pleasant user experience.
What are the most effective website security measures that WordPress developers take?
When putting up a security setup for a new client, WordPress agencies primarily start with strengthening the core and securing the server. To further secure the parameters, they limit access and monitor the site to mitigate common risks like brute force attacks, SQL injections, and malware attacks.
The most effective website security measures that top WordPress developers undertake include:
- Update management: Regularly patching WordPress core, functionalities, themes, and plugins to the latest versions
- Secure hosting: Using managed WordPress hosting with server-level security, such as isolated server environments (jailing) and proactive DDoS protection.
- SSL/HTTPS everywhere: Forcing HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
- Off-site, automated backups: Implementing daily, automated backups that are stored in an independent location for prompt recovery if the server is compromised.
- Removing unused assets: Deleting, rather than just deactivating, unused plugins and themes to reduce the attack surface.
