Website Redesign Review from Anissa Munoz
We had a fantastic experience partnering with Glide to redesign our website. From the very beginning, their team showed a genuine interest in understanding the mission and work of the Center for Child Protection. This thoughtful approach allowed them to tailor the site better to meet the needs of our diverse audiences.
Their expertise in web design was evident throughout the process, and they worked closely with us to ensure the final product was impactful and user-friendly. Having Paola as our Project Manager was a huge asset—she kept everything on track and ensured we met all of our deadlines on both sides.
We were especially impressed by Glide’s passion for supporting nonprofits, which aligns with their values as a certified B Corporation. It made the collaboration even more meaningful.

We also really appreciate GLIDE's commitment to working with nonprofits; our project was done on time and on budget. They've continued to provide us with great support on the live site, and we look forward to working with them on any future needs.

Barry Pinto's Review Sourced from Google
Sleepless Media is the kind of web design agency that I've been wanting to work with for years. My company's website was in severe need of a redesign, and we knew that it was going to be a complicated project in terms of content migration, customizations, and attention to detail. I also needed a design agency that could work hand in hand with our SEO people. Fortunately I found Jon and team, who are not only extremely talented web designers but great listeners as well. Also a very patient team - we were far from a well prepared client in terms of having our site content ready to go, but they made the upgrade happen for us regardless. If you have been thinking about a redesign and need a Shopify partner that you can trust, this is your agency. Highest recommendation, and I plan on sending them all of our future web development business.

Victoria Comeau's Review Sourced from Google
I reached out to Sleepless Media after the company I originally chose to work with to transition from BigCommerce to Shopify did an awful job. What was supposed to be a three month project was now a year and a half nightmare. The team at Sleepless Media was so knowledgeable, transparent, communicative, and just amazing to work with. If I needed any clarification on anything, they didn’t hesitate to offer to hop on a call with me to make sure I knew what was going on. Every member of the team I have interacted with has been nothing but amazing. I can’t recommend Sleepless Media enough. The work they do is top notch, and worth every dollar. If you work with them, you know the project is going to be done and it’s going to be done exceptionally.

Mobile App Development Review from Joseph Rudolph
We engaged Leo Coders several weeks ago to undertake the development of our application. Their professionalism and mastery of their craft have left us thoroughly impressed. Despite the intricacy of our project specifications, their team adeptly engineered our application from the ground up in under two months, a feat we initially estimated to require six to eight months. Furthermore, they graciously provided us with a few extra weeks for beta testing and marketing, which significantly contributed to our launch success. We are exceedingly pleased with their expeditious delivery and commend their team for their exceptional performance. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Leo Coders for any technical solution needs."

A WordPress web design company specializes in building websites using the WordPress platform. They design, develop, and customize WordPress themes and plugins to create sites that match a client’s brand, goals, and functionality needs.
These companies often handle everything from layout and user experience to mobile responsiveness, SEO setup, and ongoing support or maintenance. And with 43.4% of all websites powered by WordPress, the demand for skilled WordPress web design companies is naturally huge.
What does a WordPress web design company do?
A WordPress web design company creates custom websites using the WordPress platform. They handle site planning, design, theme customization, plugin setup, and content integration.
They may also provide WordPress SEO, performance tuning, mobile responsiveness, security features, and ongoing maintenance or support to keep the site running smoothly.
Who should hire a WordPress web design company?
Small to mid-sized businesses, startups, bloggers, and nonprofits often hire WordPress web design companies to build professional, scalable websites without the cost of custom development.
It’s ideal for anyone who needs a reliable, easy-to-manage site with features like blogs, e-commerce, booking systems, or portfolios, especially if they want room to grow over time.
What are the top-rated WordPress web design companies on DesignRush in 2025?
The top-rated WordPress web design companies on DesignRush in 2025 are:
What services do WordPress web design companies offer?
WordPress web design companies offer services like custom theme design, plugin integration, mobile optimization, and site development tailored to business goals.
WordPress web designers may also provide SEO setup, e-commerce integration (using WooCommerce), speed optimization, security hardening, content migration, and ongoing maintenance or support plans.
How much do WordPress web design services cost in 2025?
WordPress web design costs in 2025 vary based on complexity, provider type, and features. Freelancers typically charge $50 to $100 per hour, while agencies may charge $150 to $300 per hour for design and development. Ongoing maintenance ranges from $30 to $80 per hour for freelancers and $100 to $200 per hour for agencies.
How long does it take to design and launch a WordPress website?
A basic, single-page WordPress website can take 2 to 8 days, while a small eCommerce site takes between 5 days and 5 weeks. Enterprise-level sites with custom design and advanced features may take 13 to 22 weeks or more.
The timeline depends on project size, content readiness, feedback speed, and whether you need custom development or third-party integrations.
What qualities should you look for in a WordPress web design company?
Look for a company with a strong WordPress portfolio, proven technical skills, and experience with responsive, SEO-friendly design. They should understand your business goals and be able to recommend the right tools and plugins.
Check for clear communication, transparent pricing, reliable timelines, and post-launch support. A good WordPress web designer will guide you through the process and deliver a site that’s both functional and easy to manage.
What are common mistakes to avoid when hiring a WordPress web design partner?
Avoid choosing a WordPress web designer based solely on low price or appearance without checking their portfolio, technical skills, or client reviews. Cheap options may use bloated themes, insecure plugins, or deliver poor performance.
Don’t skip asking about maintenance, mobile optimization, or ownership of your site. A lack of transparency or unclear contracts can lead to hidden costs, missed deadlines, or limited control over your website.
What should you ask a WordPress web design company before starting a project?
Ask a WordPress web design company the following questions before starting a project:
Can you show examples of WordPress sites you’ve built? – Reveals their experience and design quality.
What’s included in your design and development package? – Clarifies scope, deliverables, and avoids surprise costs.
How do you handle mobile responsiveness and SEO? – Ensures your site performs well and ranks in search engines.
Who owns the site and content after launch? – Confirms your control over the website long-term.
Do you offer ongoing support or maintenance after the project is complete? – Helps plan for updates, backups, and security needs.
How is WordPress web design different from custom-coded website solutions?
WordPress web design uses a flexible, open-source platform with pre-built themes and plugins, making it faster and more cost-effective to launch and manage. It’s ideal for most small to mid-sized websites that need scalability without heavy development.
Custom-coded websites are built from scratch without a CMS like WordPress. They offer more control, unique functionality, and performance optimization—but take longer to develop, cost more, and require ongoing developer support for updates or changes.
What platforms and tools do WordPress web design companies rely on today?
WordPress web design companies use tools like Elementor, WPBakery, and Gutenberg for page building, and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. They rely on themes from ThemeForest, GeneratePress, or Astra for flexible design options.
For performance, security, and SEO, they use plugins like Yoast SEO, WP Rocket, Wordfence, and UpdraftPlus. Development and collaboration tools may include GitHub, Figma, Slack, and Trello.
How legitimate is the content in the hiring guide?
We impose the same quality check on every piece of information we publish, which is why we sought insights from Gabriel Shaoolian, CEO and founder of Digital Silk, a leading web design company. He answered common questions about WordPress web design agencies.
Gabriel Shaoolian brings over 25 years of industry expertise in enhancing brands through exceptional digital experiences. His deep knowledge of web design is grounded in the latest trends and best practices. Additionally, he is a published author on Forbes, where he shares valuable insights on digital marketing and sales strategies.
