PPC Review from Jim Curry
At first, a survey was conducted to gather company background, product information, target markets, etc. Next, accounts were established on various Google Business platforms, social media, etc. Then SmartSites created the ads and campaigns, and we were off and running in just a few weeks.

SEO Review from Steve Zimmer
My company has been around since before the internet became a thing. We worked with Webfeat in the early days and were then lured away by low prices and high promises. Big mistake! After years of bouncing around we returned to Webfeat. We measure our results and can see the affect Webfeat has on my business. For years now we have had all the work we can handle. The people at Webfeat are extremely competent and helpful. They are always willing to help.I no longer worry about marketing, SEO or my website. They handle it all and my pipeline is full.I highly recommend.

We've worked with Thunder::tech to replace our cooperative's website. They have delivered as promised and more than expected in a professional and timely manner. Their team members are creative, technical and professional experts. We're looking forward to working on a second phase of the project with them starting soon. T::T is big enough a agency that they have multiple experts on the team with overlapping knowledge to get the job done, but not such a huge company where one might get lost as a client. As a web and digital media pro with 20+ years of experience, I recommend Thunder::tech. - JF

The most horrible people! They are very reckless, don’t show up to appointments. Not once, not twice but thrice. You call to ask they dodge your calls.Don’t expect call backs. I went to Derek and texted him several times about this and asked to call. Nothing! Figured a month would be long enough. Don’t waste your time on these people

I knew Stream9 would be a long-term partner when they jumped in to resolve a critical hosting and website issue while I was out of pocket with limited resources. They investigated and solved the problem within minutes, preventing major downtime.Since then, they’ve supported me across a range of projects—from web design and maintenance to spam mitigation, CRM integrations, API connections, and hosting. Their team brings the right mix of technical skill and strategic thinking to every project.They’re organized, responsive, thoughtful, and incredibly easy to work with!

DesignRush sustains a directory of over 30,000 agencies categorized by service category, location, expertise, and reviews. We build our database in two ways:
- Our dedicated team of agency experts actively searches the web for top-performing companies. We then pull information from their websites, online presence, and client testimonials to verify their status and qualifications prior to listing.

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
WordPress Web Design Company FAQs
What is a WordPress web design company?
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.Â
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.Â
They may also provide WordPress SEO, performance tuning, mobile responsiveness, security features, and ongoing maintenance or support to keep the site running smoothly.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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:Â
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.Â
Additional costs include:Â Â
- Premium themes: $2 – $200Â
- Plugins: $5 – $1,000Â
- SSL certificates: $7 – $1,000/yearÂ
- Hosting: $1.99 – $77.99/monthÂ
- Domain names: $0.99 – $25/yearÂ
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.Â
The timeline depends on project size, content readiness, feedback speed, and whether you need custom development or third-party integrations.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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:Â
- Can you show examples of WordPress sites you’ve built? – Reveals their experience and design quality.Â
- What’s included in your design and development package? – Clarifies scope, deliverables, and avoids surprise costs.Â
- How do you handle mobile responsiveness and SEO? – Ensures your site performs well and ranks in search engines.Â
- Who owns the site and content after launch? – Confirms your control over the website long-term.Â
- 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.Â
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.Â
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. Â
Gabriel Shaoolian brings over 25 years of industry expertise in enhancing brands through exceptional digital experiences.
