WordPress Development in Vancouver

Work with a Vancouver WordPress developer team that builds custom themes, plugins, WooCommerce stores, and full WordPress website design — engineered for speed, security, and long-term maintainability, and hosted right here in Canada if you want it.

  • Custom themes and block patterns — no bloated page-builder lock-in
  • WordPress website design: UX, layout, and build handled by one local team
  • WooCommerce stores with Stripe, shipping, and tax configured properly
  • Plugin development, API integrations, and legacy plugin replacements
  • Site rescues: broken, hacked, or abandoned WordPress sites stabilized
  • Performance and security engineered in from the first commit

What you get

How WordPress Development in Vancouver actually works

Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.

Custom themes

Semantic, accessible, fast themes built on modern WordPress — not bloated page builders.

WordPress website design

Design and development under one roof: wireframes, visual design, and the theme build — no agency-to-freelancer handoff gaps.

Plugin & integrations

WooCommerce, Stripe, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and custom APIs connected cleanly.

Secure by design

Input sanitization, role hygiene, and update discipline baked into the build, not bolted on.

Performance first

Core Web Vitals targeted from day one — not handed off to a caching plugin after launch.

Site rescues

Inherit a broken or slow WordPress site? We triage, stabilize, and lay out a clear modernization plan.

Who it is for

A strong fit for

  • Vancouver businesses replacing a slow or dated WordPress site
  • Companies stuck with a page-builder site that nobody can safely edit
  • Teams that need WooCommerce built or fixed by developers, not templates
  • Organizations whose WordPress developer left — with no documentation
  • Marketing teams that want design and development from one accountable team
  • Businesses migrating to WordPress from Sitefinity, Wix, Squarespace, or static HTML

Our process

How a WordPress project runs

  1. 1

    Scope & estimate

    A short call to map goals, pages, integrations, and content readiness — followed by a written estimate with fixed milestones, not open-ended hourly billing.

  2. 2

    Design

    Sitemap, wireframes, and visual design for the key templates. Existing brands get a design system that editors can extend; new brands get one built.

  3. 3

    Build on staging

    The theme, plugins, and integrations are built on a private staging site. Your live site keeps running untouched until the new one is approved.

  4. 4

    Content & QA

    Content migration, cross-browser and mobile QA, accessibility checks, and Core Web Vitals measurement — with fixes before launch, not after.

  5. 5

    Launch

    DNS cutover, SSL, redirects for any changed URLs, and Search Console verification — launches are scheduled so rankings and forms do not break.

  6. 6

    Handoff or care

    Editor training and documentation, plus optional WordPress care and Canadian hosting so updates, backups, and security stay handled.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does WordPress development cost in Vancouver?
Vancouver freelance WordPress developers typically charge $75–$150 per hour, and agencies more. We quote fixed milestones after a short scoping call: small business sites commonly land in the $3,000–$8,000 range, WooCommerce and custom-plugin projects higher. Smaller fixes and rescues are billed hourly with an estimate approved before work starts.
Do you do WordPress website design as well as development?
Yes — design and development are handled by the same local team. Wireframes, visual design, and the theme build happen under one roof, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a design agency and a separate developer.
Do you build on Elementor, Divi, or Avada?
We can work with them, but prefer lighter custom themes when long-term performance and maintainability matter. If you already run a page builder, we will tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping or replacing.
Can you rebuild a site that is already live?
Yes — we build on a parallel staging site so the live site keeps running until the new one is approved, then handle the cutover with redirects so search rankings carry over.
Can you take over a WordPress site another developer built?
Yes, this is one of the most common requests we get. We start with a code and security audit, document what exists, fix the riskiest problems first, and give you a realistic keep-or-rebuild recommendation.
Do you build WooCommerce stores?
Yes — product setup, Stripe and PayPal payments, Canadian taxes and shipping, and custom checkout flows. We also rescue WooCommerce stores with broken checkouts, slow product pages, or plugin conflicts.
How long does a WordPress project take?
Most marketing sites ship in 4–8 weeks from kickoff depending on content readiness and integrations. WooCommerce and custom-plugin work typically runs 6–12 weeks. Rescues and smaller fixes are often done within days.
Who maintains the site after launch?
Your choice. Every build ships with editor training and documentation so your team can run it. Most clients add a WordPress care plan — updates, backups, monitoring, and small fixes — and many host with us in Canada so one team is accountable for everything.
