How much does a website on WordPress cost?

Key factors influencing the price of a website on WordPress

Size and complexity of the project:

Websites can vary significantly in size and complexity. Simple business card or landing pages contain basic information and usually have a maximum of a few pages. Company and multipage websites, on the other hand, which have more subpages and more advanced functionality, require more work and resources. Expanded websites, which can have dozens of subpages and many additional features, are much more complex and often require the work of many specialists.

Choosing a template and WordPress plugins:

If you don’t opt for a custom website design, the cost is then affected by the choice of theme (template) and plugins (plugins). Free themes and plugins are available, but you have to pay extra for more advanced themes, custom plugins or full versions of the free ones. This cost may increase if specialized functionality or custom programming of certain elements of the site is required.

Hosting and domain costs:

Hosting and domain are essential components of any website. Their price depends on the specifications of the server and service provider. Domains also vary depending on their endings (e.g., .pl, .com, .eu, .en, .us) and availability.

Content on the site:

When creating a website, we may choose to create properly optimized content. Professional content throughout the website, has a significant impact on the cost of the site. Texts must be written by experienced copywriters and complementary graphic materials prepared by graphic designers to make the site look professional. High-quality content is key to attracting and retaining users on the site.

Execution time:

Immediate completion of the site may incur a higher fee. The time to implement a website, depending on its size, ranges from a dozen to several dozen days.

Additional functionalities:

Websites may require integration with various systems, such as payment systems, external newsletter systems or external databases. Such integrations will certainly increase the cost of implementing the site. In addition, we may opt for search engine optimization activities, which also involve regular costs. These days, these activities are crucial to building a site’s visibility in search results and attracting organic traffic.

How does the process of creating a website on WordPress work?

Creating a website on WordPress in cooperation with a software house is a complex process that, for the most complex projects, requires the involvement of many specialists, such as designers, developers, UX and SEO specialists. Step by step, the process goes as follows (of course, it can vary depending on your needs):

1. Needs analysis and consultation

We start by understanding the client’s needs. We inquire about detailed requirements through a brief – a document that specifies business goals, target audience, expected functionality and aesthetic preferences. We hold meetings and workshops to clarify actual expectations. At the same time, a competitive analysis is conducted to understand what solutions others are using and how you can stand out in the market.

2. Planning and design

The design team then proceeds to create mockups and prototypes (if the client has opted for a custom design). These materials are used to visualize the layout of the site, showing where the various elements, such as menus, content, images and forms, will be located. Once the mockups are approved, the team moves on to create the full visual design. This includes the complete design and various views of the site depending on the concept of a particular sub-site – that is, depending on the particular implementation, there are: homepage, sub-sites, and mobile versions.

3. Programming (site development)

In the next step, the development team proceeds with the installation of WordPress on the selected hosting server and based on the approved graphic designs, the target website is created in WordPress. This process, of course, includes the coding of the client’s final and fully functioning website.

Then, it is necessary to integrate the necessary plug-ins that extend the functionality of the site or to code appropriate custom solutions without plug-ins. However, this is a more expensive solution.

Features that WordPress plugins can support are, for example:

• SEO plugins,
• contact forms,
• social media integrations,
• systemy e-commerce,
• analytical tools and more.

Elements such as text, photos, videos and other media are also introduced.

4. Testing and optimization

At this stage, the site undergoes testing. All functionality, compatibility with different browsers and devices, and correct display of content are checked. It is also important to optimize the site for loading speed (technical optimization of the website) and SEO to ensure the best user experience and high visibility in search engines.

5. Implementation and maintenance

The implementation process includes moving the site to the target server and launching it under the chosen domain. In the long run, a maintenance and support service is also available, which includes regular updates, security monitoring, backups and support in case of technical problems. In this way, the investor can be sure that the site will run smoothly and securely.
