Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a WordPress agency do?
A WordPress agency provides a comprehensive suite of web design and development services tailored to the WordPress platform. This includes bespoke website design, WordPress web development, branding, technical SEO, WooCommerce integration, and ongoing support and maintenance.
A specialist WordPress agency like Cude Design works exclusively on WordPress, which means deeper technical expertise and better results than a generalist digital agency that builds across multiple platforms.
How long does a bespoke WordPress website take to build
A fully bespoke WordPress website typically takes 12 to 16 weeks from discovery to site live, covering design, development, testing, and launch. This timeline allows for interactive prototyping and approval of all page designs before development begins, thorough QA across devices and browsers, and a structured launch process.
More complex websites with custom integrations or larger content volumes may take longer. We provide a clear project management timeline at the start of every website project.
Do you offer bespoke design or premium theme development?
We offer both. Bespoke web design is built from scratch around your branding and business goals, with no pre-made templates used as a starting point. This delivers the highest performance and greatest flexibility. Premium theme development uses a carefully selected theme as a foundation, which is then configured and customised by our development agency team.
Both approaches are fully designed and developed by our team and include custom design work rather than simply deploying a theme out of the box. We provide clear recommendations on which approach suits your website based on your goals and budget.
Is SEO included in your WordPress web design service?
Yes. Technical SEO is built into our design and development process for every WordPress website we build. This includes site architecture planning, URL structure, internal linking, page speed and performance optimisation, and schema markup.
For clients who need ongoing SEO services and campaigns after launch, we offer dedicated WordPress SEO services as a separate engagement.
How much does a WordPress website design cost?
WordPress web design costs depend on the complexity of your project, the level of custom design and development required, and whether you need branding, WooCommerce integration, or other specialist services.
A straightforward brochure WordPress website with a completely bespoke design typically starts from around £3,000, while a premium theme starts at £1,500. More complex websites with custom web development, integrations, and larger content structures start at £7,500. We provide a detailed, itemised proposal for every project following a free consultation.
Do you offer ongoing support after my WordPress website launches?
Yes. Ongoing support and a maintenance plan are central to how we work. We believe every WordPress website is a long-term asset that requires ongoing care to stay secure, up to date, and performing well.
Our maintenance plan options start from £70 per month and cover WordPress core updates, plugin updates, security monitoring, and support hours for your content team. We are your WordPress agency partner for the long haul, not just for the initial website build.
Can you redesign my current WordPress site?
Yes. Redesigning an existing WordPress site is one of our most common requests. We audit your existing website, identify what is and is not working, and recommend the most efficient path to the outcome you need.
Whether that is a targeted refresh of your current design, a complete overhaul of both design and development, or a migration to a new WordPress setup, our web design and development agency team handles the whole process from discovery through to launch and ongoing support.
