When Clients Call Us Urgently

If one of these sounds familiar, this is where we step in.

We start with a site audit covering speed, security, plugins, and search basics, then give you a written plan.

Your Site Is Slow and Plugins Keep Piling Up

Too many plugins, heavy page builders, and oversized images slow pages down. We audit what each plugin does, replace or remove the heavy ones, and fix hosting and caching settings. Slow pages cost you visitors and leads.

The Site Was Hacked or Keeps Breaking After Updates

Outdated plugins and weak admin settings are common entry points. We clean and restore the site, test updates on a staging copy first, and tighten access and backups. A hacked site damages trust and can drop out of search results.

Editing a Page Takes a Developer

If content changes need code, we rebuild page templates with flexible blocks, so your team edits copy and layouts on its own. Every wait for a developer delays a campaign.

Your Theme Is Abandoned, or a Page Builder Locks You In

We move the design to a clean custom theme, rebuild the plugin features you rely on, and keep your content and URLs intact. That protects the traffic you already earn.

WordPress Development Services

Six kinds of WordPress web development we deliver, for new sites and existing ones.

Custom WordPress Themes

Themes built from your design, with reusable blocks and templates, so pages stay consistent and easy to edit.

Plugin Development and Customization

Custom plugins for booking, memberships, forms, and business rules, plus fixes to plugins you already use.

CMS and Editing Workflows

Content types, user roles, and approval steps for teams with many editors.

Third-Party Integrations

Connect WordPress to CRMs, payment tools, email platforms, and other systems through their APIs.

Speed, Security, and Maintenance

Performance tuning, updates, backups, monitoring, and support on a monthly retainer or on demand.

Testing and Launch Support

Cross-browser and device checks, staging sites, and safe go-lives for redesigns and migrations.

Case Studies

Ultrastiff

Manufacturing / Decorative Surface Panels

Ultrastiff manufactures the hard part well – 15+ textures, real metal finishes, decorative panels for cladding, ceilings, and architectural facades. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: too many combinations to browse as static photos, and no way to serve architects and general buyers with genuinely different needs on the same pages.

VJ Cuisine

Food & Hospitality / Private Chef Service

VJ Cuisine’s chef does the hard part well – fresh, small-batch meal plans, boutique catering, private dinners, culinary gifting, built on a personal story and hands-on craft. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: several distinct services with no clear starting point, leaving first-time visitors unsure where to begin or who was behind it.

FAQs

How Much Does WordPress Website Development Cost?

Cost depends on the number of templates, custom features, integrations, content migration, design depth, and whether you need WooCommerce. A theme change costs less than a custom plugin build. We scope each project individually and send an itemized proposal after a consultation.

How Long Does a WordPress Site Take to Build?

It depends on the number of page templates, custom features, integrations, and how much content moves over. We give a timeline after scoping and split it into milestones, so you can review the staging site as it grows. A focused launch ships sooner than a full rebuild.

How Will We Review the Site While It Is Being Built?

You get a staging link to click through from the first sprint. We agree overlap hours at kickoff and report through Slack, email, and video calls, with a short demo after each milestone. Syndell has offices in Middletown, Delaware, Manchester, UK, and Ahmedabad, India.

Can WordPress Handle Enterprise Sites?

Yes, with the right setup. Large publishers and companies run WordPress at scale using managed hosting, caching, a content delivery network, and disciplined plugin choices. Enterprise needs such as single sign-on, multisite, role approvals, and audit trails are built with plugins or custom code, which we scope first.

How Do You Keep a WordPress Site Secure?

We update core, themes, and plugins on a staging copy before production, limit admin access, use strong authentication, and keep tested backups. Abandoned plugins get replaced, since they are a common way in for attackers. Syndell is ISO 27001 certified, and security checks are part of each sprint.

Can You Redesign or Migrate Our Site Without Losing Search Rankings?

We map every old URL to its new one with redirects, keep titles, headings, and metadata where they still fit, test on staging, and monitor search results after launch. Content and rankings should move with the site, though short-term shifts can happen.

Should We Use WordPress or a Site Builder Like Webflow?

Choose WordPress when you need many editors, custom features, or WooCommerce. Choose a visual builder when a small team wants design control and a fast launch. We build on both, so we recommend after reviewing your content and plans. See our Webflow page.
