WordPress Website Development Built for SEO From Day One
A new website is the best chance to get SEO right. I build fast, clean WordPress sites with the structure, schema, and content plan needed to rank, without page-builder bloat or plugins you don't need.
The problem
Most new sites launch with SEO problems built in.
Many websites are designed first and optimized later. By then, the structure is fixed, the theme is heavy, and the content was written without keyword research. Fixing it afterward costs more than building it right.
Redesigns are risky too. Without a redirect plan, a new site can lose rankings it took years to earn.
A site built with SEO in mind starts with keyword research and page planning, uses a lightweight theme, and includes technical foundations like schema, sitemaps, and speed from launch day.
My approach
Plan the pages, build them lean, launch them ready.
Every build starts with a sitemap based on keyword research: which pages you need, what each one targets, and how they link. Design follows that structure, so your best pages are easy to find for visitors and search engines.
I build on a lightweight theme, keep plugins to what's needed, and configure Yoast, schema, caching, and security before launch. You get a site that's fast, easy to edit, and ready to grow.

What does the $2,500 starting price include?
A professionally designed WordPress site of around 5 to 8 pages with SEO setup, speed optimization, and training. Larger sites, e-commerce, and custom functionality are quoted separately.
Do you write the content?
Copywriting can be included or added. If you provide content, I'll optimize it for SEO before launch.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes. I build with WordPress's block editor and give you a training session and guide.
What about hosting?
I'll recommend reliable hosting suited to your traffic and budget. Hosting is paid directly by you, so you own the account.
Will a redesign hurt my rankings?
Not if it's planned properly. I map every old URL to a new one and monitor rankings after launch. See Site Migration SEO for complex moves.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes. WordPress Maintenance and Management starts at $350 per month.
