WordPress Development in Fort Collins, CO
For clients who need a site that's easy to update themselves — on the CMS everyone already knows.
What It Is
WordPress powers roughly 40% of the web, which means your clients know how to use it, your developer pool is deep, and plugins exist for almost everything. That's not a reason to avoid it — it's a reason to build on it correctly.
Most WordPress sites are theme installs with too many plugins and no clear architecture. A custom build is different: a clean theme built around your actual content, plugins chosen deliberately, and a setup that's easy to manage without becoming a maintenance liability.
What's Included
- Custom theme built from scratch — no theme marketplace
- Mobile-responsive layout across all screen sizes
- Page builder or block editor setup for self-managed content
- On-page SEO: titles, meta, structured data via Yoast or Rank Math
- Contact form with email delivery
- Performance optimization — caching, image compression, CDN guidance
- Security hardening and plugin audit
- Launch support and 30 days of post-launch fixes
Who It's For
- Business owners who want to update their own content without a developer
- Clients already familiar with WordPress who want a custom design
- Organizations that need plugin ecosystem access (events, memberships, directories)
- Anyone migrating from a generic theme to a purpose-built site
Every project is scoped individually. The starting price reflects a typical engagement — final cost depends on scope, complexity, and timeline.

Maintenance ↗︎Common Questions
If you need to update content yourself without touching code or a separate CMS dashboard, WordPress is often the faster path. The editing experience is familiar, the plugin ecosystem is vast, and hosting is widely available. For more complex applications, a headless or Next.js setup is usually the better call.
Yes — that's the main reason to choose WordPress. I'll configure the editor so adding pages, updating copy, and swapping images doesn't require a developer.
In most cases, yes — hosting is included as part of an ongoing maintenance plan, and I take care of everything. If you'd prefer to own your own hosting account, or want to hand the site off to another developer down the road, that's easy to do. Managed WordPress hosts like WP Engine or Kinsta are great options if you go that route.
WordPress is a frequent target precisely because it's popular. A build from me includes security hardening, a vetted plugin set, and guidance on keeping things updated. A maintenance plan is available if you'd rather not handle that yourself.
