Most WordPress sites go live half-finished: the default admin user is still called admin, there are no backups, and the contact form email quietly lands in spam. We close that gap. This bundle takes a site from an empty install to something you can actually run. It’s built on your hosting, hardened before it goes public, with email that delivers and a backup copy in your hands. One fixed price, and no maintenance contract attached unless you decide you want one.
Services we combine
Who it's for
This fits a business launching its first real WordPress site, a founder who bought a theme and stalled halfway, or an agency that wants the technical setup off its plate so it can focus on design and content. If you already have a live site that’s broken or hacked, that’s a restoration job rather than a launch, and we’ll point you to the right service instead.
-
First-time site owners
You want it done right once, not a year of trial and error.
-
Stalled DIY builds
You bought a theme, got 60% there, and need someone to finish and secure it.
-
Agencies and designers
You handle the look; we handle the install, hardening, and email plumbing.
How it runs
We start with a short kickoff to confirm hosting, domain, and what the site needs to do. Then we build on a staging URL so nothing half-finished is ever public. Once it’s hardened and email is verified, we point the domain at it and hand you backups and access. You’re never stuck waiting on us for small edits afterward, which is the whole point of the cheat sheet.
Kickoff
We confirm hosting, domain, plugins, and scope in one call.
Day 1Build
Install, theme, plugins, and content scaffold go up on a staging URL.
Days 2 to 4Harden and wire email
Security baseline, SSL, caching, and SPF/DKIM/DMARC verified.
Day 5Go live and handover
Domain cutover, backups handed to you, 30-minute walkthrough.
Days 6 to 7Price, and what happens after
The bundle starts at $690, one-time. That covers a standard business site: a handful of pages, a theme you’ve chosen, and the setup above. A store, a membership site, or a custom build costs more, and we quote it before we start. No subscription is attached. A support retainer is optional if you want one later.
Tooling we lean on
Where this fits
This is the productised version of the work we do across WordPress support and security hardening, packaged so a launch is one fixed price instead of a string of separate jobs. Want email handled properly from day one? That’s our email deliverability work, already folded in here. If your site is already live and broken, start with compromise recovery instead.
