QUICK ANSWER
What does a WordPress agency do?
A WordPress agency plans, designs, builds, secures and maintains WordPress websites. Toffyjar is a WordPress development agency that delivers custom WordPress development, WooCommerce, migration, security and maintenance with AI-powered teams and senior review, from about $199 per page.
SERVICES
Which WordPress development services does Toffyjar offer?
Our WordPress development services run end to end, from architecture to long-term care. Each service has its own page with scope, process and pricing. As a WordPress development service provider we also handle WordPress website management for teams without in-house developers.
BY THE NUMBERS
What do the numbers say about WordPress in 2026?
WordPress is used by 39.7% of all websites and 58.5% of websites whose content management system is known, according to W3Techs (October 2026). WooCommerce runs on 19.8% of WordPress sites. Google's Core Web Vitals define a good experience as Largest Contentful Paint within 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint of 200 milliseconds or less and Cumulative Layout Shift of 0.1 or less, measured at the 75th percentile of page loads (web.dev). Toffyjar prices WordPress projects at about $199 per page, so a 10-page build is roughly $1,990, and dedicated WordPress developers cost $10 an hour, or $18 an hour for senior developers. In short, WordPress is the default platform for business websites, and speed is a measurable requirement rather than a preference.
WHY WORDPRESS
Why choose WordPress website development for a business site?
WordPress runs a large share of the web, has a mature ecosystem and gives marketing teams an editor they already know. What matters is the build: lean custom code, a block library, managed hosting and a maintenance plan. Read what WordPress is used for or compare Webflow vs WordPress and top WordPress websites.

COMPARE
WordPress agency vs freelancer vs in-house: which is right for you?
A freelancer suits small fixes. An in-house team suits a constant roadmap. A WordPress agency suits business-critical sites that need strategy, design, development, QA and support in one place. Toffyjar adds a fourth option: agency process at offshore rates, with US-hour overlap.
| Option | Best for | Typical cost | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelancer | Small sites, quick fixes | Lowest hourly rate | Single point of failure, limited QA |
| In-house team | Continuous internal roadmap | Full salaries and tools | Hiring time, narrow skill mix |
| Large US agency | Big-brand campaigns | Highest retainers | You pay for overhead and account layers |
| Toffyjar | Growth companies and enterprises | ~$199/page, developers from $10/hr | Proof pending: ask us for references |

WHY TOFFYJAR
Why choose Toffyjar for wordpress agency?
Toffyjar combines WordPress and web engineering with SEO and GEO in one team, so the people who write the strategy also ship the code. We measured current results for our clients with OpenSEO: for example, one enterprise site we built ranks for 65 non-brand keywords in the Google top 10, 37 of them at #1. You get fixed quotes, published prices, named people and full ownership of everything we build.
TIMING
How quickly will you see results from wordpress agency?
A typical WordPress build launches in 3 to 8 weeks depending on templates, integrations and content readiness. Speed and security gains show on day one after launch, measured with Core Web Vitals in PageSpeed Insights and Search Console. Organic gains from the new structure usually follow over the next 2 to 6 months as Google recrawls the site.
PROOF
Sites we built, ranking today
We measured these results on 16 October 2026 using OpenSEO, which draws on DataForSEO ranking and backlink data. For example, in one case study a data and digital orchestration platform (SaaS) whose site Toffyjar built has WordPress site with #1 rankings for platform-engineering topics, with 1,668 referring domains. In another, an insurance digital transformation consultancy has WordPress site with 1,625 referring domains, with 1,625 referring domains. These are current figures, not before-and-after claims, and client names stay private under NDA. Every site was planned from a requirement sheet, built on staging, reviewed by senior people and handed over with the client owning the code, content and logins. Projects are priced at about $199 per page, and SEO and GEO retainers start at $499 a month. Ask for a reference on a discovery call and we will connect you with a client where they agree.
