BY THE NUMBERS
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). 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. Toffyjar prices website projects at about $199 per page, so a 10-page site is roughly $1,990 with a fixed quote, and dedicated developers cost $10 an hour or $18 an hour for senior developers. In practice, that means a business website should be fast by measurement, built on a platform teams can edit, and priced so the scope is clear before work starts.
BEFORE YOU ASK
No, not with the safeguards Toffyjar builds into every engagement. You get a named senior lead who owns delivery and answers you directly. The Bangalore team works hours that overlap with US mornings and the UK working day, so most questions are answered the same day. Every change is shared on a staging link for review before it goes live, and the code sits in your own repository from day one, so you can see every commit. Senior developers review AI-assisted work before it ships, and founder Nikhil Narasipura Doddamane reviews strategy. You own the code, content, hosting and logins, so you can change providers at any time.
No. You own the code, content, hosting and logins. Retainers run month to month.
A fixed quote within 48 hours of the requirement sheet. The sheet covers goals, pages, platform, integrations, timeline and budget, so Toffyjar can scope the work without a sales call. Website projects are priced at about $199 per page, including design, development, responsive QA and on-page SEO and GEO. Monthly rates are published: dedicated developers cost $10 an hour and senior developers $18 an hour, SEO and GEO retainers are $499 a month (Starter) or $999 a month (Growth), and care plans start at $89 a month. Third-party costs such as hosting, licenses and paid plugins are listed separately in every quote, so there are no hidden fees.
Yes. We slot into your Git, Jira or Trello workflow and follow your review process.
We report monthly on rankings, AI citations and leads, and change course on the data. No long contracts.
AI speeds up research and drafts; senior people write, edit and approve everything that ships. In practice, Toffyjar uses AI tools for research, outlines, first drafts and repetitive development tasks. A senior writer or developer then checks the facts, edits for your brand voice and approves the final version. Every statistic carries a named source, such as Google's web.dev or W3Techs. Pages answer real questions in self-contained passages, which helps search engines and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews quote them accurately. Nothing is published without human review, and you approve every change on a staging link before it goes live.
