QUICK ANSWER
What is website development?
Website development is the work of planning, designing, coding, testing and launching a website, then keeping it running. Web development covers front-end (what visitors see), back-end (servers, databases, CMS) and integrations. Toffyjar delivers website development services from about $199 per page.
SERVICES
What do our website development services include?
Each engagement covers strategy, information architecture, design, front-end and back-end development, content migration, QA, launch and support. Pick the platform that fits, or let us recommend one.
BY THE NUMBERS
What do the numbers say about modern websites?
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.
FRONT AND BACK
What is the difference between front-end and back-end web development?
Frontend website development builds what users see and touch: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, responsive layouts and accessibility. Back-end development builds servers, databases, CMS logic, APIs and integrations. Full-stack website developers do both. Most business sites need both, plus a CMS your team can edit. Read what a web developer does.
| Layer | What it covers | Typical tools |
|---|---|---|
| Front-end | Layout, interactivity, accessibility, speed | HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React |
| Back-end | Data, CMS, logic, APIs | PHP, Node.js, MySQL, REST |
| DevOps | Hosting, deploys, monitoring | CDN, CI, staging |
| Website creation (no-code) | Visual building | Webflow, Framer |

MEASUREMENT
How do you measure success for website development?
We agree the numbers before work starts and report them monthly: core web vitals pass rate; conversion rate on key pages; time to ship a new page; leads from the site. For example, our case studies report measured figures such as non-brand top-10 rankings and referring domains, taken from OpenSEO with the date. If a metric does not move, we change the plan rather than the report.
PREPARATION
What should you prepare before starting website development?
To start quickly, have ready brand assets, page list, examples you like, integrations you need and who approves designs. If something is missing, we help you gather it in the first week. Fill the requirement sheet and we send a fixed quote within 48 hours, with the scope, timeline and team named.

WHY TOFFYJAR
Why choose Toffyjar for website development?
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 website development?
Most website projects launch in 3 to 8 weeks; larger enterprise builds take 2 to 4 months. Speed and conversion improvements show at launch and are measured from the first week with analytics and Core Web Vitals. Search gains from better structure and content typically build over 2 to 6 months after Google recrawls the new pages.
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 an enterprise digital engineering company whose site Toffyjar built has 65 non-brand page-one rankings, 37 at #1, with 2,717 referring domains. In another, an AI insurance process automation platform has 13 non-brand top-10 rankings including #1 for underwriting software, with 2,578 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.
