QUICK ANSWER
What do WordPress website design services include?
WordPress website design services cover UX, information architecture, visual design and a block-based design system that is built into WordPress. Toffyjar is a WordPress website design agency that designs and develops in one team, from about $199 per page.
INCLUDED
What does a WordPress web design agency deliver?
A full design system, not just page mockups. Everything is designed for how WordPress editors will use it.
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.
COMPARE
WordPress web designers vs theme customization vs page builders: which is better?
Themes are cheap but generic, page builders are flexible but slow and messy, and custom block designs from WordPress designers are fast, consistent and easy to edit. For business sites, custom blocks usually win over time.
| Approach | Speed | Editing | Long-term cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium theme | Fast to launch | Limited | Rework later |
| Page builder | Fast to launch | Very flexible, inconsistent | Slow pages, bloat |
| Custom blocks (Toffyjar) | 4 to 8 weeks | Safe and consistent | Lowest over time |
