General

WordPress Development FAQ – General Questions

Start here if you’re new to WP ScaleUp and want a quick overview of what we do, how we work and which WordPress projects are a good fit.

  • What kind of WordPress projects do you usually handle?
    We focus on business websites, landing pages, WooCommerce stores and performance-focused rebuilds. Typical work includes new builds, redesigns, Core Web Vitals improvements and ongoing maintenance.
  • Do you work only with WordPress, or other platforms too?
    We specialize in WordPress and WooCommerce only. That means our stack, processes and tools are tuned for the WordPress ecosystem and follow recommendations from wordpress.org.
  • How can I contact you if my question is not listed here?
    You can contact us directly on the Contact page or email support@wpscaleup.com. We usually respond within one business day.

Development

WordPress development & implementation questions.

These questions cover how we approach themes, builders, custom functionality and technical decisions when we develop or maintain WordPress sites.

  • Do you use page builders like Elementor, or only custom themes?
    We’re comfortable with both. Many projects use a modern builder such as Elementor or a lightweight theme, with custom sections where needed. For more complex builds, we lean toward clean custom themes to keep performance and maintainability strong.
  • Can you work on an existing WordPress site built by another agency?
    Yes. A lot of WP ScaleUp work involves taking over existing WordPress projects – cleaning up plugins, stabilizing deployments and gradually improving performance and UX instead of rebuilding everything on day one.
  • What if I only need a few changes each month?
    In that case, our hourly model works well. You can hire a WordPress developer at $15/hr and use those hours for small features, bug fixes and incremental improvements.

WooCommerce

Questions about WooCommerce store setup & scaling.

Running an online store adds complexity around products, tax, shipping and conversions. These FAQs explain how WP ScaleUp approaches WooCommerce builds and optimizations.

  • Can you set up a full WooCommerce store from scratch?
    Yes. Our WooCommerce development services include store configuration, product setup, payment gateways, basic tax/shipping rules and conversion-focused templates for product, cart and checkout.
  • Do you handle only design, or also performance and scaling?
    We do both. For WooCommerce we pay special attention to logged-in performance, caching strategy, database load and Core Web Vitals on key funnel pages like product, cart and checkout.
  • Can you integrate third-party tools like CRMs or marketing platforms?
    In many cases, yes. We regularly connect WooCommerce to email platforms, analytics tools and lightweight CRMs. For more advanced integrations, we’ll review the API docs and confirm feasibility before starting.

Performance

WordPress speed & Core Web Vitals questions.

If your site is slow or failing Lighthouse, these questions explain how our performance sprints work and what you can realistically expect from a speed optimization engagement.

  • Can you fix poor Core Web Vitals scores on my WordPress site?
    Yes. Our WordPress speed optimization service focuses on LCP, CLS, INP and TTFB. We audit your theme, plugins, hosting and third-party scripts, then apply a prioritized set of performance fixes.
  • Will you change my design to improve speed?
    Only where it’s truly necessary. Most performance gains come from technical changes: better caching, asset loading, image handling and theme/plugin cleanup. If a specific design pattern is causing issues, we’ll suggest alternatives before changing anything.
  • Do you provide before/after reports for optimization work?
    Yes. Every performance sprint includes a before/after report with key metrics from tools like Lighthouse, PageSpeed Insights and real-user data where available, plus recommendations for keeping the site fast over time.

Engagement

Questions about pricing, process & timelines.

These FAQs cover hourly vs fixed-price work, budgets and how long WordPress projects typically take with WP ScaleUp.

  • What are your standard rates for WordPress development?
    Our standard remote rate is $15/hr. You can see how this compares to fixed packages on the pricing page or hire directly from the $15/hr WordPress developer page.
  • How do you decide between hourly and fixed-price?
    Smaller or open-ended work is best on hourly. Clear, well-defined projects – such as a new marketing site, WooCommerce build or performance sprint – are better as fixed packages with milestones. We outline both options after understanding your scope.
  • What is the typical starting budget for a new site?
    A compact business site or landing-style build usually starts from around the range listed on our WP ScaleUp pricing page. More complex, multi-template projects and advanced WooCommerce stores are scoped individually.
