Have a WordPress Website Built: Turnkey Solution by a Professional
Turnkey instead of a DIY kit: I handle the concept, design, technology, and implementation—you get a finished, professional WordPress website.
The Starting Point
Build WordPress yourself? You don't have to.
No time, no patience for the technical stuff
WordPress, themes, plugins, hosting—figuring all that out can take days. You’re better off investing that time in your business. I’ll take care of the technical side entirely.
Templates can quickly make a project look unprofessional
Wix, Jimdo, and similar platforms are quick to set up, but they often look like they’re based on templates and have limitations when it comes to customization, SEO, and ownership. A WordPress website, on the other hand, grows with you.
Fear of mistakes and half-finished pages
DIY websites often get stuck halfway through—or go live with errors. With me, you’ll have a dedicated point of contact who will finish the website properly and get it live.
The Decision
Do it yourself or have it done?
Building a website yourself using a website builder is quick—until you get to the parts about customization, technology, and SEO. “Having it built for you” means you skip the learning curve and get a result that looks professional and scales with your business.
| Criterion | Customize the kit yourself | Let me create it for you |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to you | High – You build everything yourself | Low – You provide the input, I build it |
| Result | Template Style | Custom, professional design |
| Technology & SEO | Basic Functions | Well-structured, with SEO basics included |
| Ownership | Tied to the provider | Your website, full control |
| Support | Anonymous Help Center | Dedicated, direct point of contact |

The Investment
How much does it cost to have a WordPress website built?
For clearly defined projects, I’ll give you a fixed price; for larger websites, I’ll calculate the cost based on the amount of work involved, with a binding range estimate—at an hourly rate of €100 (net). That way, you’ll know exactly where you stand before we get started.
The price depends primarily on the number of pages, features, and the amount of content you provide. You can find specific examples and all prices in the cost overview.

Frequently Asked Questions About Having a WordPress Website Built
How much does it cost to have a WordPress website built?
That depends on the scope, number of pages, and features. For clearly defined projects, I offer a fixed price; for larger websites, I calculate the cost based on the amount of work involved, with a range estimate. You can find guidelines and examples on the Pricing page.
Do I need to know how to use WordPress?
No. That's exactly the point: I handle the concept, design, and technical aspects. If you'd like, after the site goes live, I can show you how to update the content yourself—or I can handle the updates for you on an ongoing basis.
How long will it take for my website to be ready?
Depending on the scope of the project, the availability of your content, and my workload, it typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. After our initial consultation, I’ll provide you with a realistic timeline. In my experience, missing text or images are the most common factors affecting the timeline.
Will I get a custom design or a template?
A custom design tailored to your brand using Elementor Pro—no off-the-shelf, cookie-cutter look. If needed, I can faithfully recreate existing templates (such as those from Figma).
Can the website be connected with AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT?
Yes, if desired, I will set up the connection directly during the build. It runs via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that allows AI assistants to specifically access WordPress. The AI receives its own account with restricted rights: For example, it can change texts and create posts, but not install plugins or access form submissions. This way, you can maintain your website after launch in plain language, without having to learn the page editor.
How is this different from an agency?
You’ll have a dedicated, direct point of contact instead of rotating teams—the person building your website is the one you’ll be working with. However, I don’t offer WordPress consulting without implementation; this service is all about the finished website.
How much does a web designer charge per hour?
Market rates range from 60 to 120 € per hour. I charge €100 net per hour for web design and website development, billed per quarter-hour or portion thereof, and including communication. For clearly defined projects, I also offer a flat rate starting at €2,490 net.
What happens if I don't have any text or images?
Images: If you don’t have your own photos and don’t want to buy expensive ones, I’ll handle the image search and provide suitable images from my image database free of charge; for team and practice photos, however, I still recommend hiring a photographer. Texts: I don’t write these myself—they come from you or from a copywriter whom I’d be happy to refer. A proven approach is to start with a rough draft generated by AI and then revise it together: It’s easier to improve an existing text than to fill a blank page.
Is WordPress still up to date?
Yes. WordPress powers about 41 percent of all websites worldwide (W3Techs, September 2026) and is constantly being developed. The market for service providers, plugins, and hosting options is the largest of any system—so you’re never dependent on a single provider. For corporate websites, medical practices, and law firms, WordPress therefore remains the most cost-effective and future-proof choice.
Will I be able to edit the website myself afterward?
Yes. Once the site goes live, you can log in to the backend as usual and manage the content yourself. I’ll set you up—and if you’d rather leave the technical side to me, I’ll handle the ongoing maintenance.
