Looking for what we charge? See our prices: https://wpministry.co/pricing/ - How much a WordPress website costs per year: the eight lines of the budget and what drives each WordPress itself is free. Running a site on it has about eight lines of cost, from the domain and hosting to upkeep and repairs. The hosting, the number of paid plugins and who does the upkeep decide most of the total.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-website-yearly/ - How much does SEO cost? What sellers' surveys report, and what moves the price on a WordPress site SEO is sold as a one-time job at a fixed price, by the month, or by the hour. In two surveys of sellers the most common monthly fee was $500 to $1,000, and one put the average at $2,917. Each figure is a seller's own report, and the surveys are years apart.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-seo/ - What WordPress malware removal costs: how it is priced and what a cleanup should include A WordPress malware cleanup is priced by how it is sold (a fixed fee, an hourly rate or a subscription) and by what counts as clean. Compare quotes on scope. Check that the way in is found and closed, and that a review request, a written report and a guarantee are included.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-malware-removal/ - WooCommerce maintenance cost: why a store costs more, and what the extra should buy A WooCommerce store costs more to maintain than a brochure site because more can break, a break costs money by the hour, and a careful update takes longer. The extra should buy a staging copy, a test order through each payment method, and backups that keep up with orders.: https://wpministry.co/cost/woocommerce-maintenance/ - WordPress maintenance cost: what you pay for, and why prices differ You pay for WordPress maintenance in your own hours, by the hour when something breaks, or as a fixed monthly fee. The price moves with how much there is to update, whether the site sells, and what is promised when an update goes wrong.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-maintenance/ - WordPress migration cost: which job you are being quoted for, and what moves the price A migration quote is for one of three jobs. Moving the same WordPress site to another host is a copy, sold at a low fixed price or done free by the new host. A new domain adds redirects. A change of platform is a rebuild, and it is quoted.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-migration/ - WordPress speed optimization cost: what the job is, what it should include and what moves the price What speed optimization costs depends on what is slow. Settings such as a page cache, image sizes and the PHP version are a small job. A heavy theme, slow queries and too many scripts need development. Hosting that cannot serve the site is not a speed job at all.: https://wpministry.co/cost/wordpress-speed-optimization/ ## Would you rather have a figure for your own site?
