WordPress development for business websites
Hostlyx offers WordPress development for business websites and WooCommerce stores: custom themes, custom plugins, speed improvements and migrations from other platforms or hosts. The site runs on our cPanel WordPress hosting or yours, and the same developers look after both, so plugin, theme and server problems are traced to the root instead of patched over.
WordPress runs a large share of the web because it is easy to edit, but many WordPress sites end up slow and fragile: a bought theme with features nobody uses, a pile of plugins for small jobs, and no plan for updates. Our WordPress development keeps things lean, with a theme built for your content and only the plugins the site genuinely needs.
We build new WordPress sites, rebuild old ones and take over sites another developer started. When something is wrong, such as a slow admin, a broken checkout or a white screen after an update, we look at the code, the database and the server together, because we run the hosting as well.
What is included
Custom theme development
A theme built for your layouts and content using the block editor, without the bloat of a multipurpose theme that loads every feature on every page.
Custom plugin development
Features that no plugin covers well, such as booking rules, calculators or data imports, written as a clean plugin that survives core updates.
WooCommerce
Store setup, product types, Razorpay or Stripe payments, GST or VAT settings and checkout changes for shops that run on WordPress.
Speed optimization
We trim plugins, compress images, set up caching and fix slow database queries, measuring before and after so you can see what changed.
Migrations
Moves from another host, or from Wix, Joomla or a custom site to WordPress, with redirects mapped so existing search rankings are protected.
Fixes and takeovers
Hacked sites, update errors and abandoned builds cleaned up and documented, so the site is stable and someone understands how it works.
Tools and platforms: WordPress, WooCommerce, PHP, MySQL, Gutenberg blocks, Advanced Custom Fields

How we work
-
Audit or brief
For a new site we gather requirements; for an existing one we review the theme, plugins, hosting and speed to find what needs attention.
-
Fixed quote
You receive a written quote covering the theme, plugins, features and any migration. We start only when you approve it.
-
Build on staging
All work happens on a staging copy, so your live site keeps running while you review the new version.
-
Test and launch
We test forms, payments, speed and mobile layouts, then push the site live with a backup taken first.
-
Keep it updated
WordPress, themes and plugins need regular updates. We can handle them through a care plan or show your team how.

Questions people ask
How much does a WordPress website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, whether you need WooCommerce, and how much custom code is involved. We send a written fixed quote after a short call or audit, so you know the full price before any work starts. Hosting is billed separately, with the renewal price shown up front.
Can you fix my slow WordPress site?
Usually, yes. Slow WordPress sites are most often caused by heavy themes, too many plugins, large images or a poor host. We measure first, fix the causes in order of impact, and show you the before and after numbers.
Should I use a ready-made theme or a custom theme?
A ready-made theme is quicker to start but often loads features you never use and can be hard to change later. A custom theme built for your content is lighter and easier to maintain. We will tell you which suits your budget and plans.
Can you host my WordPress site?
Yes. We offer cPanel WordPress hosting, and because our developers work on the same servers, problems that sit between WordPress and the hosting get fixed by one team. If you prefer to stay with your current host, we can work there too.
Do I own the theme and plugins you build?
Yes. Custom themes and plugins we write for you are yours, along with the content and database. Third-party premium plugins are licensed in your name where possible, so you keep updates if you ever move to another developer.
