Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a WordPress website?
Developing a custom WordPress website that is high-performing, SEO-friendly, and conversion-ready typically takes anywhere from 4 weeks to 3-6 months, depending on the project’s scope and complexity.
You might have come across vendors who claim to deliver WordPress websites in mere hours or days, but it is useful to remember that:
- Such vendors often deliver cookie-cutter WordPress development solutions with monotonous, template-based designs, bare minimum functionality, and plain-vanilla content.
- Also, such solutions typically lack critical elements like SEO enhancements, performance optimisation, and a conversion-focused architecture, which are essential for business success.
At Webential, a leading WordPress agency, we specialise in building custom WordPress websites that embody your brand identity and business goals. Our experienced WordPress developers craft websites from the ground up, ensuring every aspect–from site architecture to navigation flow, UI/UX design, and content strategy–is meticulously tailored to your unique requirements.

Will my WordPress site be mobile-friendly?
Yes, and at Webential, “mobile-first” is a top priority!
Our responsive WordPress designs adapt across devices without a glitch, ensuring exceptional user experience across desktops, tablets, and mobiles. As a leading WordPress agency, we utilise mobile-first design principles, while also optimising layouts, navigation, and speed for every screen size.
Cutting-edge frameworks like Bootstrap let our expert WordPress developers create responsive WordPress websites that keep your audience engaged, no matter the device. Backed by flexible grids, adaptive images, cross-browser compatibility, fluid layouts, and touch-friendly interfaces, we ensure your site is ready to meet the demands of today’s mobile-first world!
How will you ensure that my WordPress website remains safe and secure?
At Webential, security isn’t just an afterthought–it’s built into the DNA of every custom WordPress website we develop. Our multi-layered protection for WordPress websites includes:
- Firewalls, SSL encryption, regular plugin updates, and advanced spam filtering.
- Daily backups, DDoS protection, and automated scans for real-time malware detection.
- Top-notch security protocols, IP blocking, database security, and periodic audits.
- Utilising security plugins such as Wordfence and Sucuri, and conducting routine vulnerability checks.
- HTTPS encryption, secure hosting environments, multi-factor authentication, and more.
While many of these security mechanisms can be availed for free when you hire us to build scalable WordPress solutions, some may require an additional (but nominal) investment. Webential goes the extra mile to fortify your custom WordPress website and keeps your site resilient and future-ready at all times.
Do you provide training for managing the website post-launch?
As a customer-focused WordPress development agency, we make sure you and your team are fully equipped to manage your website without a hitch. Our experienced WordPress developers teach you how to track metrics and configure plugins by conducting in-depth sessions on admin dashboard usage, customisation strategies, and performance tracking.
To navigate the ins and outs of your custom WordPress website with confidence, you’ll also learn to take control of your website’s content management, user management, role management, SEO features, and advanced admin settings.
Webential believes in empowering its clients by providing comprehensive training tailored to each custom WordPress website post-launch.
How does Webential ensure that my website loads quickly?
Speed is key, and Webential delivers.
From implementing browser caching and reducing server response times to optimising images and enabling lazy loading, our WordPress developers optimise every element of your website. By minifying CSS and JavaScript, implementing GZIP compression, and performing database optimisation, we further reduce load times and ensure your website is fast, reliable, and user-friendly. We also distribute your content globally for faster delivery by leveraging content delivery networks (CDN). Webential’s speed-enhancing strategies use the latest techniques and cutting-edge technologies to give your website the edge it deserves.
