WORDPRESS WEB DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT, JACKSONVILLE FL
WordPress web design and development in Jacksonville
A custom WordPress site, designed and built by a local Jacksonville team that does not disappear after launch. So you can run your business, not your website.
Trusted by 200+ small businesses. Named to the Jacksonville Business Journal Book of Lists, Top Website Design Companies, three years running. Women-owned and Jacksonville-based.
Most websites get built once, then quietly left to rot
You didn't start a company to become a professional tab-switcher. But that is what a WordPress site turns into when the designer hands it over and vanishes. Plugins go out of date. The site gets slow. Google stops sending people. And a beautiful website on page ten of Google is just an expensive business card.
The usual Jacksonville options do not help. Cheap hosting will not touch the actual site. A cheap designer launches it and moves on. Your nephew is busy. Six months later, you are the one logging in at 11 pm, trying to figure out why the contact form stopped working.
There is a better version of this. One team that designs the site, builds it properly, and keeps it running after launch.
WordPress web design
We design custom WordPress sites for Jacksonville businesses that need their website to actually do something: bring in calls, book appointments, sell. Not a template with your logo dropped in. A site built around the job your customer is trying to get done.
Every site we design includes:
A custom design built on WordPress, not a locked-in page builder you cannot escape later
Mobile-first layouts that load fast, because most of your visitors are on a phone
Accessibility built in, not bolted on, so the site works for everyone and lowers your ADA risk
On-page SEO from day one, so you are findable in Google and in AI answers, not just pretty
Clear next steps on every page, so visitors know what to do instead of wandering off
WordPress development, for when a theme is not enough
Sometimes you need more than a fresh design. You need a WordPress developer in Jacksonville who can build the thing, fix the inherited mess, or make two systems talk to each other.
We handle:
Custom functionality and features your business actually runs on
WooCommerce and ecommerce builds, from first product to checkout
Migrations and rebuilds, including untangling a site someone else left in rough shape
Integrations with your CRM, booking, email, and payment tools
Speed and Core Web Vitals work, so the site is fast enough to keep and rank
If you have been told “that is not possible on WordPress,” get a second opinion. It usually is.
One partner, not four vendors pointing at each other
Most agencies design the site and leave you to find a host, a security person, and an SEO. We do all of it under one roof, with real humans who answer.
That is the part clients keep telling us matters. Julie Chenell, an online growth strategist, put it plainly: “She will respond to me on Thanksgiving Day at 7 am if my WordPress site is down for any reason. She's someone you want in your corner.”
What you get with us:
A local Jacksonville team you can actually reach, not a ticket queue
Design, development, hosting, security, and SEO from one relationship
A woman-owned shop that has been doing this since 2020
Recognition to back it up: Jacksonville Business Journal Book of Lists for Top Website Design Companies, three years running
Jeane Sumner, Founder and CEO of Website HQ
We do not hand you the keys and disappear
A website is not a one-time project. It is software that needs looking after. Once your site is live, our Site Care Plan keeps it backed up, updated, secured, and monitored every day. If anything breaks, it is on us to fix it, not you.
That is a different page and a different conversation, and it is where the “what does upkeep cost” question gets answered.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your questions, answered
Do you only work with Jacksonville businesses?
We are based in Jacksonville and know this market well, and a lot of our clients are local. We also work with businesses across the country. If you want a team in your time zone who picks up the phone, we are a good fit either way.
How long does a website take?
Most projects run four to eight weeks, depending on the project's size and how quickly we receive content and feedback. We give you a realistic timeline in the quote, not a guess.
Can you fix or redesign my existing WordPress site?
Yes. A lot of our work is rescuing sites that were launched and abandoned: slow, out of date, or hacked. We can redesign, rebuild, or stabilize what you have.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
Web design projects start at $4,000, with the final number depending on scope. Ongoing care and hosting start at $125 a month through our Site Care Club. You get a fixed quote before any work begins.
Do you do development, or just design?
Both. We design sites, and we build custom WordPress functionality, e-commerce, integrations, and migrations. If you already have a designer and need a Jacksonville WordPress developer, we can do just the build.
What happens after the site launches?
Our Site Care Plan takes over the daily backups, updates, security, and monitoring so the site keeps working. If something breaks, we fix it. Details are on the Site Care Club page.
Done with website drama?
Let's build a WordPress site that brings in business and a team that sticks around to keep it that way. The first call is free and there is no pitch.
