WordPress Development Agency in Washington, DC
Keybridge Web is a Washington, DC agency that has specialized in custom WordPress development since 2003. Every site we ship is designed and developed in-house — design, development, SEO, and security are part of the build, not add-ons. Custom WordPress websites start at around $11,000.
What "custom WordPress" means here
• Custom design and theme development — built for your organization, not adapted from a marketplace theme.
• Custom plugin development — when your workflow needs logic WordPress doesn’t ship with, we build it as a clean, maintainable plugin rather than bolting on ten off-the-shelf ones.
• Member portals and gated content — secure login areas with role-based access for associations and membership organizations.
• E-commerce — WooCommerce and Shopify builds, including product configurators and complex option variations.
• Integrations and APIs — Salesforce, MembershipWorks, Stripe, Okta, NIPR, interactive maps, and data visualization.
• Data automation — syncing structured data from Google Sheets or other sources into WordPress, scheduled refreshes, and on-demand PDF generation from live site content.
• Performance, accessibility, and SEO — Core Web Vitals, WCAG-conformant templates, structured data, and clean URLs, handled during the build and verified before launch.
• A CMS your team can run — training is a standard step in our eight-step process.
Taking over a site someone else built
We regularly take over WordPress sites built by other developers. We start with a security and code review — often finding the previous team leaned on abandoned plugins or left the site exposed — then move it onto one of our maintenance plans. You don’t have to rebuild to get a site that’s maintained properly.
Ongoing WordPress maintenance
WordPress needs updating — core, plugins, security patches, backups. We offer three maintenance plans: Silver at $235/month, Gold at $355/month, and Platinum at $825/month. All three include managed hosting, so there’s no separate hosting bill.
FAQ
How much does a custom WordPress website cost in DC?
At Keybridge Web, custom WordPress websites start at around $11,000. Template-based sites from freelancers cost less; large-agency builds often run $50,000 and up. See our full breakdown of what websites cost in DC.
Do you use a page builder or custom code?
Both, deliberately. Every Keybridge Web site is custom-designed for the client — no resold templates. We build on WordPress using professional tooling our whole team can support (we build primarily in Elementor and write custom code where the design or logic calls for it), which keeps sites maintainable for years, not just launchable.
Can you build a custom WordPress plugin?
Yes. When a site needs logic or a workflow that no existing plugin handles well, we develop a custom plugin for it — clean, lightweight code without the bloat of stacking several off-the-shelf plugins to fake one feature.
Can you take over a WordPress site another developer built?
Yes — we do this regularly. We start with a security and code review, then move the site onto one of our maintenance plans.
How long does a WordPress project take?
Most Keybridge Web projects take 8–10 weeks from kickoff to launch. Complex builds — member portals, heavy integrations — run three to four months. Rush timelines are available at a premium; we’ve launched quick-turnaround microsites in days.

Most projects begin with a short call about what the site actually needs to do. We follow with a written scope and a number — no obligation.
