WordPress Sites Built for Long-Term Control.
A professional website with total ownership and zero lock-in.
- Built on WordPress
- Easy to maintain
- First month of care included
A better website build is built to last
Your website should not depend on one proprietary builder, one hidden workflow, or one person who understands the code. MaintainWP builds with WordPress so your site stays flexible, manageable, and easier for other WordPress professionals to take over if your needs ever change.

What is included in the $499 website build?
The base website creation service includes a focused WordPress homepage build, basic setup, content placement, launch preparation, and the first month of Start-Up maintenance. Additional pages, advanced features, and third-party costs are handled separately.
What do I need to provide before the build starts?
You should provide your business details, logo, brand colors if available, page copy, images, examples you like, required links, contact information, and any must-have details. If your content needs light cleanup, MaintainWP can help organize and polish what you provide.
Can you build more than just a homepage?
Yes. Additional pages are available at a per-page rate. Common examples include About, Services, Contact, landing pages, or individual service pages. Scope is confirmed before work begins so the project stays clear.
Why build with WordPress instead of a static HTML site?
WordPress gives your website an organized content system instead of burying every future change inside raw code. That makes the site easier to update, maintain, expand, and hand off to another WordPress professional if your needs change.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes, the site is built on WordPress, so you can edit content through WordPress. If you want an even simpler workflow, Simple Frontend Editor can make routine content updates easier by letting you edit supported content directly from the frontend without digging through the WordPress dashboard.
Is website maintenance required after the first month?
The first month of Start-Up maintenance is included so your site launches with care in place. After that, you can continue with a maintenance plan or choose another path. The site is built to remain yours either way.
What is not included in the base website creation service?
The base service does not include complex custom development, ecommerce, booking systems, membership portals, full branding packages, professional photography, long-form copywriting, paid third-party licenses, domain registration, or email hosting unless separately agreed.
Can another WordPress developer manage the site later?
Yes. The goal is to build on WordPress in a way that remains understandable and maintainable. If you ever need to change providers, another WordPress professional should be able to take over without reverse-engineering a proprietary system from scratch.
