WordPress Built Right — Fast, Secure, and Ranked

FactoryJet's WordPress development starts at ₹29,999 for a custom theme on an existing install. A complete business site with 5–8 pages, custom design, SEO, speed optimization, and launch runs ₹80,000. WooCommerce stores with Razorpay, GST invoicing, and Shiprocket start at ₹1,50,000. For context, mid-tier Indian digital agencies charge ₹80,000–₹4,00,000 for comparable work. FactoryJet is 60–70% cheaper because we are a specialised team — not a full-service agency with account managers and overhead.

The 7-day guarantee applies to standard WordPress business sites: 5–8 pages, custom theme, contact forms, basic SEO, GA4, and launch. The clock starts from design sign-off — not from first call. Day 1–2: Figma design delivered and approved. Day 3–5: WordPress theme built and staging URL live. Day 6: content loaded, SEO configured, speed tested. Day 7: DNS transfer and launch. WooCommerce stores (14–21 days) and large multi-page sites are scoped separately with their own timelines.

No hidden costs. Every quote is fixed-price and itemised. What is NOT included in our development fee and billed separately: WordPress hosting (we recommend Cloudflare Pages + AWS LightSail from ~₹700–₹2,000/month, or WP Engine India from ~₹1,500/month), premium plugins if required (most builds use only free or custom-built plugins), domain renewal (typically ₹800–₹1,200/year), and ongoing maintenance if you want it (from ₹4,999/month). We tell you the full cost of ownership before you sign off.

We are a specialised engineering team, not a full-service digital agency. No account management layers, no generalist designers who also do social media, no large office in an expensive city, and no inflated project manager markups. The same Figma-to-code process, the same Lighthouse audit before handover, the same technical SEO setup — at 60–70% less than a comparable Indian agency. We have been building websites since 1999. That experience is priced into the quality, not the overhead.

Choose WordPress when: you need your team to update content without a developer (WordPress admin is learnable in one session), you want a CMS-driven blog or content hub for SEO, your budget is under ₹1,50,000, or you want WooCommerce for flexible e-commerce. Choose Next.js when: you need sub-500ms performance, you are building a web application with custom logic, you need a JAMstack architecture for global CDN delivery, or your business requires features impossible in WordPress without heavy plugin overhead. We assess this during discovery and give you an honest recommendation.

WooCommerce: No platform subscription fee, full code ownership, unlimited customization, and works on any Indian hosting. Best for: businesses that want zero monthly SaaS cost, need deep WooCommerce customization (wholesale portals, custom checkout flows), or already have a WordPress site. Shopify: Managed infrastructure, faster to launch for pure D2C, better for brands processing ₹5 crore+/month who want zero server management. Costlier monthly (₹2,500–₹25,000/month subscription). Both support Razorpay, UPI, GST, and Shiprocket natively. We build both — we will recommend the one that actually fits your business.

WordPress powers 43% of all websites globally as of 2025 — more than the next 10 CMS platforms combined. It is not going anywhere. The misconception is that WordPress equals slow, bloated sites. That is Elementor and shared GoDaddy hosting. A properly built WordPress site — custom theme, no page builder, Redis caching on Cloudflare — delivers Lighthouse 90+ and Core Web Vitals green. The block editor is excellent. WooCommerce is the most flexible e-commerce platform in the world. WordPress is absolutely the right choice for most Indian SMBs.

Yes — WordPress was built for content publishing and news sites. It powers some of the world's largest media properties. For high-traffic Indian news and media sites, we configure: Cloudflare with aggressive page caching, Redis object caching on AWS, lazy-loading for media-heavy posts, WP-CLI for bulk content operations, and custom archive/category templates optimised for mobile news consumption. Editorial workflows (custom post types, contributor roles, editorial calendar) are configured as standard for news builds.

Our recommendations for Indian WordPress sites: (1) Cloudflare Pages + AWS LightSail (₹700–₹2,000/month) — best performance-to-cost ratio, Indian CDN edge nodes, Cloudflare caching and DDoS protection. (2) WP Engine India (₹1,500–₹4,000/month) — fully managed WordPress hosting, automated updates, daily backups, and built-in Redis. (3) Kinsta India (₹2,000–₹5,000/month) — premium managed hosting on Google Cloud. We do NOT recommend GoDaddy shared hosting or Hostgator for production WordPress sites — they are the primary reason Indian WordPress sites load in 8+ seconds.

Our WordPress speed optimization process: (1) Server migration from shared hosting to Cloudflare + AWS LightSail or WP Engine India. (2) Redis object caching to reduce database queries. (3) Full-page caching via WP Rocket or custom Nginx config. (4) Image conversion to WebP with lazy loading below the fold. (5) Plugin audit — we remove everything unused and replace bloated plugins with lighter alternatives or custom code. (6) Critical CSS inlining to eliminate render-blocking resources. (7) Cloudflare CDN for static assets. Average result: 8-second GoDaddy site → 1.8-second Lighthouse 90+ site.

Indian WordPress sites are high-value targets for automated bots — unmanaged sites are typically compromised within 12 months. Our security setup: Wordfence Security with real-time malware scanning and firewall rules, WP admin URL randomized (not /wp-admin), login attempt limiting and two-factor authentication for admin users, disabling of XML-RPC, file editing disabled from the WordPress admin, daily automated backups to S3 with 30-day retention, and regular core and plugin updates as part of our maintenance plans.

Yes — every WordPress site we build includes full technical SEO: Yoast or Rank Math configured with XML sitemap, schema markup for your business type (Organization, LocalBusiness, Article, Product), canonical URLs, and Open Graph tags. Title and meta templates are set for all page types. We submit to Google Search Console on launch day and verify crawl status within 48 hours. Core Web Vitals are green before launch — Google confirmed CWV as a ranking signal for Indian mobile search. Blog and landing page keyword strategy available as an add-on.

We integrate Razorpay via the official Razorpay WooCommerce plugin and configure: UPI as the default payment option (highest conversion for Indian consumers), standard checkout with cards, net banking, EMI (6–24 months), Paytm, PhonePe, Mobikwik, Google Pay, LazyPay, and Simpl. Razorpay webhook configuration for order status sync, failed payment retry flows, and refund processing. We also configure Razorpay Thirdwatch for fraud detection on COD orders. Everything is tested end-to-end on staging before DNS switch.

Yes — GST compliance is standard in every WooCommerce store we build. We configure: GSTIN capture at checkout for B2B buyers, HSN code mapping at the product level, automatic GST invoice generation at order placement (using WooCommerce PDF Invoices or a custom plugin), GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive price display based on buyer type, and GSTR-1 compatible export for your CA. For D2C brands, we integrate with Zoho Books or Tally via API for automated accounting sync.

Yes — Shiprocket integration is standard in our Indian WooCommerce builds. We configure: real-time shipping rate calculation at checkout from 15+ courier partners (Delhivery, Bluedart, XpressBees, Ekart, Shadowfax), automated AWB generation on order placement, tracking updates pushed to customers via WhatsApp and SMS, automated NDR (non-delivery report) workflows, and a returns portal. For high-volume stores, we integrate Delhivery or Bluedart directly via API for custom SLAs and branded tracking pages.

Yes — COD setup is standard for Indian WooCommerce stores where COD typically accounts for 30–50% of orders. We configure: COD as a payment option with optional extra fee or PIN code filtering (disable COD in non-serviceable pin codes), prepaid discount incentive to shift COD buyers to digital payment, Razorpay Thirdwatch or ShipRocket's built-in COD verification call for high-risk orders, and WhatsApp order confirmation for COD orders to reduce RTO (Return to Origin). RTO reduction from WhatsApp confirmation: typically 15–20% improvement.

Yes — we handle migrations in both directions. WooCommerce-to-Shopify: products, customers, order history, and reviews migrated with full URL redirect mapping. Shopify-to-WooCommerce: useful for brands that want to eliminate the Shopify subscription fee and gain more customization control. In both cases, we map every changed URL to a 301 redirect before DNS switch, test the full checkout flow on staging, and migrate all payment and logistics integrations. Zero downtime on launch day.

FactoryJet's WordPress maintenance starts at ₹4,999/month and includes: core, theme, and plugin updates (applied to staging first, then production), daily automated backups to S3 with 30-day retention, uptime monitoring with 5-minute check intervals, monthly security scan via Wordfence, and up to 1 hour of minor content or layout changes. The ₹9,999/month plan adds up to 3 hours of development work, priority same-day response for critical issues, quarterly performance review with Lighthouse report, and a dedicated engineer who knows your codebase.

Yes — 100% ownership. The full WordPress theme code is delivered to your GitHub on launch day. You own every PHP file, every CSS file, every ACF field configuration, and all plugin customizations. You can hire any WordPress developer in India or globally to maintain or extend it — no FactoryJet dependency baked in. We document the theme structure, custom post types, and any non-obvious configuration during the handover walkthrough. You will not need archaeology to understand what we built.

For sites on our maintenance plan: we respond within 4 hours, restore from the most recent clean backup, audit and remove the malware, patch the vulnerability that was exploited, and harden the security configuration. For sites not on a maintenance plan, we offer emergency malware removal at ₹9,999 flat — with a post-cleanup report detailing what was compromised and how. We recommend moving to a maintenance plan immediately after any compromise, as rehacked sites are common without systematic hardening.

Yes — plugin update management is one of the highest-risk activities on a WordPress site. Our process: we run all updates on a staging clone first, test critical user flows (contact forms, checkout, login, any custom functionality) before applying to production, and roll back immediately if anything breaks. For sites with custom plugin integrations or heavily modified themes, we do a compatibility review before major WordPress core updates. This process prevents the 'I updated plugins and now my site is broken' emergency — which we fix at cost for maintenance clients.

Yes — training is included in every project. We deliver a recorded screen-share walkthrough (30–45 minutes) covering: adding and editing pages in the block editor, publishing blog posts with images and SEO metadata, updating contact information and business hours, managing WooCommerce products and orders (for e-commerce builds), and handling common questions. The recording is yours to keep and share with future staff. For larger teams, we offer 1:1 training sessions at ₹2,500/hour.
