WordPress developer · Sarasota
We build custom WordPress sites and custom plugins for businesses in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Lakewood Ranch. Galleries, boutiques, clinics, and contractors — the common thread is a WordPress site that needs to do one specific thing the plugin directory doesn't sell.
From the arts district to the Sarasota–Bradenton corridor to the marinas out on the bay, Sarasota businesses serve customers who expect polish. We build sites that meet that bar — without the retainer of a big design agency, and without pretending to be something we're not.
Theaters, galleries, studios, and the businesses that orbit them serve an audience that judges design for a living. Season schedules, exhibition pages, ticketing links — built clean, fast, and considered enough to sit next to the work itself.
Sarasota's law firms, financial and medical practices, and home-service companies serve a lot of affluent retirees who research before they call. That means readable type, clear service pages, and a site that works as well on a tablet in Lakewood Ranch as a phone on Main Street.
Booking that actually books, seasonal schedules that are easy to update, and pages that load fast on a phone at the dock. We build for businesses whose storefront is the Gulf.
We won't pretend to have a Sarasota office — we're based in Tampa, roughly an hour north on I-75. Working previews, video calls, and plain-English quotes travel that distance just fine, and when an in-person meeting genuinely helps, the drive is short.
Every project gets a written scope and a fixed price before we build anything — but you shouldn't need a sales call to see the ballpark. These are the typical ranges our projects land in.
Brochure sites — typically $2,000–$5,000 A handful of well-crafted pages: who you are, what you do, how to reach you. Right for practices and small businesses that mainly need to look credible and get found.
Business sites with moving parts — typically $5,000–$12,000 Online booking, e-commerce, galleries with real content management, event and season schedules. Most Sarasota projects land here.
Custom web applications — typically $15,000 and up Customer portals, custom booking and quoting systems, integrations between the tools you already use. Scoped in plain English, quoted fixed.
The full breakdown Numbers only mean something with context. Our guide to what a website costs in the Tampa Bay area covers what drives price up or down, what ongoing costs look like, and the quotes you should walk away from.
Arts and retail, clinics, luxury services, and the trades — WordPress builds and plugin work that fit a small staff running the site day to day.
A hand-built theme matched to your brand, on the block editor, with no page builder slowing down every page load.
Booking, quoting, portals, integrations with the software your office already runs — one plugin built to spec, source code yours.
Plugin conflicts, hacked installs, abandoned plugins, and sites nobody left documentation for.
Core, theme, and plugin updates tested on staging first, plus backups and monitoring — so update day stops being a gamble.
