WordPress Web Development
We design and build websites that meet even the highest expectations
Why WordPress?
Open Source
The WordPress CMS offers a free license and full access to the system’s source code. This enables developers to implement changes in its structure. At Smartbees, we build WordPress websites tailored to the client’s needs.
Integration options
The system’s popularity and open structure enable easy integrations with external tools, such as marketing automation and analytics. Our team can implement integrations that enhance your website and allow for more effective business management.
Easy management
WordPress was initially built to facilitate the creation and management of blogs for inexperienced users. As the system evolved, its philosophy remained unchanged, and it continues to be a highly intuitive, easy-to-use solution. Its key features include a clear dashboard and a simple, easy-to-navigate content editor, even for users with no programming knowledge.
Versatility
Contrary to popular belief, WordPress isn’t just for simple websites. Thanks to countless plugins, themes, open-source nature, and long-standing presence on the market, it’s perfect for building a variety of projects, from blogs and business sites to complex websites and online stores. At Smartbees, we don’t limit ourselves to simple websites either – we can tailor WordPress to your business needs.
Solution availability
It’s hard to find another system with such a rich library of publicly available solutions. Ready-made themes, extensions, and an engaged community actively develop and improve WordPress, making it an increasingly better solution for businesses and individual users. Currently, the system’s official website offers over 60,000 free plugins for various software versions.
E-commerce
As mentioned, WordPress isn’t only for building websites. The free plugin WooCommerce extends the system’s capabilities with e-commerce features. This enables running both a comprehensive website and a WooCommerce online store simultaneously. At Smartbees, we can create everything from a simple WooCommerce store to a medium-scale sales system that can be expanded in the future.

The Process of Building a WordPress Website
WordPress Project Estimation
WordPress Project Estimation
Every project is different, so we create each estimation individually. During the pricing phase, it’s crucial to understand your expectations and the project’s scope. This information allows us to prepare the most precise proposal possible. Otherwise, we can only provide rough price estimates, which may significantly differ from the actual solution cost.
Website and Online Store Design
Website and Online Store Design
From both the client’s and the developer’s perspective, graphic design is a key stage. After all, the visual aspect of a website largely influences the user’s first impression. Generally, you have two approaches to choose from: building a website with a pre-made theme or custom graphics. At Smartbees, we design WordPress websites from scratch to perfectly suit your needs.

Building a WordPress Website
This stage is preceded by thorough project planning, including dividing the implementation into phases. This allows us to present the results of our work in stages. It also ensures regular insight into our activities and guarantees that everything remains on schedule.
Testing and Implementing the Website
Testing and Implementing the Website
The development work culminates in final manual and automated project testing. Only after this phase and your approval are we ready to deploy the website to the live server. Depending on your needs, we can also assist with the migration to a production environment if your internal IT team prefers to handle the process.

FAQ
Want to learn more about WordPress? See our FAQ. If you have more questions, feel free to reach out!
Is WordPress safe?
WordPress is equipped with numerous security features, and the developers regularly release updates that address key vulnerabilities. However, security must be properly maintained for every WordPress website. For example, if you don’t install an SSL certificate or postpone system updates, you expose your business to cyberattacks.
What is WooCommerce?
WordPress websites are not natively equipped with the features required for selling online. That’s where WooCommerce comes in handy. It is a comprehensive and easy-to-install plugin that allows you to transform the platform into a fully functional online store.
Why is it worth using WordPress?
WordPress has been very popular for many years. Its low barrier to entry, supportive community, and vast library of available extensions and themes make it a platform anyone looking to build a website should consider.
Is managing a WordPress website difficult?
WordPress is one of the simplest content management systems, originally built with bloggers in mind. It boasts intuitive navigation and a simplified dashboard. Even someone with no technical background can navigate and edit content with ease.
How much does a WordPress website cost?
Using WordPress is completely free. Of course, setting up a website involves additional costs, such as a domain, hosting, and certain extensions. The final cost of a WordPress website depends on many different factors. At Smartbees, WordPress websites start at 20,000 PLN net.
How long does it take to create a WordPress website?
The time required to implement a website depends on the project’s complexity and the information provided by the client. Generally, we create simple WordPress websites within 6-8 weeks of signing a contract, while more complex projects can take up to 12 weeks.
Are WordPress websites SEO-friendly?
WordPress offers numerous solutions that help optimize any project for search engines. As part of our work, we can handle your website’s SEO within your specified scope, and our qualified team can audit the implementation to ensure everything is set up correctly.
Do you create WordPress-based online stores?
Of course. Our services include building simple WooCommerce-based web stores. We can also provide graphic design or support your e-commerce platform.
Do you offer post-implementation support?
Yes, we provide support and development services for both WordPress websites and stores we created, as well as those implemented by other agencies. We offer various collaboration forms – hourly packages, subscriptions, and ad hoc assistance.
Do you migrate content from one website to another?
Migration scope depends on the previous website’s structure and requires advance planning. It may include subpages, blog posts, multimedia, and selected SEO data.
Is WordPress suitable for custom features?
The system doesn’t have to rely solely on ready-made plugins. It can be expanded with custom solutions. This includes calculators, customer service, forms, and more.
Can a WordPress website grow with the company?
WordPress can be developed in stages, so you don’t have to implement every feature at once. As your business grows, you can add new sections, integrations, modules, or user roles without building a website from scratch.
