WordPress Development Services in Malta

Custom WordPress themes, plugins, and performance-optimised websites built by Malta's engineering-led WordPress specialists. From brochure sites to complex membership platforms.

What We Deliver

End-to-end solutions engineered for performance and growth.

Custom Theme Development

Bespoke WordPress themes built from scratch or deeply customised starter themes. Fully responsive, accessible, Gutenberg-compatible, and engineered for speed — not cobbled together with page builder shortcuts.

Plugin Engineering

Custom WordPress plugins built to WordPress coding standards. From advanced custom post types and REST API endpoints to complex business logic and third-party integrations — we build plugins that are maintainable, testable, and upgrade-safe.

Performance & Core Web Vitals

Speed is not optional. We optimise every WordPress build for sub-two-second load times with image compression, lazy loading, critical CSS, server-level caching, CDN integration, and database tuning. Your Core Web Vitals will pass with room to spare.

WordPress Security Hardening

Comprehensive security from day one. We implement firewall rules, brute-force protection, file integrity monitoring, two-factor authentication, role-based access control, and regular vulnerability scanning. Your site stays locked down and compliant.

WooCommerce Integration

Need eCommerce on WordPress? We integrate WooCommerce with custom product types, payment gateways, shipping calculators, and inventory management. A seamless shopping experience that lives alongside your content.

Migration & Rescue

Migrating from Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or a broken WordPress install? We handle full content migration, URL redirect mapping, SEO preservation, and cleanup of hacked or neglected sites. We bring your web presence back to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a custom WordPress website cost in Malta?

A brochure or corporate WordPress site typically costs between EUR 2,500 and EUR 10,000 depending on the number of pages, custom functionality, and design complexity. More advanced builds — such as membership platforms, multilingual sites, or complex integrations — can range from EUR 10,000 to EUR 30,000+. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after an initial discovery call so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to build a WordPress website?

A standard brochure site with five to ten pages takes around three to five weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex projects — custom themes with advanced functionality, third-party integrations, or membership systems — typically take six to twelve weeks. We provide a clear timeline during the proposal phase and keep you updated with weekly progress reports.

Do you provide WordPress hosting or can I use my own?

Both. We can recommend and set up managed WordPress hosting on platforms like Cloudways, Kinsta, or WP Engine that deliver excellent performance and security for Maltese and European audiences. If you already have hosting, we will work with your provider. We always ensure the hosting environment meets our performance and security standards before launch.

Will my WordPress site be optimised for SEO?

Absolutely. SEO best practices are built into every WordPress site we develop. This includes clean URL structures, proper heading hierarchy, structured data markup, XML sitemaps, image optimisation, fast load times, and mobile responsiveness. We also configure plugins like Yoast SEO or Rank Math and provide guidance on content strategy to help you rank for your target keywords in Malta and beyond.

Do you offer ongoing WordPress maintenance and support?

Yes. We offer monthly maintenance plans that cover WordPress core updates, plugin and theme updates, security monitoring, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and performance checks. Plans start from EUR 150 per month. We also offer ad-hoc support for one-off changes or troubleshooting. Keeping WordPress up to date is critical for security, so we strongly recommend a maintenance plan for every site we build.
