WordPress developer in San Diego: fix it, speed it up, or replace it
If you are looking for a WordPress developer in San Diego, you usually have one of three problems: the site is slow, something is broken or hacked, or you want to leave WordPress without losing your rankings. Velour Web handles all three. We fix and speed up existing WordPress sites, and for most small businesses we recommend rebuilding as hand-coded static pages, which removes plugin updates and security patches for good. Rebuilds cost $3,000 to $12,000.
WordPress help we provide
Speed fixes: image compression, removing unused plugins and scripts, caching and hosting changes that take a typical WordPress site from 3 to 6 seconds on mobile to under 2. Repairs: broken layouts after updates, plugin conflicts, forms that stopped sending, white screens. Cleanups after a hack, followed by hardening. And migrations: from WordPress to custom code, or from a bad host to a good one.
- Site speed and Core Web Vitals fixes
- Broken theme, plugin and form repairs
- Hacked-site cleanup and hardening
- Hosting migration
- Full rebuild as custom code, keeping every ranking URL
When to leave WordPress
WordPress is the right tool for a publishing team editing daily. For a local business with a 10-page site, it is a maintenance burden: weekly updates, plugin licenses, the most-attacked platform on the web, and a theme that ships code for every layout you do not use. A hand-coded site has no admin login, no database and no plugins. It loads in under a second and there is nothing to patch.
A rebuild keeps your content, your domain and your rankings: we inventory every URL, redirect the ones that change, migrate the content, and launch a faster site. Most clients see rankings hold in the first month and improve after.
What a WordPress-to-custom migration costs
$3,000 to $7,000 for a rebuild with existing content, $6,000 to $12,000 with rewritten content and new photos, more for online stores. Speed fixes and repairs on an existing WordPress site are quoted hourly at $120 or as a small fixed project after a free audit on the call.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you just fix my WordPress site without rebuilding it?
Yes. Speed fixes, repairs and hack cleanups are done on the existing site. We only recommend a rebuild when the site is on a heavy theme or builder and fixing it would cost about as much as replacing it.
Will I lose my rankings if I leave WordPress?
Not with a redirect map. We keep the URLs that rank or redirect them permanently, keep the content, and launch a faster site. Rankings usually improve because of the speed.
Do you build new WordPress sites?
Rarely, and only when a client needs WordPress's editing workflow. For most San Diego businesses a custom-coded site is faster, safer and cheaper to run, and that is what we recommend.
My WordPress site was hacked. What do I do?
Call us. We take the site offline if needed, clean it, restore from a good backup where one exists, and harden it. For sites that have been hacked more than once, a rebuild as static code removes the attack surface entirely.
