Is your WordPress site wearing you down?
Staying on top of WordPress security, updates, performance, and useability is a lot. That goes double when you’re trying to run your business, too.
Luckily, there’s a solution: Hire WordPress expert help and let the professionals take care of it all for you.
StateWP has years of experience building and maintaining WordPress sites. Read on to learn how we can help.
Why Trust StateWP?
We’ve carefully assembled an expert team at StateWP. Even our most junior developer has about 10 years of experience, and our most senior developer has over 20. We’re a small team, but we’re growing, and we punch well above our weight.
Plus, among all our developers, we offer extensive experience in both front- and back-end WordPress development services. It means we can handle the technical side, like security and updates, while also making your site more engaging and boosting your conversions.
We can back these claims with hundreds of satisfied clients across three countries. We work with businesses reaching millions on WordPress, and they all trust us to maintain their websites.
This is what they are saying about us…
How Can StateWP WordPress Experts Help You?
The short answer is that we can help you with just about anything – WordPress-wise, that is.
In fact, the only thing we can’t help you with is a WordPress.com site. We focus on WordPress.org, and we recommend you reach out to WordPress.com for help if you have a .com site.
But that aside, here’s what we can do to provide the expert WordPress help you deserve.
Fix urgent errors
If common WordPress errors are holding you and your site back, we can help. Here are just a few of the issues a WordPress security expert can solve for you:
- 404 “page not found” errors
- 500 “internal server error” issues
- 503 “service unavailable” errors
- Difficulties logging in to WordPress
- Errors establishing a database connection
- Issues with the sidebar disappearing
- The WordPress “white screen of death”
We’ve got deep dives available on all of these errors – check out our blog to learn more.
We offer 24/7 monitoring and troubleshooting for all WordPress errors and website development issues. That means we can get your site back up and running before your clients even notice a problem, which lets you enjoy some all-important peace of mind.
Maintain your site
Errors aside, keeping your site in good shape is time-consuming. And if you don’t stay on top of it, you risk your website developing obvious problems that customers will notice. If they aren’t impressed by your site, it could deter them from engaging further with your business.
That’s why StateWP offers all of the support services you need to keep your site in working order.
We handle WordPress auto-updates and ongoing site maintenance, so you know your site is always in the best possible condition to attract new leads.
Improve security
It’s estimated that roughly 13,000 WordPress sites get hacked every day. A security breach that leaves your data compromised could be a direct blow to both your bottom line and your company’s reputation.
Our 24/7 site monitoring also covers security issues. We monitor your website for any security breaches or flaws that need to be addressed and find and manage the tools and plugins that can address them.
You can also raise any questions or concerns with us at any time using our Proto dashboard, and we’ll respond with our insights and advice within 24 hours.
Optimize performance
If your site is unwieldy to use, hard to navigate, or slow to load, your customers are likely to get frustrated and walk away – and your potential leads are likely to look elsewhere.
That’s why performance and speed optimization matter, and it’s another way we can help you manage your WordPress site.
StateWP keeps your site running quickly, efficiently, and intuitively so users aren’t left hanging around. We know which plugins to install to maximize your SEO, which themes are optimized for speed, and which ads and marketing scripts could be slowing things down.
The 4 Key Benefits of Hiring StateWP Expert Help
Now you know what we can do for you – but how does any of that actually help?
We’ll show you how we can make your life easier.
Save time
Get total peace of mind
Stay in the know at all times
Save money with affordable pricing
Let’s be honest: As a business owner, you have bigger fish to fry than website maintenance.
So have us take care of it all for you.
Instead of using your valuable time managing WordPress plugin updates, dealing with bugs and errors, or trying to contact WordPress hosting providers for help, turn it over to experts who can handle it quickly, efficiently, and effectively on your behalf.
You can trust us to stay on top of all your website’s WordPress issues. We cover all your routine maintenance and security tasks, so you’ll never be caught short.
While WordPress development freelancers are an option, you can never be certain about the quality you’re getting from them. Plus, they’ll be working on their own schedule, not yours.
With StateWP, you can make unlimited requests to your dedicated account manager whenever you want. Because we’re a smaller team, we can give your website the personal one-on-one attention it deserves. There’s always someone looking out for you and your business, whatever you need.
And if there’s a problem, we offer an emergency 24/7 service with a one-day response time on any tickets you open. That includes 24-hour website monitoring for downtime, SSL, hacks, and malware.
Take a look at our case studies and testimonials for proof.
Or, if you have questions or concerns at any point, use Proto to reach out to us and ask. We’ll respond in a matter of hours, and if you need to make a request, we’ll get to it within 24 hours.
We won’t leave you in the dark – we work with you, and we want to keep you involved.
Our Starter plan bills at $99 per month, with the more advanced Premium plan billing at $299 per month. With Premium, you enjoy the security of a dedicated account manager, the long-term benefits of our training and support team, and two hours per month of website edits.
Let’s compare that to some other options on the market.
If you hire a freelancer, your WordPress support is up to your freelancer’s whims. They may not be able to attend to the work one day, or you’ll need to micromanage them to get what you want of them. If they’ve got other gigs going on, they won’t be able to give your site the attention it needs. Even after all that, you can never be sure what level of quality you’re getting.
With an in-house worker, while you know what you’re getting, it’ll cost you far more than a few hundred dollars per month.
Now compare that to StateWP, where you get the quality and dependability of an in-house WordPress development expert at a far more reasonable price point. It’s a no-brainer!

Lamano Law
StateWP maintains the website for Lamano Law, a women-led law firm serving clients in Alameda, San Francisco, and Contra Costa Counties. As a firm with a small team, Lamano Law opted to work with us to increase efficiency and save time.
Criminal defense attorney Givelle Lamano had nothing but good things to say about our services:
“I absolutely LOVE their “report a bug” feature, the quick turnaround time, their dashboard that is so easy to use, and the support that is fast. It’s nice having experts that can quickly process our requests. Their team and follow up has made us confident that our site is up to date and performing well.”

Heffernan Insurance Brokers
One of the largest independent insurance brokerage companies in the U.S., Heffernan Insurance Brokers needed their website to reflect the quality of their services.
StateWP helped them to transition from an outdated Drupal website to a fresh, user-friendly WordPress site. The new site needed:
- A website design optimized for mobile usage
- A simple navigation system for ease of client use
- An intuitive content management system to make updates simple
Today, Heffernan’s site is modern, responsive, and easy to navigate, whether on mobile or on desktop. It has improved search capabilities to help customers find what they need, and it offers convenient access to client portals for existing users. It integrates seamlessly with tools like Salesforce and Newswire, too.
We also continue to support Heffernan with website maintenance and other background tasks to ensure their website is working seamlessly and ranking highly on search engines in the competitive world of insurance. This ongoing dedication, along with improved navigation and stronger, clearer calls to action, has resulted in measurable conversion increases.
Starr King School for the Ministry
Starr King is a ministry school aiming to educate and train people for Unitarian Universalist ministry and progressive religious leadership.
When we were approached to redesign and maintain Starr King’s website, we had a clear objective: to increase engagement by providing more streamlined pathways for users to apply, inquire, donate, and learn about the history of the school. The school also wanted its new website to foster communication with the community.
With those objectives in mind, we used WordPress to redesign their site:
Features on Starr King’s updated site include:
- A mega menu for ease of navigation
- Powerful publishing tools for ease of updating and sharing content
- A user-centric web design that embodies the school’s mission of inclusivity
- Custom modules to manage faculty and course schedules
- Streamlined forms to assist in conversions
- Use of SEO and WCAG best practices throughout
We continue to support Starr King with background maintenance for their site, as well. That way, they can focus on what’s important – spreading their message – rather than worrying about messy details like WordPress plugin updates, design changes, and troubleshooting errors.

WordPress Expert Support FAQs
Still have questions about working with WordPress experts? Read on for answers to the most common queries about working with an expert in WordPress.
What is a WordPress expert?
A WordPress expert is a web developer who specializes in building and maintaining sites with WordPress. Good WordPress experts are familiar with both the front and back ends, so they can manage all aspects of your site. They typically have a deep knowledge of HTML, PHP, and CSS.
When you hire a WordPress expert, you’re hiring someone who knows how to build a great WordPress site that’s secure, efficient, and well-designed.
Who can fix my WordPress website?
If your WordPress website isn’t working, a WordPress expert can apply their experience in managing WordPress errors and help you to fix them. You have three options: an in-house employee, a freelancer, or an agency.
While freelancers are the cheapest option, they can only provide support during their personal working hours. In-house options give comprehensive support but can be costly. An agency, especially one that offers 24/7 support, gives the perfect combination of competitive pricing and in-depth support.
Should you hire a WordPress developer?
Unless you’re a big business, you typically don’t need a dedicated in-house WordPress developer. The smarter choice is to look for a WordPress agency that can give you the 24/7 support you need without pressing your budget.
Agencies such as StateWP, with wide-ranging WordPress expertise, are able to help you build, design, optimize, and maintain your ideal WordPress site.
How do you find a WordPress expert?
Websites like Fiverr are full of WordPress developers offering their services to ecommerce and other businesses that need a website support team, but freelancer quality can vary widely, so you can never be sure you’re getting what you want.
For more comprehensive services, agencies are the way to go. Look for an agency that offers 24/7 support and experience with both front- and back-end development or other tools like WooCommerce to get the best results for your site.
How do you choose a WordPress expert?
Choosing between WordPress experts can be tough. To make the most informed choice possible, consider your budget, their specific area of expertise, the challenges you’ve experienced with your WordPress site, and what other clients have to say about the expert’s work.
Keep in mind that freelance developers may not be able to offer 24/7 dedicated support. You also won’t be getting the same wide-ranging expertise as you would with a company like StateWP.
