Three ways to work together.

I work with agencies and design studios in three ways. Most relationships start with a build. Some develop into ongoing partnerships.

01

Website Audit

$400 – $700

A structured technical review of your client's existing WordPress site. Useful before a rebuild or when you need to understand the current state before scoping work.

Who it's for

Agencies inheriting a legacy site before a redesign. Design leads who need to understand what they are working with. Clients wanting a clear picture of technical debt before committing to a rebuild.

What's included

  • Performance audit: load time, Core Web Vitals, server response, image handling.
  • Content structure review: how the CMS is set up, whether it matches editorial needs.
  • Technical SEO assessment: crawlability, schema markup, structured data, indexing.
  • AI-readiness check: how well the site surfaces in AI-assisted search.
  • Written report with prioritised recommendations.
  • One follow-up call to walk through findings.
Timeline

Delivered within five business days of site access.

WordPress Build

$5,000 – $12,000

Your agency handles design and strategy. I handle the WordPress implementation. Custom development, clean code, built for performance and search. The standard setup for agency partnerships.

Who it's for

Agencies with a Figma or Sketch file ready for development. Studios that do not have a WordPress developer on staff and need one they can trust to deliver.

What's included

  • Custom WordPress theme built to the design specification.
  • Custom post types, taxonomies, and CMS structure matched to editorial needs.
  • Plugin selection, configuration, and integration.
  • Mobile-ready, performance-optimized build.
  • Structured data and technical SEO implementation.
  • QA across devices and browsers.
  • Launch support and clean handoff to the client.
  • 30-day post-launch support included.
Timeline

2 to 4 weeks depending on scope. Discussed and agreed before work begins.

Not included

Design, copywriting, photography, hosting procurement, or ongoing maintenance after the 30-day support window.

Ongoing Partnership

$800 – $2,500 / month

A retainer for agencies managing multiple client sites or with ongoing WordPress development needs. One trusted developer, available when you need them.

Who it's for

Agencies with two or more active WordPress client sites. Studios that have completed a build with Vimal and want to continue the relationship. Creative teams that need reliable WordPress support without managing a contractor relationship from scratch each time.

What's included

  • Monthly maintenance for agreed client sites: updates, security, backups, monitoring.
  • Development hours for new features, content type changes, and integrations.
  • Priority response for urgent issues.
  • Performance reviews and recommendations quarterly.
  • One point of contact, consistent communication.
Commitment

Month-to-month. No lock-in after the first three months.

Not sure which tier fits?

Most conversations start with a quick call.

Tell me what you are working on and I will tell you honestly whether it is a good fit.
