Pricing
WordPress modernization pricing
Clear starting prices and typical price ranges for scans, audits, decision roadmaps, delivery, migrations and ongoing maintenance.
Start with the price for the question you need answered
Diagnosis, decision, implementation and recurring care are separate deliverables. You may need only one layer, or use several in sequence when each resolves a different uncertainty.
All prices are in USD. Final quotes reflect the agreed scope and dependencies. Taxes and third-party costs are excluded unless stated.
| Service layer | Price | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress Scan | Free | Automated public-data assessment, bounded interpretation and a suggested next route. |
| Technical Audit | From $750 USD; Full $1,500–3,500 USD | Evidence, likely root cause, risk and remediation priorities for agreed modules. |
| Decision Roadmaps | $450–950 USD to $5,000–15,000 USD | A written decision, priorities and vendor-neutral implementation brief. |
| Modernization Engineering | Not separately priced | Capability layer used within a scoped Technical Audit or Modernization Delivery engagement. |
| Modernization Delivery | From $3,000 USD; typical bounded phase $5,000–15,000 USD | Controlled implementation, validation, acceptance and handover. |
| Maintenance & Support | $300 USD / $500 USD per month plus one-time onboarding | Recurring care for an accepted baseline; Continuous Improvement is a distinct capacity option. |

| WordPress Security Audit | From $750 USD; typical $1,000–2,500 USD | Not a guarantee of security or breach response. |
| PathToProject Accessibility Readiness Check (opens in a new tab) | Free | Automated public first look, not certification. |
| Manual WordPress Accessibility Audit | $1,250–2,750 USD | Human review of an agreed page, template and workflow sample. |
Decision Roadmap pricing
| Route | Best for | Roadmap investment, United States dollars (USD) | Typical timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stabilize → | Risky updates, unreliable forms, backups, performance and a first fix plan | $450–950 USD | 3–5 working days |
| Modernize → | Repair, phased modernization, migration, replatforming or rebuild decisions | $1,500–3,500 USD | 10–15 working days |
| Govern → | Multisite, portfolio governance, compliance, procurement and cross-team alignment | $5,000–15,000 USD | 15–20 working days |
These are Decision Roadmap fees, not implementation budgets. Timing starts after fit review, evidence boundaries and scope are confirmed.

A bounded first implementation phase with an agreed outcome.

Several workstreams, sites or complex dependencies.
| Specific route | Price range | Boundary |

Maintenance & Support pricing
| Plan | Monthly maintenance price | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| Ongoing Maintenance | $300 USD per month | One accepted stable WordPress site with a standard stack and a controlled weekly maintenance cycle. |
| Broader-scope Ongoing Maintenance | $500 USD per month | One accepted stable WordPress site that needs deeper validation, dependency awareness or provider coordination. |
| Custom Maintenance | Custom scoped | Multiple sites, multisite or portfolio governance, significant server responsibility, active third-party delivery teams or after-hours coverage. |
Both recurring plans require an accepted stable baseline and share monitoring, backup oversight, controlled updates, agreed workflow validation, human triage and a human-readable monthly report. Continuous Improvement is separate. Recovery, Audit or Delivery work receives a separate scope, and no plan guarantees a resolution time.

Frequently asked questions
Why not show one universal WordPress modernization price?
Diagnosis, decision and delivery are different deliverables. A useful price must name the agreed scope, dependencies, exclusions and acceptance responsibility.
Are the local-business and update-recovery amounts fixed prices?
No. They are current, location-neutral price ranges. The final quote follows fit and scope review.
How is a Technical Audit priced?
A Focused Technical Audit starts at $750 USD and is typically $750–1,500 USD; Full and Complex Audit ranges are shown above. The final quote follows review of the technical question, modules, evidence access and desired output.
