Costin Botez

Costin Botez trades as a solo WordPress developer based in London, working with established UK businesses across a range of industries rather than one specific niche. The practice is positioned around fixed-scope engagements, with typical projects priced between £2,500 and £15,000 or more depending on requirements, and is built for clients who need a single point of contact for custom builds, technical support and ongoing maintenance rather than a large agency team. The service list covers custom WordPress builds using ACF and hand-coded themes intended to accommodate growth without requiring a rebuild, alongside SaaS and MVP development for getting a product in front of users for validation. Technical work includes speed and performance fixes aimed at Core Web Vitals, technical SEO to address structural issues affecting search and AI visibility, and security hardening against common vulnerabilities such as compromised plugins. Ongoing relationships are supported through maintenance packages covering updates, backups and monitoring, plus an aftercare growth retainer combining measurement, conversion fixes and intent-page work with monthly reporting. The stated process runs through five fixed steps — discovery call, fixed proposal, milestone-based build, launch with documentation and handover, and a post-launch support window with an optional ongoing care plan. A published roadmap also outlines an eight-stage learning path from WordPress foundations through WooCommerce, plugin and API development, performance, SEO and headless Next.js front ends, linked to corresponding case studies.
