Your Questions, Answered

What is a WordPress agency?

A WordPress development agency specializes in designing, building, and maintaining websites using WordPress. At Syde, we go beyond templates and plugins to create custom, enterprise-level WordPress solutions that are scalable, secure, and optimized for performance and growth.

What makes Syde an enterprise WordPress agency?

As Europe’s biggest WordPress agency and a WordPress VIP Gold Partner, we specialize in large-scale, high-traffic, and mission-critical platforms. From multilingual architectures to complex integrations and compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2), we deliver enterprise-grade WordPress solutions trusted by global brands.

How is working with a WordPress agency different from hiring a freelancer?

A top-tier WordPress agency like Syde brings a full team of experts—project managers, developers, designers, QA analysts, and strategists—ensuring a holistic approach from strategy to post-launch support. Unlike freelancers, we offer structured processes, long-term support, and the ability to scale your platform as your business grows

How much does a custom WordPress website cost?

Custom WordPress development costs vary based on complexity and features. Typical projects with an experienced WordPress agency like Syde range from $10,000 to $50,000+ for initial development, with ongoing maintenance starting around $2,000 annually. As an enterprise WordPress agency, we focus on long-term ROI, not just launch-day costs.

Can Syde support multilingual and multi-site WordPress projects?

Yes—multilingual and multi-site setups are our specialty. We build scalable architectures using MultilingualPress, allowing you to manage multiple regions, languages, and currencies—all from a central dashboard. Perfect for global enterprise WordPress platforms.

What industries does Syde work with?

We’ve built WordPress solutions for universities, media organizations, ecommerce brands, pharmaceutical companies, and more. Whether you’re in education, publishing, or digital commerce, our enterprise WordPress development experience ensures we understand your unique challenges.

What does Syde provide beyond development?

As a full-service WordPress agency, we provide end-to-end lifecycle support, including UI/UX design, custom integrations, performance optimization, technical SEO, security hardening, content migration, training, and continuous improvement. With Syde, you’re not just building a website—you’re investing in a platform for growth.

How does Syde ensure security and compliance?

Security is built into every step. As an experienced WordPress agency, we understand and follow secure coding practices, implement firewalls, perform regular updates, and ensure compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC2. We deliver secure WordPress websites that meet enterprise standards—without relying on plugins.

Do you offer ongoing WordPress maintenance and support?

Absolutely—and as a trusted WordPress agency, we make it work for your setup. Whether you need full-service coverage, backup support for your internal team, or just someone on call for emergencies, we tailor our maintenance plans to fit. Our goal is to make you self-sufficient. That means clean, well-documented code and hands-on training so you’re not dependent on us—unless you want to be.

Can you handle content migration from our current platform?

Yes—content migration is one of our core strengths as an experienced WordPress agency. From multilingual blogs and product catalogs to full enterprise CMS transitions, we’ve done it all. We combine smart automation with manual QA to ensure your content is migrated accurately, SEO-intact, and ready to scale. We also handle redirects, metadata, internal links, and cleanup—so everything works exactly as it should on launch day.

Do you support SEO as part of development?

Yes—as a dedicated WordPress agency, our development is built on a strong technical SEO foundation. That includes fast performance, semantic HTML, and clean, crawlable code.

We can also help with:

– SEO audits and site structure consulting

– Technical setup: sitemaps, schema, robots.txt

– Plugin configuration (e.g., Yoast, Rank Math)

– International SEO and multilingual structure

Need internal training? We offer that too—so your team can manage SEO confidently post-launch.

What if we already have a WordPress site?

We can audit, improve, and scale your existing WordPress setup. Whether it needs a performance overhaul, a design refresh, or complex integrations, we’ll help you evolve your platform without starting from scratch.

Why choose Syde over other WordPress agencies?

With 19+ years of experience, 10,000+ projects, and 130+ global WordPress experts, Syde delivers scalable, custom WordPress platforms built for enterprise growth. We’re fully remote, deeply experienced, and focused on long-term partnership—not just project delivery.

Do you work with other CMS platforms like Drupal, AEM or Typo3?

We are a 100% WordPress agency by design, which is how we became WordPress VIP Gold Agency Partners and certified WooExperts.

By specializing, we deliver deeper expertise, stronger performance, and scalable solutions that meet the demands of enterprise teams.

That said, we regularly help organizations migrate from platforms like AEM, Drupal, or Typo3 to WordPress. Our structured migration process protects your content, SEO, and architecture—so nothing gets lost in the move.

Where is Syde based, and who will I be working with?

Syde was founded in Damme, Germany—but we’ve been fully remote since day one. Our 130+ WordPress experts work across 35+ countries and time zones, giving us the flexibility to support clients around the world.

You’ll collaborate directly with real people—dedicated project managers, developers, designers, and strategists—through clear, efficient workflows built for global teams.
