RubyWeb is a WordPress development agency for US businesses – building conversion-focused WordPress websites, WooCommerce stores, custom plugins, and CRM integrations that generate leads, grow revenue, and perform under real-world pressure.
Most US businesses that hire offshore get burned once. Then they find a partner who communicates clearly, delivers on time, and builds sites that actually move the needle. That’s what we do – from a senior, English-speaking team that treats every project like it’s our own business to grow.
Most US businesses come to us after the same experience. The website exists. Traffic arrives. But the leads don’t follow – and no one can explain why. Maybe it’s low conversions from a checkout that loses buyers at the last step. Maybe it’s poor SEO performance keeping you off the first page entirely. Maybe the site was built without any commercial thinking behind it.
Whatever the trigger, the result is the same: a website that should be your hardest-working asset has quietly become an overhead. We know how to change that.
Low conversion rate - traffic arrives, leads don’t follow
Poor SEO performance keeping your site off page one
Slow load times and weak Core Web Vitals hurting rankings and experience
A site that no longer reflects the business you’ve built
An online store leaving revenue behind with every abandoned cart
Systems that don’t connect - CRM, website, and booking tool all running separately
You’ve hired offshore before. It didn’t go the way it should have.
We organize our work by the outcome you need, not by service category. Four areas, every brief covered.
Growth & Conversion
Website creation, eCommerce development, and UX audits aligned to revenue, conversion, and lead generation outcomes.
Performance & Stability
Speed optimisation, proactive maintenance, security, and managed hosting – keeping your digital presence at its peak.
Systems & Integration
CRM and API integrations, custom plugin development, and CMS setup that bridges your site and your operations.
Brand & Experience
Brand identity, visual design systems, and UX design that create a consistent, compelling presence at every touchpoint.
A proven five-stage framework that ensures every web project is built around commercial outcomes, not just deliverables.
Every project runs through the same structured process – benchmarked against Google Lighthouse. No Monday or Friday launches. Ever.
We look at what you have before we plan what to build. No assumptions, no copy-paste from the last client.
Scope, timeline, milestones, and communication rhythm agreed upfront. You’ll know what’s happening before a single tool is opened.
Structure before style. We map how users move through the site and agree on the architecture before design begins. This is where conversion is built in - not bolted on.
Brand-aligned visuals with clear feedback checkpoints. Nothing moves to development without your sign-off.
Every page needs final copy, images, and assets before the build starts. We manage this actively - most project delays live here, and we protect against that early.
Clean code, regular updates, no surprises. A 50% deposit secures your start date.
We test across devices and browsers before you see it. You review and sign off before anyone talks about launch.
Tuesday to Thursday only. Google Lighthouse benchmarked, fully documented, handed off with training.
Here’s the honest version. Our South African base means our rates are genuinely competitive against US agencies. But that’s not why US businesses stay. They stay because the WordPress development work holds up, the process keeps them informed, and they’re never left wondering what’s happening.
We’re not an offshore production house. We’re a senior, English-speaking team with over 50 years of combined expertise – and a delivery process that makes the distance invisible.
We needed a web partner who could work to our standards, our timeline, and our budget. RubyWeb delivered all three — without us having to manage them.
No translation delays, no miscommunication. Clear, direct updates on a schedule that works across US time zones, with a dedicated project manager as your single point of contact throughout.
Eight phases on every WordPress development project, without exception. You always know what’s been done, what’s in progress, and what’s coming next.
US businesses benchmark against US agency rates. We deliver to the same standard at rates that reflect our South African base – without cutting corners on expertise, process, or outcomes.
Every site is performance-tested before it goes live. Core Web Vitals, speed, accessibility, SEO – measured and included in your handoff documentation.
StickyThings had the products, the catalogue, and the market position. Then a site rebuild and a Google Core Update combined to cut their organic traffic in half. We were brought in to fix what had broken - structurally, technically, and commercially - and give the business the foundation it needed to recover and grow.

Boland Rentals had grown into a single, unified business - but their digital presence still looked like three separate companies. Fragmented domains, duplicated content, inconsistent branding, and diluted SEO. We consolidated everything into one platform that actually reflected the business behind it.

Klein Constantia has spent centuries building one of South Africa's most celebrated wine estates. Their website wasn't keeping pace. We rebuilt their digital presence from the ground up - modernising the eCommerce experience, integrating their inventory systems, and delivering a platform as refined as the wines they produce.
More about this Project →We’ve built WordPress websites and WooCommerce stores across a wide range of sectors. Deep experience means we know what works in your market before the brief is written.
WordPress development costs vary by scope and complexity. A straightforward WordPress website typically starts from $5,000–$10,000 USD. A WooCommerce store, custom plugin build, or site with CRM integrations will run higher. We provide a fixed-price quote before any project begins – no hourly rates, no scope creep surprises. For US clients, our South African base means premium-quality WordPress development at rates that are genuinely competitive against US agencies.
A typical WordPress website build runs 6–12 weeks from kickoff to launch. A WooCommerce development project typically runs 8–14 weeks. Custom plugin development is scoped individually. Timelines are agreed at the planning stage and tracked through all eight delivery phases – you always know exactly where your project stands.
Yes – when it’s built correctly. WordPress supports technical SEO, metadata management, structured content, and Core Web Vitals optimization better than most platforms. The key is in the build: clean code, fast load times, proper heading structure, and SEO-ready architecture from day one. Every site we deliver is Google Lighthouse benchmarked at launch.
WordPress is the content management system that powers the website. WooCommerce is the plugin layer that adds full eCommerce functionality: product listings, shopping cart, checkout, payment processing, and order management. If you need an online store, you typically need both. We build and develop both – often within the same engagement.
Yes – and we do it regularly. Every project has a dedicated project manager and a structured communication cadence: weekly updates, a shared project tracker, and defined feedback windows at every milestone. Most US clients find our process more transparent than anything they’ve experienced with a local agency. The time zone difference is a scheduling consideration, not a delivery barrier.
Yes. We offer every project client a monthly WordPress maintenance plan at project handoff: security monitoring, plugin updates, uptime management, and backups, on a flat monthly fee. Managed WordPress hosting through our own infrastructure is also available. The goal is to be your long-term web partner, not your one-time build vendor.
