Belov Digital is a senior WordPress agency serving Washington DC companies since 2012. We build custom WordPress websites, web applications, and WooCommerce stores for Washington DC’s government contractors, trade associations, nonprofits, lobbying, legal, and policy media sectors. 2,600+ projects shipped, in-house team, transparent $80-120/hour pricing.
WordPress development for Washington DC businesses
Washington DC’s economy is anchored by the federal government and the ecosystem around it — defense contractors, trade associations, lobbying firms, policy nonprofits, legal practices, and the media organizations covering them all. WordPress is the dominant CMS across this landscape, especially for membership-driven associations and donation-driven nonprofits.
We’ve built WordPress sites for DC trade associations, nonprofits, policy think tanks, and legal practices. Membership-portal integrations (iMIS, YourMembership), donation forms (GiveWP, Stripe), accessibility-first builds (Section 508), and the kind of editorial workflows that support fast-moving policy content.
