Belov Digital is a senior WordPress agency serving San Francisco companies since 2012. We build custom WordPress websites, web applications, and WooCommerce stores for San Francisco’s SaaS, AI/ML startups, fintech, biotech, and venture-backed e-commerce sectors. 2,600+ projects shipped, in-house team, transparent $80-120/hour pricing.
WordPress development for San Francisco businesses
San Francisco is the highest-density tech market in the world — VC-backed SaaS, AI labs, fintech infrastructure, and consumer products that need to ship at startup speed. WordPress shows up at every layer of these companies: marketing sites, developer docs, careers pages, community hubs, and customer-facing content systems. Design bars are high, engineering bars are higher, and turnaround expectations are measured in days, not quarters.
We’ve built WordPress sites for Bay Area SaaS launches, AI startup brands, biotech IPO sites, and YC alumni — the kinds of projects where the design system needs to scale with the product roadmap and the engineering needs to survive a Series B audit. Not a Page Builder bolt-on. Production WordPress that holds up under VC scrutiny.

Why San Francisco companies choose Belov Digital
We’re design-led, engineering-grade — the team SF founders and VPs of Marketing hire when their last agency couldn’t ship.
- WordPress is what we do — not one of twelve services. Our developers are senior WordPress specialists, not generalists learning the platform on your project.
- Pacific Time engagement — most of our team overlaps with SF working hours for several productive hours every day. Real-time Slack until your afternoon, async docs for everything else.
- Transparent pricing. Hourly $80-120 based on seniority. Maintenance from $250/month. Fixed-fee project quotes turned around in 48 hours.
- In-house team. Every developer, designer, and PM is on our payroll. No agency-of-agencies markup, no offshore subcontracting.
- Twelve years of WordPress specialization. Edge cases we’ve debugged for one client are solved before they hit the next. Real speed advantage on every project.
How we work with San Francisco clients
Two engagement models cover most San Francisco clients:
- Project-based work — new builds, redesigns, migrations, custom plugin development. Fixed-fee, scoped from a discovery call, milestones tied to deliverables. Most San Francisco projects run 6-14 weeks from kickoff to launch.
- Monthly retainers — ongoing dev capacity, maintenance, and improvements after launch. Most long-term San Francisco clients run on retainers between $1,500 and $8,000/month depending on roadmap pace.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Bay Area startups and SaaS companies?
Yes — most of our SF clients are venture-backed SaaS or AI startups. We understand the urgency, the design bar, and the engineering rigor those teams require.
Can you collaborate with our in-house design team?
Frequently. Many SF startups have strong in-house designers — we plug in as the WordPress engineering specialists, taking Figma files and shipping production code without design drift.
How do you handle the time zone difference?
We overlap with Pacific Time for several productive hours each day. Most updates are async via Slack and Notion; live meetings happen during your morning or early afternoon.
What WordPress stack do you use for high-traffic SF sites?
Custom themes built on FSE or Underscores, ACF Pro for editorial flexibility, headless setups with Next.js when SEO requirements allow, Cloudflare/Vercel/Kinsta for hosting, and Redis object cache for any traffic spike scenarios.
Do you handle ongoing maintenance after launch?
Yes — monthly retainers from $250/month covering security patches, performance monitoring, and dev capacity for ongoing improvements.
