Miami's WordPress Development Partner
Miami WordPress development for organizations publishing to English and Spanish audiences from a single site. Bolted on translation plugins wreck both performance and search visibility, so we build multilingual structure into the foundation instead.
Real Mojo Dojo clients, on the record.
English and Spanish, built into the foundation.
About 67% of Miami-Dade residents aged 5 and over speak Spanish at home, and roughly a third of all residents report speaking English less than very well. Add 28.3 million visitors in 2025, with Colombia, Brazil and Mexico among the leading international markets, and it is clear that most businesses here need a website that works fully in at least two languages. Yet many are running a translation plugin bolted onto an English site, with machine-translated pages that search engines ignore and a checkout or booking flow that switches back to English halfway through.
We build multilingual structure in from the start. Each language gets its own URLs and hreflang tags so both versions can rank. Menus, forms, emails, schema and confirmation messages are translated, not just the page body. Editors see language versions side by side and can update both without a developer, and caching is set up per language so neither version slows the other down.
The market is crowded. The county had 748,628 nonemployer businesses in 2023 against 98,394 employer establishments, and high-value categories such as real estate, legal, medical and hospitality attract heavy spend. A fast, properly bilingual WordPress site, with neighborhood pages for places like Brickell, Doral and Coral Gables, is one of the clearest ways to stand out, especially when SEO is planned for both languages from day one.

What a custom WordPress build gives you that a template does not.
A theme built from your design
We convert your approved design into a bespoke theme, with no unused layouts, no page builder bloat and no license fees tied to a theme vendor.
Editing your team can use
Custom post types, custom fields and reusable blocks mean staff update services, team pages and case studies without touching code or breaking the layout.
Speed built in, not bolted on
Lean templates, optimized images, sensible caching and Core Web Vitals targets set before we write code, not patched in at the end.
Security and updates handled
Hardened configuration, minimal plugins from maintained sources, backups and a clear update process, so the site is not the easy target it is when left to drift.
SEO structure from day one
Clean URLs, heading hierarchy, schema markup, redirects and analytics tracking are part of the build, so the site launches ready to be found.
Code you own and can hand on
Documented, standards-based code in your repository or hosting account. You are never locked in to us, and any competent WordPress developer can pick it up.

Built for search, AI answers and speed.
A WordPress site that cannot be found is an expensive brochure. We build with search in mind: crawlable templates, structured data, tidy internal linking and a redirect plan for every URL that changes. If you want expert help after launch, our WordPress SEO team works directly inside the sites we build.
Search is also moving towards AI answers, so we mark up your services, people and content so assistants can read and cite them. Read more on AI SEO. For stores, our WooCommerce SEO service covers product and category pages once the build is live.
Speed decides whether visitors stay. We test against Core Web Vitals before launch and keep tuning afterwards, and we can host the finished site on managed WordPress hosting if you want one team responsible for both.
Search in two languages is two sets of keywords, not one translated list. We research Spanish queries separately, because people often phrase them differently, and write titles, descriptions and headings for each version rather than translating them word for word.
How we work with you.
Three ways to engage. Sites running a translation plugin on top of English often begin with a rescue audit.

Monthly maintenance, updates, monitoring and a pool of development hours for changes, with a named account manager who knows your site.

WordPress, Shopify or something else?
WordPress is the right choice when content matters as much as the sale: services businesses, publishers, membership sites, B2B sites with a lot of pages, and stores that need deep content alongside the catalog. It is also the most flexible option when you need unusual functionality or want full ownership of your code and data.
For a straightforward retail catalog where hosting, checkout and payments should just work, Shopify is often the better fit. We build on both and give you an honest recommendation based on your requirements, not on what we would prefer to sell. If you are weighing a wider redesign, see our web design and development service.
Hosted store builders offer translation apps, but they often limit how URLs, checkout text and emails are handled per language. For bilingual businesses with meaningful content, WordPress gives more control over each version. For a small, simple catalog, a hosted store may still be the easier choice.
“Their team understood our business before we even had to explain it. Enquiries are up 250% and the quality is better than ever.”
How a website sells, not just how it looks.
Most websites are built by people who think about how they look. The Website Playbook is about how they sell: the funnel, the proposition, and the landing page, in the order you should work on them.

WordPress development questions.
The usual questions, plus a few about building for English and Spanish audiences. Contact us →
What does a WordPress developer actually do?
A WordPress developer builds and maintains the code behind a WordPress site: the custom theme, the content structures, plugin configuration and custom plugins, integrations with other tools, and the performance and security setup. They turn a design into a site your team can edit and keep running.
What is wrong with a translation plugin on an English site?
Often nothing is set up for search or for the full journey. Automatic translations may not be indexed, URLs and hreflang are missing, and forms, emails and checkout text stay in English. We build each language as a proper version of the site, with its own URLs and a workflow for human-reviewed translation.
How long does a WordPress project take from brief to launch?
A standard WordPress website typically takes 4 to 8 weeks from design sign-off to launch. Larger projects with WooCommerce, custom plugins or significant content migration take 8 to 14 weeks. The main variable is how quickly feedback comes back during design. Your quote includes a project plan with milestone dates.
Should I use a template or a custom WordPress theme?
A template is quicker and cheaper at the start, but it carries code and layouts you do not need, is harder to speed up and often limits what you can change. A custom theme costs more up front and gives you a faster site, editing tools shaped around your content and no dependence on a theme vendor. For a site that has to earn revenue, custom usually pays back.
Can you take over a WordPress project another developer abandoned?
Yes, and we do this regularly. We start with a technical assessment of what exists, what can be kept and what needs rebuilding, then give you an honest evaluation and a realistic scope. Sometimes fixing an inherited site costs more than starting fresh, and we will tell you when that is the case.
Will my Google rankings survive a WordPress migration or redesign?
They can, if the migration is planned for it. We crawl the existing site, map every URL to its new location with 301 redirects, carry over titles, descriptions and structured data, and monitor Search Console after launch. Rankings can dip briefly on any migration, and our process is designed to keep that short and small.
Is WordPress or Shopify better for ecommerce?
For a standard retail catalog, Shopify is usually the better choice because it handles hosting, security and payments natively. WooCommerce on WordPress wins when you need deep content alongside ecommerce, complex pricing rules, unusual product setups or B2B features. We build both and recommend based on your requirements.
Is WordPress secure?
WordPress core is actively maintained and regularly patched. Most compromised sites are hacked through outdated plugins, weak passwords or poor hosting. We reduce that risk with a minimal plugin set from maintained sources, hardened configuration, backups, malware scanning and a regular update routine.
Do you provide ongoing WordPress maintenance after launch?
Yes. Our maintenance retainer covers monthly updates, backups, uptime monitoring, security scanning and priority access to our developers for changes. Clients get a named account manager and a monthly report on load times, Core Web Vitals and any issues found.
Can you make my existing WordPress site faster?
Usually, yes. Slow WordPress sites are most often caused by heavy themes, too many plugins, uncompressed images and poor hosting. We audit the site, fix what is causing the delay and measure the result against Core Web Vitals. See our website speed optimization service for details.
Do you work with Miami businesses?
Yes, remotely. Discovery, design reviews and training take place over video calls, both language versions sit on a shared staging site you can review any time, and after launch you receive shared reporting on speed and enquiries in each language.
Can the site also cover Portuguese or Haitian Creole?
Technically, yes. The same multilingual structure supports more languages. We recommend adding them where you have the audience and the translators to keep the content accurate, and we can start with key pages rather than the whole site.
