“I was looking for a custom WordPresswebsite designer and hired Bonnie Sorsby. I got so much more than a designer! Bonnie is a talented business strategist and a creative graphic designer and photographer. She advised me on design, but also on SEO, marketing, email integration, and web security. My email contacts are now integrated seamlessly with my newsletter. I highly recommend Bonnie Sorsby!”

Web Design That’s More Than Just a Pretty Site
They’re definitely beautiful, but more importantly, I design websites that work. With 15 years of entrepreneurship and a background in branding, commercial photography, SEO, and conversion strategy, I build sites that get found on Google, reflect who you are, speak to your audience, and help your business grow.
WordPress Design vs WordPress Development
(And Why Both Matter)
WordPress Design
Covers how your website looks and feels:
• Branding
• Layout
• Visual storytelling
• User experience
• Mobile design
• Overall vibe and clarity
WordPress Development
Speaks to exactly how your website works:
• Theme customization
• Page builders (Elementor and Gutenberg)
• Backend setup
• Plugins
• Site structure
• Speed and performance
• SEO foundations
I bring both sides together — a clean, beautiful design with the technical foundation Google loves.

WordPress Web Design Company FAQ
Find answers to commonly asked questions about our WordPress and design services.
Do I need to know WordPress to work with you?
Nope. You do not need to be “techy” at all. I handle the full WordPress website design and development process for you. Once we launch, I’ll walk you through the basics and share simple training so you feel comfortable making small updates on your own.
What types of businesses do you design custom WordPress websites for?
I work with a wide range of entrepreneurs, from local boutiques and wellness studios to service providers, non-profits, and artists. Whether you’re a small business in Boca Raton or a creative in Lake Worth, your website will be customized to fit your vision and goals.
What’s the difference between WordPress design and development?
Design is the look and feel – the layout, colors, typography, visuals, and overall experience of your site. Development is how everything works behind the scenes – the theme setup, page builder configuration, plugins, site structure, and SEO foundation. You need both for a website that is not just pretty, but actually functional and strategic. I handle both sides for you.
Does your company help with both WordPress website design and branding?
Yes! I offer branding and web design together or separately. If you’re just getting started or need a refresh, I can help you develop a brand identity and then build a cohesive, professional website to match.
Do you offer SEO services along with website design?
Yes! I build all of our websites with SEO best practices in mind, from clean site structure to optimized headings and image tags. I also offer keyword research and content guidance to help your business show up on Google.
Do you help with hosting, domains, and the tech setup?
Yes. If you already have hosting, I can work with what you have as long as it’s compatible. If you are starting from scratch, I’ll recommend a reliable host, help you get everything connected, and make sure your WordPress install is set up correctly.
Do you specialize in mobile-friendly websites?
Absolutely. Every site I build is fully mobile-optimized. It’s a must for all businesses, especially in tourist-friendly areas like Palm Beach and Delray Beach where most users are browsing on their phones.
How long does it take to design a custom WordPress website?
Timelines vary, but most standard websites take 1–4 weeks.
Can you help me improve my current WordPress website instead of starting from scratch?
Yes! If you already have a site but it’s outdated or not performing well, I offer redesigns and strategic upgrades tailored to your goals.
Will I be able to update my WordPress site myself?
Yes. My goal is for you to feel confident, not dependent. I build with an intuitive structure and page builder, then show you how to edit text, swap photos, add blogs, and make simple changes without breaking anything. If you need ongoing support, I am available for that as well.
Can you integrate e-commerce or online booking features into my website?
Absolutely. Whether you need an online shop, appointment scheduling, or custom forms, we can integrate the right tools so your website supports your business goals.
