raffleWP now offers a complete competition website design and build service for organisations that want expert support from early strategy and design through WordPress development, raffleWP configuration, testing and launch.
The raffleWP plugin is still available for teams that want to build and manage their own site. The new raffleWP Full Service adds a more hands-on option for operators who want one specialist team to help shape and deliver the whole project.
The short version
You can still buy raffleWP as a WordPress competition plugin, or you can now ask the team behind it to plan, design and build the wider competition website with you.
What is raffleWP Full Service?
raffleWP Full Service is a competition website strategy, design, development and launch service. It brings together the raffleWP team’s knowledge of WordPress, WooCommerce and competition workflows in one managed project.
The service can begin with an early idea, an existing website that needs rebuilding or a brand that wants to add competitions as a new channel. The exact scope is tailored to the organisation, its customers, its operating model and the integrations it needs.
This is not a compulsory package attached to the plugin. It is an additional premium service for customers who want guidance and delivery beyond software alone.
From plugin supplier to full delivery partner
A competition plugin solves an important part of the technical problem, but launching a credible competition business normally involves more than installing software. The website still needs a clear proposition, a trustworthy design, an effective customer journey, suitable WordPress and WooCommerce development, operational processes and thorough testing.
Some teams already have the designers, developers and operational experience to handle those areas. Others would rather work with people who understand how raffleWP fits into the wider website from the beginning.
Full Service has been introduced for that second group. Instead of coordinating a designer, developer, plugin supplier and launch adviser separately, customers can work with one joined-up team and one agreed delivery plan.
What can the full competition website service include?
A typical raffleWP Full Service project can cover planning, design, WordPress and WooCommerce development, plugin configuration, testing, training and launch support. The final proposal sets out the exact deliverables, responsibilities and optional aftercare.
- Strategy and planning: Clarify the audience, commercial model, customer journey, operating requirements and launch priorities.
- Website and experience design: Create a credible visual direction and a clear, mobile-friendly journey for understanding and entering competitions.
- WordPress and WooCommerce development: Build the agreed pages, components and commerce experience on a maintainable foundation.
- raffleWP setup: Install and configure the plugin, competition templates, entry options and relevant operator workflows.
- Supporting systems: Add agreed email, analytics, consent and integration foundations where they form part of the project.
- Testing and training: Check the core journeys across devices and show the team how to manage the website after handover.
- Launch and aftercare: Support the technical launch and agree any defined post-launch assistance required.
Every project is different. The service page describes the usual areas of support, while the proposal for an individual project confirms what is and is not included.
How does a full competition website project work?
The delivery process is designed to resolve important decisions before they become expensive development changes. A typical project moves through six stages:
- Discovery: Understand the audience, offer, current setup, constraints, team and desired launch.
- Roadmap: Agree the scope, deliverables, responsibilities and realistic delivery plan.
- Design: Shape the visual direction, information architecture and most important customer journeys.
- Build: Develop the agreed website, competition components and integrations in WordPress.
- Test and train: Work through the agreed checks, resolve issues and prepare the team to operate the site.
- Launch and aftercare: Support the technical release and begin any separately agreed ongoing assistance.
Starting with discovery does not mean every project needs to begin from zero. Existing websites, branding, content and operational processes can be reviewed and incorporated where they remain suitable.
Who is raffleWP Full Service for?
New competition operators
A new operator may have a strong prize or business idea but need experienced help turning it into a credible website, practical operating model and realistic launch plan.
Existing competition businesses
An established operator may need to replace a difficult-to-manage site, improve customer trust, modernise the buying journey or create a stronger technical foundation for growth.
Brands and agencies
A brand or agency may want a specialist partner to provide the competition functionality and platform knowledge while working alongside an internal team or wider project.
Built for discoverability as well as operation
A competition website needs to work for customers and operators first, but its structure should also help search engines and AI answer systems understand the organisation, its services and its competitions.
Where included in the agreed scope, the Full Service foundation can cover intent-led site architecture, answer-first copy, descriptive metadata, contextual internal links, relevant structured data, crawlability, performance and mobile usability. These elements make the website easier to interpret and provide a stronger base for future resource and landing-page content.
No agency can guarantee search rankings, payment provider approval or inclusion in AI-generated answers. The aim is to create a clear, technically sound and genuinely useful foundation that the operator can continue to develop.
What remains available for plugin-only customers?
Nothing has been removed from the standard raffleWP offering. Customers can still purchase a licence, install the plugin on their own WordPress website and use the existing documentation and support resources.
The raffleWP features remain available through the standard Single Site and Unlimited Sites licences. The plugin continues to support competition products, entry allocation, customer accounts, instant wins, postal-entry workflows, operational records and winner management.
Full Service simply adds a second route: use the software independently, or ask the people behind it to help plan and deliver the wider website.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to use Full Service to buy raffleWP?
No. raffleWP remains available as a standalone WordPress competition plugin. Full Service is an optional premium service for organisations that want broader strategy, design, development and launch support.
Can raffleWP rebuild an existing competition website?
Yes. The team can review an existing WordPress setup and propose a staged improvement or replacement. The recommended approach depends on the current website, data, integrations and operational requirements.
Does Full Service include bespoke website design?
It can. The proposal will define the required brand, interface and page-design work alongside the WordPress and raffleWP implementation.
Does raffleWP provide legal advice or guarantee payment provider approval?
No. raffleWP can provide product, technical and operational guidance. Legal, regulatory, tax and financial advice should come from appropriately qualified advisers, and payment providers make their own onboarding and approval decisions.
How much does a full competition website cost?
Pricing depends on the design, development, integrations, content and support required. After an initial conversation, raffleWP will recommend an approach and provide a tailored quotation with clear deliverables.
How long does a competition website take to build?
Timing depends on the scope, content readiness, feedback cycle and third-party dependencies. A realistic delivery plan is provided after discovery rather than using a generic launch promise.
