RocketBench Launches AI-First WordPress Development Plan for the 40 Percent of the Web That Runs on It
Unlimited requests, next-business-day delivery, and a human sign-off on every change, with no hours cap
DENVER, September 16, 2026. RocketBench today launched an AI-first WordPress development subscription built for the businesses and agencies that keep the largest part of the web running. WordPress powers about 40 percent of all websites, according to W3Techs, and most of those sites are maintained by whoever has time that week.
Unlimited WordPress plans have always been limited by the humans behind them. The typical plan meters one to six hours of work a day and charges by the hour beyond that. RocketBench removes the meter. Customers queue as many requests as they have, standard tasks come back the next business day, and the price is a flat $1,999 a month. RocketBench removes the hours cap common to unlimited WordPress development plans.
The plan starts with a site’s URL, not a ticket. RocketBench reads the public pages, finds the work the site actually needs, and shows up with those tasks and the evidence behind them before the customer writes anything. No passwords are shared to start.
Every change is built with AI, reviewed by a senior engineer, and staged privately on the customer’s own site through a lightweight companion plugin. Nothing reaches visitors until the customer approves the preview. If a standard task misses its stated delivery window, the next month is free.
“Care plans stop at updates and backups, and everything past that checklist has been a quote, an hourly rate, or a queue,” said Roddy Richards, founder of RocketBench. “We pointed an AI-first build process at the part of the web where the most sites are, and the most fixable ones, and took the meter off. The person who owns the site still approves every change. That is the point, not a limitation.”
RocketBench is available now with a free seven-day trial at https://rocketbench.com/unlimited-wordpress-development.

Founder
Roddy Richards is the founder of RocketBench and of WestLink, a Denver software firm he has run since 2016. For ten years WestLink sold custom software development the traditional way: scoped, estimated, and billed by the hour. RocketBench is his argument that the hour is becoming the wrong unit. It sells development as a subscription: an unlimited queue, AI-accelerated builds, senior engineer review, and a change staged on the customer’s own site for approval before it goes live. He started with WordPress because it runs 40 percent of the web and most of it is maintained by whoever has time that week.
