Hey, Wordpress is a good choice if you only want to display products, videos, and blogs. Wordpress is pretty fast. So, it will certainly help you in scoring high in terms of speed. Mobile and desktop experience can also be balanced.
That said, almost everything depends on finding a Wordpress theme that:
1) Fits your design vision
2) Is fast
3) Offers impeccable mobile and desktop experience
Though the task look simple, it isn't. You can judge the visual appeal of a theme on your own but you will need help of a developer to see its technical strengths which will determine whether it will performance as fast as you want it.
Also, you will need a developer to deploy the theme correctly, secure it from hacks, and also make design & programming tweaks.
My team takes care of theme selection, deployment, and updates for the websites we manage for our clients at nominal fee. I can get the same done for you. Email me at varun@upreports.com to discuss further. Or simply call :)

Hi, WP is a good CMS but is open for too much attacks Js DB Injections (security holes) , this can slow down your performance , this days there is a plenty WP plugins, so my suggestion will be to start installing security plugins like "All In One WP Security & Firewall" just search google for "wordpress security plugin +free" after that search for wordpress store plugin free or themes no codding need it , but most important think for your performance would be your hosting (shared or not), if you have dedicated server would be good
I have 15 years of experiences in building websites, web applications and mobile apps for top-tier companies as well as startups. I have worked for Fortune top 500 companies. I helped more than 100's of clients in creating websites. I am experienced in creating the directory, marketplace, e-commerce/booking portals and other complex projects in wordpress, PHP, Java and mobile apps. I can help with the conceptualization of your idea into a working Maximum Value Product.
According to W3Techs, WordPress powers 33.0% of all the websites on the Internet, including those without a content management system (CMS). WordPress holds a 60.0% market share for content management systems on website. There are many fast themes available for Wordpress which have google page scores more than 90.
As a first step, I would like to understand like to know niche products which you are dealing with. You can setup a call for discussion so I can guide you professionally.
Wordpress is suitable for a lot of things, and for sure for your case it also is. Even if you needed ecommerce, wordpress is good for small companies to sell with woocommerce.
Anyway, you say you prefer quick site perfomance, so I'd say not to use a pre-made template. Not that they aren't good, but they usually come with a lot of useless features that clog your site. A custom made website will definitely help you achieve a score of over 90.
Also, with a custom-made website, you'll have a user interface that fits your goal and the needs of your B2B clients. It's just a money waste to build a site that's not useful, that people get frustrated with it and leave it without converting.
If you need help, we can help you understand what your clients want to see in your site and provide you a good, fast website that converts. I'm available for a call, let me know.
If you are short on coding stuff, you need to go probably to themeforest or similar and find a theme that will match your requirements. The downside is, normally, those commercial plugins underperform, but maybe you can beat 90 score with a good hosting and few performance plugins.

How much should I charge to develop a WordPress site?
Take the # of hours it takes you to do it and charge $50/hour. That's the price. Eventually you can charge $100/hour but that will require a bigger customer. If the customer is small < $1M in gross sales per year - charge $50/hour If the customer id medium < $1-5M / sales - charge $75 Over $5M - charge $100 The challenge you'll face is clearly defining the expectations and handoff so that you're not stuck doing stuff that you can charge for and always getting interrupted from past customers.DM

How can I make a small, profitable business on Wordpress?
It sounds like you have plenty of skills to get started now. There's no need to keep re-training in different areas when you have experience to get started today. My suggestion would be to pick a niche and try and become the go-to guy in that particular niche. Let's say, for example, you are interested in men's fashion. You have experience in creating Wordpress ecommerce sites. You could call up maybe 10-15 of the local businesses in that niche in your local city/state and offer to make their website and get them in on a set-up fee and then a monthly maintenance retainer. This approach would be lower stress (because it's something you're interested in) and also because you could create a methodical framework that you could apply to other businesses in that niche. That's just one idea. Second idea - create a course on WooCommerce development and put it on Udemy (or Coursera etc). Note down 10 of the biggest obstacles you've had to overcome when building sites for friends and family and then note down 10 of the most important considerations people should consider before people get started. Now you've got 20 video lessons for your course. Charge for the course on Udemy or use it as a marketing tool to get more b2b development work. Idea 3: Go make money on freelancer.com, peopleperhour etc. Perhaps you've tried this already? Skills like yours are in demand on those platforms. Idea 4: Take the things I noted in the second idea above, and turn it into a handbook. Sell that book via Amazon. Idea 5: Go on Tweetdeck. Create a column that searches for people who are using keywords like "Wordpress woocommerce issue" "Wordpress woocommerce help" "WordPress woocommerce problem". Give them your clairty.fm link and tell them you'd be happy to have 5 minute discussion to see if you could help them resolve their problem. Idea 6: Find 10 major theme development companies. Sign up to their help or support forums. Do a similar thing to what's noted above on Twitter and offer to have a quick call via clarity.fm to see if you could help. Idea 7: Go down the route of finding existing Wordpress/Woocommerce blogs. Write posts for them about specific WooCommerce issues, problem solving or project management tips. Do this with the aim of improving your inbound consulting gigs. Idea 8: Do the exact opposite of whatever those friends are telling you. Idea 9: With your skills you could easily start a dropshipping company. I won't go into all the details here but just start looking at sites like Clickbank or Product Hunt to get a feel for something you're interested in. Build your site and start dropshipping products. https://www.woothemes.com/2015/06/dropshipping-beginners-guide/ Wordpress consulting alone, yeah it's probably quite competitive, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of opportunities for revenue. I think you will be even more motivated, successful and less stressed if you pick a niche industry, product or service to focus on. Enjoy it!SC

What should my consulting rates be as a freelance developer who can also do SEO, social media optimization and other marketing services?
Pricing for different tasks that require the same amount of time from you tells the Customer (and your subconscious) that you're working at a 5 on task x, but working at a 9 on task y simply because it costs/earns more. That seems to be a disconnect. Your time is your most precious asset, and I would charge for it whatever you're doing. If you build a site, and they are happy with your dev fee, but feel like you should charge less for SEO, simply let them find another SEO guy. That's their choice, but YOU are worth $xx.xx, no matter what you're doing. Also, in general, take whatever you're charging and add 10% to it. If you're still busy, add another 10%. Let the demand level determine how much work you do, and at what cost.SL
