WordPress Development

WordPress sites, bespoke. Not built from a template

Fast, secure, custom WordPress builds for Australian teams. We work in Gutenberg, custom fields, and WooCommerce, not page-builder plug-ins that lock you in. Every site your team can extend after we’re gone.

Bespoke over builder

Page builders lock you in. Custom fields set you free

Elementor, Divi, and WPBakery deliver quick wins. Then they slow down, they bloat the DOM, and they hold your content hostage inside proprietary shortcodes. A page-builder theme is not really WordPress.

We build in the block editor with ACF custom fields, so your content stays clean, your admin stays fast, and your team can hand pages to any WordPress developer later.

Builds we do

Four kinds of WordPress projects we take on

Marketing sites

Fast, on-brand marketing sites for teams that ship pages weekly. Custom blocks, CMS training, and analytics wired in from day one.

Membership platforms

Gated content, member-only areas, and subscriptions. Built on WordPress with Restrict Content Pro or a comparable membership stack, integrated with your payment processor.

WooCommerce

WooCommerce stores that stay fast with 500+ SKUs. Custom product templates, checkout tuning, and payment or shipping integrations that survive plugin updates.

Headless WordPress

WordPress as the CMS with a fast frontend on Next.js or a comparable framework. Editor experience preserved, frontend performance transformed.

What you get

Every WordPress engagement ships these

You leave the engagement with a system your team can extend, not a black box only we can touch.

Custom block library

Reusable Gutenberg blocks built with ACF, mapped to your brand system. Content editors work in the editor, not in shortcodes.

Plugin stack

A minimal, audited plugin set. Each plugin has a documented purpose and an escape plan if it goes unmaintained.

Custom fields schema

ACF field groups exported as JSON and version-controlled in your theme, so structure changes travel with code.

Admin walkthrough

A one-hour recorded walkthrough of the block library, custom fields, and any per-role admin quirks. Your team refers back to it long after we are gone.

Launch checklist

Redirects, meta tags, GA4 wiring, sitemap, robots.txt, backup automation, and a 30-day post-launch monitoring plan.

Hosting handover

SSL, WAF, caching, and backup jobs configured on your host, with a runbook so your team knows what happens when something breaks.

Common questions

What people ask before starting a WordPress build

Do you work with page builders like Elementor or Divi?

We can maintain them, and we can migrate away from them. New builds go into Gutenberg with ACF custom fields, so the site stays fast and your team is not tied to a page-builder plug-in.

Do you handle hosting?

We do not resell hosting. We help you pick and configure one (SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, or a VPS) and document the setup so your team can manage it. See maintenance for the ongoing option, or managed hosting if you want us running the host too.

What about updates and security?

Every build includes an update strategy: WP core, plugin, and theme updates on a monthly cadence, with staging previews. Ongoing coverage is optional via a maintenance plan.

Do you build WooCommerce stores?

Yes. We build WooCommerce stores that stay fast at 500+ SKUs. If your store is Shopify-shaped (checkout complexity, payment providers, retail ops), we will say so and point you at our Shopify page.

Who owns the code?

You do. Themes and custom plugins ship to your GitHub repo. No proprietary components, no license lock-in.
