WordPress the way it should be built
Most WordPress sites are a theme from a marketplace, thirty plugins and a page builder holding it all together. Ours are custom themes with the sections your business needs, so they load fast, stay secure and your team can edit them without breaking anything.
We are an official WordPress.com Pro Partner and WooCommerce Pro Partner, which means priority support from their teams when your site needs it.

WordPress sites built for Sydney businesses since 2016
One team
Design, development, hosting and support from Erskine Park
Good fit if
- Your WordPress site is slow, breaks when a plugin updates, or nobody on your team dares touch it
- You have outgrown a template or a page builder and need a site built around how the business runs
- Your developer has moved on and you need someone local to take over, tidy up and keep it safe
- You are launching or rebuilding and want the site, the hosting and the support from one team
Not a fit if you want a five-page site built from a purchased theme by Friday. That is a fair thing to want, and there are cheaper ways to get it than us.
How a WordPress project runs
What the site has to do, who uses it and what is wrong with the current one. You get a written scope and a fixed price before anything starts, not an estimate that grows.
Page layouts designed around the actions you want visitors to take, shown at phone and desktop size. You sign off the design before a line of code is written.
A custom theme on Advanced Custom Fields, built on a private staging address you can click around on as it takes shape. Fast, accessible and editable by your team.
Content loaded, every old URL redirected so you keep your rankings, forms tested, analytics connected. We launch on a day you choose and stay on the phone while it goes live.
Managed hosting, core and plugin updates, backups, security monitoring and small changes, handled by the people who built the site.
Custom builds, not templates
What we do on WordPress
A theme built for your brand and your content on Advanced Custom Fields, with page sections your team can add, remove and rearrange through the normal WordPress editor without a developer. No Elementor, no Divi, no builder licence to keep paying for, and nothing that breaks when a plugin updates.
Fast by default, accessible, and built so the site can grow: new service pages, locations, team members and case studies without a rebuild.
Product and category architecture, checkout, shipping and payments set up properly, and the integrations that keep stock and orders honest: Australia Post, Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, Xero and MYOB. Built so the store is part of the site rather than bolted onto it.
If the store is the whole business, we may point you to Shopify instead. We build on both, so we have no reason to push you either way.
Moving off an old theme, a page builder, Wix or Squarespace, or another agency, with every old URL redirected so your rankings come with you. Content is migrated, not retyped, and the old site stays live until the new one is checked and signed off.
We have moved sites that were held together by one developer’s memory and thirty plugins. It is more common than you think, and it is fixable.
Real fixes to the theme, images, fonts and hosting rather than a caching plugin and a prayer. We measure Core Web Vitals on the pages that matter before and after, on a real phone, and we fix the things that actually move the numbers: oversized images, render-blocking scripts, slow queries, bloated plugins.
Speed is not only a Google factor. It is the difference between a visitor reading your page and leaving before it loads.
Hacked or neglected sites cleaned, hardened and monitored, then kept up to date so it does not happen again. Malware removed, backdoors closed, admin accounts and passwords tidied, two-factor turned on, and the plugins nobody remembers installing removed.
After the clean-up the site moves onto our managed hosting with backups, updates and monitoring, so the next problem is caught before you hear about it from a customer.
Our own managed WordPress hosting with backups, core and plugin updates, security monitoring and a local number on 02 9834 4119 when something needs changing. Small changes are turned around in days by the people who built the site.
Most clients stay with us for hosting after launch, some for many years. It is a choice, not a lock-in: you own the domain, the content and the code, and we help if you ever want to move.
Already have a site you like? We take over WordPress sites built by others, tidy them up and keep them safe. Start with the free site review.
