Results, not promises
Motiv8sports: Custom Booking Platform
Challenge: Patchwork digital infrastructure with clunky booking systems and third-party software that did not integrate. The existing setup was holding back growth and making franchise management painful.
Solution: Custom WordPress site integrated with a purpose-built booking engine, member management platform, mobile app for coaches, and automated communication system. SEO-optimised pages for each franchise location.
Result: 3 to 31 locations nationwide plus first international franchise. 15,000+ tickets sold per holiday period.
Jacob’s Creek: Global Multi-Language Platform
Challenge: Disjointed legacy website that did not reflect the premium brand. Navigation issues meant only 67% of users could find wines, and 63% did not immediately recognise it as a wine brand site.
Solution: Multi-language WordPress platform across 9 countries plus a global site. Rebuilt navigation, product filtering by varietal and occasion, hreflang SEO implementation, and complete URL migration with 301 redirects preserving link equity.
Result: Significant bounce rate reduction on mobile. Improved product discoverability through filtering. Stronger search foundation for international growth.
Ocular Charging: WordPress + WooCommerce Rebuild
Challenge: Existing site did not reflect the technical sophistication of their EV charging products. Needed a scalable eCommerce platform that the internal team could manage without developer intervention.
Solution: Custom WordPress theme with ACF-powered modular content blocks, WooCommerce integration with structured product categories, Gravity Forms for lead routing, and Lighthouse-tested performance across all devices.
Result: Fast, scalable eCommerce platform with intuitive backend. Modular content system enabling easy updates without developers. Clean codebase built for long-term growth.

WordPress development FAQs

How much does WordPress development cost in Sydney?
Most Sydney businesses invest $7,600 to $15,000 for custom WordPress development. Small business sites start from $4,500, while enterprise or eCommerce builds begin around $20,000.
Pricing depends on design complexity, custom functionality, and integration requirements. We provide fixed-scope proposals after a free technical audit. Ongoing hosting and support starts from $35/month with no lock-in contracts.
How long does a WordPress development project take?
Most custom WordPress sites take 6-12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Simple brochure sites can be completed in 4-6 weeks, while complex eCommerce or multisite builds typically require 10-16 weeks.
Weeks 1-2 cover discovery and planning. Weeks 3-6 focus on design and development. Weeks 7-12 handle launch, testing, and optimisation. Need it faster? We offer accelerated delivery without compromising quality.
How do you keep WordPress sites fast after launch?
We maintain performance through proper architecture during development and ongoing monitoring post-launch. Every site ships with advanced caching, image optimisation, and database query tuning.
Support plans include Core Web Vitals monitoring, quarterly plugin audits, and CDN configuration tuning. We test on actual Sydney mobile networks because real-world performance differs from lab conditions.
Will you migrate my existing content and preserve SEO rankings?
Yes, we handle complete content migrations while protecting your SEO equity through careful redirect mapping, metadata preservation, and validation before and after launch.
Our migration process includes pre-migration crawls, URL structure analysis, schema markup recreation, and 12 weeks of post-launch ranking monitoring. Properly executed migrations typically recover within 6-8 weeks.
Can you integrate WordPress with our CRM and booking tools?
Yes, we specialise in WordPress integrations with business systems including HubSpot, Salesforce, Stripe, Timely, Acuity, and Google Analytics 4.
We evaluate whether existing plugins handle requirements efficiently or if custom development is warranted. All integrations are documented and include error logging. Our maintenance plans include integration testing to catch breaking changes.
How is custom WordPress development different from page builders?
Custom WordPress development builds functionality directly into theme code, resulting in 60-70% smaller page weight and 40-50% faster load times compared to page builder sites. Your content stays portable and future-proof.
Page builders load massive CSS and JavaScript files on every page, create vendor lock-in with proprietary formats, and introduce maintenance complexity.
