Is WordPress Right For Your Business?

WordPress runs most of the business websites we build, from service businesses to established businesses with hundreds of pages. We don’t force it, though. Here’s when to choose WordPress and when something else fits better.

✓Choose WordPress when
✓
You want to add service pages, landing pages and posts yourself from an intuitive dashboard
✓
Your business needs bookings, quote forms, member areas or ecommerce functionality in one system
✓
You want full ownership, so any WordPress developer can take over later
✓
Search visibility matters and you want full control of the SEO structure
✓
You’re planning for business growth and the page count will keep climbing
✕Choose something else when
✕
You need one campaign landing page, not a content management system
✕
You want a hosted online store with the least maintenance, where Shopify suits better
✕
Nobody will keep plugin updates current after launch
✕
You only need a one page profile while the business idea is tested
✕
The budget won’t stretch to quality hosting and maintenance after launch
Not sure? Our free audit looks at your current site and tells you plainly.

What Custom WordPress Means Here

Custom means the site is designed for your business rather than a demo layout bent into shape. Rather than build custom themes from scratch, most WordPress sites we build run on Avada, a widely used WordPress theme and builder, set up lean: features a site doesn’t use are switched off, so the browser isn’t downloading sliders, icon libraries and animation scripts no page uses. Layouts are saved as global elements locked to your brand, so new pages stay on brand. When WordPress isn’t the right fit, custom coding takes over and we build a fully custom coded website outside WordPress instead.

Plugins are kept to a short list: contact forms, SEO tools, caching and security, plus whatever your business needs, each chosen for its update history. Where a feature doesn’t exist, custom development fills the gap rather than another plugin. Custom fields hold service areas, team members or products, so they’re consistent everywhere and carry schema for search engines.

Ownership is written into the scope. The domain stays in your name, you receive the admin login, and any WordPress developer can pick up the code. Inception Video shows why structure matters: the business serves two very different markets, so its new WordPress site speaks to each audience separately, and the owner was trained to keep developing it after moving from Wix.

Google’s Data, Applied To A WordPress Build

WordPress performance is decided by the theme and the plugins, and both are ours to control. Four of Google’s own tools shape every build before a page is designed, so the site starts from what Google has already recorded about your business rather than a tool’s estimate or a competitor’s design.

01

Search Console

Before design, Search Console data shows every query and page your existing site earns impressions for, so a rebuild keeps those URLs and redirects the rest deliberately.

02

Google Analytics 4

Shows which pages turned visitors into enquiries and online bookings, so nothing that works is designed away.

03

Keyword Planner

Google’s own search volumes, pulled through the Google Ads API, set the service pages and landing pages the site needs and what they’re called.

04

PageSpeed And CrUX

Every template tested during development, then field data from real phones after the site’s launch, against Google’s Core Web Vitals thresholds.

Our WordPress Web Design Services

Expert WordPress web design and WordPress development from one local team in Wanneroo, covering the entire process from strategic thinking at the start to technical support after launch.

Discovery And SEO Structure

Your services, locations and audiences mapped to a sitemap from Google’s search volumes, with the SEO structure, internal links and page count fixed in the scope.

Custom Theme Design

Custom design that follows your brand strategy, built in Avada, with mobile responsiveness and conversion rate optimisation in each template.

Migration And Redirects

Moving from Wix, Squarespace or an older theme, we bring pages and media across and map every old URL, so your Google rankings carry over.

WooCommerce And Integrations

An online store for online sales, booking tools, CRM connections and payment gateways, built into the same WordPress site and tested before launch.

WooCommerce web design →

Speed And Technical SEO

Page speed, image compression, schema and the SEO setup are done at build, so technical improvements aren’t left for later.

Hosting, Security And Training

Quality hosting on Perth servers from $17.90 a month, login hardening and a firewall, plus training on the WordPress dashboard before handover.

Keeping A WordPress Site Secure And Fast

WordPress runs a large share of the web, which makes it a target. A site that’s never updated gets slower and more vulnerable, and a slow site loses visitors before they engage. Is WordPress secure? Yes, when it’s maintained. Keeping WordPress secure is ongoing work, not a launch task.

That’s why every launch includes 60 days of ongoing support, then maintenance plans from $495 a month. Updates are tested on a staging copy before they reach the live site, and if your current site needs rescuing first, we start with an audit rather than a quote.

Hosting matters as much as the build. Cheap shared hosting slows every page however clean the theme is, so we recommend quality hosting with server caching and regular backups, either on our Perth servers or in an account in your name.

✓What maintenance covers
✓
WordPress, theme and plugin updates, tested first
✓
Backups before every update, stored off site
✓
Security monitoring and a firewall
✓
Page speed checks on key templates
✓
Search Console checks for new errors
✓
Technical support from the team that built it

Results From WordPress Rebuilds

Castle Security paired a WordPress rebuild with SEO, content and links, and its web traffic rose 364 percent. Energetics Institute asked us in 2018 to rebuild a site of more than 100 pages, and the practice now describes holding positions one to three for many of its terms. Inception Video moved from Wix to WordPress, and Perth Tax Pro launched with five service pages, one for each line of work.

What WordPress Web Design Costs In Perth

How A WordPress Build Runs

STEP 01

Discovery And Scope

A conversation about your business goals, then a pull of your Search Console, Analytics and PageSpeed data. We agree the sitemap, templates, integrations and migration plan, with a fixed price in writing.

STEP 02

Design

Wireframes for each template, then designed pages for mobile and desktop that you review and we refine until they’re right.

STEP 03

Development On Staging

The site is built in Avada, content migrated or written, plugins configured and every template measured for page speed. You test the site before anyone else sees it.

STEP 04

Launch And Handover

Redirects, SSL, sitemap submission and DNS are handled at a quiet time for your business, with training on the dashboard done before the switch.

STEP 05

The First 60 Days

Launch is just the beginning. Adjustments are included for 60 days while the field data settles, then maintenance keeps WordPress, the theme and plugins current.

WordPress Web Design Perth FAQs

What business owners ask before a WordPress build. Already on WordPress and not ranking? Our WordPress SEO service fixes the site you have.

Get a free audit

It’s the design and build of a business website on WordPress, the most widely used content management system. You get a site you can edit yourself, extend with new pages and features, and move to any WordPress developer if you ever need to.

With us, a small business WordPress site on a proven theme starts from around $2,500 and a custom WordPress website from $6,995. A WooCommerce store starts from $6,995. Every price is fixed in a written scope after a free audit.

Yes. If the content and structure of the existing site are sound, we redesign it rather than start again. If the theme and plugins are the problem, a new WordPress site usually costs less over time than patching the current one.

Yes. Pages are built with Avada’s visual builder and your brand’s layouts saved as global elements, so you can change text, images and prices without breaking the design.

WordPress gives you full control of titles, URLs, schema and internal links, and the right SEO tools make that easy. Rankings still depend on the build: a slow site with thin pages won’t earn organic traffic on any platform.

Every launch includes 60 days of support. After that, maintenance from $495 a month covers updates, backups, security monitoring and technical support, and we can run SEO, Google Ads and digital marketing on the same site.

You deal directly with Ben and the people building your site rather than a dedicated project manager relaying messages, so questions are answered by someone who knows the code.

Yes. We work with businesses across Western Australia and the rest of Australia by video call, and meet Perth clients in person in Wanneroo.

It depends on the page count, the content and how quickly approvals come back from your side. We set the timeline in the scope rather than quote a generic number, and tell you early if either side is slipping.

Yes. Most of our sites are built on Avada, a widely used WordPress theme with its own builder. A page builder slows a site when every feature is left switched on, so we turn off what the site doesn’t use, load assets only where they’re needed and test every template against Core Web Vitals. Any developer who knows Avada can work on the site later. If WordPress isn’t the right fit for a project, we build a fully custom coded website outside WordPress instead.

Often, yes. Image compression, caching, removing unused plugins and fixing render-blocking scripts can move Core Web Vitals a long way. If the theme itself is the problem, we show you the numbers and let you decide.
