A custom website is designed especially for you and your brand. It’s unique in its layout and design.
A responsive website means that it is designed to display effectively on desktops, notebooks, tablets and mobile devices.
Information architecture describes how the different pages of a website are related to each other. This is usually communicated through a visual diagram called a sitemap.
These are page designs that include navigation elements, layouts, colour schemes and indicative copy and images for key pages such as: Home, Services, About, News and Contact.
An interactive prototype is a working version of your website that is designed to prove the functionality and features as they will work in the browser.
Basic design elements and indicative content are applied at this stage to allow all parties to make final decisions on the functionality.
It does depend on how many web pages you want and how much content you have. We will be able to let you know at the start of the project how long it will take to build your website and launch.
When we commence the design and development of your website, time frames, scope and budgets are already in place.
Any new features requested once production starts may need to be treated as a separate project with a new budget.
WordPress is an open-source content management software and currently powers around 41% of all websites on the Internet.
The project is contributed to by tens of thousands of developers around the world. It is growing from strength to strength.
WordPress allows us to develop flexible and customizable websites to modern standards and observes web development best practices.
Furthermore, the community of web developers that use WordPress reaches far and wide. It allows us to tap into this collective intelligence and bring that wealth of experience to your project.
We have found that customised video tutorials are far more effective and convenient for our customers.
They get to view and learn how to publish content on their website, at a time that suits them.
And most importantly if they want to delegate the website publishing role to a staff member it’s so easy to train them.
Your website needs to be hosted by a hosting company that specialises in WordPress hosting.
We’ve worked with nearly all the big hosting companies over the last 20 years, and Kinsta offers the most secure, fastest hosting available.
Their technology and support are brilliant. Support costs to our clients have decreased dramatically after working on this platform.
Most of our WordPress clients are hosted on Kinsta inside the Australian Google data centers.

Our focus is on website design and development. So we recommend you work with our SEO partners who are experts in search engine optimisation, with proven results. We ideally like to work with them at the beginning of the project, so all content is search engine friendly.

During this period, we iron out any bugs and ensure your website is running smoothly.
We also provide video training modules to help you confidently publish content on your website.
After 30 days, you can subscribe to one of our ongoing website support plans to ensure your website is looked after and maintained.
These plans include updating your software, regular backups, security checks, and making sure your website is online and open for business 24/7/365.
