Sydney's Best WordPress Development Agency

A simple site with minimal customisation and no custom plugins or themes is significantly cheaper than one with all the bells and whistles that make up a more complex website.

When getting a quote for a WordPress website, many factors affect the quote for the site build. Development cost is based on the number of features required and the complexity and size of the website because these will affect the time it takes to complete development.

Due to the nature of custom websites, most of the development process is done from scratch or without templates or ready-made themes. With this in mind, average development times tend to be longer, though not too long.

You can expect a small website to be completed in around two to three weeks, whereas larger sites can take up to six weeks or more.

WordPress is huge; it's the world's most popular CMS. WordPress regularly releases updates to fine-tune its core since its initial release in 2003. Considering WordPress is almost two decades old and still immensely popular amongst web developers, you can rest assured it's great for web development.

Those with soft web development skills can create a basic WordPress website. Still, it takes dedicated WordPress developers to understand the ins and outs of what it takes to build high-quality websites using WordPress.

We steer clear of ready-made themes; all our work is unique and handcrafted to suit your needs. Many of our competitors opt for using generic themes, whereas we want to ensure your website is personal and appropriate for your business, right down to the smallest details.

Instead of using WordPress themes, we create a page-by-page custom design with your consultation. We start by creating a home page design in photoshop and share that with you for your feedback. After that, we repeat the process for each page on your site. It's like creating a house plan before building a house.

Custom WordPress design reflects your unique brand identity and vision. During the creative process, our team incorporates your ideas into your website. As a result, the fine-tuned layouts provide an exceptional website experience and increase conversion rates.

We build WordPress websites, plugins, and themes using industry best practices; before we go live, we rigorously test everything. We don't leave anything to guesswork or chance.

However, a bug may be undiscovered due to the nature of software development. So we offer a 90-day bug remediation warranty for your WordPress website. This warranty starts the moment your site is live.

Our WordPress support is an additional service that covers ongoing bug remediation after 90 days. WordPress support also provides ongoing maintenance of your WordPress Website, including updates.

WordPress prides itself on its security. However, its popularity makes it subject to more cyberattacks than any other CMS. Also, security is a shared responsibility. For any website to have adequate security, the platform, hosting provider, and developers should all do their part.

Mobile first development is the current best practice when it comes to web development. By following this approach, we ensure that our WordPress websites are 100% mobile friendly.

Half of all website traffic comes from mobile devices, so mobile responsiveness is a top priority for our WordPress developers.

We do if the situation calls for it. Content editing in WordPress is exceptional, but when it comes to creating new layouts, it can be somewhat limited. That's where visual builders come in handy.

Visual builders help developers create new layouts and edit existing ones quickly. Visual builders also allow for flexibility when customers want to adjust their sites. When choosing a visual builder, we take into consideration performance vs benefit to ensure minimal performance loss occurs on our customer's websites.

Oxygen builder is our preferred visual builder as it's reliable and does not impact the speed of your WordPress website.

Website speed optimisation is how fast your website loads. Poor development practices and low-quality plugins can slow down your website. A slow website provides your visitors with a sluggish experience and increases your bounce rate. As a result, you will lose traffic and ranking.

We strictly follow best development practices, and we avoid using low-quality plugins. Instead, we custom-code the features. So rest assured, a website built by iVersion will load fast and pass the Google Speed test.

Most people don't realise how slow their website is for other users. Because you often visit your website regularly, and your computer stores a local copy. For someone visiting your website for the first time, their experience could be very different to yours.

To measure the actual speed of your website, you can either use the Google Lighthouse Speed test or GTMatrix.

Search engine optimisation is a process to rank your website on Google search. The better you optimise higher your site will rank in the search results. SEO has two major components:
• On-Page Optimisation
• Off-Page Optimisation (See our SEO service)
On-page optimisation, also known as technical SEO, relies on your site structure being search engine friendly. We use clean code and incorporate SEO structure to ensure your website is SEO friendly and ready for your SEO Team to rank.
