Custom WordPress websites Website migrations Experienced, reliable team
Whatever type of WordPress website design you need – from a small site for a local service business to a sizeable e-commerce store, our WordPress team has an excellent track record for designing and developing effective B2B and B2C websites.
We’ll be across all aspects of your website project – strategy, technical, content, visual design and flow. We focus on enabling frictionless transactions, a memorable user experience, and optimal conversion potential.
If you have an existing website, we’ll migrate it to a new WordPress CMS and implement a redirection plan. This will enable as seamless a transition as possible for your customers and minimise impact on your search rankings.

We’ve been working on WordPress website projects for clients since 2016. We provide a full custom service including project management and content and SEO services, alongside our highly experienced and super-talented design and development team.
Here’s a selection of WordPress website builds we’re proud to have been part of:
Our WordPress website build process
Developing a plan
We will schedule a meeting with you to get a picture of your requirements for a new website and migration (if applicable). We also need to confirm that we’re a good fit to work together. It’s only rarely that we encounter a prospect that just isn’t right for us (and vice versa), but it does occasionally happen. We think it’s worth getting our business relationship on the right footing from the get-go, and if this isn’t possible, then we would be wise to call it quits sooner rather than later.
We may ask you to complete a brief pre-quote questionnaire to help us proceed to the estimate stage.
If you require brand/logo design work, that is a separate component to be discussed with our approved designer.
Our proposal will include design, development, search-optimised content, and appropriate Google products for your new website. We’ll set up tracking tags on your website to monitor user interactions.
We offer fast, personalised local web hosting, email, and domain management with ThreePoint NZ. We highly recommend you make use of their services.
We will promptly send our costed proposal to you for consideration.
Upon acceptance, and the deposit received, we can proceed to the content stage.

Content comes first
Our mantra: Content always precedes design. Shoehorning content into a predetermined template doesn’t cut it.
It’s vitally important for the effective functioning of your website and its ability to attract traffic and convert leads to obtain a clear understanding of your business and your audience’s needs. This is important for B2C sites such as eCommerce stores as well as B2B services sites. We may ask you to complete a customer persona and/or buyer journey exercise to help us with this.
Next, Alex will work to create a page plan for your new site. Content creation itself will be a collaboration, drawing on your expertise, experience and authority in your business. Without this input, we cannot create the unique, valuable, trustworthy content that your customers demand.
Design & development
Once the content is signed off, Alex hands over to the design and development team to build your website in a lightweight, technically sound WordPress theme (currently we favour Elementor).
We pay special attention to creating a user-friendly, semantic structure that is fully responsive on all devices.
Note that any brand/logo design work, if required, will have been quoted for and completed separately by our designer prior to the website design process.
Images for the website will be provided by you or we may be able to use paid stock images (for an extra charge).
You’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback on the website design, with key content in situ, before we begin developing the site.
Launch & post-launch
We will launch your new website according to a carefully planned sequence. In particular we ensure that:
- Plugins are correctly configured.
- Contact forms are working properly.
- Redirections are in place and functional if you’ve migrated from a previous website, and crawl requests submitted to Google.
- Internal links including menus are functioning correctly, and any external links are pointing to the correct resources.
- While our approach aims to minimise the impact on your rankings during a migration, expect a temporary drop in your visibility on search engines while search bots recrawl the new site.
To ensure the safe and efficient functioning of your website after launch, we highly recommend you sign up for our regular WordPress updates. We charge a modest fee for this service.
As an option, we can provide custom quarterly website analytics reports to help guide your business decisions. Ask us for a quote for this additional service.
Don’t get done up like a kipper: We can access experts in almost every department of the digital and IT universe. If there’s something we can’t do in-house, then we’ll find the resource needed for the job. We can help you achieve realistic goals for your online business. Why do we mention this? Because there are unscrupulous characters about peddling offers to work magic. Frequently an approach comes with dire warnings about the current state of your website. These are invariably false. The old adage applies, folks: “If it seems too good to be true …”
