What a WordPress build costs and how long it takes
These are starting points, not quotes. Where a project lands inside them comes down to page count, how ready your content is, how many design rounds you want, and whether the site has to talk to another system.
- From $590
- One-pager or landing page. A single scrolling page with a contact form, mobile-first and ready to pair with your Google Business Profile. Live in 1 to 2 weeks. Suits a sole trader, a tradie or a campaign.
- From $1,490
- Brochure site, five to eight pages. A custom theme with editor-friendly blocks covering About, Services, Contact and reviews. Live in 4 to 6 weeks. This is where most small businesses land.
- From $3,490
- Conversion site, ten to twenty pages. A custom design system with service-area pages, case studies, a blog and CRM integration. Live in 6 to 10 weeks.
- From $5,490
- WooCommerce and complex builds. Stores, product catalogues, members areas, multi-region sites and integrations with an ERP, MYOB, Xero or your own internal tools. Live in 8 to 14 weeks.
Hosting stays in your own account, usually $25 to $80 a month on Australian managed WordPress hosting. A care plan covering core, plugin and theme updates, backups and monitoring starts at $90 a month and is never compulsory. The domain, the hosting account, the WordPress admin and the design source files all end up in your name, so nothing is held back if you ever move on. The full pricing page breaks down what sits inside each tier.

WordPress website design for Brisbane and Ipswich
WordPress website design Brisbane
The studio is in Ipswich, about 40 minutes west of the Brisbane CBD, so a kickoff or a handover can happen face to face and the work runs in AEST rather than an overnight offshore cycle. Brisbane builds also get the local groundwork that matters for search: service-area pages that match how people actually look for you, and Australian hosting so the site is quick for the people nearest to it.
Brisbane businesses we have designed and built sites for include Euro Starz Automotive, a European and prestige vehicle workshop at Coopers Plains, and BStylus, a boutique property and personal styling business. For the broader local picture, not just the WordPress build, our Brisbane web design page covers it.
WordPress website design Ipswich
Being based here means a lot of our WordPress work is for businesses across Ipswich, Springfield, Ripley and the Western Corridor, and that a site visit is a short drive rather than a trip. See Ipswich web design for local examples, the suburbs served and how a build pairs with local SEO.
WordPress website design in Australia - common questions
Custom WordPress builds give you editor-friendly content models, clean code, fast performance and freedom to integrate with anything. Page builders are quick to start but slow to maintain, hard to migrate and frequently slow down Core Web Vitals.
Yes. WooCommerce is our default for Australian retailers and trade suppliers. We design catalogues that scan well, checkouts that convert, and integrations with payment, shipping, accounting and CRM where needed. See WooCommerce product catalogue SEO.
Yes. We design content models (ACF, custom post types, taxonomies) so content scales cleanly to hundreds or thousands of pages - case studies, product ranges, locations or service variants. Structure beats plugins for scale.
Yes. We build API-led integrations with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Zoho, MYOB, Xero and custom systems via REST, webhooks or scheduled jobs. See API integration services.
It depends on scope. A one-page site is live in 1 to 2 weeks, a five to eight page brochure build in 4 to 6 weeks, and a ten to twenty page site in 6 to 10 weeks. WooCommerce and integration-heavy builds run 8 to 14 weeks. Content readiness and the number of design rounds move those dates more than anything else. See our pricing guide for what sits inside each tier.
Yes. Every WordPress build includes Core Web Vitals tuning and SEO-ready structure. Deeper engagements are available as WordPress speed optimisation and technical SEO.
Yes. This page covers our WordPress website design for Brisbane, Ipswich and all of South East Queensland. For the broader local picture see Brisbane web design and Ipswich web design.
