Starting fresh or stuck with a slow theme, our WordPress developers build a custom block theme your team can update without calling anyone. A short plugin list, updates tested on staging, and pages that stay quick on a phone.
Partner badges you can look up, numbers straight from client dashboards, and the businesses whose websites we've built. Here's the scoreboard so far.
What we do
“The entire process was seamless, easy, and incredibly user-friendly. They were patient and flexible with all the changes and back-and-forth... Most importantly, they absolutely nailed the brief.”

What is included
Every WordPress build we hand over follows 4 rules. They keep it fast, safe and easy to edit.
Every section is a block drawn for your content. It has the fields your team needs and nothing they could break by accident.
How a build runsBefore anything is installed, we write down what it does and why WordPress core can't. Most builds need far fewer plugins than people expect.
See the workEach template carries the headings, schema and internal links for one kind of search. So every new page you add starts on the right footing.
The proof we showWe skip page builder code and slider libraries, and serve images at the size they're shown. The theme sets the speed, so no plugin has to rescue it.

One stray drag and the layout breaks.
Chosen and justified

Clicked on the live site
Fingers crossed, late on a Friday.
Sized to the site
Caching and backups set up and checked.
The cheapest shared plan
It slows down the moment traffic arrives.
How it runs
You see the page plan before design starts, and the design before we build. So there are no nasty surprises at the end.
Week 1
We look at what your team edits each week, what the site has to rank for, and which plugins it leans on. Starting fresh? We map what your customers search instead.
What we deliver
What do people search before they call you?
Weeks 2 to 4
We draw the design as a set of blocks from the start. That way every layout on the page is one your editors can reuse.
What we deliver
Monthly searches
Weeks 4 to 7
We build a custom block theme. Patterns are locked where the layout matters, and fields stay open where the words change.
What we deliver
Sentient / Inter
14.05:1Weeks 6 to 8
Existing pages move across into the new blocks. We clean out old shortcodes and map every page to its new address.
What we deliver
Weeks 8 to 9
We ship from staging with backups running and an update routine in place. Then we show your team how to edit it.

14 OctThe long read
WordPress runs a huge share of the web, so a huge amount of it is built badly. The platform is rarely the problem.
Plugins feel free. They install in a click and solve the problem in front of you.
But every one of them is a dependency. It needs updating, it can clash with the others, and its author can stop maintaining it.
So we count them. A short list you understand costs less to run than a long one nobody can explain.
Illustrative: the shape a plugin bill tends to take, not a measurement of any site.
A visual builder gets the first page up quickly. That's its whole appeal.
The cost is the code underneath: layers of wrappers and scripts on every page, whether the page needs them or not. You pay for it on every page view.
Blocks built for your content give editors the same freedom with a fraction of the weight.
The visitor sees the site. Your team sees the editor. Most builds only design one of them.
We lay out each block with the fields in the order people think about them, and lock the parts that shouldn't move.
So the site still looks right a year later, after plenty of people have updated it.
If the site is mostly structured content shown in several places, a headless setup may suit you better.
If it's a tool with logins and records, it's a web app. WordPress will fight you the whole way.
Either way, we'll say so before you sign.

Client results
“Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies... instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results.”
“Since going with Casey and his team, we have had nothing but wins! They are great communicators, but more importantly, have got awesome results with low lead costs.”

Questions

No. Our WordPress developers build a custom block theme on the WordPress editor itself. There's no builder licence to renew and no builder code slowing each page down. Your team still gets blocks to arrange, laid out for your content.
You can keep all of it. We move it into the new blocks, strip out old shortcodes, and redirect every address that changes. Pages that already rank keep their history. We also record your positions before launch, so any movement is easy to see.
We can, on a set schedule, with every update tested on staging before it touches the live site. Or we hand it to your team with a written routine. Either way it's agreed up front, and hosting has no lock-in contract.
As few as the job allows. Every plugin on the list comes with a line saying what it does. It also says why WordPress core can't do the job. Most rebuilds end up with far fewer plugins than the old site had.
Every WordPress build gets a fixed quote with line items after a free 15-minute call. Our brand and website package starts from $6,100 + GST. A theme rebuild on existing content usually costs less than a new build with new copy.
Yes, though a store is its own job with its own scope. If selling online is the main goal, see our WooCommerce page. It covers how we build the store and track each sale to its source.
Usually, for the public site. Patient records and clinical forms belong in your practice software, such as Best Practice, Cliniko or Halaxy. We connect the site to it, so that data never sits in WordPress.
