WordPress web design Sydney: custom themes, WooCommerce and ecommerce builds.
Sydney has more web design agencies per square kilometre than anywhere else in Australia, and picking between them is hard when almost none publish a price. We do. WordPress web design Sydney projects start at US$799 with us, itemised and agreed in writing before a line of code is written.
Most work reaching us from New South Wales is one of three jobs. A WordPress rebuild of a site that has grown slow, an ecommerce web design Sydney owners need running on WooCommerce, or a technical cleanup of a site that ranks nowhere. We work across the Inner West, North Shore, Parramatta and the Eastern Suburbs.
We're a remote-first agency. We work with Sydney businesses online. You get clear updates on a set schedule and the same care as an in-house team, without paying for a local office.

Ecommerce web design Sydney owners need is a platform decision before it is a design one. WooCommerce keeps the store and the content on a single WordPress install, which suits a business that both sells and publishes. Shopify launches faster and is easier to hand to staff, at the cost of a platform fee that never stops. We build both and will say which suits your catalogue on the first call, even when the honest answer is that a store is not worth it for you yet. Moving between the two is its own project and we treat it as one, with redirects mapped before anything moves. An ecommerce migration done casually is how a store loses the rankings it spent years earning, and that damage is slow and expensive to undo.
Sydney is the hardest Australian market to compare agencies in, because so few of them publish a number anywhere on their site. Ours are on this page. A starter site is US$799, the professional build most clients choose is US$1,999, and enterprise scope is US$3,999. Those figures are US dollars rather than Australian, which is worth reading carefully when quotes sit side by side. Care plans are US$99, US$199 and US$399 a month. Every project is quoted as one fixed, itemised number agreed in writing before work starts, half on start and half on launch, with no hourly billing and no drift. Hosting, domains and plugin licences are paid direct to the provider at no markup from us, so the quote is the cost.
The WordPress developer Sydney businesses actually need is usually the one who can explain why the current site is slow, not the one with the largest portfolio. The work behind that phrase varies enormously. Some of it is a fresh build. More often it is rescuing a site a page builder has made slow, or untangling a theme customised so heavily it can no longer be updated safely. WordPress web development Sydney projects reaching us are usually the second kind. We work on the block editor with custom templates rather than Elementor or Divi, because builder markup is the most common single reason an inherited Sydney site loads slowly. The rebuild is held to the Core Web Vitals thresholds Google publishes: Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint under 200 milliseconds, Cumulative Layout Shift under 0.1. Those are measurable, so you can check the result yourself.

ON Architecture, an architecture and interior design practice in New South Wales, carries our work. We have not published measured before-and-after figures for that build, so none appear here. The results we can stand behind come from other projects. Falcon Ridge, a real estate brand, reached 285% more organic traffic and 60% more enquiries after its rebuild. Carter Hearing, a hearing clinic, reached 180% more traffic and 45% more booking enquiries. Both case studies link their live sites so the numbers can be checked. R Inventive in Canberra and M8owes Construction in Perth are further Australian rebuilds you can open directly. We have worked with Australian clients for years and we still do not have a Sydney office, which is a fact worth stating rather than leaving you to discover.
Quotes for the same Sydney brief can differ by a factor of ten, and the gap is rarely about design talent. Page count explains part of it. So does whether the number includes technical SEO, content migration, and the redirect mapping that stops a rebuild from losing rankings you already hold. A quote that excludes all three is not cheaper, it is smaller, and the difference arrives as a second invoice later. Ask any agency to itemise those three specifically. Ask who owns the code, the hosting and the logins at handover, because the answer should be you and it should be in writing. Then ask what support looks like in month two, which is where agencies genuinely differ and where a design presentation tells you nothing at all.
We are remote-first and there is no Sydney office behind this page. That is worth saying plainly, because most agencies ranking above us have a street address and you should be able to weigh that yourself. What it changes is where meetings happen. What it does not change is local search, which is built from on-page structure, LocalBusiness and Service schema, business details kept consistent across directories, and pages written for the suburbs you actually serve rather than a list of them. We set that up for Parramatta, the North Shore, the Inner West and the Eastern Suburbs the same way we would from an office in Surry Hills. Our pricing does not vary by location either, so sitting outside New South Wales neither adds to your quote nor reduces it.

Google ranks local results on three things: relevance, distance, and prominence. Links to your site and customer reviews both feed prominence.
“Relevance is how well a Business Profile matches what someone is searching for.”
Google treats a page as fast on three measures. Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds, Interaction to Next Paint under 200 milliseconds, and Cumulative Layout Shift under 0.1. All three are read at the 75th percentile of real page loads.
“LCP should occur within 2.5 seconds of when the page first starts loading.”
