The total delivery time is between 6 and 8 weeks for a “typical” website, assuming we have full cooperation from all contributors. If the site is relatively simple, it is possible to reduce this further. However, it very much depends on the nature of the website (scope and complexity). After a quick chat, we can give a more definite time estimation to determine your needs.The website will be presented for your approval as design mock ups, intended to illustrate the look and feel of the website. The mock ups will also include interactive elements – providing guidance for the user experience. You will have the opportunity to request a number of design revisions prior to development.

While much of our work happens “behind the scenes,” our advanced technology significantly enhances user experience. Our unique approach to design and coding, including a strong focus on site speed optimisation, creates fast-loading websites that visitors love. This positive user experience also boosts search engine rankings (like Google), attracting more visitors who are more likely to become satisfied patients.

Our dedicated project manager will work with you and your team to create custom-tailored content and design. We then create a website that uses the WordPress Content Management System (CMS) – an incredibly powerful and flexible development platform. Our sites are responsive (work great on Desktop, Tablet and Mobile devices), look beautiful, and are functional and user friendly.

WordPress offers the best combination of code quality, power and ease of use, which does not limit our ability to create exceptional solutions for our clients. WordPress is an open-source software maintained and developed by a community of many users and developers. Security is a primary focus, and a dedicated team concentrates full-time on this area. WordPress is fundamentally more secure than other common CMS.

Collaborate seamlessly with our dedicated project managers, who keep your website development on track using secure, cloud-based tools. Your team can contribute from anywhere with an internet connection, enjoying 24/7 access for maximum flexibility. This modern approach, proven successful with satisfied clients across Australia, ensures efficient project completion and your ultimate satisfaction.

Enhance your website with our professional content creation services, ranging from expert copywriting to high-quality photography. In today’s competitive landscape, effective marketing is essential. We offer various website marketing strategies but often recommend Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as the most valuable approach for driving targeted traffic and maximising your return on investment.

Our websites are customised to suit your inspiration, so our pricing is unique per project. Express your interest by submitting our quote request form. We will contact you to determine your requirements and provide a no-obligation fixed-price proposal (typically offered on the same day).

Our monthly website hosting fees include a generous amount of storage and bandwidth. This service consists of a custom-configured virtual private server (VPS) optimised for WordPress CMS website hosting – offering outstanding value.
We also include some amazing behind-the-scenes configuration (continuous integration workflow), allowing us to test, deploy and review the website with a separate staging server before going live/publication. It’s imperative to have this setup to ensure all is well before publishing a new site or feature. This is best practice and unavailable through standalone 3rd party web hosting.

As part of our due diligence, we highly recommend periodic updates of WordPress CMS core and modules utilised to create your website to keep up with the latest security and stability updates. The intention is to reduce the likelihood and severity of website compromise (which may be either automated or targeted) against your website.

Responsive web design is a design approach aimed at crafting sites to provide an optimal experience across a wide range of devices, including Desktop Computers, Tablets and Smartphones. These devices vary widely in key areas such as screen size resolution. Some elements that should be considered in a website that implements responsive design techniques include:

• The text is easy to read.
• Images and other rich media are visible.
• Navigation menus, buttons and other interface elements are sufficiently sized and designed for intuitive interaction.
• Interactions leverage native technologies such as touch (tap, pinch, swipe, etc.) wherever possible.

Ensuring these elements work as expected is a time-consuming and exacting process. This imposes around 30% extra time, effort and expense to implement. However, it ensures that you can serve a significant and increasingly large percentage of your users who are on mobile devices.

Responsive websites are typically superior to alternatives such as custom mobile sites. Primarily because you usually need to manage only one set of content (instead of managing content for each instance of a device type you want to support).

Adaptive techniques are often seen as an alternative to responsive design. However, that need not be the case. We feel that certain adaptive techniques can be leveraged to work in concert with responsive techniques.
Once again, the goal is to provide a superior experience across a range of devices. The main difference is the server hosting the website detects the devices making requests to it and uses this information to deliver different batches of HTML and CSS code based on the characteristics of the device that have been detected.
We recommend using adaptive techniques with the most impact, namely, serving images appropriate to the device’s capabilities. Only serving the data needed results in a faster-loading website and a more pleasing user experience.
