WordPress development, answered
Vikilinks WordPress development starts on a tailored quote, which covers a custom build plus twelve months of support, so a typical first year totals a custom quote in AUD. Final pricing depends on page count, design complexity, custom features and integrations. We provide a fixed quote after a free requirements call, with no hidden surprises. Domain, hosting and email are not included but we help you choose the right providers.
Every build includes custom theme design and development, plugin integration and custom plugin work, WooCommerce e-commerce setup, performance and speed optimisation, an SEO-friendly and schema-ready architecture, mobile-responsive layouts, security hardening, and ongoing maintenance and support. We also handle multilingual setup, custom widgets and scalable architecture so your site grows with your business across Australia.
No. Domain registration, web hosting, server infrastructure, email accounts and third-party software licences sit outside the standard package. They are billed separately by their providers. We are happy to recommend reliable Australian hosting and email options and assist you through the selection and connection process so everything works together smoothly.
A simple business website usually takes two to three weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger projects with WooCommerce, custom plugins or complex integrations run four to eight weeks or more. Timelines depend on how quickly content and feedback arrive, so we agree a clear schedule and milestones once your specifications are confirmed.
Yes. We build lean, lightweight themes that load quickly, harden the site against common threats, and ship clean, structured-data-ready code. An answer-first content structure helps Google rank you and helps AI engines such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini cite you. Performance, security and search readiness are built in from the first line of code, not bolted on later.
