Custom WordPress development that grows with you.
You bring the vision. We handle the tech.
Strategy & UX Design
We start with strategy. Who are your users? What do they need from your site? Then we design seamless, conversion-focused experiences that look sharp and work brilliantly.
Custom WordPress Website Builds
This is what we’re best known for… designing, developing, and launching fully custom WordPress websites.
No templates. No drag-and-drop shortcuts. Every build is coded from scratch, refined for usability, performance, and SEO/AI visibility, and thoroughly tested before going live.Complex WordPress Websites
Got an ambitious idea? We build sophisticated WordPress solutions that handle high traffic, advanced workflows, and granular user permissions, all without compromising performance.
Replatforming & Migrations to WordPress
Old platforms hold businesses back. We migrate you to WordPress with zero data loss, minimal downtime, and a future-proof foundation.
Custom Plugin Development
Need something unique? We build it. Custom plugins add the exact functionality you need, without the baggage of “all-in-one” add-ons.
API Integrations
From CRMs to booking tools to marketing platforms, we integrate WordPress with the systems you already rely on. The result: less manual work, more connected business.
Fast & Secure WordPress Hosting
We don’t rely on shared hosting or third-party control panels. Our team manages a custom-built WordPress hosting infrastructure on dedicated VPS environments designed purely for WP performance. This allows us to fine-tune every site’s speed, scalability, and stability with options for high-availability, failover, and security hardening for penetration testing.
WordPress Security Implementation
Security isn’t optional, it’s engineered into every build. We deploy hardened configurations, secure authentication policies, automated backups, and monitoring that protect your data from day one. For proactive, managed protection, our WordPress Security & Performance Plans
take this even further.Performance Optimisation
We optimise every layer of your WordPress site code, caching, hosting, and delivery. The result? Sites that load faster, rank higher, and provide a better experience for users and search engines and AI.
Ongoing Support & Retainers
Once your site is live, our work continues. Through Support Packs and Retainers, we handle updates, content management, enhancements, and performance reviews, keeping your WordPress site future-ready.
Is Your Website Holding You Back?
We see it often: websites built without a growth plan. They look fine at launch but struggle once the business starts to grow. Nobody should waste time and money fixing things a second time.
Our clients come to us because they want more than a website. They want a platform that:
- Performs quickly and securely.
- Works with their business systems.
- Scales with growth.
- Keeps them ahead in search and AI results.
If your site feels slow or hard to manage, it’s not you, it’s your tech. We rebuild it right so it runs faster, ranks better and grows with you.

FAQs
How long does a WordPress project take?
Timelines vary by complexity, but most of our full builds run 4–12 weeks. For large-scale or application-level projects, we’ll scope and plan delivery with clarity from day one.
Do you work with websites you didn’t build?
Yes. We can take over existing WordPress sites, provided we audit them first. This ensures performance, security, and maintainability before we commit to ongoing support.
How do you ensure our WordPress site is optimised for SEO and AI?
We build from the ground up with technical SEO best practices and AI-readability in mind. That means fast load speeds, semantic content structures, clean code, and architecture designed for discoverability in both traditional search engines and AI-powered assistants.
Can you integrate WordPress with our existing business systems?
Yes. We handle API integrations for CRMs, booking engines, payment gateways, marketing tools, and more. Each integration is purpose-built, so your website and business systems work seamlessly together without the plugin overload.
What’s your approach to performance and security?
Performance and security aren’t afterthoughts — they’re foundations. We build lean code, run proactive monitoring, and provide tailored protections through our WordPress Security & Performance plans. Combined with our custom hosting infrastructure, you get a fast, stable, and secure platform that’s ready for anything from compliance checks to pen testing.
Is WordPress secure?
Yes, WordPress is secure out of the box when managed properly. But we take it several steps further. Our custom-built hosting environment is designed specifically for WordPress and hardened for advanced protection. Combined with our WordPress Security & Performance Plans, your site benefits from an additional sophisticated layer of defence that most agencies simply can’t offer.
Do you provide hosting, or do we need a third-party provider?
We run our own custom-built WordPress hosting infrastructure, purpose-built on VPS environments that only run WordPress. No cPanel, no Plesk, and no reselling someone else’s servers. Just fast, secure, and reliable hosting designed to match your exact needs, whether that’s high-availability failover, enterprise-grade security, or custom compliance.
Can WordPress really scale for high-traffic or complex sites?
Yes. WordPress powers some of the busiest sites in the world. The difference lies in how it’s built and hosted. Our custom architecture and hosting infrastructure mean your site can scale securely, handle traffic spikes, and evolve with your business without compromise.
Do we need to meet in person?
Not at all, though we’re always happy to. Made Neat has been a fully remote team since 2010, and we meet with clients virtually every day across Australia and beyond. If you prefer to meet in person, we have team members and offices across Noosa, Sydney, Melbourne, and Newcastle.
Do you work with in-house teams and external agencies?
Often. We collaborate with marketing departments, IT teams, and external partners to ensure WordPress is integrated into your broader digital strategy. Whether you need us as your full development partner or an extension of your in-house team, we adapt to your setup.
What happens after launch?
We don’t hand over the keys and walk away. With our Hosting, Security, Support Packs, and Retainers, your site is monitored, updated, backed up, and continually optimised. It’s all about ensuring long-term performance and peace of mind.
WordPress protection made simple.
Your website should never keep you up at night. Our Security and Performance Plans combine monitoring, updates, backups and compliance to keep your site safe, fast and trusted.
We proactively monitor, secure, and optimise your site so it stays fast, safe, and compliant, the way your customers (and Google) expect. From uptime checks and malware scans to legal compliance and performance tuning, we keep your digital presence working hard, while you focus on running the business.
We handle the technical stress so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
