WordPress development, performance-engineered, AU-hosted, security-hardened.
WordPress specialist development across the 121 Group book. Performance-engineered builds, ACF-driven content architecture for non-technical operator updates, security-hardened, AU-hosted, monthly maintenance retainer as standard. Healthcare networks, multi-clinic CMS, industrial B2B, plus the WooCommerce book underneath the consumer programme.
Four disciplines, run as one build stack.
Lighthouse 85+ as the floor, not the ceiling
Custom themes (not theme-store reskins), block-editor architecture, ACF-driven content, image-pipeline optimisation, lazy-loading, conditional script-loading, performance-budget enforcement at build-time. Lighthouse 85+ on real client traffic, not just synthetic test runs.
Operator-maintainable content architecture
ACF + custom post types + block-pattern library so non-technical operators can update content without breaking layout. Architecture decisions made for the people who'll maintain the site for 5 years, not the developer who'll launch it.
AU-hosted, hardened, monitored
Australian-hosted on Cloudways AU / WP Engine AU / managed-Synergy, daily backups, 24/7 uptime monitoring, security-hardening (WordFence + custom hardening), staging-to-production CI, automated WP + plugin update pipeline. Hosting + maintenance →
WordPress on retainer, not project-and-walk-away
Monthly maintenance retainer is non-negotiable for any WordPress site running real revenue, WP + plugin + theme updates, security monitoring, performance audit, daily-backup verification, uptime monitoring, fixed response-window for production issues.
