[FAQ]

Frequently
Asked.

Custom WordPress builds start at $6,500. Complex sites with advanced functionality range from $12,000–$25,000. Headless WordPress with Next.js frontends start at $20,000. We provide fixed quotes after understanding your requirements.
Custom block themes give you a clean, fast codebase with exactly the features you need—nothing more. Page builders add bloat, slow down your site, and create technical debt. For serious businesses, custom development always wins.
Security hardening includes: removing unnecessary plugins, custom firewall rules, two-factor authentication, malware scanning, automatic updates, secure hosting configuration, and regular security audits. We fix hacked sites too.
Headless WordPress uses WordPress as a content API while rendering your frontend with Next. js or React. You get faster load times, full design freedom, and better security. It's best for high-traffic content sites and businesses that publish across multiple platforms.
We can build WooCommerce stores, but for serious e-commerce we typically recommend Shopify for superior scalability, security, and lower maintenance costs. WooCommerce works well for small product catalogues or when deep WordPress integration is essential. Compare WooCommerce vs Shopify in our e-commerce development guide.
Yes, we're based in Ulverstone, Tasmania and work with businesses across Australia and internationally. WordPress projects work well remotely—we use video calls, Slack, and screen recordings for collaboration and training.
All projects include 30-60 days of post-launch support. For ongoing maintenance, we offer monthly retainers ($500-$2,000/month) covering updates, security monitoring, backups, and priority support.
A custom WordPress website from ONE Degree Studio starts from $2,500 AUD for a brochure site and $5,000+ for a WooCommerce store. The final price depends on the number of pages, custom functionality, and integrations required.
We build with custom code and the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) where appropriate. We do not use Elementor or Divi — they add code bloat that slows sites down.
Standard custom builds take 4-6 weeks. Enterprise sites with complex post types and integrations take 8-12 weeks. Headless implementations require 10-14 weeks. All timelines include content migration and training.
Yes. We build custom block themes that leverage Gutenberg's full potential. Your team gets intuitive editing with drag-and-drop blocks while maintaining clean code and fast performance underneath.
Yes. Our WordPress speed optimization service includes database cleanup, image optimization (WebP conversion), Redis caching implementation, code audits to remove plugin bloat, hosting evaluation, and Cloudflare CDN configuration. Most sites see 50-80% speed improvements and pass all Core Web Vitals thresholds. Pricing starts at $1,500.
Yes. We migrate sites from any platform to WordPress. Content, images, and SEO are carefully transferred. We handle URL redirects to preserve search rankings. Most migrations complete in 2-4 weeks.
Yes. We build custom WordPress plugins for unique functionality: integrations, custom post types, admin tools, API connections, and more. Custom plugins are more secure and performant than off-the-shelf alternatives.
For most clients: WP Engine or Kinsta for managed WordPress hosting. For headless setups: Vercel or Netlify for the frontend with WP Engine for the backend. We set up and configure everything as part of the project.
Book a free WordPress consultation at onedegree. studio/book. We'll discuss your current site, goals, and challenges. You'll receive a detailed proposal with fixed pricing within 48 hours.
Choose WordPress if you need a content-heavy site with full flexibility, or if you're already on WordPress. Choose Shopify if your primary focus is selling products online with less technical overhead.
