If you’re searching for a WordPress Developer in Brisbane who focuses on custom development, not cookie-cutter templates, you’re in the right place. WP Guru builds high-performance WordPress websites that are designed to load fast, rank, and convert, with clean code, scalable structure, and long-term maintainability.
A lot of WordPress sites look fine at launch, then become slow, hard to update, and stuck in a cycle of plugin conflicts and patch fixes. My approach is different: I build the website like an asset. That means custom themes, purpose-built plugins, and a content structure that makes SEO and landing page growth easier over time.
When you work with me, you’re not just buying “a website”. You’re getting a platform that supports growth:
If you want a single partner who understands both development and SEO outcomes, this is where custom work wins.
In the real world, most sites need more than pages. They need workflows:
Custom themes and plugins reduce bloat. They also reduce long-term risk: fewer conflicts, fewer “mystery slowdowns”, and cleaner upgrades.
If your current WordPress site feels fragile, slow, or hard to evolve, custom work is usually the quickest route to stability.
A common problem is splitting build and SEO into separate phases. The site gets built first, and SEO becomes “add keywords later”. That’s how you end up with:
Instead, I approach builds with SEO architecture and conversion flow in mind from day one:
1) Discovery and scope
We identify goals, audience, key pages, required functionality, and what “success” looks like.
2) Architecture and SEO structure
We plan your content hierarchy (services, locations, categories, resources) and build a clean URL and internal linking map.
3) Build and development
Custom theme and/or plugin work, WooCommerce setup, integrations, and admin UX improvements.
4) Performance + QA
Speed optimisation, Core Web Vitals checks, device testing, form testing, and launch readiness.
5) Launch + iteration
Go live, review tracking, prioritise next improvements, and support growth content.
6) Maintenance (optional but recommended)
Updates, security monitoring, backups, uptime checks, and ongoing improvements.
