WordPress development experts, we provide strategy as a service for every Project
Want a website that feels like it’s been built just for your clients? Totally Digital is your local WordPress development, and web design specialist. From custom layout, functions to conversion-boosting features, we make WordPress sites work harder for your business.
Every WordPress development is designed to convert, with expertly crafted customer journeys, here's what we do...
Personalisation that resonates
No two audiences are the same, so why should your website be? We take the time to understand you: your business, your goals, and what success looks like to you. Then, we find out about your customers’ behaviours, expectations, and motivations to create page designs and messaging that genuinely connect with them. The result? User-first UX & UI design with intuitive, accessible interfaces that drive satisfaction, builds trust, converts, and keeps people coming back for more.
Designed to convert
A beautiful website is great, but a high-performing one is better. We design every WordPress site, and every page to naturally guide users toward taking an action, whether that’s book now, enquire now, subscribe now, or buy now. Clean navigation, copywriting, strong CTAs, thoughtful layouts, all come together to create a seamless experience that converts.
WordPress Development Built To Scale With You
Your site should grow as your business does. That’s why we build with scalability in mind. Need to start simple? Easy. Need to add pages, blog, booking or functions as you grow. Easy. Need to process payments for bookings, tickets, appointments, or events later? WordPress makes it possible, and with WooCommerce, we can set up payment functionality, or add a ecommerce store at any time. It’s flexible, future-ready, and totally yours.
Optimised for growth & speed
Speed matters, slow sites loose visitors fast. We build lightning-fast WordPress websites using clean, efficient code. Your business goals are translated into a scalable site designed to grow with you, with thoughtful user experience, robust UI, and smart AI optimisation built in from day one. The result? Faster load times, better visibility, and stronger overall performance.
Stack & System Integration
What we bring to the Table
Proudly based in New Zealand, we know what works for Kiwi businesses, and we’re just as comfortable working across the ditch or with international brands. Our team of digital nomads and creative problem-solvers blend deep technical know-how with sharp strategy. We’re transparent, detail-obsessed, and outcome-driven. You’ll know exactly what’s happening, when, and why, just like you we love results that make a real difference.
WordPress Website Content Marketing
Great website design deserves great content. We’re here on-demand, creating a wide range of content: from blog posts and benefit-led copywriting to videos, infographics, AI-rendered visuals, photography, podcasts, social media content, guides, white papers, and ebooks. We also deliver email marketing, case studies, user-generated content, all designed to attract, engage, and retain the right audience through strong, optimised, relevant content. Authentic storytelling that connects, builds trust, and drives real action, because every piece of content marketing that’s created, needs to perform with purpose.
Websites Designed to Impress, Built to Perform
From design to launch, we craft WordPress websites that look stunning and work flawlessly on every device... and yes, we can build in Webflow, Squarespace, and other platforms too.

Here’s a snapshot of the WordPress development services we offer… a great place to start. Wondering why WordPress or considering another platform? We get it. We don’t always build in WordPress. If your existing site has a strong structure, we can optimise and update it. If another platform makes more sense, we’ll recommend options like Squarespace or headless CMS solutions. We’re not precious about platforms, just passionate about performance. Our goal is simple: a website that looks great, runs smoothly, and works hard for your business.

Responsive. Mobile-Friendly. Fast WordPress Sites
We specialise in mobile friendly development, design, support & maintenance of WordPress websites. If you are considering WordPress for a new site, we can help in the decision-making process or if you have an existing WP site that you’re not quite happy with, let’s go over some options of how we can help you improve it.
How We Build Your WordPress Website
1. Discovery & Planning
We start with a conversation: what’s your business, brand, products, services, your customers, your goals. Then we apply an audit to any existing site, with an in-depth discovery session and strategic analysis. From there we map out site structure, tech stack needs, and design direction. Our focus is always on bringing your vision to life
2. Design & Development
Timelines vary based on the project scope, including design, functionality, integrations, and hosting setup. For fully custom WordPress WooCommerce sites, we typically aim to launch within 6 to 12 weeks, depending on client feedback. If you’re looking for a template-based site, we can deliver in 4 to 5 weeks. Every project is unique, so durations may vary.
3. Testing & Launch
Before we go live, your new WordPress site goes through a rigorous quality check. Whether it’s a fresh build, migration, or redesign. We test everything from mobile responsiveness to form functionality, making sure every element works exactly as it should. Once it’s all running smoothly, we launch with confidence, ready to support your next chapter.
Power your WordPress Website: Measure, Improve, Grow
Ongoing WordPress maintenance, support and development retainers.
Our WordPress maintenance, support, and continuous improvement retainers give you peace of mind that your site is secure, running smoothly, and ready to scale when needed. Every support retainer is tailored to your business, from essential maintenance packages starting at 3 hours per month, through to enhanced support retainers of 24+ hours per month.
We also support, optimise, and maintain WordPress sites built by other agencies. So if you’re looking for a new partner to take over the care, speed, and ongoing performance of your existing WordPress site, we’ve got you covered.
WordPress Development Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a WordPress project take?
Most custom WordPress projects take 6 to 10 weeks to launch, while template-based sites are typically ready in 2 to 4 weeks. Timelines vary based on complexity, integrations, content readiness and feedback cycles. Every project is unique, so durations vary. Let us know what you want and we can supply a no-obligation quote
Will I be able to update the website myself easily?
Yes, we build every site specifically for easy in-house management. We set up customised workflows for updating text, adding images, and posting blogs so you don’t need technical skills to manage daily tasks.
Can you help write a Scope of Work or Project Brief?
Yes, we provide guidance documents and consulting to help define your project. A clear brief is essential for accuracy. We can assist you in outlining your goals, functional requirements, and design preferences to ensuring the final scope of work accurately reflects your business needs.
What is the difference between a Template and a Custom WordPress site?
A Custom WordPress site is built from scratch, whereas a Template uses a pre-designed layout.
Custom Sites: Designed 100% around your brand, giving you complete control over functionality, performance, and user experience (UX).
Templates: A faster, cost-effective solution that uses clean, pre-built structures. We customize these to match your branding, but they have fixed layout features.
What is a custom built wordpress website?
A custom WordPress website is a fully personalised site built on the WordPress platform, designed to align with your business needs, brand, and goals. Unlike pre-made templates, we craft every detail from scratch, giving you complete control over design, functionality, and user experience.
How much does WordPress design and development cost?
Pricing varies based on complexity, but we offer both fixed packages and custom quotes. Because every project is unique, we provide transparent pricing tailored to your specific goals, whether you need a simple brochure site or a complex e-commerce platform. Contact us for a detailed breakdown based on your requirements.
Will my WordPress site have SEO included?
Yes, all our websites are built with “SEO best practices” by default. Our development process includes:
Technical SEO: Fast load times, mobile responsiveness, and clean code structure.
On-Page SEO: We ensure metadata is optimized so Google can correctly index your page layout and content from day one.
Do you provide WordPress training?
Yes, we provide comprehensive onboarding sessions, and training blocks with every website launch. We ensure your team feels confident managing the site by offering additional:
Live Training: 1:1 or team training blocks tailored to your experience level.
Video Library: Custom “how-to” screencast videos for standard tasks.
Documentation: Easy-to-follow guides for your specific website features.
Every website we build comes with a 1 hour complimentary, walk-through and onboarding session.
Do you offer digital marketing support after launch?
Yes, we offer ongoing support packages for marketing and design. Once your site is live, we can assist with:
Digital Marketing: Google Ads, SEO campaigns, and GEO (AI Search) strategies.
Design Support: Blocks of hours for graphic design or website updates.
