Advantages of WordPress

WordPress is a web-based Content Management System (CMS). It has been in active development since 2003 and has a large user base. Computing Australia has been using WordPress to develop websites for clients for the last 15 years. WordPress is built from the ground up with a strong focus on security, Search Engine Optimisation and mobile compatibility. The platform is hugely scalable – when combined with an excellent hosting solution, it is able to handle large numbers of concurrent visitors. It is also an excellent platform for Social Media integration.

Premium Hosting

We have a dedicated WordPress hosting solution. Our premium performance hosting is a dedicated WordPress environment. SSL and CDN are included at no additional cost. You will get blazing fast page load speeds that most other hosts cannot match.

Our hosting is powered by Google Cloud Platform and its 25 global data centres. Everything is interconnected over its premium tier network, designed to minimize distance and hops, resulting in fast and secure transport of your data to your site visitors. We use state-of-the-art technology including Nginx, PHP 8.1, LXD software containers, MariaDB, and computer-optimised VMs to make sure your website loads in the blink of an eye. Featuring complete resource isolation, automatic scalability, and high availability.

We back up your sites at least once every day. Should the worst happen, you will be able to reinstate a backup of your site with the push of a button. We offer separate backups on all environments – live and staging – so your development versions are equally as safe as the live site.

Content Integration and Creation

Computing Australia is also able to provide content creation services for your ongoing content and marketing requirements such as blog or social media posts. We charge a competitive, reduced hourly rate of $45 per hour to integrate content into your website. You can use this to transfer content from an existing website or have our skilled content writers create Search Engine Optimised content that Google will love. This takes the stress out of developing a website because we can take your site from inception to “go live” doing as much or as little as you require.

Why work with Computing Australia?

Computing Australia’s Creative Services department is a business-focused development agency with a keen eye for quality, innovation, and value for money. We utilize cutting-edge technology and creativity with a dedicated project manager to deliver results on time and within budget. We pride ourselves on having a great work ethic, integrity, and over-delivering against client expectations. The Computing Australia Group has over 20 years of experience developing websites for Australian and global businesses.

Ongoing Support

An often overlooked aspect of website development is the need for ongoing support. WordPress receives frequent updates and patches that can leave a website vulnerable if not applied. SEO rankings decline over time as website pages are left static, and content becomes stale. We are able to provide ongoing support in the form of a monthly maintenance service to ensure your website is fully patched and SEO reporting to identify areas of content that may require modification.

* The development requires extensive client interaction, and the overall turnaround time relies upon client assistance to reconcile content and fast feedback. Computing Australia will launch the website once all content is finalised and you are happy with the design. Any additional out-of-scope work is billed at $70 per hour.
