The cost of hiring a WordPress developer will vary depending on:
1) Developer’s Experience: More experienced developers typically command higher rates.

2) Developer’s Location: Geographic location can impact pricing.

3) Project Complexity: More complex projects generally cost more.

Hourly Rates and Project-Based Fees

• Hourly Rates: Freelance WordPress developers and agencies might charge anywhere between $15 to $250 AUD per hour.
• Fixed Fees: Both agencies and freelancers may offer project-based pricing. These can range from a few hundred dollars to significant five-figure sums, again showing a wide spectrum.

Stone Digital’s Approach

At Stone Digital, we position ourselves in the ‘sweet middle’ of this spectrum. We offer high-quality services at reasonable rates, avoiding both the excessive prices of over-the-top agencies and the low-quality pitfalls of budget outsourcers. We believe this balance offers the best value for many businesses.

Our custom WordPress website projects typically start at $8,000 AUD and our monthly Support and Maintenance Plans start from $480 AUD per month.

Transparent Pricing and Consultation

• Package Pricing: We provide clear, package-based pricing for our services.
• Initial Consultation: Schedule a consultation with us to find the right package for your project.

We generally estimate that a new WordPress project will take between 1.5 to 4 months to complete. This timeline is influenced by several key factors:

1. Website Complexity: More complex websites require more time to develop.

3. Feedback Process: The efficiency of our interactions during the feedback stage.

We offer various support and maintenance packages tailored to your specific project needs:

1. Monthly Security and Maintenance Packages

• What’s Included: Regular WordPress updates, website health monitoring.
• Pricing: Starting from $480 AUD ex. GST per month.

2. Monthly Advanced Support Packages

3. Hour Bundles
