How We Build Your Website

Every website we build is grounded in the same four disciplines. Not because it’s a template — but because skipping any one of them produces a site that looks good in a browser and performs badly in the real world.

The Right Platform for Your Business

We don’t push one platform for every client. We recommend the right tool based on your business goals, your team’s technical confidence, and how your site needs to grow. We work across WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix — and we’ll tell you honestly which one makes the most sense for you.

  • WordPress + Elementor — best for businesses needing full control, custom functionality, and serious SEO. Powering 40%+ of the web, with no lock-in and full content ownership
  • Shopify — purpose-built for ecommerce. Ideal for product catalogues, payment processing, and scaling online stores with minimal dev overhead
  • Squarespace — polished, design-forward sites for creative businesses, consultants, and service providers who want something that looks exceptional out of the box
  • Wix — quick to launch and easy to manage for smaller businesses or teams who want to make frequent updates without any technical knowledge
  • Platform migration — moving from an old or underperforming platform to one that suits your current stage
  • Training handover — a walkthrough on whichever platform we build, so your team can manage content independently from day one
UX & Conversion Design — Built Around Your Customer

Good design isn’t about how a site looks in a presentation — it’s about how real customers navigate it, what they do when they arrive, and whether they take the action you need them to take. We design with conversion in mind from the first wireframe.

  • User journey mapping — understanding how your customer moves from landing to converting
  • Clear information hierarchy — the right content, in the right order, at the right size
  • CTA placement and design — calls-to-action that are visible, specific, and compelling
  • Mobile-first layouts — designed for the device most of your visitors actually use
  • Form optimisation — shorter, smarter contact and enquiry forms that reduce drop-off
  • Trust signals — testimonials, case studies, client logos, and accreditations placed strategically
Core Web Vitals & Performance — Fast Is Not Optional

Google uses Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, and INP — as direct ranking signals. A slow site doesn’t just frustrate visitors; it actively costs you rankings. Industry data consistently shows that a one-second delay in load time reduces conversions by 7%. We build for speed from the start, not as an afterthought.

  • LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) optimisation — hero images, fonts, and server response time
  • CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) prevention — stable layouts that don't jump as the page loads
  • INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — responsive interactions throughout the page experience
  • Image optimisation — WebP format, lazy loading, and correct sizing at every breakpoint
  • Script management — deferring non-critical JavaScript so the page loads before it executes
  • Caching and CDN configuration — serving content from the closest server to your visitor
Hosting & Ongoing Support — We Don't Just Build and Leave
We manage hosting and maintenance for every site we build, which means someone who actually knows your site is watching over it — not a third-party support ticket queue. Websites are live products. They need updates, backups, and occasional fixes. We handle all of it.
  • Managed website hosting — fast, secure, Australian-based servers (WordPress and beyond)
  • Daily backups — automatic off-site backups so nothing is ever permanently lost
  • WordPress core, theme, and plugin updates — applied and tested before they break anything
  • SSL certificate management — HTTPS kept active and Google-compliant
  • Uptime monitoring — we know if your site goes down before you do
  • Ongoing support retainer — monthly hours for content updates, new sections, and changes

Recent Web Projects

Two examples of what we’ve built — and what happened after launch.

Bayfields Liquor

Northern Beaches

Ecommerce · Google Ads · SEO

Bayfields needed a digital presence that could compete online and drive direct ecommerce sales for their liquor retail business. We rebuilt their site for speed and conversion, integrated Google Ads and Meta campaigns, and applied an SEO foundation — resulting in campaigns that reached up to 20x ROAS.

Tumblong Hills Winery

Canberra Region, NSW

Website · SEO · eDM · Social Media

Tumblong Hills required a website that could sell their wine story as compellingly as their cellar door does in person. We delivered a site paired with an SEO strategy, email marketing programme, and social media campaigns that grew page views, average order value, and audience reach — including outranking IBM for targeted keywords.

Why Choose TMR for Your Web Project

You own everything.

Your domain, your hosting account, your WordPress install, your content. We never build sites in our own accounts. If you ever leave, you walk away with a fully functional website — not a broken export file.

Marketing built in.

We're a digital marketing agency, not just a web studio. Every site we build has SEO foundations baked in, Core Web Vitals optimised, and conversion pathways designed from the start — not bolted on later.

One team, end to end.

Dilar builds and maintains the site. The broader TMR team handles SEO, ads, and content. Everything is joined up — no handoff between a web agency and a separate marketing agency.

Don’t take our word for it

Martijn is my go-to guy for all our performance marketing needs. He and his team know their stuff, provide useful recommendations that are always relevant to the campaigns and our needs. On top of that they are very responsive and fun to work with!

Martijn is a rare beast. He has a wide range of digital marketing skills, and an appetite for more. The point is, in fact, he's happy; so not only smart, skilled and co-operative but cheerful, easy-going and hilarious - a joy to work with.
Camilla Cooke

Timmer Marketing helped me rebuild our Shopify website and we couldn't be happier with the result. They listened to what we needed and took the time to ensure they understood and executed on the brief. We'll definitely be using them moving forward for our digital work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1 How much does a WordPress website cost in Sydney?
For a professionally designed WordPress site with Elementor, most projects fall between $4,000 and $15,000+ depending on complexity — the number of pages, whether ecommerce is involved, custom functionality required, and how much content is provided versus created by us. We provide a detailed quote after an initial discovery call so you know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs before any work begins.
A standard WordPress website typically takes 4–8 weeks from brief to launch, depending on the size of the project and how quickly content and approvals come through. Ecommerce projects and sites with custom functionality take longer. We give you a clear project timeline at the start, with milestones, so you always know where things stand.
It will if we build it correctly — and we do. Every site we build includes SEO foundations: clean URL structure, XML sitemap, schema markup, optimised title tags, meta descriptions, image alt text, and Core Web Vitals performance. This isn’t an add-on — it’s built in. For businesses that want to actively rank for competitive keywords, we also offer ongoing SEO services as a separate engagement.
Yes — all the platforms we build on are designed to be managed without a developer. WordPress with Elementor has a visual drag-and-drop editor; Shopify, Squarespace, and Wix all have intuitive dashboards for updating products, pages, and blog content. We run a training session before handover so your team is comfortable managing whichever platform we’ve built on. If you’d rather hand all updates to us, we offer a monthly support retainer.
Yes. We build ecommerce sites across multiple platforms — WooCommerce for WordPress-based stores, Shopify for dedicated product-first businesses, and Squarespace or Wix for smaller catalogues that don’t need a full ecommerce engine. The right choice depends on your product catalogue size, fulfilment setup, how much customisation you need, and how your team will manage it day-to-day. We’ll recommend the right platform at your discovery call rather than defaulting to whatever we happen to know best.
Dilar, our in-house web developer, manages hosting and ongoing maintenance for every site we build. If something breaks, you contact us directly — not a generic support desk. We also run daily backups, meaning anything that goes wrong can be rolled back quickly. For clients on a monthly support retainer, response time is typically same-day.

Let's talk about your website.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, redesigning an existing site, or just not happy with how your current one performs — we’ll give you an honest assessment and a clear proposal. No lock-in.
