Yes! All our sites are built, and maintained, internally AND 100% in Australia. That means not only can you talk to us, via email or telephone and receive a response during business hours, but that we are fully accountable for everything we do.

Website Design

20+ years of experience... we understand how to develop websites

Website Solutions

From simple ‘calling card’ websites, through to more complex applications like e-commerce, a website is no longer an optional extra, it is a vital element of doing business today.

With organic search results success being dictated by ever increasingly strict metrics ('Core Vitals'), and on page CTA mechanics, there is far more to building a website than making it look pretty – a website needs to have every aspect finely tuned, front-end and back-end, to ensure it's success as a transactional machine.

With over 20 years experience helping SMEs build their online presence, we understand the importance of your business online. Many will build you a ‘pretty’ looking website, but we understand the importance of a website being more than window dressing; our website design and build service has been refined to deliver not only great looking end results, but also best practice.

We can design from the ground up, or work with your layouts. From the simple one page, through to far larger and more complex sites, we deliver solid results with highly competitive pricing.

And better still, when you choose to work with Velocity Digital, your site is designed and built by people who live and breathe the digital space, from the hardware up. Contact us to discuss your new site today.

Local

All the websites we design and deploy are done locally. We do not offshore your project... ever.

Speed First

We design and build websites to a speed first methodology.

Mobile Compliant

It's not even a question you need to ask! Every site looks and works as well on mobile as it does on desktop.

Security

Unlike many, site security is at the top of our build list. We ensure your site is as secure as possible from the get go.

Framework

Yes, we build on WordPress. But we only do so with commercial frameworks. We don't leave your site hanging on free or unlicensed plugins.

SEO

Every site is built and optimised to be SEO complaint and ready. That means if you engage our, or your own SEO experts, your site is ready to go to the next level.

How much experience do you have?

Apart from working within the website development world since 1998, the head of our website development team owned and operated our own ecommerce based business' for 20+ years, selling product to literally every corner of the world!

We understand not only the technical side of building great websites, but also the trails and tribulations of operating in the online space as a business. Your website is built by people with real world operational experience, not just people who like building websites.

What platform do you build with?

Will my site be unique?

Yes!

Unlike many services out there, we do not, ever, base our site designs on a modified 'packaged' theme.

While many services will do this, we find this to be worst practice, as sites that are based on this are often injected with custom, undocumented code prone to breaking when the theme is updated.

Every site Velocity Host builds is based on a core framework and starts as a 'blank sheet'. We then build your site based on what it needs and no more, keeping it light and efficient.

Do you use free plugins?

Yes and no.

Our core development stack is based on plugins that we have researched and worked with for years.

While the majority of the stack are commercial (we pay yearly for their license), there are a few small plugins that sit in the 'freemium' realm; these plugins offer an advanced, paid license tier for those that want the additional features. For the most part, the free tier meet our needs well enough, and as these plugins are semi commercial, they are constantly kept up to date.

We will never install, or recommend using, unlicensed or free only tier plugins, as they can represent both a reliability and security threat.

Do I have to pay for plugins?

Yes... and no.

We will build your site on our development stack, which we maintain the licenses for as long as you are either hosted with Velocity Host or have subscribed to one of our management plans.

Our stack covers the needs of almost all client sites.

If though, in the scope of your website's brief, there is a special, or specific, need that sits outside a regular build's parameters, we will (usually) find a plugin or service that will deliver the requirements. In this case, you will be responsible for buying, and maintaining, the license.

In the case of building your site where it is hosted externally, and you are not subscribed to a management plan, then we will maintain all licenses for the period of twelve (12) months from the time of site launch. After this time, we will notify you, and you will need to acquire the relevant license from the plugin suppliers.

Please note, we will not install and activate any commercial plugin without a full license attached.
