Website Development Perth

Website development investment depends on the service: WordPress, custom design, eCommerce, redesign, or landing pages each have different package structures and scope. AlpineRoot provides fixed-price quotes based on a defined scope after a scoping conversation. Browse our service pages for published package tiers, or contact us for a quote tailored to your project.

A standard small business WordPress site takes five to eight weeks from brief to launch. eCommerce stores typically take eight to twelve weeks. Custom web applications take twelve to twenty weeks depending on complexity. The most common cause of project delays is slow content delivery from the client. AlpineRoot provides a content requirements guide at the start of every project so you know exactly what is needed and when, which keeps the build on schedule.

Web design refers to the visual and user experience work: layout, colour palette, typography, spacing, and how a visitor navigates the site. Web development refers to the technical build: writing the code that makes the design work in a browser, connecting a CMS, setting up forms, and integrating third-party tools. At AlpineRoot, the same team handles both. You do not get a designer who hands off to a developer who has never spoken to you, which is where most web project communication problems originate.

A freelancer is often cheaper for a simple project but carries risk: if they become unavailable mid-project, you have no recourse. An agency provides a structured process, a team with multiple skill sets, and accountability that does not disappear when one person gets busy. AlpineRoot is a small agency, which means you get the structure and reliability of an agency without the account manager layer that stops you talking directly to the people building your site.

Yes. Every project includes 60 days of free post-launch support covering bugs, minor adjustments, and questions. After 60 days, ongoing support is available through a monthly WordPress care plan that covers security updates, plugin updates, performance monitoring, and a set number of monthly support hours. Care plan pricing is quoted separately from the initial build.

Yes. Website redesigns are a significant part of the work we do. Before any design decisions are made, we audit your existing site for technical issues, performance problems, and content gaps. This audit informs the redesign brief so the new site addresses the actual problems with the old one, not just how it looks. If your existing content, domain authority, or URL structure has SEO value, we build a migration plan that protects it.

Five things that consistently separate websites that work from websites that do not: loading speed under three seconds on mobile; a clear answer on the homepage to what the business does and who it serves; a contact method or call to action visible without scrolling; a design that communicates credibility in the first five seconds; and correct technical SEO setup so Google can find and index the pages. AlpineRoot builds all five of these into every project by default.

Ask to see examples of websites they have built that are similar to what you need. Ask who will actually do the work on your project. Ask how scope changes and additional work are handled mid-project. Ask what happens if the project runs over time or over budget. Ask what is and is not included in the quoted price, specifically whether SEO, copywriting, and hosting are included or extra. Ask what the handover process looks like and whether you will own the site and all its files outright.
