Custom-built, WordPress and Wix websites, with considered design, clear content and a path from browsing to enquiry.
We build custom websites as well as complete WordPress and Wix sites. Start with your pages, content and customer journey, then choose the development approach that fits.
WordPress work covers themes and plugins. Wix covers the whole website, with Manicon demonstrating a CMS + Headless approach. Our custom website development service is illustrated by MorrowVault.
Themes shape the website. Plugins make it work.
Build the design and the functionality as two clear parts. We can customise an existing WordPress site or develop the theme and plugins needed for a new one.
From adapting a suitable theme to creating a custom one, we turn your brand and content into reusable, responsive pages.
Add the functionality your website needs through plugins. We can configure existing plugins, extend their behaviour or develop a custom plugin for your workflow.
Keep presentation in the theme and functionality in plugins. Agree content editing, updates, backups and maintenance at handover.
A complete website on Wix, from the first page to launch.
We design and build full Wix websites: brand-led pages, editable content, enquiry forms and the business features your site needs. CMS and headless development are options within that service, chosen when they fit the project.
Responsive pages, navigation and reusable sections designed around your brand.
Content editing, forms and, where needed, bookings or online sales. We agree the required features and platform plans.
Structured content, dynamic pages and system connections. A headless frontend is available when the project calls for it.
For this project, Wix CMS manages the property content and a custom headless frontend presents the website. It is one way we deliver a Wix website.
We agree Wix account access, platform plans, custom development and ongoing support around the website you need.
A website shaped around your brand and content.
Alongside WordPress and Wix, we design and develop standalone business websites, product websites and landing pages. Page structure, responsive layouts, interactions and content maintenance are scoped around the project.
The MorrowVault product website brings together the product story, how it works, privacy information and FAQs, with a waitlist signup for interested visitors.
Custom websites are quoted for their pages, content, interactions and integrations. We agree how content will be updated and handed over before development.
Every website starts with the same questions: what visitors need to find, what your team needs to edit, and what should happen after an enquiry.
Plan the page structure and content, then build responsive layouts that make your services and next steps clear.
Optimise images and loading behaviour, check keyboard navigation and test the pages on different screen sizes.
Set page titles, descriptions, canonical URLs, structured data and a sitemap. Map redirects when replacing an existing site.
Check navigation and enquiry paths, confirm account access and show your team how to maintain the agreed content.
Where the project calls for it, website enquiries can feed a lead management system or CRM. Booking requests, quote requests and content updates can also connect to other tools through system integrations. We confirm API access, permissions and the workflow before quoting.
A content website is different from an operational system. Complex permissions, high-volume transactions and multi-step internal processes may call for a custom business system or SaaS platform, with WordPress or Wix used for the public-facing site.
We agree the pages, content, design, integrations and handover before setting a fixed project scope. Existing WordPress price guides are:
WordPress maintenance plans are A$149, A$249 and A$499 per month, plus GST. Inclusions depend on the plan; hosting and third-party fees are separate. See website hosting and maintenance. Wix platform fees, custom hosting where applicable and ongoing development support are scoped separately.
For larger integrations and custom functionality, see our custom software cost guide. You own the custom code and IP developed for your project, as set out in the agreement. Third-party themes, plugins and platforms retain their own licences and terms.
Tell us about your content, design and editing needs so we can recommend a suitable approach.
Yes. We offer standalone custom website development for business websites, product websites and landing pages. MorrowVault is one of these website projects. The implementation, content updates and hosting are agreed for each project.
WordPress suits projects that need flexible themes, plugins and control over hosting. Wix brings website design, content and business tools into a managed platform. We look at the pages, features, editing needs and integrations before recommending an approach.
Yes. We build complete Wix websites, including page design, responsive layouts, content, forms and the agreed business features. CMS, custom code and headless development are available when the project needs them. Manicon uses Wix CMS + Headless; other projects can use Wix website-building tools directly.
Our WordPress template-based business websites typically cost A$3,000-A$6,000. Custom WordPress themes, functionality or integrations typically cost A$12,000-A$45,000. Wix websites are quoted for their pages, content, business features and custom development. Ongoing platform, hosting and maintenance costs are discussed separately.
Yes. Theme work covers design, templates, blocks and responsive layouts. Plugin work covers custom functionality, forms, business rules and system integrations. We can customise existing themes and plugins or develop them for the project.
Yes. We agree which pages and content your team will manage and provide a handover. WordPress uses its editing tools; Wix websites use the relevant Wix editing tools and CMS collections. With a headless setup, content editing and custom frontend changes are handled separately.
Yes, where the systems provide suitable APIs and permissions. We can scope enquiry capture, lead assignment and other workflows as part of the build. Integrations are agreed for the project rather than assumed to be included in every website.
A WordPress template-based business website with content ready usually takes 2-4 weeks. A custom WordPress theme or integrations typically take 4-8 weeks. For Wix websites, we agree a schedule after reviewing the pages, content, design and business features. Content and feedback availability affect each schedule.
We start with a review of the content, platform, access, performance and current integrations. For WordPress we also check theme and plugin health. We then recommend improvements or a rebuild, with URL redirects and ongoing support included in the planning.
