About CloudyWP

A Melbourne web studio.
Four things, done properly.

We build websites, automate the work nobody should be doing by hand, and help businesses get found online. Hand-coded, block editor, page builder, or picking up an AI-built site someone else started — we work in all of it. No offshore handoffs, no boilerplate. Custom work, shipped to spec.

Australian team

Based here, working your hours — not a timezone away

144+ projects delivered

Over 10+ years building and maintaining sites for Australian businesses

One developer, start to finish

The same person every time — no re-explaining your site

Straight answers, on your terms

We only take work we can finish. Ask us anything first — no obligation

CloudyWP is a small Melbourne studio focused on four service areas: custom WordPress development, custom Shopify development, business automation, and SEO. We don't take work outside those areas — that's how we stay good at them.

Every project is scoped, quoted and built by senior developers. We don't run a junior pipeline, and we don't sell retainer packages full of work you don't need. You get a fixed deliverable, on a defined timeline, with the code and the documentation handed over at the end.

What We Actually Do

Four service areas. Each one a discipline we've narrowed down to deliberately. Click through to the full service page for pricing, process, and project examples.

01 — WordPress

WordPress Development

Custom WordPress builds — hand-coded themes and plugins, the native block editor, or Elementor and the other builders, depending on how you want to maintain the site. WooCommerce, membership systems, multi-language sites and custom post types built to your specification. SEO foundations included on every build.

  • Custom themes and plugins, no templates
  • WooCommerce and membership site builds
  • Core Web Vitals optimised — PageSpeed 90+
  • Maintenance plans available post-launch

02 — Shopify

Shopify Development

High-converting Shopify stores with custom themes, app development, and Australian payment gateways. From single-product Shopify Basic builds to Shopify Plus migrations and B2B store configuration.

  • Custom Shopify theme development
  • Shopify Plus and app development
  • WooCommerce → Shopify migration
  • CRO and speed optimisation
Shopify development →
03 — Automation

Business Automation

Workflow automation connecting the tools your business already uses. Zapier, Make.com, n8n, and custom integrations. Forms to CRM, leads to follow-up sequences, invoices to accounting — the repetitive work that should run without anyone clicking.

  • n8n, Make.com, and Zapier workflows
  • CRM and lead capture automation
  • Invoice, quote, and reporting automation
  • AI chatbot development
Automation services →
04 — SEO

SEO Services

Technical SEO, content production, local SEO for Melbourne businesses, and AI/GEO optimisation for ChatGPT and Perplexity. We don't promise rankings — we do the work that earns them and report what we shipped.

  • Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals
  • Local SEO and Google Business Profile
  • Monthly content production
  • AI/GEO optimisation for AI search

How We Work

The same three principles apply to every project, whether it's a WordPress build, an automation workflow, or an SEO engagement.

Senior developers, no juniors

Your project is built and managed by senior developers throughout. We don't run a junior training pipeline at your expense — every line of code is shipped by someone who has been doing this professionally for years.

Fixed quote, fixed timeline

Quote provided after a short scoping conversation. No hourly billing on a moving target. If the scope changes mid-project, we agree the change-order in writing before we touch it.

You own everything

Source code, accounts, documentation — handed over on completion. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary builders you have to keep paying for, no hostage situations if you ever want to move on.

02 — How we work

From first call to live — four steps, no surprises.

Every CloudyWP project runs the same way, whether it is a one-page site or a store with a thousand SKUs. Here is exactly what happens.

01

We map what you actually need.

A single scoping call, then a written plan: what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No discovery-phase invoices, no moving targets.

Typically 48 hours

02

We design and build it properly.

Custom WordPress or Shopify on clean code you own outright. Every build ships fast, passes Core Web Vitals, and is handed over documented.

2–6 weeks typical

03

We automate the busywork.

Your site talks to the tools you already run — CRM, invoicing, email, stock. The repetitive admin stops being someone's job and starts running itself.
