Real website decisions shaped by the business problem
These anonymised case studies are based on real client projects. They show the problem, the solution I recommended, and what the business owner reported after the work was completed.
Case study · Wetherill Park transport business
An ageing WordPress site and a failed contact form had become a business risk despite an expensive maintenance plan.
Recommendation: The informational site was rebuilt as a static website without a database or plugin stack.
Reported outcome: The replacement loads in under a second in testing, costs about $10 a month to host, and has remained online for three years.
Case study · Penrith residential builder
The quality of the builder's work was not reflected by the dated DIY branding and website used to pursue architect-led projects.
Recommendation: The project began with a branding kit, then a media-led service website designed around the real project portfolio.
Reported outcome: The owner reported stronger enquiries, several architect-led projects, and greater confidence charging for the quality of the work.

Yes. If your current WordPress site is slow, broken, hard to edit, or affected by plugin and hosting issues, it can often be rebuilt as a simpler static website. This can reduce maintenance and remove the need for constant WordPress, theme, and plugin updates.
Compare static websites and WordPressFor many simple business websites, yes. A static website can be fast, secure, and low-maintenance because it does not rely on a WordPress database, theme updates, or plugins. WordPress can still make sense for blogs, shops, memberships, or sites that need frequent editing.
Read the static website vs WordPress guideA prepared focused site can take from three business days to three weeks. Larger service sites generally take four to five weeks, while custom projects commonly need six weeks or more. Missing content, access, or feedback extends the schedule.
Review the website content checklistYes. Creative Theory can help connect your domain, set up static hosting, configure contact forms, and guide basic business email setup. This is useful if your old website and email are tied to cPanel or another hosting account.
Use the website launch checklistYes. Basic on-page SEO can be included, such as page titles, meta descriptions, headings, image alt text, local service wording, and a clear site structure. For local businesses, your website should also work alongside your Google Business Profile.
