The Ethical Agency’s key differentiator is that we invest the necessary time to fully understand your business, goals and objectives – our website development services are 100% tailored and customised to your users’ needs.
TEA are WordPress website design and development specialists – over 40% of websites on the planet are built with WordPress. And let’s face it, there are companies out there offering websites for hundreds of $US, but we can guarantee you are not receiving a unique product, nor the service offering and professional outcome that you can expect from a dedicated WordPress website development agency.
The 2 most important questions to ask:
- What solution is your website/service solving for its users and customers?
- What does the data tell us about your existing and new users, and how do we use that to our advantage?
It is from that basis that we define the appropriate strategy for your website design and development project.
The success of this strategy is evidenced by the 50 websites we still maintain to this day.

Additional website services
Website design and development is a specific set of skills and deliverables. There are requirements you may have that fall outside the scope of website development.
- SEO
Whist a brand new website is a great achievement, without website visitors you are winking in the dark. Keeping your website consistently updated with new, relevant and useful SEO optimised content is the most effective way to gain authority in your industry while generating traffic to your website. Speak to our digital marketing team for our SEO recommendations and monthly retainer plans. - Advanced website optimisation
Whilst there is a lot we can do to ensure your website loads lightening fast, dependent on requirements, budget and timeframes, the way your website is built may need additional website optimisation that is not part of standard website development – we can discuss the needs of your website in this regard. - Bespoke e-commerce functionality
Not all e-commerce stores are built the same – dependent on your requirements, additional functionality may need be developed or software purchased to provide the user experience required for your customers. - Website maintenance
