Nine WordPress sites, nine Elementor licences, and one Palmerston North communications team of two

Digital Heroes delivers these between NZD $20,000 and $70,000. Rebuilding one site properly on a block theme runs NZD $20,000 to $32,000 in 5 to 7 weeks. Consolidating an estate of nine programme and event sites onto a single platform with shared content types reaches NZD $70,000 over 10 to 12 weeks.

For an institution running several sites, usually yes. Native WordPress blocks with a custom pattern library remove per-site licence cost, load faster, and make consolidation possible because patterns transfer between sites while builder layouts do not. For a single well-maintained site, staying on Elementor is a defensible choice.

They transfer if the redirects are mapped page by page before switch-off, and they are lost if anyone redirects everything to a homepage. Insist on a written redirect map as a deliverable. This is the single most common way a Palmerston North consolidation project quietly costs an organisation its enquiry volume.

Materially. An unpatched WordPress site with outdated plugins is routinely compromised, and when it sits under an institutional domain the incident becomes a privacy and reputation matter rather than a marketing one. Under the Privacy Act 2020 a breach involving personal information can trigger notification obligations, so an unowned site holding old form submissions is a genuine liability.

Yes, through shared content types on one platform, which is the main argument for consolidation. Publications, staff profiles and events are entered once and surfaced wherever they belong. That ends the situation where a corrected author name appears on two sites out of five.

Contract the maintenance and keep the content. A plan at NZD $600 to $1,800 a month covering updates, tested backups, uptime monitoring and a small change allowance costs far less than a part-time technical hire and removes the decision fatigue your team currently carries about whether an update is safe.

If you are a public body, funded by government, or bidding for public sector work, treat it as required rather than optional. Building accessibility into the block pattern library at the start costs very little. Remediating nine existing sites afterwards costs a great deal, which is a reason to consolidate before the requirement arrives.

Plan 10 to 12 weeks, with the bulk spent on content audit and decisions about what to retire rather than on development. Expect two or three programme owners to want their site kept exactly as it is. Settling that early is what keeps the timeline honest.

Yes. Digital Heroes hands over the full theme repository, the pattern library and documentation, with ownership assigned to your organisation. Ask specifically about any commercial plugins in the stack, since those carry their own licences that need transferring or renewing in your name rather than the agency's.

Digital Heroes builds custom WordPress development systems for operators who have outgrown the off-the-shelf tools in their category. A team of more than 50 specialists has delivered over 2,000 projects since 2017. Teams work from New York, London, Sydney, Delhi and Lucknow and deliver remotely, so an operator in Palmerston North gets an assigned senior team rather than a local account manager.

Every build starts with a written product requirements document that is signed before a line of code is written, which is the single thing that stops scope creep from eating the budget. Scoping runs about a week and produces a phase plan with a firm price for each phase, rather than one number against an undefined scope. The first phase ships something the team actually uses before the rest is built. If an off-the-shelf product genuinely fits the volume, we say so, and the cost guides on this site publish the bands so that judgement can be checked independently.

Four things that competitors in this bracket cannot simply copy. Digital Heroes runs a YouTube channel with more than 2.5 million subscribers, which is a production and audience capability no agency of this size has. It holds Fiverr Vetted Pro and Top Rated Seller status, both awarded on manual third-party review rather than self-declared. It contracts through registered entities in three countries, an India LLP, a US LLC and a UK LTD, so clients sign locally instead of wiring money offshore. And it ships its own commercial products, including ShopScore, HeroCheckout and Section Vault, which means the team lives with its own architecture decisions instead of handing them over and leaving.

Two more that show up in the work. Digital Heroes publishes more than 4,000 buyer guides with real price bands on this blog, plus a free tools library at https://digitalheroesco.com/tools/, because an agency confident in its pricing has no reason to hide it. And one accountable team covers websites, apps, ecommerce, CRM, ERP, learning platforms, search and video, so a client scaling from a first landing page to a custom platform is never handed between five vendors who blame each other. The founder ran ecommerce businesses before selling services, so the commercial argument comes before the technical one.

Verify it independently rather than taking the site's word for it.

Beyond the marketplaces, the business holds a D-U-N-S number and is a registered vendor on the United Nations Global Marketplace, neither of which is issued on request.
