& Hosting - Sydney

Design, development & managed hosting

BlueSix is a small, independent WordPress studio in Sydney, founded and run by me, Craig. I’ve been designing and building for the web for more than 25 years, and I’m still hands-on with every project, from UX and design through to custom themes, plugins, API integrations and server infrastructure. I’m also the head moderator of r/WordPress, a community of more than 300,000 members.

We build and look after WordPress websites for more than 100 clients in Sydney, Melbourne, New York and Los Angeles, including LJ Hooker, Workday, NSW Ports and Ventia, across industries from real estate and finance to pharmaceutical, media and defence.
