Services
Web design services from a Melbourne web designer
Custom websites, web development, small business sites and landing pages, designed and built for established businesses that have outgrown a DIY or dated site. Every site is built to load fast, sound like your brand and turn visitors into enquiries.
the problem
A website that looks fine but doesn't bring in work
Most small business websites get designed to pass the approval meeting, not to get a customer to pick up the phone. They look tidy on the designer's big screen and fall apart on a phone. The copy talks about "quality solutions" when your customer wants to know if you cover their area, what it costs and how soon you can start. The contact form sits three clicks deep.
Then there's the stuff nobody sees until it bites. Pages that take five seconds to load. A site only the original developer knows how to edit, and they've stopped answering emails.
A good build fixes this before launch, not after. It starts from what your customers need to see to trust you, and works back from there.
of web pages get zero traffic from Google
Most of those pages were written without knowing what anyone was actually searching for. Every page we build starts with keyword research: what your customers type in, what they expect to find, and how your brand needs to sound when they land. Written to be found, then written to be read.
Whats included
Everything that goes into a website that actually works
Custom Design
Designed around your customers and the one thing you need them to do next. Not a pre-made theme with your logo dropped in.
Mobile-First Build
Over 60% of your visitors are on mobile. Designed for them first, scaled up after.
Built to be found
Page titles, site structure, page speed, schema and redirects from your old site, all set up properly before launch day.
Keyword-researched copy
Every page is written from keyword research and search intent, in your brand's tone of voice, so it matches what customers search for and sounds like you when they arrive.
Accessibility and privacy basics
Labelled forms, readable contrast, alt text and keyboard navigation. Plus a privacy policy that matches what your forms actually collect.
Launch and handover
Domain, SSL, email, analytics and Search Console, all set up in your name and tested on real devices before go-live.
What kind of website do you actually need?
Whichever build fits, you're working directly with the web designer who plans, writes and builds it.
Web development services
For sites that need to do more than show information: booking systems, quote calculators, client portals, or connections to your CRM and accounting software. Our custom website development services are built around how your business actually runs, fast to load and easy for you to update after launch.
Small business web design
A proper site for an established business that has outgrown the DIY version. Affordable website design shouldn't mean a stripped-back site that looks cheap the moment a customer lands on it. Affordable web design for small businesses, done right, means a fixed quote, keyword-researched pages and a site built to bring in enquiries.
Landing page design service
One page, one campaign, one job. As landing page designers, we build pages for Google Ads, email and social campaigns, matched to the ad that sent people there and written around the terms your customers use. Our landing page web design services are quoted per page, starting at the $1,500 project minimum.
how it works
From first call to launch day, in four steps.
A fixed quote up front, progress you can see along the way, and a launch that doesn't undo what your old site had going for it.
01
Scope and quote
One conversation about your customers, your goals and what the current site is getting wrong. You get a fixed quote, not an hourly estimate that keeps growing.
02
Design & Build
You see progress throughout, not one big reveal at the end. Every old page gets redirected to its new home, so the traffic and links your current site has earned come across with you.
03
Launch and handover
Tested on real phones and browsers, then launched with everything registered in your name. It's your site from day one, ready to run yourself or hand over for ongoing care.
04
Ongoing Management
This is where we stay. Monthly updates, content edits, and improvements.
Melbourne's trusted landscaping and gardening company, we built their website and laid the SEO foundation to help them get found by local homeowners.
A cloud based accounting firm serving British Columbia, we designed their website and built an SEO foundation to support long term organic growth.
Elliement Creative
A bold, end to end creative and marketing agency site built to showcase their work and reach modern brands looking to stand out.
Builds are $1,500 to $5,000, one-off and paid upfront. Where you land depends on page count, features like booking or quote forms, and how much copy needs writing from scratch. For context, Australian small business owners expect a professional build to cost about $3,200 on average, so most projects land close to what you'd already set aside. No payment plans, no monthly build fees.
Affordable website design, without the stripped-back build
Who we work with
Supporting established service businesses across Melbourne.
Accounting & Financial Services
Your clients trust you with their finances. Your website should reflect that same level of professionalism. We build and manage online presences for accounting firms, bookkeepers, and financial planners who want to attract quality clients without lifting a finger on the digital side.
Landscaping & Trades
You're busy on site. The last thing you need is another thing to manage. We handle your website, social content, and Google profile so your online presence keeps working while you're out on the tools.
Legal & Professional Services
First impressions matter in law. We design websites that communicate credibility and trust from the first scroll, then keep them updated with fresh content and strong local visibility.
Medical & Allied Health
Patients are searching for you online before they ever pick up the phone. We make sure what they find is professional, up to date, and easy to navigate across every device.
Every client gets a website designed around their business, not a template with their logo dropped in. And every client gets ongoing management as standard, because a website that isn't maintained is a website that falls behind.
What happens after launch day
A new website is the starting point. If you want someone looking after it and growing it month to month, that's a separate service.
qUESTIONS & aNSWERS
Website design questions, answered
What's the difference between web design and web development?
Design is what the site looks like and how it guides people to get in touch. Development is the build underneath: how fast it loads, how forms and bookings work, and how it connects to your other software. Most small business sites need a bit of both. Anything with booking, quoting or integrations leans harder on development.
How long does a website build take?
A typical small business website takes four to eight weeks from kickoff to launch. More complex builds with custom features, integrations, or larger content requirements can take longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Can you design a landing page on its own?
Yes. Standalone landing page web design services start at the same $1,500 minimum as a full build. They suit a Google Ads or email campaign that needs one focused page, matched to the ad people clicked.
Who owns the website when it's finished?
You should own everything: the domain, registered against your ABN; your Google Analytics and Search Console accounts; and all your content and images. Everything is set up in your name from the start, so nothing is stuck with us if you ever move on.
I already have a website. Will a redesign lose my Google traffic?Title or Question
It can, if old pages disappear without redirects. That's one of the most common ways a new site loses traffic overnight. Before launch, we redirect every old page to its new home, so the traffic and links you've built up carry across.
Does my website need to be accessible?
The Australian Human Rights Commission treats information and services provided online as covered by the Disability Discrimination Act, and it points to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as the benchmark. Every build covers the basics: readable contrast, alt text, labelled forms and keyboard navigation.
