Website design and development for Melbourne businesses

Starting a business, replacing an outdated site or ready to bring in more enquiries? Choose a website built around your services, your customers and how much control you want after launch. I handle the design and build, with AI-assisted and custom options available.

  • Clear service pages
  • Responsive on all devices
  • SEO-friendly structure
  • Features scoped upfront
  • Website migration

Custom website design with an editor

The Core plan gives you a custom layout, pages organised around your services and an editor for your own updates. It suits businesses that want to add content, manage a blog or change their website as they grow.

Custom website design

Online bookings and enquiry forms

Make the next step clear with enquiry forms and click-to-call links. If customers need to book appointments or reserve a service, we can discuss a booking integration and confirm any extra costs before the build.

Local SEO for Melbourne businesses

Connect your website with the services and areas your customers search for. Local Essentials combines a managed AI website with local keyword research, on-page improvements and Google Business Profile optimisation.

Local SEO services

Website redesigns and migrations

Refresh a dated design or move away from a platform that no longer suits you. We review the content, page addresses and features you need to keep, then plan redirects for URLs that change.

What goes into your business website?

A useful website needs more than a finished design. We plan the pages, contact options and support around how your business works.

Mobile-friendly pages and navigation

Customers should be able to read your services, view your work and contact you on a phone. We build responsive layouts and check the main navigation and enquiry steps across screen sizes.

Service pages with clear SEO foundations

Descriptive headings, useful page titles and links between related services help visitors understand your offer. Your small business website starts with those essentials; ongoing local SEO work is available through Local Essentials.

A straightforward path to an enquiry

Calls, quote requests and appointment bookings need different next steps. We choose contact options that fit your business and explain where a booking tool or other integration needs a separate quote.

Hosting and a plan for website updates

Hosting and SSL are included in the monthly plans. Choose Core if you want an editor, Starter AI for a simple site without a CMS, or Local Essentials for managed changes and local SEO. Compare the plans and inclusions.

Built around your business and your customers

Small business websites built around customer enquiries

A good website helps people see what you do, why you’re a good fit and how to get in touch. We put those answers where customers can find them.

Starting from scratch or ready for a refresh? I’ll build around your services, your real work and the way you want customers to contact you.

Ask a question
What do I need to begin making a website?

To get started, you'll need the following:

  • Your logo design files. If you don't have one, I can recommend a trusted designer.
  • The majority of your website content, including text and images.
  • Design direction. Generally I ask for two websites you like within your industry.
  • If you're unsure about anything, I'm here to guide you through the process.
How long will it take to make my website?

Typical build times depend on your chosen plan:

  • Starter AI and Local Essentials: typically 24–48 hours.
  • Core custom websites: typically about a week.
  • The timeline starts once your brief and content are ready. We confirm review time and any additional features before the build.
What's the website building process?

Here's an outline of how we'll work together:

  • Initial call. We'll meet via video or phone call to discuss your vision, content and requirements.
  • Build phase. I'll create your website based on our discussion and your provided content.
  • Review. You'll receive a private link to review your site. You can request one round of revisions to make sure it's perfect.
  • Launch. Once approved, I'll launch your website and ensure everything is running smoothly.
How much does a small business website cost?

Starter AI costs $199 once off plus $39/month. Core costs $549 once off plus $59/month. Local Essentials costs $249/month and includes a FREE website build or website refresh. Additional features are quoted separately before work begins. We confirm your plan inclusions and any extra costs on our first call.

Can I update the website myself after launch?

The Core plan includes an easy-to-use website editor and a personalised how-to video, so you can edit, update and add content. Starter AI does not include a CMS login. With Local Essentials, send me your changes and I'll handle them as part of your managed plan.

What happens once my website is live? Does it require maintenance?

Your website doesn't need system maintenance. Everything is included in the monthly hosting plan, and the system creates automatic backups whenever you publish changes, so you're always protected.

How do I pay?

Payments are simple. Your invoice includes a link to a secure payment portal where you can pay with any credit or debit card, and you'll automatically receive a receipt for your records. Invoices are sent on the 1st of each calendar month, or we can arrange an annual payment plan if you prefer.

Do you work alone?

Yes, I handle the majority of the website work myself. Occasionally, if I'm busy, I may outsource certain parts of a project to trusted partners. I also collaborate with a talented logo designer and an experienced copywriter if you need help with branding or content.

Do you offer website development as well as design?

Yes. I handle the design and the website build, including responsive pages, navigation and contact forms. The Core plan includes a website editor. Booking platforms, online stores and other custom features are scoped and quoted separately, so we can confirm what is included before you commit.

Can you redesign or move my existing website?

Yes. We first review the pages, content and features worth keeping. If page addresses change during the rebuild, we plan redirects to help visitors and search engines reach the replacement pages. The right approach depends on your current platform and the plan you choose.

Is SEO included, or do I need an ongoing plan?

Every website plan includes essential SEO foundations. Local Essentials adds ongoing local keyword research, on-page SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation and monthly reporting. A website build and an ongoing SEO service have different scopes; we will explain which work your business needs on the first call.
