A web design agency in Collingwood, sites that rank and convert.

Brochure sites for a small Melbourne business typically run $8,000 to $20,000. Mid-tier websites with a CMS, multiple page templates, and proper SEO foundations sit at $20,000 to $40,000. E-commerce, multi-language, or custom-build projects start at $40,000 and run upwards. Our Custom brand-and-website tier (built alongside a Branding Package) starts at $25,000 with the brand included. Every quote is fixed-fee against an agreed scope, never hourly time and materials.

Shopify for e-commerce, WordPress for content-led businesses, and Next.js or fully custom for high-performance brand sites where speed and SEO weight matter. We pick the right tool for where you are now and where you are heading, not the platform we get the biggest reseller commission on. Several of our brands run on Shopify because they sell, several run on Next.js because they want hand-control of the front-end, several run on WordPress because their team is comfortable maintaining it. Right tool, right job.

Typical builds run 1 to 3 months end-to-end including discovery, design, copy, build, and launch. Brochure sites can ship at the shorter end (4 to 6 weeks). E-commerce, multi-language, or custom-build projects sit at the longer end (10 to 16 weeks). We work to your launch date, not the other way around. Discovery is the longest phase that no one wants to pay for, and the phase that determines whether the rest of the build goes smoothly.

Yes, technical SEO is built in, not bolted on. Schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, Article where relevant), semantic HTML, fast-loading architecture (Core Web Vitals tuned), alt text on every image, optimised AVIF/WebP assets, sitemap, robots, hreflang where needed, and Google Search Console verification on launch. Content SEO (the ongoing keyword research, content production, internal linking work) is a separate scope and we can quote that as a retainer alongside the build.

Either, and most clients want us on copy because the words and the layout are inseparable. The way a hero headline works is bound up with how the headline is set, how the lead reads, how the CTA sits. We can also work to your supplied copy if you have an in-house writer or content team. The cost difference between agency-written and client-supplied copy is around 15% of the build.

Yes. We host through Vercel (for Next.js and custom builds) or Shopify (for e-commerce), with an ongoing care plan that covers monthly platform updates, security patches, performance monitoring, plug-in updates (for WordPress), backup snapshots, and small content edits. Care plans run from $300 to $1,200 per month depending on the platform and the volume of changes. Or hand over and run it yourself, your call.

Yes. We migrate sites off WordPress (and Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) onto faster platforms regularly. The hard part is not the build, the hard part is migrating the content, the URLs, and the SEO equity without dropping rankings. We set up 301 redirects for every legacy URL that has search equity, preserve the schema structure, and submit the new sitemap to Search Console on launch. Rankings recover inside 2 to 4 weeks if the migration is done right.

Yes, on Shopify primarily. Custom theme builds (we don't ship apps with paid Shopify themes), payment gateway setup, shipping logic, tax configuration, inventory connections, abandoned-cart automation, klaviyo email setup, post-purchase upsells, B2B portals where relevant. We focus on Shopify because it is the platform that scales the best for Australian small and mid-market e-commerce. WooCommerce and BigCommerce we can build on but rarely recommend.

Yes. Over 60% of traffic on most of our client sites is mobile, so we design mobile first and scale up. Touch targets sized for thumbs, navigation patterns that work without hover, image loading optimised for mobile bandwidth, and Core Web Vitals tuned specifically for mobile devices (the LCP/CLS/INP measurements Google uses to rank).
