Build it
Website Design for Small Business
You need a site that says what you do, works on a phone, and does not fall over when somebody actually clicks something. This page is about a new build: one page, a full site, or something with moving parts. Melbourne based, working with businesses across Australia.
What we build
Landing pages
One page, one job. Say what you do, show that you are real, and give people a way to get in touch. Good for a single service, or a first site while the business is still deciding what it is.
Multi-page sites
A page per service, an about page, a contact page, and room to add more later. This is what most small businesses end up with, and it is the shape that gives search engines something to work with.
Custom and interactive builds
For when the standard shapes do not fit. The calculators on this site are the same kind of build: a real tool on a page, not a picture of one. Scoped separately, because it is software rather than a page.
What is in a build
Not every project needs every line. What yours needs comes out of the first conversation.
The words
We write the copy, or you supply it. Either is fine, but say which up front so it is scoped in. Content and assets from an old site come across as part of the job, and where you have no photos or icons worth using, we source them.
A CMS, if you want one
Some clients want to change their own prices and add their own staff photos. Some would rather never see an admin panel again. Say which you are and we will build accordingly. If you would rather not touch it, care plans from Visibility up include monthly changes done for you.
The plumbing
Analytics and tracking, so you can see what the site is doing. Third party integrations where the site has to talk to something you already use. Hosting, the domain, and email wiring, so the site goes live without your email going down.
The floor, on every build
Accessibility to WCAG AA. A page weight budget. Core Web Vitals. No page builder anywhere near it. The panel on the home page is this site measuring itself in your browser, and it reads that way because of this list. The search setup is part of the same floor.
How a project runs
The same five steps every time. You get told which step yours is at, in the client portal, rather than having to ask.
Discovery
We learn your business, goals and customers.
Design
We design a site that fits your brand and converts.
Build
Fast, accessible, built on solid foundations.
Launch
We handle domains, email and go-live.
Support
Care plans keep your site fast, secure and current.
There is no published price list, because no two builds are the same. Every project is quoted to the job, and you have that quote before any work starts. How long it takes depends on the scope, and you get that range before you commit to anything.
Is this the page you want?
A business with no website at all. A business whose only presence is a Facebook page. A trade or a shop whose current site is so old that fixing it costs more than starting again.
If you already have a site and it is broadly sound, you probably want a redesign instead. If you need to sell products online, the answer is an online store, which is a different build with different rules.
Tell us what the site has to do.
Tell us what your business does and what you need the site to do for it. You will get an honest read on scope and a written quote, with no obligation to go ahead.
