WEBSITE DESIGN

WEBSITE DESIGN

small business website design

 

Your website should do more than just look good. It should help your business get found and turn visitors into real enquiries.

That’s why every site I build is rooted in strategy from the start. I bring together design, content, and SEO thinking so everything works together,  not just the visuals, but the structure, the messaging, and the way your customers move through your site.

I work with small businesses, trades, and service providers to create websites that are clear, professional, and built to perform, so you can stop worrying about your online presence and focus on running your business.

WHY IT MATTERS

Most small business websites struggle because they:

*aren’t built with SEO in mind

*don’t clearly communicate their services

*don’t guide visitors toward enquiry

A well-designed website fixes all three.

"DESIGN IS NOT JUST WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE. DESIGN IS HOW IT WORKS". -Steve Jobs

Are there any hidden costs? 

No hidden costs – what you see in the package is what you pay. That said, there are a couple of small third-party tools I recommend so that you own and control your website outright.

To get the most out of your site, I recommend:

Paid:

  • WP Rocket — ~$59 USD/year (caching/speed)
  • Gravity Forms — ~$59 USD/year (forms)
  • Elementor Pro — ~$99 AUD/year. First year covered.

Free or free tier sufficient for most small businesses:

  • RankMath — free or paid for Pro $99
  • WPForms — free version is fine for most
  • Wordfence — free version is solid
  • UpdraftPlus — free version covers basic backups
  • MonsterInsights — free version works, or connect Analytics directly
  • Akismet — free for small business use
  • Most image optimisers — free

Because your website is 100% yours, you’ll be responsible for keeping plugins updated to ensure everything runs smoothly – but don’t worry, I’ll walk you through exactly how to do this before we wrap up. Training is included.

We are based in Melbourne but work with clients Australia-wide. Everything is set up for seamless remote collaboration.

Your website will be built with SEO best practices from the start, including structure, keywords, and optimisation, so it has the best chance of being found.

SEO does take time, though. Most businesses start to see improvements within a few months, with stronger, more consistent results building over time.

SEO helps your website show up on Google organically (not paid ads) when people are searching for your services.  Without it, your website is much harder to find – even if it looks great.

Yes — I optimise your website and your Google presence so your business shows up for local searches (like “plumber near me” or “dentist in Ringwood”.

I also offer ongoing SEO support if you want to keep improving your visibility and building consistent results over time.

I can review your current site and either optimise it or recommend a rebuild if needed.

You’re welcome to provide your own content, which often helps keep things personal and aligned with your brand.

I’ll guide you on what’s needed and refine your content so it’s clear, structured, and optimised for SEO.

If you’d rather not write it yourself, I offer professional copywriting and can source images if needed – both at an additional cost and also recommend a photographer.

Yes. I build websites that are simple to manage, so you can make updates without needing ongoing support. I provide light training once your website is completed.

A 50% deposit is required to secure your project and begin work on your website.

The remaining 50% is due once your website is complete and ready to go live. Final handover will take place once the balance is received.

Payments can be made via card (credit or debit), bank transfer, or PayPal.

I use WordPress, which gives you a flexible, easy-to-manage website that’s built with SEO and growth in mind.

I offer ongoing website updates and support if you need changes to your content, pages, or layout over time.

For technical maintenance (like hosting, security, and updates), I can guide you on the best setup or recommend trusted providers, so your website stays secure and running smoothly.

Your domain and hosting will need to be set up by you, so everything stays in your name.

I’ll provide clear guidance and recommendations to make the process simple and ensure everything is set up correctly.

Strategy First, Always

Before anything is designed, we focus on direction; understanding your business, your audience, and how people are actually searching for your services. This ensures your website is built with purpose from the start.


Built to Be Found and Convert

Once the strategy is set, we design and build your website with SEO, structure, and user experience in mind, so it not only looks professional, but attracts the right visitors and turns them into enquiries.


Tailored to Your Business

No two businesses are the same. Your website and SEO approach is shaped around your services, your goals, and how competitive your space is, so you’re investing in what actually makes an impact.


Ongoing Refinement and Growth

After launch, we continue to refine and optimise, improving visibility, strengthening performance, and helping you build momentum over time.
