Frequently Asked Questions - Web Design

It depends on scope. A small business brochure website in Brisbane commonly runs from about $2,500 to $7,500, while a more polished, lead-focused build sits closer to $7,500 to $15,000. eCommerce and heavily custom work start higher. We ask about your goals upfront so the estimate reflects what you actually need.

For a straightforward small business site with a handful of pages, a contact form and mobile-friendly design, budgets typically land in the $2,500 to $6,000 range in Brisbane. The Website Cost Estimator on this site gives you a quick indicative figure before you talk to anyone.

A simpler Shopify or WooCommerce store usually starts around $6,000 to $12,000, with more feature-rich stores running $12,000 to $25,000 or beyond. Product count, custom design and integrations are the main cost drivers.

Only if you want a care plan. Hosting, updates, backups and security support are usually offered as an optional monthly plan, commonly $50 to $300 a month depending on the level of support. You are not locked in - many owners manage their own site after training.

Most projects run through discovery (goals, audience, content), design (layouts and visuals), build (the working site), then review and launch. You see the design before it is built and get a chance to request changes at each stage.

Usually your logo and branding, the content or a rough idea of it, any images you own, your goals for the site and a rough budget and timeline. If your content is not ready, we can guide the structure so it does not hold the project up.

A simple brochure site is commonly around 4 to 10 weeks, a WordPress or small business site around 6 to 10 weeks, and an eCommerce or custom build from about 12 weeks up to several months. Timelines depend most on how quickly content and feedback come back.

Often yes for a focused single-page or landing-page build, which can move in around 2 to 4 weeks. Larger sites still need time for content and revisions, but we can prioritise a launch-ready core and add the rest afterwards.

WordPress suits most Brisbane small businesses because it is flexible, widely supported and easy to update yourself. Shopify is usually the better fit for product-based stores. We recommend the platform that matches how you will actually run the site.

Yes. We build on editable platforms like WordPress and provide training so you can change text, images and pages without a developer. If you would rather not touch it, a care plan covers changes for you.

Yes. We design Shopify and WooCommerce stores with product pages, secure checkout, and payment and shipping setup, built to load fast and convert visitors into buyers on mobile as well as desktop.

Yes. A careful redesign maps your existing URLs, preserves the content Google already values and uses 301 redirects where pages move, so you keep the rankings you have while modernising the design and speed.

A well-built site helps. We structure pages with clean markup, fast load times and sensible on-page SEO so the site is ready to rank. Ongoing ranking results also depend on competition and content, and under Australian Consumer Law no one can honestly guarantee a specific position.

Yes. Every site is built responsive and mobile-first, with attention to Core Web Vitals and page speed. Most Brisbane visitors arrive on a phone, so fast, tap-friendly layouts are a default, not an upgrade.

Yes. We design focused landing pages built around a single action, with conversion-led structure and form and tracking setup, so your ad spend lands on a page designed to turn clicks into enquiries.

If you are on a care plan, we monitor and fix it. If not, you can reach out for one-off support. We also set up backups so the site can be restored quickly if anything goes wrong.

We can arrange fast, secure hosting as part of a care plan, or set the site up on hosting you already have. Either way you own the site and your domain - nothing is held hostage.

A local team understands the Brisbane market and is easy to reach when you need changes. You get someone who knows the difference between selling in Fortitude Valley and Sunnybank, and who is contactable in your own time zone.

We work with businesses right across Brisbane and greater South East Queensland - from the CBD, Fortitude Valley, Newstead and West End through to Toowong, Indooroopilly, Chermside, Carindale, Mount Gravatt and Sunnybank.

Yes. Fortitude Valley is one of our core areas - we work with creative, hospitality and startup businesses across James Street, Brunswick Street and the wider Valley who want design-led sites that match a strong brand.

Yes. Sunnybank has a dense, multicultural mix of retail and services, and many owners need fast, mobile-first sites that work for customers on a phone. We build practical websites suited to that market.

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. Australian Consumer Law treats guaranteed-ranking claims as misleading. What we can do is build a fast, well-structured, search-ready site and be transparent about what drives results over time.
