Pricing and timelines for Australian businesses

Indicative ranges to help planning. Your exact scope will set the final figure.

• Starter or refresh (5–8 pages): AU$5k–$10k, ~3–6 weeks
• Growth site (multi‑template, lead‑gen): AU$10k–$25k, ~6–10 weeks
• Ecommerce (catalogue + checkout): AU$15k–$60k+, ~8–12 weeks

Platform choice: WordPress vs Shopify and others

Most lead‑generation sites benefit from WordPress flexibility and strong content tooling. Ecommerce brands often gain speed and lower maintenance with Shopify. Choose based on your business model, in‑house capability and required apps or integrations.

• WordPress: versatile for services, content, SEO and complex layouts
• Shopify: streamlined storefront, secure checkout and app ecosystem
• Landing page stacks: fast testing for campaigns before full rebuilds

Redesign now or launch high‑converting landing pages first?

If your brand foundation is solid and you need faster results from paid traffic, standalone landing pages can lift conversion quickly. If trust, structure and mobile UX are the bottlenecks, a redesign usually delivers better long‑term ROI across channels.

What shapes cost, scope or timing

• Competition level and offer strength
• Existing assets (brand, copy, photography, case studies)
• Technical setup (CMS, hosting, integrations, legacy code)
• Creative and content volume required
• Tracking, reporting and QA requirements
• Stakeholder count and approval cadence

Common website design mistakes to avoid

• Designing for appearance instead of conversion outcomes
• Unclear above‑the‑fold messaging and weak proof
• Poor mobile UX and slow load times
• Over‑complicated navigation and thin service pages
• CTAs that don’t match buyer intent
• No event‑level tracking, heatmaps or replay for insights
• Disconnect between ads, keywords and landing pages

How to evaluate website design services (fast)

• Objective: leads, bookings or transactions? Define one primary KPI.
• Baseline: current conversion rate, qualified lead volume and CAC.
• Evidence: recent work that matches your industry and site size.
• Approach: strategy first, then UX/UI, content and build (not just visuals).
• Measurement: GA4 events, CRM attribution and reporting cadence.
• Handover: documentation, training, and testing plan post‑launch.
