Remote process

How we work with Melbourne clients.

  1. 01

    Video call discovery

    30-minute video call. We learn your business, your customers, and what's not working. Completely remote - no need to visit Sydney.

  2. 02

    Written scope in 24 hours

    Fixed price, exact pages, exact launch date - in writing, within a day or two of the call. You approve before anything starts.

  3. 03

    Private preview link

    We build on a private link. You review the real site on any device - desktop, phone, tablet. Feedback via email or video call.

  4. 04

    Launch & handover

    Domain, hosting, code - all yours. We handle the technical launch and hand over full ownership. No ongoing dependency on us.

Understanding Melbourne

Melbourne is a city of suburbs, and each one searches differently.

A clinic in Richmond serves a different catchment to a practice in Footscray, and customers search with the suburb name attached. We build suburb-level SEO, local schema and dedicated location pages so you rank where your customers actually are, not just on a single citywide page.

Areas we build across

CBD Southbank Docklands Carlton Fitzroy Collingwood Richmond South Yarra St Kilda Brunswick Footscray

The CBD and inner core

The city centre sits on the Hoddle Grid, with a dense laneway economy of cafes, retail and professional services around Collins and Bourke Streets. Flinders Street and Southern Cross stations and the free City Circle tram feed constant foot traffic, so businesses here compete on a crowded first page of Google.

The inner-north creative belt

Fitzroy, Collingwood, Brunswick and Carlton form Melbourne's creative and hospitality heartland, with Brunswick Street, Smith Street and Lygon Street drawing locals and visitors. Independent practices, studios and venues here need a site that stands out, not another template.

Bayside, the inner-east and transport

St Kilda, South Yarra and Richmond sit along an extensive tram network and Metro train lines, with V/Line regional services running out to Geelong and beyond. Customers move between suburbs every day, so suburb-level pages and local schema decide who they find first.

Why Webstallion

What makes us different from other web designers for Melbourne businesses.

  • Hand-coded, not templated

    We write every line of code from scratch. No WordPress themes, no Squarespace, no Wix. Melbourne has no shortage of cheap template-based agencies. What it lacks is a studio that builds from scratch and holds a PageSpeed standard as a condition of delivery.

  • 90+ PageSpeed - guaranteed

    Every site we deliver hits 90+ on PageSpeed. Not a target - a condition of delivery. Melbourne's mobile web usage is among the highest in Australia. A slow site isn't just a bad experience - it costs you Google ranking and converts fewer visitors into customers.

  • Fixed pricing, fixed scope

    You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we start. No surprise invoices. No scope creep. No hourly billing that spirals. Lean from $799 (5 pages, about 2 weeks). Starter from $1,500. Written scope in 24 hours of your first call.

  • You own everything

    Code, domain, hosting - all yours. Nothing is locked to us. Many Melbourne web agencies lock clients into ongoing retainers or proprietary platforms. We hand over full ownership at launch - no dependency, no ongoing fees to us.

Melbourne's web design market

Why Melbourne businesses need a better website than most agencies deliver.

Australia's most competitive service market

Melbourne's professional services sector - health, legal, accounting, trades - is one of the most competitive in the country. A slow, generic website doesn't just underperform. It actively loses you business to the competitor one Google result above you.

Melbourne customers search on mobile first

The majority of local service searches in Melbourne happen on mobile. If your site loads slowly or doesn't display the key action (call, book, quote) above the fold, you lose that customer in seconds. Our 90+ PageSpeed guarantee directly addresses this.

WordPress saturation in Melbourne

The majority of Melbourne small business websites are built on WordPress with off-the-shelf themes. That means your competitors all look and load the same. A hand-coded site with a distinct design and superior performance is a genuine differentiator in the Melbourne market.

Questions

What Melbourne businesses ask us.

Are you based in Melbourne?

No - we're based in Sydney, NSW. But Melbourne is in the same time zone as Sydney (AEST), so there's no timezone gap to manage. We work with Melbourne businesses entirely remotely: Zoom for discovery and review calls, a private staging link to review your site in-progress. Remote is our standard process for all clients, not just interstate ones.

How does remote delivery work for Melbourne clients?

Exactly the same as for Sydney clients. Discovery call via Zoom, written scope within a day or two, build on a private preview link, feedback via email or video call, and a clean handover with full ownership. We've run projects this way with clients across every Australian state. The process is refined - not improvised.

What industries do you build for in Melbourne?

Dental clinics, allied health practices (physios, OTs, psychologists, NDIS providers), trades businesses, accountants, law firms, hospitality venues, and Shopify retailers. Melbourne has one of the most competitive professional services markets in Australia - we build for businesses that need to stand out, not blend in.

How much does a website cost in Melbourne?

Lean from $799 (5 pages, about 2 weeks). Starter from $1,500 (15 essential pages, 2 to 3 weeks). Growth from $2,500 (35 pages, 3 to 4 weeks). Scale from $4,500 (up to 100 pages, 4 to 5 weeks). All prices are fixed - scope and cost agreed before we start, no surprise invoices.

Is a hand-coded site worth it for a Melbourne small business?

Yes - and especially in Melbourne. The city's small business web market is flooded with cheap WordPress sites that all look and load the same. A hand-coded site with a 90+ PageSpeed score ranks higher on Google and converts more visitors because it loads faster and is built specifically around your customers' actions. Our Starter package at $1,500 is less than most Melbourne agencies charge just for a discovery phase.

How long does a Melbourne website project take?

Starter package (15 essential pages) is delivered in 2 to 3 weeks. Growth (35 pages) in 3 to 4 weeks. Scale (up to 100 pages) in 4 to 5 weeks. All timelines are fixed at proposal - Melbourne clients work with us entirely remotely via video call and private preview link, so there are no delays from travel or in-person meetings.

Do you work with Melbourne businesses in specific industries?

Yes - core industries in Melbourne include dental and medical practices, accounting firms, trades and construction, hospitality (cafes, restaurants), and professional services. Each industry has specific website requirements - HotDoc for dental, suburb service area pages for trades, client portal integration for accounting - that are built into the relevant packages.

Can you help my Melbourne business rank on Google?

Every Webstallion site is built with local SEO foundations: suburb-specific title tags, LocalBusiness schema, Google Maps embed, and a sitemap submitted to Search Console. For Melbourne specifically, this includes suburb pages (Box Hill, Frankston, Moonee Ponds, Ringwood, Geelong) to target searches like "web design Box Hill" or "dental website design Melbourne".
