Most Melbourne businesses have a site that looks fine and does nothing. We build conversion-first Next.js sites — copy written before a pixel moves, fast enough to score 99 on Lighthouse, and priced so a Brunswick café or a Richmond trades business can actually afford it.
You speak directly with the person writing the code and the copy. Nothing gets lost in a brief handed from sales to design to dev.
We quote before we start and we hold the number. Scope changes get a written add-on quote — no surprise invoices at the end.
The repo, the Vercel account, the domain, the analytics. We're a collaborator, not a custodian. Fire us and everything stays put.
Most Melbourne web shops start with a template and bolt words on at the end. We write the copy first — because copy is the product.
Same deliverables whether you're in Brunswick or Barangaroo. No Melbourne surcharge; no regional tier. See the full service spec →
We work primarily with Melbourne service businesses — trades, professional services, health, hospitality — where a better site means more qualified phone calls, not just a prettier brand page. We know the local competitive landscape: what ranks in Fitzroy differs from what ranks in Moonee Ponds. We account for that in every build.
Recent example: King Double Glazing — a glazing business in the King Street corridor. We rebranded them from The Glass Discounters (57 mobile Lighthouse, 13.1s load time) to a fully rebuilt Next.js site with an Instant Estimate calculator. Desktop Lighthouse 99. The leads that come in now have a budget number attached.
Full rebrand to Next.js 16, TinaCMS, Neon, and Tailwind v4. Multi-step Instant Estimate Tool that shows a ballpark price before the contact form. Leads arrive with a number in hand.
Read the full case study →Yes. A third of our work is interstate or international. Melbourne is where we're based, not a geographic limit. Timezone is AEST; we don't book calls after 6pm.
Usually two to four weeks from deposit to kick-off. If you're urgent, say so in the scope call — occasionally a slot opens early.
The Launch build covers up to eight pages — enough for most service businesses. If you need a booking system, customer portal, or quote calculator, that's the Growth tier. Rather than throw a number at you blind, we scope it on a 20-minute call and come back with a fixed quote — so you only pay for what you actually need.
Yes, on a case-by-case basis. Shopify is the right call when you need native commerce — inventory, fulfilment, shop pay. If you're selling three products and mostly want to look credible, Next.js with Stripe is cheaper and faster. We'll tell you which applies.
We stopped taking WordPress work in 2023 and we won't be talked back in. If you're on WordPress and want to stay, we'll refer you to someone good in Melbourne who still likes the platform. No hard feelings.
Yes — it's most of what we do. We'll audit the existing site, extract what's working (copy, structure, SEO signals), and rebuild it on a modern stack. Typically the same price as a new build, sometimes less if the content is already solid.
