Sydney’s Trusted Website Design Agency for Growing Brands

Web design and web development are two distinct but closely related parts of the website-building process and it’s imperative you have a team which deeply understands the core of each.

Web design is the creative stage, where designers use tools like Figma to establish the layout, colours, typography, and overall user journey in creating an intuitive and beautiful web experience (UI/UX). Web design encapsulates your brand, messaging, user journey and more.

Web development is the technical stage, where developers will take the designs and bring them to life as a working website through coding languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, adding functionality and integrations to create a fully working website

WordPress is the most popular platform, with over 472 million websites created so far. It allows businesses to develop secure, high-performing websites with extensive functionality through a wide range of plugins. Businesses can also build online stores using the WooCommerce plugin, making it suitable for a variety of needs. WordPress is a great choice because its easy to use backend interface for admin management.

A simple 5-10 page website built using WordPress CMS typically takes around 8-10 weeks. While a standard eCommerce website may take 8-12 weeks. This is from the workshop stage all the way through to launch.

The accurate timeline for building a website depends on its type, CMS, features and functionalities, as well as integration requirements. We always provide the exact duration before we start the project a part of our proposal document.

The average cost of a website ranges from $8,000 to $50,000, depending on factors, including the type of website, the number of pages, the complexity of UI/UX design, integrations, hosting, SEO and data migration.

A custom website is built specifically for your brand, incorporating a UI/UX process that considers your audience and business goals. In contrast, template-based websites are pre-designed and reused across multiple organisations, with only minor changes to colours, text, and images, which makes them less unique. You can think of a custom site as a tailored architectured house, while a template is a project home design.
