Web design in Melbourne: custom websites for small businesses
We design and develop custom websites for Melbourne small businesses, from a basic one-page site to multi-page websites with bookings or ordering. Basic one-page websites for individuals and sole traders start from A$300; larger websites, apps and business tools are quoted in writing. Meet us in Melbourne or work with us online, in English or Chinese.
Who this is for
- Melbourne sole traders and small businesses that need a clear website explaining their services, prices and contact options.
- Owners who serve both English- and Chinese-speaking customers and want a bilingual website rather than a translated copy.
- Businesses planning a Xiaohongshu (RedNote) campaign in Melbourne that also need a website for the people who look them up.
The scope
The basic one-page scope
- One scrollable page with up to six content sections. Agree the sections around the information your customers need before design starts.
- Layouts for phones, tablets and computers, so the same business information remains readable at each screen size.
- Contact options: an enquiry form, or phone, email or WeChat buttons, selected around how you want customers to reach you.
- Basic search settings: a page title, description and sharing image. These explain the page without promising a search position.
- Launch on a domain and hosting account in your name. Account access and handover arrangements are agreed with you.
- One round of revisions within the agreed scope. Bring the requested changes together so the review can address them clearly.
Quoted separately
- Domain registration and hosting fees are separate from the website build.
- Copywriting and photography are not included in the basic scope; agree who prepares the text and images.
- A second language is a separate scope, including the matching pages and their content.
- Booking or payment connections are additional work; third-party platform fees are explained beforehand.
- Long-term maintenance is not part of the basic build and needs an agreed arrangement or separate quote.
Meet in Melbourne, or work online
If you'd prefer to talk face to face, we can arrange a meeting in Melbourne to discuss your business, the pages you need and the materials you already have. Many projects can also run entirely online, by email and scheduled video calls. Either way, you talk directly with the people who design and develop your website, in English or Chinese.
Meetings are arranged in Melbourne time. You review layouts and working previews at agreed milestones, so you can see the website take shape before it launches.
English and Chinese websites in Melbourne
When your customers read English or Chinese, we write each language for its readers instead of translating word for word. Services, prices and contact details stay consistent across both versions.
A bilingual website is scoped separately from the basic one-page price. We agree which pages need both languages and who keeps each version up to date.
A website and a Xiaohongshu campaign together
Our Xiaohongshu creator campaigns currently focus on Melbourne. If you are planning one, the website gives people who see the campaign a clear place to check your services, location and how to get in touch.
Campaign work is scoped separately from the website. Creators, scheduling and fees are confirmed after we discuss your brief.

A written scope before a price
- 01
Basic one-page websites for individuals and sole traders start from A$300. Larger websites, apps and business tools are quoted in writing after a short conversation, before any work starts. Extra pages, languages, content preparation and connections change the work involved; we explain deliverables, payment stages and ongoing costs before you commit.
