Web design ยท Perth & Australia
Custom-coded, fast and built to convert. Web design and development from a Perth-based team working across Australia that built this site the same way, with no page builder in sight.
Your website is where leads land, where buyers decide and where your paid traffic arrives, so it deserves engineering rather than assembly. This suits brands replacing a tired build, businesses outgrowing a DIY template, and marketing teams who need a site fast enough to rank and structured enough to edit without a developer on standby.
Every build covers strategy and information architecture, design on a living styleguide, hand-coded WordPress or headless development, and analytics wired from day one. Goals, audiences and the conversion actions that matter are mapped before a pixel is drawn, because pretty sites that do not convert are just expensive art.
Hard limits on page weight, scripts and requests, checked at build time rather than hoped for at the end. We target Lighthouse scores in the high nineties and Core Web Vitals in the green, because Google ranks on them and buyers leave a slow page before it finishes loading. Accessibility to WCAG 2.1 AA is built in, not retrofitted.
Builders like Elementor and Divi ship large amounts of CSS and JavaScript on every page whether you use it or not. A typical builder page often runs well over 900 KB and seventy-plus requests, where a custom page does the same job under 500 KB. That weight drags down load time and Core Web Vitals, and makes every site look like its neighbours.
Structured content sections your marketing team can rearrange, duplicate and publish without fear or a developer. No raw HTML, no builder spaghetti that breaks when someone moves a column. You review on real phones and laptops, so what you sign off is what goes live, with no nasty surprises in the build.
Engineered, not assembled
Three things that separate a site we build from a template someone configured.
Hard limits on page weight, requests and scripts, enforced at build time and checked before launch. High-nineties Lighthouse scores and green Core Web Vitals are the target we hold ourselves to, not a lucky outcome we hope for.
A living styleguide from week one, reviewed on actual phones and laptops, not flat mockups that hide how the site moves. What you sign off is what goes live, with no nasty surprises in the build.

How a build runs
Goals, sitemap, content plan and design-system foundations agreed. We pin down what the site has to achieve and how every template earns its place before any design starts.
Styleguide and key templates designed in the browser and iterated with you on real devices. Colour, type, components and layout locked as a working system, not a static picture.
Templates, content sections, integrations and tracking hand-coded and shipped to staging weekly. You watch it come together and feed back as it builds, rather than waiting for a big reveal.
Redirects mapped, SEO preserved, accessibility and performance verified, monitoring switched on. Then we measure against the goals and keep improving, because launch is the start of the work, not the end.
FAQ
It depends on scope, and any agency that quotes a single number before understanding your site is guessing. For context, template and page-builder builds around Perth start near $3,000 to $4,000, while a genuinely custom-coded marketing site is a larger investment because it is engineered rather than assembled. We run a short discovery, then quote a fixed price against a clear scope. No pricing table pretending every business is the same.
A typical custom marketing site runs around eight to ten weeks from kickoff to launch, covering discovery, design, build and a careful cutover. Bigger sites with more templates and integrations take longer. We ship to staging weekly so progress is visible the whole way, never a black box.
Usually custom WordPress for marketing sites: your team already knows the editor, and it stays fast when built properly rather than stuffed with plugins. For specific cases we build headless or other stacks. We advise on the platform from your needs, not from what we feel like building.
Weight, fragility and sameness. Builders add large amounts of CSS and JavaScript to every page, which drags down load time and Core Web Vitals, and they make every site look like its neighbours. Custom sections give your editors the same freedom without the bloat. Performance is a feature, and builders quietly tax it.
Yes. A full crawl, a complete redirect map and URL-parity checks are part of every launch, so existing rankings carry across and nothing 404s. Rebuilds that tank traffic happen when redirects are an afterthought. For us they are a launch gate.
Every build is mobile-first and built to WCAG 2.1 AA: proper contrast, keyboard navigation, semantic markup and screen-reader support. Most of your visitors are on a phone, and accessibility is both the right call and increasingly a legal expectation.
Yes. We extend what works into a proper digital design system rather than scrapping a brand you have invested in for the sake of a fresh coat of paint. If the brand genuinely needs work, we will say so plainly.
Yes. Updates, security, monitoring, performance and iterative improvements run under a care plan, so the site stays fast and current instead of slowly rotting until the next expensive rebuild.
