Research & brand identity
Fonts, colour, and voice: the pre-production that makes everything after it feel deliberate. You review and approve before we build a thing.
Website design & development
Websites Melbourne actually remembers
Custom-designed, interactive, search-ready websites built in Melbourne with pricing you can read before you call us. Website design for Melbourne businesses that need leads, not just a pretty brochure.
What you get
Everything handled, nothing hidden
Wireframes & sitemap
The skeleton first: structure, journeys, and lead paths mapped so the design stage is about polish, not guesswork.
Interactive design
Motion, response, and moments people play with. From minimal to maximal, designed custom, never from a template.
Build & launch
Fast, accessible, search-engine-ready development. We launch without drama and hand over video tutorials so you can edit confidently.
Care & maintenance
A free first month, then optional annual care: hosting, updates, malware scans, daily backups, and content changes done for you.
Growth ready
Every build is wired for what comes next: SEO campaigns, landing pages, booking systems, or a full app when you outgrow the site.
Fit
Who this is for
Melbourne SMBs ready to own their leads
Service businesses, studios, clinics, retailers, and growing teams who are tired of renting traffic from platforms and want a site that ranks for website design Melbourne style queries: clear offer, local proof, and a phone that rings.
Teams rebuilding without losing SEO
You already have rankings or a domain with history. We redesign and rebuild with URL parity, redirects where needed, and content depth so Google keeps what you earned.
Not a fit for template flippers
If you want a same-day Wix clone with stock photos and no strategy, we are the wrong studio. Every build here is custom, staged, and priced up front.
Industries
Where we show up most
Trades and field services
Suburb pages, click-to-call, quote forms, and review proof so "plumber near me" becomes your phone, not a lead marketplace. See also our dedicated tradie website packages.
Professional services
Accountants, consultants, clinics, and agencies that need credibility, clear packages, and booking without looking like every other template in the suburb.
Retail and ecommerce
Catalogue or membership sites with secure payments via Stripe, Square, Afterpay, and more, wired the way you actually sell.
Hospitality and local brands
Menus, bookings, events, and interactive moments that match how Melbourne customers decide: fast on mobile, memorable on desktop.

Questions
Straight answers
How much does a website cost in Melbourne?
With AL Phesda Interactive, websites start at $499 + GST for up to 5 custom-designed pages, $1,299 + GST for up to 10, and $4,999 + GST for up to 25. Prices are published: no hidden quotes or brochure downloads.
How long does a website take to build?
Most 5-page websites launch in 3–5 weeks; larger builds in 6–10 weeks. The timeline is agreed up front, and you approve each stage (identity, wireframes, design, build) before we move on.
Will my website rank on Google?
Every build ships search-engine-ready: fast load times, semantic structure, schema markup, and on-page SEO. For competitive keywords like website design Melbourne we pair the build with an ongoing SEO campaign.
Do you offer website design and development, or only one?
Both. Design without development is a pretty picture; development without design is a template. We own the full path from research to launch so nothing falls between agencies.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We hand over video tutorials showing exactly how to edit your content, and if you prefer not to touch it, our care plan includes content updates done for you.
Can I take payments on the site?
Professional and Visionary packages include collecting payments securely via Stripe, Square, Afterpay, and more. We wire the flow to match how you sell.
Can you redesign my site without losing rankings?
Yes. We inventory your URLs, preserve content depth on money pages, map redirects where structure must change, and monitor Search Console after launch. URL stability is non-negotiable on our own site and yours.
Do you build WordPress sites or custom stacks?
We pick the stack that fits the job: modern custom builds for interactive and app-adjacent work, and proven CMS setups when your team needs familiar editing. The brief and the SEO goals decide, not fashion.
Do you only work with Melbourne clients?
We are Melbourne based and meet across the northern and south-east suburbs in person. We also deliver remotely across Australia and worldwide with the same packages and process.
What is included in the free Discovery Session?
A focused working session covering goals, competitors, sitemap sketch, rough timeline, and exact package fit. The plan is yours whether or not you build with us.
