What's included in the fixed scope?

Discovery, design, build, copy support, SEO foundations, analytics, hosting setup, and handover training. The detailed inclusions list is in your proposal.

Can I migrate from WordPress / Wix / Squarespace?

Yes. Content migration is part of the standard scope for sites up to 30 pages.

What if I need more work after launch?

We offer a post-launch retainer, but most clients self-maintain. There's no lock-in either way.

Do you use a particular CMS?

Next.js + a headless CMS (Sanity, Payload) for anything content-heavy. For smaller sites, we use MDX and a simple deploy workflow.

What's the typical turnaround?

Most engagements ship in 4–8 weeks from kickoff. A simple 5-page site is on the faster end; a multi-industry local-SEO rollout at the slower end.

How does the money-back guarantee work?

If you're not happy with the delivered site within the first 14 days of handover, we refund 100% of fees paid. We've used the clause twice in six years.

Intro

Melbourne's design standard means a mediocre build reads as a mediocre business. A Melbourne web design engagement that ships well looks like Melbourne — quiet type, restrained motion, considered grid — and performs like a product, not a brochure.

Answers, not a sales pitch

Q01How much does a web design website cost in Melbourne?

Most web design services in Melbourne land between $999 and $2,500 on a fixed-scope build. A speed-only refresh starts at $499; a flagship multi-page site with advanced booking and SEO goes up to $4,500. No retainer after launch — you own the site.

Q02Why isn't my current web design site ranking in Melbourne?

Usually three reasons: (1) the site loads too slowly to compete (mobile LCP > 4s); (2) the Google Business Profile isn't wired into the site; (3) the content answers the practice's questions, not the customer's. We rebuild on all three axes simultaneously — that's what shifts rankings in 30–90 days.

Q03Can you integrate my existing booking / practice-management system?

Yes, in almost every case. We've worked with the common AU platforms used by web design services — and we build the booking surface inside your brand, not a third-party iframe, so it converts better.

Q04How is web design services in Melbourne different from anywhere else?

Melbourne buyers are design-literate, from inner-city clinics to north-west service businesses. A site that looks average reads as average. We tune copy, imagery, and local pages to that reality — generic national templates underperform here because buyers recognise them instantly.

Performance evidence

What Core Web Vitals targets does WebX build against?

Every rebuild is scoped against measurable performance, accessibility, and crawlability outcomes rather than vague quality claims.

Core Web Vitals implementation targets
Metric	Benchmark	Implementation
Mobile Lighthouse acceptance floor	90+	Next.js app routes, image sizing, lazy client islands
Target LCP on service pages	< 2.5s	Static rendering, prioritized hero assets, deferred scripts
Target CLS	< 0.1	Stable media dimensions and no layout-shifting embeds
Target INP	< 200ms	Dynamic imports for non-critical interactions
