CUSTOM WEBSITE PROJECTS

If your business needs something a little more specific, a custom website might be the way to go. I design & build fully tailored Squarespace & Shopify sites that work the way you want, and are completely aligned to your unique branding.

We can start a brand new website or give your existing one a proper refresh!

CUSTOM WEBSITES ON SQUARESPACE & SHOPIFY

My custom websites are built on Squarespace for service based businesses, and Shopify for ecommerce brands.

Each site is created to reflect your brand, speak to your audience, and encourage users to convert. My particular style leans more on the ‘minimal and clean’ side as I like to keep sites purposeful & easy to navigate.

Most custom website projects take 4 – 8 weeks, depending on their scope and how quickly we move through revisions.

Kick off your website project by booking a Discovery Call. From there, I’ll create your website scope and present final pricing.

design & build

Your website will be designed as an interactive mockup. Once you’re happy with the final look, we’ll move into build and domain connection.

Your new website will be launched and avaliable on Google. You’ll also have a fourteen day warranty period for any issues.

YOUR CUSTOM WEBSITE INCLUSIONS

As part of your website project, you'll receive a complete end to end service. Below are the core inclusions that come standard with every Squarespace and Shopify project.

  • A relaxed video chat to meet and get to know each other. I’ll ask a few questions to learn more about your business.

    No pressure, just a casual convo to get things started.

  • A clear document outlining exactly what’s included in your project, along with the final price. So you know exactly what you’re getting, and where your investment is going.

  • Your website design is shared as a clickable mockup with a video explaining my thinking!

    You can explore the layout, test buttons, and get a real feel for how it will all look and work before we build anything.

  • You’ll have two rounds of feedback to make changes and tweaks!

  • Once the design is approved, I’ll bring your site to life in either Squarespace or Shopify. This includes custom CSS tweaks where needed to make sure everything looks and works just right.

  • Your website will be set up with the SEO fundamentals covered, including heading structure (H tags), alt text for images, and SEO titles and meta descriptions optimised with your key words.

  • I’ll connect your domain to your new website, making sure everything is pointing to the right place and ready to go live.

  • You’ll receive a custom video walkthrough of your website backend, showing you how to update key content and manage your site.

  • I’ll take care of pushing your website live, then support you with a 14 day post launch period where any bugs or glitches are fixed free of charge.

    After that, you’ll receive a Post Implementation Certificate to wrap things up.

CUSTOM WEBSITE PRICING

The cost of your website project will depend on the scope and complexity of your needs.

My custom projects typically start from $3,500 AUD depending on the platform, customisations, and any additional features required.

Once I have a better understanding of your vision, I’ll provide a detailed quote tailored to your project, so you know exactly what to expect before committing. Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to chat more about custom options.

If that pricing isn’t quite what you had in mind, our Five Day Website solution could be a more budget friendly option for you.
