How a Melbourne project runs
The process matches our custom software development services for clients anywhere in Australia. Our guide to what custom software costs to build sets out market rates. For a company website rather than software, see web design in Melbourne. If you are still comparing companies, read our guide on how to choose a custom software development company.
Scoping
We map the process and everyone who touches it.

Data model, permissions, integrations and delivery phases agreed in writing before build starts.

The part that saves the most time ships first, so your team uses it while the rest is built.

Working with Melbourne businesses
GetQuickSites Pty Ltd is a registered Melbourne business. Briefs, reviews and sign-offs run by email and scheduled calls, so a project does not depend on anyone being in the same room. We work with businesses elsewhere in Australia the same way.
Calls and support run in Melbourne business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm AEST. The scope, the price and the order in which parts of the software ship are agreed in writing before the build starts, and any change after that is priced before work on it begins.
Software we build for Melbourne businesses
The software follows the business. These are the kinds of systems different types of business usually ask us to scope:
- Trades and field services: job boards, quoting and scheduling tools, and a phone screen for staff on site.
- Clinics and allied health practices: intake forms, booking rules and internal records that work alongside the practice software already in use.
- Professional services firms: client portals for documents and requests, project tracking, and time and billing reports.
- Retail and hospitality groups: rosters, stock and supplier tools, and reporting across several stores or venues.
- Manufacturers and wholesalers: order intake, production tracking and dispatch tools connected to the accounting system.
If your business is not on the list, the starting point is the same: the process your team runs today and the spreadsheets it depends on. If the tool your staff or customers need is a phone app, see mobile app developers in Melbourne. If an existing product might already do the job, our guide to choosing between custom software and an off-the-shelf product sets out the costs to compare first.
Questions to ask a Melbourne software developer
Before you hire a developer in Melbourne or anywhere else, ask:
- Will the scope, price and delivery phases be agreed in writing before the build starts?
- Who will build the software, and who do I talk to while it is being built?
- Which part ships first, and when can my team start using it?
- How are changes priced once the scope is agreed?
- What do I own at handover, and which accounts will be in my business's name?
- What does support cost after launch, and in which hours is it available?
Our answers are on the how it works and ownership and handover pages. The guide to choosing a software development company explains what a good answer to each question looks like.
Frequently asked
Who builds custom software in Melbourne?
GetQuickSites is a Melbourne software and web development studio that builds custom software for Melbourne businesses: internal tools, operations dashboards, client and staff portals, reporting systems and workflow software. GetQuickSites Pty Ltd is a registered Melbourne business. Each project is scoped in writing before the build starts, and the code made for your project is yours at handover.
What does custom software development in Melbourne involve?
It starts with a scoping session where we map the process the software has to support, who uses it and which systems it connects to. We then agree the scope in writing, build in phases so the most useful part is in use first, and hand over the code when the work is complete.
Can the software connect to systems we already use?
Usually. We check what your current tools expose, such as data, interfaces and permissions, and build the integration around that. Accounting, CRM and booking platforms are the common ones. Where an API is missing or unreliable, we say so during scoping.
What hours does the team work?
Calls, reviews and support run in AEST business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?
Yes. We are a Melbourne software and web development studio and build custom software for businesses across Australia. Briefs, reviews and sign-offs run by email and scheduled calls, so the process is the same wherever your team is based. Calls and support run on Melbourne business hours (AEST).
Who owns the software you build?
You do. The code, the data and the accounts transfer to you at handover, under our terms.
How long does a custom software project take?
The timeline is set in writing for each project before the build starts. It depends on the number of user roles, the systems the software connects to and how quickly decisions and access are provided. Software is delivered in phases, so your team starts using the first part before the rest is finished.
How much does custom software cost in Melbourne?
The price follows the scope: user roles, the systems it connects to, any data moved from an old system, and support after launch. We quote each project against its written scope after a free consultation, so there is no standard price. Our guide to app and software costs explains each cost driver and gives sourced market rates for Australia.
What should we prepare before scoping custom software?
Bring a description of the process the software should support, the people who use it and what each of them does, the spreadsheets and systems involved, and the part that costs your team the most time. Examples of current forms, reports or exports help. Wireframes and technical specifications are not needed; the written scope is produced from this.
