Web Design Melbourne
Website design and web development in Melbourne, quoted against a written scope.
GetQuickSites is a Melbourne software and web development studio offering web design and development to Melbourne businesses. Standard websites go live in 48 hours once we have your content and access. Larger builds, such as web applications, online stores and migrations, are scoped and scheduled in writing, and every project is quoted against a written scope.
What's included

Web development in Melbourne
Some projects need more than pages and a contact form. We also do the development work behind a website, for Melbourne businesses and for businesses elsewhere in Australia:
- Content management: a custom CMS when your team publishes often or needs content shared across several sites.
- Integrations: connecting the site to your booking, CRM, accounting or email systems, so enquiries and orders arrive where your team works.
- Web applications: client portals, booking systems and internal tools where people sign in and do things.
- Online stores: ecommerce development on Shopify or a custom build.
- Migrations: moving an existing site off WordPress, Wix or Squarespace, with every old URL redirected to its new page.
The 48-hour timeline applies to standard websites only. Development work like this is scoped and scheduled in writing before the build starts.
How to compare web design quotes
Quotes for the same website can differ widely, because each provider may be pricing a different amount of work. Before you compare prices, check that each quote lists:
- The pages and features included, and what counts as a change.
- Who writes the content and who supplies the images.
- What your team will be able to edit after launch.
- Whose name the domain, hosting and other accounts will be in.
- What maintenance and support cost after launch.
Our guide to what a website costs in Australia explains what drives the price, and the WordPress vs custom and Wix vs custom comparisons cover the choice of platform.
Frequently asked
How is the price of a website worked out?
We do not publish prices, because page count, features, integrations and content readiness all change the work involved. Each website is quoted after a free consultation against a written scope, which is what you should expect from any web design company in Melbourne.
How long does a website take to build?
Standard websites go live in 48 hours once we have your content, brand assets and access, counted in business hours across business days. Larger sites, custom features and content migrations are scheduled in the scope before the build starts.
Who owns the website when it is finished?
Ownership of the code, design and content we produce for your site transfers to you at handover. Reusable tools and components we use across projects stay ours, and you get a perpetual licence to use them in your site.
Do you build online stores?
Yes. We build online stores as well as websites: storefronts designed around your catalogue, with fast pages and controls your team can use. Stores can connect to your accounting, shipping and inventory systems, and our e-commerce development page covers that work. Stores on Shopify are covered on our Shopify development page.
How do I choose a web designer in Melbourne?
Whichever web design agency in Melbourne you are considering, ask for a written scope and a quote against it. Check that the contract says who owns the code, design and content at handover, and whose name the domain and hosting are in. Be wary of anyone who guarantees rankings, because search engines decide those.
When does a business need a web application instead of a website?
A website presents information to visitors. If you need client logins, member areas, internal dashboards or workflow tools, you are describing a web application, which we scope and quote separately.
Do you do web development as well as web design?
Yes. Alongside website design we build custom content management systems, integrations with booking, CRM and accounting systems, web applications, online stores and site migrations. Standard websites go live in 48 hours once we have your content and access; development work is scoped and scheduled in writing before the build starts.
What is the difference between web design and web development?
Web design covers how a site looks and how people move through it: layout, typography, colour and the structure of each page. Web development is the work that makes it run: the code, the content management system, forms, integrations and anything people sign in to use. A website project includes both, and larger builds are mostly development.
Can you work on an existing website?
Yes. We redesign and rebuild existing sites, move them off platforms such as WordPress, Wix and Squarespace, and connect them to other systems. When a rebuild changes URLs, every old address is redirected to its new page. Each piece of work is scoped and quoted in writing first, and our website redesign page explains how a rebuild runs.
