Web design, Melbourne. Built for bookings and sales.
Need web design in Melbourne that brings in bookings, orders and enquiries? We design and build websites for Melbourne cafes, restaurants, brands and service businesses. UX and SEO are considered just as important as the design.
Recent builds include Cedar Street Cafe's website and BookingElf, our own table booking platform. Every site is fast on mobile and easy for your team to update. It is tracked, so you can see what it brings in. Pricing is in AUD.
Website design for Melbourne small businesses
A small business website has three jobs. It must be found by locals, load fast on a phone and make booking, buying or enquiring easy. Google uses the mobile version of a site for indexing and ranking, so we design for phones first. Every page sits one tap from the next step: book, order, call or enquire.
How we build
Grant Harrison designs and builds each site, with your input at every stage. Five steps, planned around how your business trades.
- 01
Plan
We start with what you sell, when you're busiest and what customers need to do on the site. Then we plan pages for menus, bookings, products or services.
- 02
Design
We design for phones first, with opening hours, location and the booking button easy to find. You review real pages before we build.
- 03
Build
We build on WordPress, Shopify or a fast custom site, depending on who will update it.
- 04
SEO and tracking
Page titles, structured data, a sitemap, Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 are in place before launch. Booking clicks, calls and enquiries are tracked from day one.
- 05
Launch and measure
We launch, link the site to your Google Business Profile and check it is indexed. Then your reports show where new customers come from.
Sites for cafes, restaurants and shops
Cafes and restaurants change menus often, so we build menus your staff can update themselves. Your Google Business Profile can carry menu and reservation links, and we point them at your site. For shops, we build Shopify ecommerce stores structured to promote conversions.
How we work with Melbourne clients
We work as a hybrid office, so most meetings run on video at times that suit your trading hours. We provide handovers for web devs or train team members on how to make simple updates. You own the site, the domain and every account. If you'd rather not deal with the technical side, we can manage your domain name, web hosting and business email too. We can also make site updates as you need them, or on a fixed monthly retainer.

Questions
How much does a website cost in Melbourne?
Our websites start from A$1,900 for a small business site. The final price depends on your pages and features such as online bookings, menus or a Shopify store. After a short call, you get a fixed quote with no surprises.
How long does a website take to build?
It depends on the number of pages and features such as bookings, menus or a store. Your quote includes a launch date, and sending menus, photos and product details early is the quickest way to get there.
Can you add online bookings or a menu to my site?
Yes. We link your existing booking system or add a booking button. We also build a menu page your staff can edit. A digital menu is a menu page on your website that staff update, so prices and specials stay current. Restaurants can also list menu items on their Google Business Profile.
Do you build Shopify stores?
Yes. As a Shopify Partner, we build Shopify stores for shops and brands that sell online, with products, payments and shipping set up. We also set up Google Analytics 4 purchase tracking, so you see which channels bring in sales.
Can my team update the site after launch?
Yes. We set the site up so staff can change menus, specials, pages and products without a developer. Before handover, we train your team on the tasks they'll do most. For bigger changes, such as a new menu layout, online ordering or extra pages, we're on hand for web development support.
