Melbourne Web Design
Affordable web design for small businesses, sole traders, and people who just want a good website.
About
(My name isn't actually George. Long story. Anyway - websites.)
I've been working in the creative industry for over 10 years, and designing websites for most of that. I build clean ones. Ones that load fast, look professional, and actually say what you do.
You don't need an agency. You don't need a "digital ecosystem." You need a website that works and someone who'll answer your messages.
That's me. That's this. Let's go.
What You Get
Most web designers love to upsell. Not here. Webmaster George is one honest package with everything a small business actually needs to get online and look the part.
A polished, one-page scrolling site: your hero, your services, your story, your contact details. Designed to look good on phones, tablets, and computers. No cookie-cutter templates.
Don't know what to say about yourself? Send me your socials, your ABN, and a voice note if you're feeling brave. I'll handle the words. And if you need photography or creative production to go with it, our friends at Alegre Visual have you covered. We made their website, so we can vouch for them.
A private app that comes with every website. See your site before it goes live, make changes to text and photos yourself, and keep editing for a full 12 months after launch. More on how it works.
Your business changes. Your website should too. For a full year after launch, send through your updates and I'll push them live. No charge.
No surprise monthly fees. Your only ongoing cost is your domain renewal, usually around $20/year.
The Sandbox
Every Webmaster George site comes with access to the Sandbox: a private, password-protected version of your website where you can make changes yourself.
Swap out a photo. Update your hours. Rewrite your about blurb at 11pm because you finally found the words. When you're happy, just let me know and I'll push the changes live.
No waiting on a developer. No support tickets. No "we'll get to it next sprint." Just you, your site, and a simple editing tool that actually makes sense.
The Sandbox stays active for 12 months after your site launches.
Click on any paragraph, heading, or button label and type. What you see is what goes live.
Upload a new image straight from your phone or desktop. No file renaming, no FTP, no drama.
Nothing goes live until you say so. Share the Sandbox link with your team, your partner, your mum. Get sign-off, then publish.
Sandbox access is included for a full year. After that, we can talk about what makes sense for your business.
Pricing
No monthly retainers. No hidden fees. No "maintenance plans." One payment, one great website, done.
Domain renewal (~$20/year) is the only ongoing cost and that's yours to manage directly.
Let's talkProcess
Services, photos, a paragraph about yourself whatever you've got. I'll work with it. Got a website you love the look of? Chuck that in too even if it's completely unrelated to your industry, it helps.
You'll get a static preview to look over before anything goes live.
I'll send you a private sandbox link. Read everything, request changes, sleep on it. When you're happy, we go live.
I'll point it to your domain and hand over the keys. From there, any copy updates for the next 12 months are just an update away.

Before we put anything together, we'll take a look at what others in your space are doing what's working, what's tired, and where you can stand out.
