Web design + SEO

A new website and a search strategy in one plan. Built to be found from the first page rather than optimised as an afterthought once the site is already live.

Julian was great to work with and smashed the website out of the park. Clean design, smooth process and excellent value.

Why together

Why small businesses need design and SEO together.

When one team handles both, the site is structured for search from the very first page, and there is a single point of accountability. That avoids the most common and most expensive problem in small business web projects: a beautiful site that nobody can find.

Retrofitting SEO onto a finished site always costs more than building it in. Structure, page hierarchy, internal linking and speed are decisions made during the build, and changing them afterwards means paying twice.

Small business website and Google listing reviewed on a tablet
1

Both handled in house

Design, build and SEO by the same Sydney team, so nothing gets lost between two suppliers blaming each other.

2

Fast, mobile first builds

Most small business traffic arrives on a phone, so that is what we design and test for first.

3

Priced to your goals

Each engagement is priced individually against your goals and budget, so you only pay for what genuinely helps.

4

Genuine small business track record

Rated 5.0 from over 100 Google reviews by the small businesses we design, build and rank for.

What is included

What is included in web design + SEO.

One plan covering the build and the search work, rather than two invoices from two suppliers with two versions of the truth.

01 01 Custom website design icon

A custom designed website

Designed around your business and customers, fast on mobile, and built so you can update it yourself after handover.

02 02 Keyword research icon

Keyword and competitor research

We find what your customers actually search and what your competitors already rank for, before a single page is designed.

03 03 Website structure built to rank icon

A structure built to rank

Sitemap, page hierarchy and internal linking planned around search demand rather than around your org chart.

04 04 Google Business Profile icon

Google Business Profile setup

Often the fastest source of early enquiries for a small business, optimised alongside the site rather than ignored.

05 05 On page SEO from day one icon

On page SEO from day one

Titles, headings, metadata and schema written as the pages are built, not bolted on months later as a paid extra.

06 06 Small business SEO analytics icon

Analytics you can act on

Search Console and Analytics set up properly, in plain English, so you can see what the investment is doing.

Our process

Design and search, planned as one job.

The search work starts before the design does, which is the whole point of buying them together.

01

Research first

Keyword and competitor research before design, so we know which pages need to exist and what each one has to rank for.

02

Structure and sitemap

A sitemap built around search demand, giving every service and area a page with a genuine job to do.

03

Design the pages

Custom design applied to that structure, so the pages that matter for search are also the pages that convert.

04

Build and optimise

Fast, mobile first build with on page SEO, schema and speed handled during development rather than afterwards.

05

Launch and profile

We launch the site and optimise your Google Business Profile at the same time, since that often produces the earliest enquiries.

06

Grow from there

Ongoing SEO, content and improvements, so the site keeps gaining ground instead of standing still.

The comparison

Design alone vs design and SEO together.

The difference is not what the site looks like on launch day. It is what happens in the six months afterwards.

Under the hood

Why one team makes the difference.

The detail behind combining the two, and why splitting them across suppliers costs small businesses the most.

Structure is a design decision and an SEO decision

How many pages you have, what each one covers and how they link together determines both how people navigate and how search engines understand your business. Those are the same decisions, made once.

When a designer makes them without search input, you usually end up with too few pages, each trying to rank for too much.

Speed cannot be added later

Performance comes from how a site is built: the theme, the plugins, the imagery and the code. An SEO consultant handed a slow site can only recommend fixes someone else has to implement.

Because we build and optimise, we simply make the change. That shortens the loop from months to days.

Content that converts and ranks

Pages written purely for search read like they were written for a machine, and pages written purely for persuasion often miss the terms people search. Both problems cost you enquiries.

We write for the customer first and work the search terms in naturally, so a page can do both jobs without feeling like a compromise.

One point of accountability

When the site and the search work sit with two suppliers, poor results turn into an argument. The developer says the SEO is weak, the SEO says the site is slow, and nothing improves.

With one team there is nowhere for that to hide. We are accountable for whether the site looks right and whether it actually brings you work.

Straight answers

Web design and SEO questions, answered.

What small business owners ask us before combining the two.

Should I get web design and SEO from the same company?

Usually yes. When one team handles both, the site is structured for search from the first page and there is a single point of accountability, which avoids the common problem of a beautiful site that no one can find.

How much does web design and SEO for a small business cost?

We price each engagement individually based on your goals and budget, so you only pay for what genuinely helps. The easiest way to get an accurate figure is to request a free, no obligation quote.

How long until I see results from SEO?

Most small businesses see meaningful movement within a few months, with the earliest gains from Google Business Profile and on page work. SEO compounds, so the visibility you build tends to be durable.

What should I look for in a designer who also does SEO?

Look for a team that handles both in house, has genuine small business experience and reviews, builds fast mobile first sites, and bakes SEO in from the start rather than adding it later.

Do I need a new website, or can you optimise mine?

If the foundations are sound we will improve what you have rather than sell you a rebuild. If the site is slow, badly structured or impossible to edit, we will tell you honestly that optimising around it is poor value.

Am I locked into an ongoing contract?

No. We do not lock clients into contracts. We ask for 30 days notice if you ever want to move on, and we hand over everything because you own it.
