Web design in Thornbury
Thornbury runs on independents — the cafés, bars, studios and salons along High Street and St Georges Road, and the trades and consultants working from the streets in between. Around here there is no shortage of choice, so the business that looks credible online wins the booking. We build fast WordPress and WooCommerce sites from our studio in Mernda, in Melbourne’s north. One-page sites start at $1,699 + GST. Multi-page sites run $2,490 to $3,490 + GST.
Fixed price agreed before we start. You own the domain, the hosting and the site.

What a Thornbury business website needs
Inner north customers compare three or four options before they call anyone. These are the things that decide whose number gets tapped.
Tap-to-call on every screen
Someone comparing barbers from the 86 tram is not filling in a form. The number stays stuck to the screen so calling you takes one tap.
A page for every service
One page listing everything you do will not rank. A page per service is what gets you found for the exact thing someone typed into Google.
Real photos, not stock
Your fit-out, your team, your work. Thornbury locals can spot a stock photo a mile away — real photos are what make them trust you.
A Google Business Profile that matches
Same business name, address and phone on your site and in Google Maps. Mismatched details are the most common reason a local listing quietly underperforms.
Fast on a phone
A slow site loses inner north customers before it even loads. We build light pages and host on Australian servers so yours opens instantly.
Enquiries straight to your inbox
No portal, no login, no app to remember. The enquiry lands in the email address you already check, and you reply from your phone.
