Website Designer $995

Hire a Website Designer Who Builds Your Site Around Your Business

Finding the right website designer is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your business. At Diverse Website Design, every project is handled by an experienced designer who takes the time to understand your business before a single page is built — not a template picked off a shelf and relabelled with your logo.

 

Since 2013, our website designers have built 8,000+ websites for Australian businesses, from local trades to national brands. Every site is designed from scratch, mobile-responsive, and priced from $995.

What a Website Designer Actually Does

A website designer is responsible for more than how your site looks. The role covers:

 

  • Planning your site’s structure and navigation so visitors (and Google) can find what they need
  • Designing layouts, colour schemes and imagery that match your brand
  • Writing or structuring content so pages load fast and read clearly
  • Building in contact forms, booking tools, or online stores where needed
  • Making sure the finished site works properly on phones, tablets and desktops
  • Setting up the basics of on-page SEO so your site has a fair shot at ranking

 

Some of these tasks are handled by developers rather than designers on larger projects, but at Diverse Website Design one team looks after design, build and setup, so nothing gets lost between handovers.

What Our Website Designers Can Build

We also design industry-specific websites, including car dealership websites, sporting club websites, author websites, Airbnb and holiday rental websites, laundromat websites, mobile phone repair websites, fruit and vegetable store websites and escort agency websites. Running ads or email campaigns? Our landing page design service builds single, focused pages that turn clicks into enquiries.

If budget is the main thing holding you back, our cheap website design option covers the essentials without the extras — worth a look before you decide on a package.

How Our Website Design Process Works

  1. Brief and consultation — you tell us about your business, your competitors, and what you want the site to achieve.
  2. Design (2 days) — we put together a custom layout for your approval before any building starts.
  3. Build (7–10 days) — once you’re happy with the design, we build the full site, including your content and images.
  4. Review and launch — you check the finished site, request any changes, and we go live.

 

Larger or more custom builds can take longer, and we’ll always give you a clear timeframe before starting.

Website Designer, Web Developer or Agency: Which Do You Need?

The terms overlap, and the right choice depends on what you need built.

  • A website designer plans the structure, look and user experience of your site, so visitors can find what they need and take the next step.
  • A web developer writes the code behind more complex features, such as custom integrations, booking systems or bespoke functionality.
  • A web design company brings design, build, content and SEO setup together under one team.

A freelancer can suit a very small, simple project, but you are relying on one person for everything, including support after launch. For most small businesses, a team that covers the whole job is the safer option. That is how we work: one team handles design, build and setup from start to finish. You can see everything included in our website design services.

How to Choose a Website Designer

Before you hire anyone, check these five things:

  1. Real work. Ask for live examples of sites they have built, ideally in your industry.
  2. Verified reviews. Look for reviews on independent platforms such as Google, not just testimonials on their own site.
  3. What is included. Ask whether the price covers design, build, content, SEO setup, contact forms and a content management system.
  4. Ownership. Confirm you will own the finished website and can host it wherever you like.
  5. Timeframe and contact. Get a clear delivery timeframe and find out who you will be dealing with.

Common Questions About Hiring a Website Designer

Our packages start at $995 and include a custom-designed, mobile-responsive website with built-in contact forms, business email, social media integration, a blog, and a content management system so you can log in and make changes yourself.

Design takes around 2 days. Once you approve the design, the build takes 7–10 days, after which we add your content and images so you can see the finished site before it goes live. Requested changes can extend this timeframe.

Yes. eCommerce sites start at $1,495 and include the first 10 products uploaded for you. After that, you can add unlimited products yourself at no extra cost.

Yes. You’ll have full access to log in and change content, images and pages at any time — no coding needed. We provide a step-by-step guide, and our team is available if you get stuck.

Every site we design is fully responsive, meaning it automatically adjusts to phones, tablets and desktops, and continues to work as new devices and browsers are released.

Yes, completely. You’re free to host it with any provider you choose — we don’t lock you into a proprietary platform.

Yes. We can redesign your existing site while keeping the same domain, email addresses and content, or make smaller edits and tweaks if you’re happy with the overall design. Let us know what’s needed and we’ll come back with a timeframe and quote.

A website designer focuses on how your site is structured and how it looks and feels to visitors. A web developer focuses on the code and technical features behind it. On smaller projects one team can do both, which is how we work, so you only deal with one point of contact.

A freelancer can be a good fit for a very simple site, but you depend on one person for design, build and ongoing support. A company gives you a team covering design, build, SEO setup and after-launch help, so your project is not held up if one person is unavailable.

Look at live examples of their work, check independent reviews, and ask exactly what is included in the price. Confirm you will own the site, and get a clear timeframe in writing. Our guide on how to choose a web designer in Australia covers this in more detail.
