FAQ
Sunshine Coast web designer FAQs
How much does a website cost?
Starter websites start from $1,500, Refresh (a rebuild of an existing site) from $2,200, Signature (a custom, strategy-led build) from $4,500 and Commerce (online stores) from $6,500. Care plans start from $149 a month. "From" means the final price depends on pages, features and integrations. You get a fixed written quote before we start. [Prices in AUD, plus GST if applicable.]
Which package is right for me?
Starter: new businesses and sole traders who need to get online properly.
Refresh: you already have a site that looks dated or sits on the wrong platform.
Signature: your brand depends on how your website looks and works.
Commerce: you sell products online.
Not sure? Tell me about your business and I'll point you to the right one.
Why not use Wix, Squarespace or an AI website builder?
They're fine for a quick, low-stakes page. They won't give you a design built around your customers, strong search foundations or a site that someone competent looks after. You're paying for experienced design and judgement, not the mechanics of building a page.
How long does it take?
Starter sites typically take 1-2 weeks, Refresh 3-4 weeks, Signature 5-6 weeks, and Commerce 4-8 weeks, depending on the size of the shop. The biggest factor is how quickly content and feedback come back to me.
Will I lose my search ranking if I redesign?
Not if it's done properly. A Refresh keeps your existing content, sets up redirects and preserves the search settings that already work, so traffic isn't lost in the move.
Can I edit the website myself?
Yes. I build on WordPress so you can change text and images without a developer. I'll show you how, and you can hand bigger changes to me.
Do I need a Care plan?
It's optional but worth having. A website that isn't updated, backed up and monitored becomes slow and vulnerable to hacks. Care covers hosting, updates, backups and support so you don't have to think about it.
Who will I be working with?
One person from start to finish: me. As your Sunshine Coast web designer, there's no account manager and no handover, so you talk directly to the person designing and building your site.
Do you work outside the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. As a Sunshine Coast web designer, I work with businesses across Australia, in person on the Sunshine Coast and online everywhere else.
What if my project doesn't fit a package?
Tell me what you need and I'll quote it. Many projects start from a package and add things like integrations, extra pages or custom features.
How do I get started?
Send an enquiry with a link to your current site, if you have one, and what you want it to do. I'll reply with a few questions and then a fixed quote.
Not sure what you need? Start with a free Site Audit. I'll tell you what's worth fixing, what's worth rebuilding, and what you can safely leave alone.

All articles →Web Design for Sunshine Coast Professional Services: Accountants, Consultants and Law Firms
Professional services websites on the Sunshine Coast have a template problem. When every accountant, consultant and law firm looks identical online, trust is the first casualty - and so is your ability to stand out. Here's what a proper custom site does differently.
Brand Identity for Small Business: Why a Logo Is Just the Start
Your logo is just the start. Here's why a proper brand identity - one that actually works across every touchpoint - is worth getting right, and why a quick AI-generated logo usually isn't the shortcut it seems.
WordPress vs Wix vs Squarespace: The Platform Decision for Sunshine Coast Businesses
WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace - which platform should you choose? I build on WordPress, so I'm obviously biased. But here's what I've learned watching Sunshine Coast businesses make this decision: the platform that seems easiest at the start often costs more in the long run. Here's the honest breakdown of what each one actually gives you.

Lawrence is a genuine expert in his field. He is fast, responsive, and clearly takes immense pride in his work. I’ve collaborated with him on multiple projects, and every time he not only meets but exceeds expectations. His portfolio speaks for itself, showcasing some of the most impressive web designs I’ve seen across Australia!

I couldn’t be happier with the work Lawrence did on updating and upgrading our website. From the start, he made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free, taking care of essentially everything for us. His turnaround time was impressively quick, and the whole project was handled professionally from start to finish.

Struggled for weeks to find someone that seemed to have the aesthetic sensibilities to design our website and eventually found Lawrie. Couldn’t be happier: a designer who communicates perfectly, is not precious about their ideas and basically just ‘gets it’. Also responsive, well-priced and gets the job done. Thanks heaps Lawrie.
