We're an Australian family business based right here in Melbourne

Web design in Melbourne, built free

We design and build your website for free — you see the whole thing finished before you pay a cent. After that it's $199/month, all in. No lock-in, no exit fee. Wherever you are in Melbourne, we build for you.

What does web design in Melbourne actually cost?

Nothing to build. We design and build your website for free, and you pay nothing until you've seen it and approved it. From there it's $199/month for the Free Range Care Plan — hosting, security, backups and unlimited updates, all in. No setup fee. No lock-in. Cancel any time with 30 days notice. As a Melbourne web design agency working with small businesses and tradies, we handle the whole build upfront — everything a website designer would normally bill for, at no cost until you approve it. If you've been looking for affordable web design in Melbourne, the maths is straightforward: $0 to build, $199/month once it's live. If you're still getting a Melbourne business off the ground, business.gov.au is a solid, plain-English guide to the registrations and licences worth sorting first.

Plenty of "free" websites are really a 12-month contract with the cost buried in the monthly fee. Ours isn't.
Don't like the site? Don't pay for it. Stop liking it in month seven? Leave.

Why businesses across Melbourne work with us

A Melbourne web designer who actually picks up the phone

We're local. We're a Melbourne family business, not an overseas agency or a faceless platform. You get a real person who answers the phone — that's Baz, on 0412 843 733. We build it free, you decide after. You see your finished website before you pay anything. If it's not right, you walk away owing nothing. No deposit, no risk.

The web development for every Melbourne build is handled in-house — hand-coded, not assembled from a page builder, so every site loads fast and stays properly structured. Built to be found across Melbourne, and set up with your Google Business Profile — the foundation that helps local customers find you, whichever suburb you're in. It's the same build whether you run one of the trades we know best, like electricians and plumbers, or any other local business.

Total across 12 months: $199 × 12 = $2,388

That's way less than what an agency would charge upfront. i-e $5,000–$25,000+

$199. That's probably less than a single call out fee

Now that's amazing!

Questions we get asked a lot

The stuff you're probably wondering

Do you only work with businesses in certain Melbourne suburbs?+
No — we build for businesses right across Melbourne, and Australia-wide. We're featuring certain suburbs first, but where you are doesn't limit whether we can build for you.
Do I need to meet you in person?+
No. Everything happens by phone, email and a short online form, so it's just as easy whether you're in Glen Waverley or on the other side of the city.
Will this help local customers find me?+
We build the foundation — a fast site, structured properly, with your Google Business Profile set up. We can't promise page one, and nobody can promise that, but without that foundation nothing else has a chance. A lot of those local searches end in “near me”, and it’s the suburb pages and the Business Profile that decide whether you come up in them.
I've already got a website. Why would I start again?+
Most were built once, years ago, by someone who's now unreachable — and your business has moved on since. If adding a page means chasing a developer and paying by the hour, it never gets done. Yours would be built to change.
What's the catch?+
There isn't one, but here's our business model in plain English: the build is free, and we make our money from the Care Plan once you're live. We only get paid if you love the site — which is exactly the incentive you want us to have.
Is it really free?+
The build is genuinely free — no setup fee, no deposit, no card details. The Care Plan (hosting, updates, upkeep) is $199/month, and it only starts when your site goes live.
I've been searching for cheap website design in Melbourne — is this it?+
If cheap means low cost, then yes. The build is free and the monthly fee is $199 — no lock-in, no setup cost. If cheap means low quality, then no — every site is hand-coded, mobile-first, and built to be found on Google.
What if I don't like the site?+
You walk away. No payment, no invoice, no hard feelings. And before that, you get a full 7-day review window with unlimited changes — batch your feedback into a list and we'll work through the lot.
How fast will it be ready?+
Ready to review within 5 business days of your completed form — or your first month is free. Once you approve and pay, it's live within 24 hours.
Am I locked into a contract?+
No. Month to month from day one, cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Watch out for "free website" offers that need a 12-month contract — that's not free, that's a lease with a smile.
Do I own the website?+
Your domain and your content are always yours, full stop. The site code stays ours while you're on the Care Plan — that's how we keep the build free — and if you ever want to take it elsewhere, you can buy it outright for a flat $1,800, anytime.
What happens if I cancel?+
Your site stays live through your 30-day notice, your domain goes with you, and you've got 30 days after that to buy the code if you want it.
Who qualifies?+
Melbourne businesses and Australia-wide small businesses. Bigger or more complex operations usually fit Made to Order — get in touch instead.
