Website Design Canberra
We design and build websites for Canberra businesses that are fast, beautiful, and built to convert. Every decision - from layout to copywriting to UX - is made with your customers and your goals in mind.
Most small business websites look decent enough. They have the right pages, a logo, and a phone number. But they don't convert - because they were built to look good, not to do a job. We see this constantly with Canberra businesses who come to us after a cheap web design build that never delivered any enquiries.
The difference between a website that sits there and one that generates real leads and revenue is strategy-led design. It's understanding how your customers think, what makes them act, and then building every element of your site around those insights. That's how Studio Who approaches every web design project in Canberra.
What's included
Hand-built WordPress websites that are clean, fast, and easy for you to manage. No bloated page builders or fragile plugins. It's the platform we recommend for most Canberra small business websites because it gives you control without the complexity.
We map out the user journey before a single pixel is placed, so every page has a clear purpose and a clear path to conversion.
Built on solid technical SEO foundations from day one - fast load times, clean code, structured data, and a site structure search engines love.
Designed for the screen your customers actually use. Every breakpoint is considered so your site looks sharp on any device.
High-converting standalone pages built for campaigns, launches, and lead generation - designed to get visitors to take one clear action.
We don't disappear after launch. Monthly maintenance plans keep your site secure, updated, and performing at its best.
A good web design company does more than build websites, it designs and develops a site around your business goals, not just a template. We're user friendly by design: every project starts with how real customers will actually use the site, then moves through a clear design process, from wireframes to a high performing, responsive design that works on any device. Whether you need a lead-generating brochure site or an ecommerce website with a content management system your team can manage day to day, our web designers work closely with you through the whole development project, so what launches actually fits your business, not just your brief.
How we work
We start with a deep dive into your business, your customers, and your goals. This shapes every decision that follows.
Before any visual design, we map out the site structure and page layouts so we're aligned on how everything flows and converts.
Full visual designs in your brand - colours, type, imagery, and every interactive state - presented for your feedback and approval.
For projects that include copy, we write every word with your audience and search intent in mind. Clear, compelling, and on-brand.
Your designs are built into a fast, clean WordPress site. You get a staging environment to review everything before it goes live.
We handle the technical side of going live, then walk you through how to manage your new site with confidence.
Case study
Millynn Homes came to us with a home-made website that didn't reflect the quality of their work. They needed something that would attract serious clients and generate consistent leads without relying on word of mouth alone.
We redesigned their website from the ground up - new structure, new copy, new visual identity - and paired it with a targeted Facebook advertising campaign. The results came quickly.
"We have seen a dramatic increase of work flow just from our website!"
- Brad M., Millynn Homes
Case study
Dawson Street Dental had never had a website. In a town where none of Cooma's three dental practices had one, that meant relying entirely on word of mouth and their Google listing to bring in new patients.
We built their website from the ground up, set up their professional email, and put a content engine in place - 32 articles publishing on a weekly schedule to keep the site active in search.
"We're very happy with our website and have had lots of positive feedback on it since it went live."
- Ivette M., Dawson Street Dental
Case study
Very Dirty Carpet's enquiries had dropped, and the site itself was often going offline - dragging down its search visibility without anyone realising that was the root cause.
We rebuilt the site, fixed the technical SEO issues underneath it, redirected dead URLs to protect their ranking history, and put a plan in place to outrank local competitors.
"I recently had Studio Who do a full website re-do and am absolutely stoked with the outcome! These guys are professionals and have a passion for what they do! They turned my home made website into something with purpose and created a new pathway for clients. We have seen a dramatic increase of work flow just from our website! They also helped us with Facebook ads, getting roughly 50 leads so far! 10/10 recommend to any business owner looking to create the professional profile!"
"We engaged Koome from Studio Who for our business website and he was fantastic. Quick to respond, gets things done and doesn't waste time with unnecessary back and forth. We're very happy with our website and have had lots of positive feedback on it since it went live. If you're looking for someone to build you a professional, modern site, Koome is your guy."
FAQ
Most projects take between 6 and 12 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on size and complexity. Smaller projects typically land at the shorter end; larger or more complex builds allow more time for rounds of design, copy review, and development. We'll give you a clear timeline in your proposal so there are no surprises.
Most of our websites are built on WordPress with custom-developed themes - not drag-and-drop builders. It's the approach we recommend for the majority of Canberra website projects because it gives you a clean, fast, maintainable site you can update yourself without needing a developer every time. For projects requiring advanced functionality, we may recommend a headless or custom approach and will talk you through the options.
Yes. Every website we build includes solid SEO foundations - semantic HTML structure, optimised page titles and meta descriptions, fast load times, schema markup, and a clean URL structure. Projects that include copywriting go deeper into keyword research and on-page SEO. Ongoing SEO is available as a separate service.
Yes - we offer monthly care plans that cover plugin and WordPress core updates, security monitoring, uptime monitoring, regular backups, and a bank of support hours for small updates. It's the easiest way to make sure your site stays secure, fast, and functioning properly long after launch.
It depends on the scope, a straightforward brochure site is a different job to an ecommerce build with a full content management system. As a guide, most Canberra small business websites with us land in the low thousands, with the exact figure set by page count, functionality, and whether copywriting or photography is included. We'll give you a clear, itemised quote before any work starts.
Yes, every site is designed around your business, not pulled from a generic template. We work with Canberra businesses across trades, professional services and hospitality, so the design, structure and content are built around how your actual customers search and buy, not a one-size-fits-all layout.
