Web Design Australia

No matter how large or small your business is, it is always essential to have a website. It shows potential customers that you are a legitimate business, makes your business look professional,  builds trust with your customers and credibility, and improves lead generation.

Having a website helps your business stand out from your competitors. You can showcase your products and services. It’s your shopfront 24/7, giving your customer information about your business and what you do at any time of the day.

The term "web design" is normally used to describe the design process relating to the front-end (client side) design of a website. Web design partially overlaps web engineering in the broader scope of web development. Web designers are expected to have an awareness of usability and if their role involves creating markup then they are also expected to be up to date with web accessibility guidelines.

Web development is the work involved in developing a Web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network).[1] Web development can range from developing a simple single static page of plain text to complex web applications, electronic businesses, and social network services. A more comprehensive list of tasks to which Web development commonly refers may include Web engineering, Web design, Web content development, client liaison, client-side/server-side scripting, Web server and network security configuration, and eCommerce development.

Among Web professionals, "Web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building Web sites: writing markup and coding.[2] Web development may use content management systems (CMS) to make content changes easier and available with basic technical skills. Source: Wikipedia

Website Designing and Development are two important aspects of any business.  Your website usability, content, and overall design have a profound impact on your perceived credibility which will influence your bottom line and conversions.  A website should be able to distribute a clear message to its customers as well as be responsive.  The development of a website should include any functionality required for a good user experience or to streamline business interactions.  The Love My Online Marketing team is made up of talented website copywriters, website designers and website developers.  Click here to find out the difference between a website designer and a website developer.

Website hosting refers to the services and technology that allow a website to be on the internet.

Websites are hosted on computers called "servers." Once a server is hosting your website, internet users can type your website address into their browser's URL bar. This will then connect to the server, which in turn delivers your web pages to the browser.

To ensure your business success websites that are designed and developed by us must also be hosted by us. We build on cloud-based agency proprietary software that includes guaranteed server resources and unlimited website growth.

➲ Why we are leaders in this space:

⮞ Amazon - A Trustworthy Host - Hosting is provided via Amazon Web Services (AWS) and guarantees your site maintains a 99.999% uptime. They are also served via Amazon's Cloudfront CDN to ensure lightning-fast loading.

⮞ Fully Responsive Framework - Your responsive website is based on the ZURB Foundation framework which means that can easily fit and adjust itself for device compatibility.

⮞ Image Optimization - All images are automatically optimized and resized, per device and according to their location on the page, for faster page speed.

⮞ Google Page Speed Preferred - We are the only agency proprietary website software that’s preferred by Google PageSpeed. Google’s latest algorithms are built to favour faster-loading sites, especially those that are responsive or mobile-optimised. Google’s data backs up its stance: faster sites have longer visitor sessions, lower bounce rates, and more page views. For every second longer, your site takes to load, you get fewer conversions.

⮞ Easy To Use Website CMS - CMS stands for a content management system that allows allowing multiple contributors to create, edit and publish. We enable basic front-end editing so our clients can make changes to the existing content on the website easily without any knowledge of code.

Yes.  The health of your website should be the least of your worries. With our website enterprise security, we will monitor and update your website, while you focus on growing your business. Updates are critical to the health and longevity of your site, and the easiest way to keep your site secure is to keep it updated.

🗸 Regular Backups of Your Website

Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. You might delete an important file on your website, make a change that breaks some of its functionality, and so on. There are ways to fix these kinds of errors, but in our experience, few are as efficient as restoring a previous backup.

🗸 Website Firewall

A firewall acts as a gatekeeper. It monitors attempts to gain access to your operating system and blocks unwanted traffic or unrecognized sources.

🗸 Bug Fixes

Any bug fixes provided by the software developers are added to your website’s operating system.

🗸 Software Updates

Your site is always upgraded to the latest software versions. Website firewall is always enhanced by having software that is up to date.

Making sure your website is always online is imperative if you want your business to grow. Most business owners don't realise how important the role of the website host is when it comes to how their business performs online and ranks in the search.

This includes:

Security

Without having a safe, well-maintained website, you risk being hacked. If this happens, Google will begin to 'distrust' your website. Good hosting ensures the safety of your website.

 Speed

A fast website offers a better user experience overall for the user, which is imperative to how they feel about your site and your business. Cheap hosting often translates to poor performance and can mean sharing resources between multiple websites on an overloaded server.

 Google Rankings

The online marketplace is ever-growing and businesses are eager to see their websites on top of Google search pages. Which company you choose to host your website with does have an effect on where your website ranks in search engines. Some web hosting factors that affect Google rankings include speed/page load time, server downtime, location, using shared hosting services with spammers, incorrect TLD, and much more.

Yes. There's a good chance that your website doesn't have SSL right now, which means it's not secure. And that's not good for search engines or customers. When you become a Love My Online Marketing client, you get an SSL certificate included in your hosting package which means your site will always be secure.

SSL Certificates are fundamental to internet security. They are used to establish an encrypted connection and allow data to be transmitted securely between a browser or user's computer and a server or website. Websites need SSL certificates to establish trust and online security for their website visitors and business as well as to rank well on Google. Google wants to make the web safer and a big part of that involves making sure that the sites people access via Google are secure. That's why websites using SSL benefit from ranking higher in search results.

Yes, we do! Our clients include local Government website developments,  government departments, organisations, social ventures and non-profit organisations with social causes and private sector clients across Australia – including small business owners.

Websites created by Google Marketers and experienced webmasters can make a huge difference to a website design.  Website design consulting helps take into consideration the target market, your business's goals and the content, both visual and written.   Having a clean website that helps your target audience get to know your business makes a great website design.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Website responsiveness:  Making sure your website is accessible and user friendly on all devices.  Love My Online Marketing's servers optimise content served based on the type of device requesting the content. That means, for example, that when a mobile device requests a page, the faster-loading mobile version of the site is loaded rather than the slower-loading desktop version of the same page.

As a leading web design Australia and eCommerce website design agency, we don't have a specialised niche and can support any business. In fact the team at Love My Online Marketing loves learning about businesses, their services and the problems they are solving when creating a website.  Before developing a website a lot of research goes into competitors and the website copy.  We follow a simple methodology, when a prospect lands on your website they want to see straight away they are in the right place, then they will drill down to the services and products on offer, they may then want to read more to confirm definitely that is the service or product they need and then they want an easy way to buy, call or contact the business.

We streamline this experience for your prospects when designing a website so you can generate maximum leads and sales via the website.

No we don't. We are Google marketers so we look for maximum impact for the businesses we work alongside on Google. Google gives usually a keyword that can be optimised per page so only doing a one-page website doesn't align with the long-term goals we have for the businesses we are providing website and Google services for.  The minimum size of a website that we would work on is three pages, however, this is rare, a small business website would have at least five pages.  

We do though craft landing pages for ourr clients with an exiting website for targeted campaigns.

This is a very hard question as each website we do is scoped out on the discovery call to make sure it covers everything that aligns with the businesses audience and the businesses goals.  We don't build "cheap" websites all our website pricing is value-based.  The businesses that come to us are serious businesses that don't want cheap, they want a reputable, experienced, customer-centric website design business to work alongside them.  They also want to deal end-to-end with a "web design in Australian". "an Australian company" or a "local company based in Wollongong" with responsive staff that are available full-time 9 am - 5 pm Monday to Friday in their time zone.

Our hosting packages start at $420 - for small businesses - eCcommerce starts from $620 annually.

Usually a new business will need a logo design and a branding guide. Our custom Australian web design and corporate website design agency can also include setting up a professional email signature, setting up social channels for businesses and going on to promote a business on Google. 

Google Marketing is not just one of our service offerings, it is a core service offering. Your website is your best marketing tool. If you're not showing up at the top of Google, someone else's business is. We can drive traffic instantly to your business through Google Ads, PPC and can constantly analyse and optimise the performance of your website, using SEO strategies to ensure your business gets the best results from Google.
