What We Offer
Whether you need a brand-new website, a long-overdue redesign or a single high-converting landing page, we tailor the scope to your goals and budget. Every project is designed and built in-house by our local Australian team.
A website designed from a blank canvas around your brand, services and customers.
We plan the sitemap, write or refine the messaging with you, and build every page to guide visitors towards an enquiry. The result is a professional, distinctive site that reflects the quality of your work and stands apart from cookie-cutter competitors.
If your current site feels dated, slow or hard to update, we’ll rebuild it without throwing away what already works.
We audit your existing pages, traffic and rankings first, keep the content that performs, map every old URL to its new home with redirects and modernise the design so you gain momentum rather than lose it.
Focused, single-purpose pages for Google Ads, Meta campaigns, product launches and seasonal promotions.
Each landing page has one clear goal, persuasive copy, social proof and a short form or click-to-call button. Because they’re built on your main platform, you can duplicate and tweak them for new campaigns without starting from zero.
More traffic isn’t always the answer.
Often the quickest win is converting more of the visitors you already have. We review analytics, heatmaps and user journeys to find where people drop off, then test clearer headlines, stronger calls to action, simpler forms and better trust signals to lift enquiries and sales.
Connect your website to the tools that run your business.
We integrate CRMs, booking systems, email marketing platforms, payment gateways, live chat and accounting software, and build custom functionality such as quote calculators, member areas and searchable directories, so your website quietly saves you admin time every single day.
Great design is more than picking nice colours.
We create a consistent visual system of typography, colour, spacing, imagery and buttons that reflects your brand and makes pages easy to scan. Basic logo and brand styling is included in every build, so even a brand-new business launches with a cohesive look.

Why Choose Us
Plenty of agencies can make a website look nice. We focus on building websites that earn their keep, and on being the kind of partner small business owners actually enjoy working with.
Your website is designed and built for $0 upfront when you subscribe to any of our monthly SEO or social media marketing plans. Hosting, security, updates and backups are included too, so there’s no big invoice before your new site starts working.
While you’re on a plan, we manage and host your site for you. If you ever cancel and want to keep it, a one-off $500 buyout hands over full ownership, website files and access. No hidden exit fees and no awkward conversations.
You’ll deal directly with the Melbourne-based designers and developers building your site, not an overseas call centre or a chain of account managers. That means faster answers, fewer misunderstandings and someone who understands the Australian market.
Search engine optimisation is part of the build, not an optional extra. Clean code, logical heading structure, optimised images, schema markup and fast load times give your new website a solid foundation to rank on Google from launch.
We explain decisions in everyday language and keep you updated weekly. You’ll always know what stage your project is at, what we need from you and what’s coming next, without needing to decode technical acronyms.
Our SEO and social media plans, with your website included, run month to month. We’d rather keep you as a client because the results speak for themselves than because a contract says you can’t leave. It keeps us accountable and keeps you in control.

Our Approach
Most small business owners we speak with across Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane have a similar story.
They paid for a website a few years ago, it looked fine at launch, and then it slowly became a digital brochure that nobody visits. It’s slow on mobile, it’s hard to update, and it rarely produces an enquiry. Meanwhile, competitors with newer sites are picking up the work.
We started Leafy Digitals to fix that. Our approach to custom website design begins with your business goals, not a theme gallery. Before we open a design tool, we learn who your best customers are, what questions they ask before buying and what makes them choose you over the business down the road. That insight shapes the structure, the words and the calls to action on every page.
From there, we design a site that looks distinctly yours and works hard behind the scenes. It loads quickly, reads well on a phone, tracks enquiries properly and gives Google clear signals about what you do and where you do it. Everything is built on a proven platform that makes future updates quick and painless.
And when the site goes live, we don’t disappear. Because your site comes with your SEO or social media plan, we host, secure and maintain it, monitor performance and keep making improvements, so your website keeps getting better instead of slowly going stale.
How We Do It
We choose the platform that suits your business, not the one that’s easiest for us. For most Australian small businesses that means WordPress or Webflow, two proven, flexible platforms that balance design freedom with easy day-to-day editing.
Both platforms make it quick to edit text, swap images, publish blog posts and add new pages, so our team can turn around your requests quickly. We structure every page with reusable, well-organised content blocks, which keeps changes fast and reduces the risk of accidentally breaking a layout.
Neither platform locks you into a rigid template. We design custom layouts in Figma, then build them precisely, so your website looks the way it was designed rather than the way a theme decided it should look.
We keep code lean, compress images, limit unnecessary plugins and use modern caching. Faster pages create a better experience for visitors, support stronger Core Web Vitals scores and help reduce the number of people who leave before the page loads.
WordPress and Webflow both give us fine control over page titles, meta descriptions, URLs, redirects, sitemaps and structured data. That makes it straightforward to follow SEO best practice now and to grow your content and rankings later.
Both platforms are widely used, actively maintained and supported by large developer communities, so you’re never reliant on one agency. With hosting, updates and backups included in your plan, your site stays updated, backed up and protected.

Benefits
Clear messaging, well-placed calls to action and simple forms make it easy for visitors to take the next step, whether that’s calling, booking or requesting a quote.
A polished, professional site builds trust in seconds and signals that your business takes quality seriously, which matters when customers are comparing several options.
Many of your visitors will arrive on a phone. We design for small screens first, so navigation, buttons and forms feel natural on any device.
Lean code and optimised images mean pages load quickly, keeping impatient visitors on your site and supporting better search visibility.
Technical SEO foundations are built in, giving your pages the best possible chance to appear when Australians search for what you offer.
Integrations with booking, CRM and email tools automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time you’d otherwise spend copying details between systems.
A flexible, well-structured site makes it easy to add new services, locations, landing pages and blog content as your business expands.
Analytics and conversion tracking are set up properly, so you can see exactly where enquiries come from and make smarter marketing decisions.
No more apologising for your website. You’ll have a site you’re happy to share with customers, staff and partners.
Every engagement is tailored to your goals, but these essentials come as standard.

How We Work
No jargon, no surprises. Here’s exactly how we take you from first call to measurable growth.
We start with a free call to understand your business, customers, competitors and goals, and review your current website and analytics if you have them.
You receive a written proposal with sitemap, features, timeline and the plan that suits your goals. Once approved, we map out the content for each page together.
We create wireframes and then polished mockups for desktop and mobile, refining them with your feedback until the look and flow feel right.
Our developers bring the design to life on WordPress or Webflow, adding your content, integrations, SEO foundations, tracking and speed optimisation.
We test across browsers and devices, check forms and redirects, then go live and confirm Google can crawl and index the new site.
We host and maintain your site as part of your plan, while ongoing SEO, social and conversion work drives more enquiries.
FAQ
With any of our monthly SEO or social media marketing plans, your custom website is designed and built for $0 upfront, and hosting, security, updates and backups are included while you’re subscribed. Basic logo and brand styling is part of every build too. If you later cancel your plan and want to keep the website, there’s a simple one-off $500 buyout fee, and the site is yours. See our pricing page for plan details and what each one includes.
Most small business websites take around three to five weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites, complex integrations and projects with lots of content can take six to ten weeks. The biggest factor is usually how quickly content and feedback come through, so we agree a realistic timeline upfront, share a clear schedule and keep you updated every week so the project stays on track.
Both are excellent, and we’ll recommend one based on your needs. WordPress is ideal if you want a huge range of plugins, flexible content or complex functionality. Webflow suits businesses that value a polished visual editor, built-in hosting and fewer moving parts to maintain. If you’re selling products online, Shopify or WooCommerce may be the better fit, which our E-commerce team can help with.
Here’s how it works. While your website is provided as part of an SEO or social media plan, we build, host and maintain it, so admin and hosting access stays with us to keep it secure and running smoothly. That’s how we can offer it with no upfront fee. If you cancel your plan and want to keep the site, a one-off $500 buyout transfers full ownership, website files and all access to you, so you can take it anywhere.
A redesign always carries some risk, but careful planning keeps it to a minimum. Before we change anything, we benchmark your current traffic and rankings, identify the pages that perform best and map every old URL to its new equivalent with 301 redirects. We preserve valuable content, check technical SEO before launch and monitor Search Console afterwards so any issues are picked up and fixed quickly.
We can. Many clients prefer to supply rough notes and have our copywriters turn them into clear, persuasive, search-friendly content. Others write their own copy and ask us to polish and optimise it. Either way, we provide a page-by-page content plan so you know exactly what’s needed. We can also source quality stock imagery or organise professional photography if your current images don’t do your business justice.
Absolutely. Every site we build is designed mobile-first, then scaled up for tablets and desktops. We optimise images, keep code lean, minimise heavy plugins and use modern caching to help pages load quickly. Before launch we test across common devices and browsers and review Core Web Vitals so your site feels responsive for visitors and gives search engines positive signals.
Yes. While your site is part of an SEO or Social Media plan, our team makes every update for you, so just email or call through the change, whether it’s new text, photos, prices or a whole new page. Most small edits are done within one to two business days. We keep admin and hosting access on our side so the site stays secure, fast and aligned with your marketing. If you pay the buyout, we hand over full admin access and a walkthrough so you can manage it yourself.
After launch we monitor the site closely for any issues and confirm Google is crawling and indexing it correctly. From there, updates, backups, security monitoring and support are all included in your SEO or social media plan, while that plan works to bring more of the right traffic to your new site. Many clients also add Google Ads or AI automation to turn more of those visitors into customers.
Yes. While our team is based in Melbourne, we design websites for businesses right across Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and regional areas. Our process runs smoothly over video calls, shared design links and email, so location is never a barrier. You’ll still deal directly with the same local team throughout, and we work to Australian business hours.
