Working with us

Where are you based?

Our studio is in Melbourne, Victoria. We meet clients in person across Melbourne and work remotely with businesses throughout Australia.

Do you outsource development offshore?

No. Our entire team is based in Australia, so you always deal directly with the people designing and building your product.

What size businesses do you work with?

Everyone from sole traders and startups to established organisations with hundreds of staff. Our packages scale from a five-page website to complex multi-platform systems.

Projects & pricing

How do you price projects?

After a free discovery call we provide a fixed quote in AUD including GST. See our pricing page for typical starting points.

How long will my project take?

Websites typically take 4–8 weeks, custom web and mobile apps 8–16 weeks. You'll receive a detailed timeline with your quote.

Who owns the code and content?

You do. Once the final invoice is paid, all project code, designs and content are yours.

Hosting & security

Where is my data stored?

In Australian data centres by default, including AWS Sydney and Melbourne regions and Azure Australia East.

How do you keep systems secure?

We follow the ACSC Essential Eight as a baseline: patching, hardening, MFA, least-privilege access, encrypted backups and continuous monitoring.

Can you help if our site has been hacked?

Yes. Contact us immediately – we'll contain the issue, clean and restore your site, and harden it to prevent a repeat.

Support

What happens after launch?

Every project includes a post-launch support period. After that, you can choose a care plan or engage us ad hoc as needed.

What are your support hours?

Our office hours are Mon–Fri, 9am–5:30pm AEST. Server Care clients receive 24/7 monitoring with a 30-minute response for critical incidents.

Can you take over a website or app another agency built?

Absolutely. We start with a code and security audit, then provide a clear plan to stabilise, improve or rebuild.

Still have questions?

We're happy to chat. Tell us a little about your project and we'll get back to you within one business day.
