What a Mkista website includes
Most Melbourne web design quotes are a black box. Here's exactly what every build ships with — no upgrade tiers, no surprise add-ons:
- Hand-built on Framer, WordPress, Shopify or fully custom code — no page-builder bloat
- Green Core Web Vitals as the baseline: your site loads before your competitor's finishes thinking
- Schema, meta, headings and internal linking designed in from the first wireframe
- Copy written to Google's E-E-A-T standard — first-hand, specific, human
- Mobile-first layouts with tap-to-call and WhatsApp built into the page
- Search Console wired from day one, so you can watch it get found
Built for Melbourne small business
Tradies, brokers, clinics, restaurants, movers — businesses where the phone ringing is the whole point. Your customers search "near me" and call the first site that loads and looks credible. Mkista has built and grown exactly these kinds of sites across Melbourne: Dahiya Finance (mortgage broking, 90+ pages), Sam's Removals (removalists with WhatsApp-wired lead capture), Moksh Healing and Yes Movers.
Website redesign in Melbourne? Redesigns are where rankings usually die — old URLs get dropped, redirects get skipped, and years of Google trust evaporate overnight. Mkista maps every existing URL before touching anything, preserves the pages that already rank, and 301-redirects the rest properly. You get a new site without starting from zero.
What it costs — honestly
Melbourne agencies typically quote $6,000–$25,000 for a small business site. Australian freelancers usually land between $2,500–$7,000. Mkista prices each project individually with a fixed written quote after a free strategy call — no hourly surprises, no hidden retainers.

Why there are no ads in the plan
Mkista doesn't sell Google Ads or Facebook Ads — by design. Ads rent you traffic; the moment you stop paying, it's gone. A well-built site that ranks keeps selling around the clock, and the asset is yours. It's slower for the first month, and better for every month after. That's the whole bet, and it's why every build is search-first rather than pretty-first.
Questions Melbourne businesses ask
How much does web design cost in Melbourne?
Agencies typically quote $6,000–$25,000; freelancers $2,500–$7,000. Mkista works on a fixed written quote agreed after a free call — you know the full number before anything starts.
Do you meet clients in person in Melbourne?
Most projects run over WhatsApp, email and scheduled calls — faster for you, cheaper for the project. Everything is documented in writing.
Will my website actually rank on Google?
Every build ships search-first: schema, clean structure, fast Core Web Vitals, pages planned around what your customers search. Nobody can honestly guarantee positions — but the site you launch is already the site Google wants to rank. Ongoing SEO in Melbourne is there when you want to push harder.
Can you redesign my site without losing rankings?
Yes. Every old URL gets mapped, ranking pages preserved, everything else 301-redirected properly. A redesign, not a restart.
