What You Get With Our Custom Web Development Services

🎨

How does the website design reflect our brand and convert visitors into customers?

We produce custom Figma designs (not templates) aligned with your brand guidelines, tested on real users via prototype sessions before development begins. Every design decision — layout, typography, CTAs — is grounded in UX principles and conversion best practice for your specific audience.

How fast will the website load for Australian visitors on mobile?

We target Core Web Vitals scores of 90+ (Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, no CLS). This is achieved through Next.js server-side rendering or static generation, image optimisation, font subsetting, and Cloudflare CDN caching from Australian edge nodes.

🔍

How is the website built to rank well in Google search?

Technical SEO is built in: semantic HTML5 structure, JSON-LD schema markup, canonical tags, sitemap generation, robots.txt configuration, Open Graph meta, and structured breadcrumb navigation. On-page SEO for every page is included in the delivery scope, not added as an afterthought.

📱

Will the website work perfectly on all screen sizes and devices?

Every website is built mobile-first with responsive CSS that adapts to phones, tablets, and desktop screens. We test on real devices across iOS Safari, Android Chrome, and the full range of common viewport sizes — not just browser developer tools.

Does the website meet accessibility standards for Australian compliance?

We build to WCAG 2.2 Level AA — the standard required by Australian government and increasingly by private sector organisations under the Disability Discrimination Act. This covers screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, colour contrast ratios, and form labelling.

🔒

How is the website secured against hacking and data breaches?

Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, Content Security Policy headers, protection against XSS and CSRF, rate limiting on forms, CAPTCHA for high-risk interactions, regular dependency vulnerability scanning, and (where relevant) WAF rules blocking common attack patterns.

🔗

Can the website integrate with our CRM, email, and other business tools?

Yes — we integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, Google Analytics 4, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Hotjar, and any tool that provides an API or script tag. Form submissions, chat interactions, and e-commerce events are tracked consistently across all platforms.

📊

How will we measure the website's performance after launch?

We configure Google Analytics 4 with enhanced measurement, Google Search Console, and a performance monitoring dashboard (Datadog or similar). Monthly reports cover traffic, conversion rates, Core Web Vitals scores, and search ranking trends for your target keywords.

Australia's Trusted Custom Web Development Studio

OpenMalo Technologies has built more than 250 custom websites for Australian businesses across professional services, e-commerce, healthcare, education, and government over 13 years. Our Melbourne and Sydney web development team covers every discipline in-house — UX design, frontend development (React, Next.js, Vue.js), backend development (Laravel, Node.js), DevOps, SEO, and content management — delivering complete web projects without subcontracting.

Every custom web project begins with a design sprint producing approved Figma designs before a line of code is written. Development is delivered in two-week Agile sprints with staging previews throughout. The project includes technical SEO setup, accessibility audit, performance testing, browser compatibility testing, analytics configuration, and 30 days of post-launch support as standard.

Our Custom Web Development Process

01

Discovery & UX Strategy

We run a discovery workshop covering your target audience, conversion goals, competitor landscape, and content requirements — producing a sitemap, wireframes, and a technical brief before design begins.

02

Design & Prototype Review

Custom Figma designs are produced for desktop and mobile. You review and approve an interactive prototype before development begins — preventing costly design changes during the build phase.

03

Development, CMS Build & QA

Two-week sprints deliver staging previews throughout the build. CMS templates are built so your team can add and edit content independently. QA covers functionality, accessibility, performance, and cross-browser compatibility.

04

Launch, SEO Setup & Handover

We configure Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, sitemap submission, schema markup, and all technical SEO elements before launch. A team training session covers CMS management and we provide 30 days of post-launch support.

Custom Web Development FAQs

Common questions about our custom web development services.

Ask Us Anything →
How much does a custom website cost in Melbourne or Sydney?
Custom website development in Melbourne and Sydney starts from AUD $15,000 for a corporate website with up to 15 pages, CMS integration, and basic SEO setup. A complex website with custom functionality, API integrations, and e-commerce capability typically ranges AUD $30,000–$80,000+. OpenMalo provides a fixed-price quote after a free discovery session.
How long does custom web development take?
A standard corporate website with 10–20 pages and a CMS typically takes 8–14 weeks from design approval to launch. A complex website with custom integrations, multi-language support, or significant backend functionality takes 3–6 months. We provide a milestone-based timeline in every proposal.
Why should I choose a custom website instead of a website builder?
Website builders (Squarespace, Wix, Webflow) are suitable for very small businesses with standard requirements. A custom website is worth the investment when you need: unique functionality that builders can't accommodate; custom integrations with your CRM or ERP; significantly better Core Web Vitals performance; full SEO control; scalability to handle enterprise traffic; or a design that genuinely differentiates you from competitors using the same template.
Will the website rank well in Google search?
Technical SEO is built in to every custom website we deliver — this includes semantic HTML structure, JSON-LD schema markup, sitemap generation, canonical tags, meta tag templates, Core Web Vitals optimisation, and Google Search Console setup. On-page SEO optimisation for your target keywords is available as an additional service through our digital marketing team.
Can we manage website content ourselves after launch?
Yes — all websites include a CMS (WordPress, Strapi, or Contentful depending on the project) that lets your team add pages, update content, change images, and manage blog posts without developer involvement. We provide a training session at handover and written documentation covering all CMS operations.
Will the website work on all browsers and devices?
Yes — we test across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge on desktop; Safari on iOS; and Chrome on Android, covering over 95% of Australian web traffic. We also test on real mobile devices (iPhone and Android) rather than just browser developer tools, as mobile-specific rendering issues often only appear on physical hardware.
How fast will our website load on mobile?
We target a Largest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds and an overall PageSpeed Insights mobile score of 85+ on every project. This is achieved through Next.js server-side rendering or static generation, image optimisation (WebP/AVIF with lazy loading), font subsetting, code splitting, and Cloudflare CDN caching from Australian edge nodes.
Can you redesign our existing website without losing SEO rankings?
Yes — website redesigns include a comprehensive 301 redirect mapping from old URLs to new ones, structured data migration, Google Search Console re-validation, and a pre/post launch ranking comparison. We've successfully migrated dozens of Australian websites without significant organic ranking loss when the redirect and technical SEO work is executed correctly.
Do you provide hosting for websites you build?
Yes — managed website hosting is available from AUD $500/month on Cloudflare + AWS infrastructure. This includes 99.9% uptime SLA, SSL certificate management, daily backups, security monitoring, WordPress or CMS core updates, and a monthly performance report. You can also choose your own hosting provider and we deploy and configure your environment.
What ongoing support do you offer after the website launches?
All projects include 30 days of post-launch support covering bug fixes and minor change requests at no additional cost. Beyond 30 days, website support and maintenance plans from AUD $500/month cover security updates, CMS upgrades, content changes, performance monitoring, and ad-hoc development work at a discounted hourly rate.
