Web Design Brisbane | WordPress Agency
We create high-performing websites that turn leads into customers
We are a Brisbane web design company creating high-quality, SEO optimised websites with high conversion rates. Your website is your most important marketing asset and the basis for attracting and converting new customers. Exceptional website design combined with lean coding through the web development process are key foundations for your success. We focus intensely on SEO, using the latest coding practices, and optimising for the keywords that attract the most profitable leads to your business. When they arrive at your website, its intuitive structure allows them to easily find the information they need, and the elegant design gives them confidence to make an enquiry. The result is more leads and more sales for your business.
The web design process aims to bring your brand to life and create an instant connection with your potential customers. Effective web design makes a strong first impression and then draws the users into the website through engagement with images, movement and content, appealing directly to their wants and needs. Website design goes beyond the obvious visual impression and aims to communicate brand values while encouraging users to explore and engage with your website, ultimately leading them towards a conversion goal.
The web development component will determine the performance of your website. Custom web development allows a website to be created with considerable freedom and flexibility and most importantly, the coding can be optimised to ensure the website load speed is fast while creating the best user experience. To create a lasting performance advantage, custom web development is an essential part of creating a highly competitive website. We specialise in WordPress web development, for both lead generation and ecommerce websites, so we can create the ideal marketing foundation for any business or industry.
At Media Heroes, we’re much more than a leading Brisbane web design company. We look at your digital marketing as a whole and develop highly effective digital strategies to make you money. Your website is the centre of your marketing and absolutely crucial to your success, so it’s essential to get this right.

Attract, engage & convert | Comprehensive web design Brisbane
We’ll take care of every aspect of your website’s design—its structure, content, design, and development—so that it has the best possible chance of success. By nailing every crucial element in a website’s design, we are able to make your website perform to its full potential, so you can race ahead of your competitors.
Developing a new website starts long before the actual design process. Your website, like your business, should be designed around the needs and expectations of your customers. Completing competitor research as part of the website design process helps to generate ideas and an understanding of your current industry standards and to gain inspiration from other industries. However, for your website to be effective, you need to delve a little deeper into what motivates your customers. Once you have clear buyer personas you can view your images, colour palettes, fonts and written language through the lens of your target customers, which is where you gain the most insight.
Creating a website design that looks appealing is relatively easy, but creating an effective marketing and sales tool is a different matter. Our website design process starts by looking at your business objectives and the needs of your customers, along with the marketing strategies you’ll use to attract and convert website visitors, as these factors will all influence the design of your website. We start our web design process with a consultation session, which helps us to understand the role of your website in any marketing strategies and how we can best appeal to your target market and gain an advantage over your competitors. Your website is a foundation for your marketing, so taking the time to get this right at the start can have enormous benefits for you over the long term. The next stage is to create concept designs for the most important pages on your website to allow us to collaborate and share ideas.

Websites and Business Types
Website & business types | web design Brisbane
1. B2C Lead Generation Website Design Brisbane
These businesses are normally consumer-facing service providers and the objective of the website is to generate leads. There is a wide variation in these types of websites and the target markets are diverse, so really understanding the customer is essential. Websites range from home builders to hairdressers, so the design elements of each website are very different, but many will have significant SEO potential, so this is always a big consideration as part of the website design and structure. Commonly, the aim is for the website to appear simple and easy to use while maximising leads from the website.
2. B2B Lead Generation Website Design Brisbane
With a business-facing website, there is often a greater emphasis on sharing knowledge, building trust and focusing on the people behind the business. Although the aim is still to generate leads, the approach is softer as generating the lead is just as important as qualifying the prospects and building their confidence in your products or services. These web design projects often have a big focus on the content marketing side of the website and ensuring that the website works in unison with other sales and marketing channels.
3. Informative / Service-Based Website Design Brisbane
Websites designed primarily to share information or to provide access to services or assistance tend to focus more on the user than other websites. In many cases, multiple users or stakeholders might need to be considered, so there could be different sections of the website with different user journeys. This is common for not-for-profits or education-focused website designs. Creating these types of websites normally requires more upfront work to understand the needs of the different users, which can be gained through workshops or user surveys before the sitemap or design phases can commence.
4. Ecommerce Website Design Brisbane
Ecommerce in nearly every niche has become highly competitive and the design of your website is essential to get right. The web design concepts for ecommerce sites focus on the homepage, product categories and product pages primarily. The same process to understand your ideal customer groups remains, but there is often greater consideration of the style of images you use and your social media campaigns, as these have to work seamlessly together.
The website design and the ecommerce development stages work together, so we can work on the user experience on critical conversion pages such as the shopping cart and checkout. Our ecommerce websites have every crucial feature needed to perform, from easy-to-use navigation menus to powerful pricing setups, so that your online business can grow fast.
We create websites for every business type
Professional Services
Establish credibility and create the right impression with key decision makers. Your website is part of the traditional sales process and a stand alone lead generation source. Focus on education, industry and technical experience combined with a focus on your thought leaders.
Health & Wellness
Providing high quality, clear information is critical to empower your visitors. Make it easy for them to make choices that benefit their health or the health of others. From medical specialists to health organisations the user experience is always central.
Hospitality & Tourism
Create a visual experience for your visitors, so they can see and feel what they’re looking for. Your website is their first touch point, so the user experience, the visual impact and flow of the website are all critical factors for your success. Make it easy for them to choose you.
Construction & Trades
Reputation, trust and expertise are essential factors to establish upfront, along with a clear outline of what you offer. The core website structure aims to be simple, but highly effective and with a focus on conversions to maximise the lead generation from your website.
Retail & Ecommerce
Traditional and ecommerce websites have different conversion goals, but there are many similarities in design. Ecommerce sites complete the whole user journey, so each stage of the buying process needs to be carefully considered.
Website Development
Web development Brisbane | project process overview
When the Media Heroes team completes the planning, design and build of your website, we go well beyond the visual design. While having a highly engaging design is essential, design alone is not enough. The user experience, conversion rate, communication role and organic ranking foundations all need to be incorporated into your website to produce the best long-term results for your business.
At Media Heroes, we ensure all the elements within your website are working at their best to help your business create a significant advantage over your competitors. As a leading web development Brisbane agency, we have a proven methodology to design, develop and launch your new website so you can maximise the returns on your investment.
Step 1: Website Planning
We invest the time to complete a thorough briefing of your business and to explore your goals, customer segments, competitors and challenges together. This shared knowledge helps us to identify the right opportunities for your digital strategy, allowing us to plan your website development as part of the bigger picture for your success. We map out the options for your campaigns and what impact this will have on your website structure, functionality, onsite content, desired user experience, customer targeting and web design, so you can assess all of your options from the beginning.
Step 2: Creative Design Concepts
The web design process starts with your designer researching inspiration websites and sharing a few ideas with you. They’ll ask for your brand assets, or if we’re rebranding, we’ll work with you to create a style guide. Once your web designer is confident about the direction of your design, they’ll create a custom concept design for your homepage. You have the opportunity to share feedback and this is where most of the major changes are made to your website design. Once your homepage is confirmed, your web designer can start working on the other page templates, so normally there will be several web design concepts to view before the web development stages commence. This is a really creative and enjoyable phase of the process and gaining your input early on is really important.
Step 3: Onsite Content
Your content writer will research your business to understand it a little better, and then call you for a chat about the content for each page. It’s crucial that they understand the needs of your target audience, as this allows them to write effective copy that converts customers, so they will ask a variety of questions to find this information.
The number of pages and the length of content is set out in your sitemap—a core part of your overall strategy. The content is planned carefully to fit into each page template, while being worked on by your designer at the same time, so the two collaborate to produce the best possible result.
Once the first drafts of content are completed, your writer will send them to you for feedback, and make any necessary changes. Our goal is to have all of the content written in time for the website’s development, which helps to keep the project moving forward and our deadlines achievable.
Step 4: Web Development & Build
The approved webpage designs can now be coded and combined with your approved onsite content to create your new website. Our team starts by creating a development version of the new website, so we can create everything in a pre-launch development environment. The web development starts with the homepage, headers and footers and universal styling, followed by any other approved page templates. If we’re building custom functionality into your website, such as reviews, project galleries, and ecommerce features, we’ll use a combination of plugins, integrations, and custom code to create the best solution.
All pages from the sitemap will be created and styled with the approved content and imagery, so the build can be completed according to the agreed scope of work. The coding is developed responsively so versions of the website for different screen sizes and orientations are created from the start. We have a big focus on load performance to ensure our websites are fast and can provide the best user experience.
Step 5: Quality Testing & Website Launch
We go through a meticulous testing process to ensure that your website is working well. This includes testing core web vitals, ensuring the site works on various browsers and devices, and that the functionality is working as expected. Once done, we’ll share a development version of the site for your final feedback, before preparing the website for launch. As part of the launch process, our specialist SEO team will complete any redirections to preserve your existing rankings.
Once the site is live, we will conduct another round of post-launch checks in conjunction with you to pick up any additional improvements to the live version. As part of our handover, we’ll run through your WordPress admin access and provide instructions on how to update the website’s content, as well as how to lodge support requests with us going forward. After that, your campaign manager introduces themselves as your main contact, and we can start the journey together to implement your business growth strategies.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Web Development Brisbane
Answers to our most frequently asked questions about Web Development
As with price, the length of the website build depends on the site’s size and complexity. Most websites take anywhere between 4 weeks to 12 weeks to complete depending on the scope of work required. It’s in both our interests to get the website designed and coded as quickly as possible, we can move onto our other projects, and the campaigns we set up for you can start achieving growth more quickly. For this reason, we respond quickly to you throughout the build process, to reduce delays as much as possible.
Our designers, developers, and content writers will work with you throughout the entire design process, allowing you to provide feedback on the website’s design, functionality, and content. We want you to be delighted with your new website, so we involve you in every key stage.
We create websites to meet your business goals, so the cost depends entirely on what you need. Our custom website designs start from as little as $7,500 (+GST), but the average price is between $10,000 to $20,000 (+GST).
Every business has unique goals, which is why we don’t have set prices for our website designs. When pricing a project, we start with your goals and work backwards, because this gives us the most accurate cost estimate for achieving what you want to achieve.
We discourage a focus on price because it’s often a false saving. You can certainly buy a cheap pre-made template website, but while it will save you money in the short term, the website probably won’t deliver the results you want, so you’ll lose in the long-run. In saying that, if you have a limited budget, we can split a project into stages so that you can get the basis of an awesome website, and a plan to extend it once you have afford to.
If you’d like to know more, feel free to book a Discovery Session with one of our web design experts. We’ll explain everything clearly and provide you with a range of options to consider, so we can find the right solution for your business.
To keep your web development project on track, we have specific points where we gain your input and sign off aspects of your design. The first stage is to design your homepage. We spend time discussing what styles you like and plan out the homepage in detail, so when you see the concept design, we aim for it to be as close as possible to the final version.
Having said that, you obviously have the opportunity to provide feedback and we always include one round of design revisions within our standard web development scope. During the project there are additional points for minor design amendments, but once the core design templates are confirmed and the build is underway, changing them later usually involves considerable re-work, so we try to avoid this to keep the project on track. At the end of the day, we work very hard to make sure your web design is amazing and your website is a wonderful representation of your brand. After all, our reputation depends on it.
