the dev studio.
Web design in Australia

Websites, stores and apps for Australian businesses, at a fixed price.

We have worked with Australian companies since 2012. Our working day overlaps with yours every afternoon, and the price is agreed before we start.

The Dev Studio works with businesses across Australia, from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and Hobart. We design and build websites and Shopify stores, run SEO and paid ads, and build mobile apps.

Australian customers expect GST-inclusive prices, local payment options such as Afterpay, and a site that loads quickly wherever they are. We build for all three and set up tracking so you can see what brings enquiries and sales.

Cities and areas we work in

  • Sydney
  • Melbourne
  • Brisbane
  • Perth

We work remotely, so anywhere in Australia is covered. Our working day overlaps with Australian afternoons (AEST and AWST), with same-day replies on WhatsApp and email.

GST is 10%. Prices shown to consumers should include GST, and your ABN belongs on invoices and usually on the website. Our own invoices are issued in USD from outside Australia.
Privacy and marketing rules
The Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles cover how personal information is collected and used; the Spam Act requires consent and an unsubscribe link for marketing emails and texts.
Online payments
Cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, PayPal, Afterpay and Zip for instalments, and bank payments with PayID or BPAY.
What customers expect to see
Clear GST-inclusive pricing, delivery times by state, a returns policy that follows Australian Consumer Law, and an accessible site.
