Base Build (Standard) Website

Every business is different, but most successful websites follow a layout structure that feels familiar and easy to navigate. We build your homepage around a proven format designed to guide visitors smoothly from first impression to action — highlighting your key message, services, and what sets you apart.

Typical sections include a headline and intro, service highlights, testimonials, image galleries, trust signals, and clear calls to action like contact prompts or enquiry forms.

There’s plenty of flexibility — we can include variations like video sections, team profiles, featured blog posts, or upcoming events, depending on what best suits your business. The result is a homepage that feels intuitive to use and fully aligned with your brand and goals.

We’ll help you refine your keywords and phrases to improve your website’s visibility. This includes adding keywords and descriptions to your meta tags, and applying best SEO practices across titles, menus, images, and more. You simply provide a list of words or phrases that best represent your business, and we’ll fine-tune them for you.

Note: Base SEO setup is included, but first-page rankings on Google require a dedicated SEO service.

Every new website comes with access to your own secure Client Area, where you'll find easy-to-follow video tutorials on how to update and manage your site — no tech skills needed.

We include a few starter lessons tailored to your website, and if there’s something specific you’d like to learn, just ask — we can add custom tutorials to suit. Plus, the YOOtheme builder we use has an extensive library of tutorials available online, giving you extra flexibility to explore and learn at your own pace.

That said, you don’t have to do it all yourself. Our hosting and security package includes one hour of support each year, and most clients simply ask us to handle minor updates for them. If you need more help, flexible support packages are also available.

Your website will include a simple contact or call-to-action form, typically with fields for name, email, subject, and message. All forms are protected by Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam. Form submissions are emailed to both you and your client, and also securely stored on your website for easy access later.

We can work with any hosting provider, but we highly recommend hosting with us. Our servers are optimised specifically for the websites we build, and we monitor performance, backups, and security daily.

With our hosting and security package, if anything ever goes wrong, it's on us to get your site back up and running — quickly and with minimal hassle. From domain setup to launch, everything is taken care of.

You can update your site yourself via YOOtheme PRO’s drag-and-drop builder (powered by YOOtheme PRO) or leave it to us via our support packages.

Right at the top of your homepage, a striking feature banner — also known as a hero section — grabs attention with a bold image or key message. It’s the first thing visitors see, and it’s designed to instantly communicate who you are and what you offer. More than just eye-catching, this section sets the tone for your brand and gently guides users toward taking action, whether that’s exploring your services, getting in touch, or making a purchase.

Your website will look great on any screen — mobile, tablet, or desktop. Every layout is built to adapt smoothly, so visitors get a clean, user-friendly experience no matter what device they’re on.

Responsive design isn’t just about looks — it’s also vital for SEO. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it ranks websites based on how they perform on mobile. A responsive site helps ensure you’re not left behind in search results.

We’ll set up Google Analytics and Search Console for you and connect them to your website — so when you’re ready to dive into SEO or Google Ads, the foundations are already in place. If you already have existing accounts, we’ll add the correct tracking codes to your site. This also includes integrating your Facebook Pixel or any other tracking codes you need.

We don’t enforce hard limits, but for most small businesses, 5 to 10 pages is the ideal fit. Common pages include Home, About, Services, Contact, and sometimes FAQs, Testimonials or Galleries — enough to clearly explain who you are and what you do.

Having a multi-page site (instead of a single long page) also helps with SEO by giving you more room for headings, keywords, and targeted content. It’s great for both users and search engines.

If your website needs more pages, no problem — we’ll simply adjust the quote based on what’s required.

Your website will be actively monitored using optimisation tools to check performance, security, updates, and uptime — helping ensure your site runs smoothly and stays protected around the clock.

If you have social media pages — like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or others — we’ll connect them to your website. Icons can be placed in your header, footer, or contact section so visitors can easily find and follow you.

We can also add share buttons to blog posts or key content pages, making it easy for people to share your content across their own networks — helping you reach a wider audience.

The best websites use real, professional photos that reflect your business. But if you don’t have your own images yet, we’ll supply carefully chosen, fully licensed stock photos to help bring your site to life — at no extra cost.

It’s a simple way to give your site a polished, professional look while you build up your own photo library. And whenever you’re ready, we can easily swap in your own images down the track.

We don’t just fit your business into a pre-made template. At DP Web Design, we create websites as individual as your business itself.

Our designs are guided by your existing logo, company colours, and style guides. If you don’t have these yet, we can help develop a fresh look and feel for you.
The layout is usually selected with input from both you and our team, and then tailored with your branding, colours, and images to create a site that’s truly original.

We’ll add your provided text and images to the site — all part of the standard package. Most clients send through things like their logo, a few photos of their work, and basic details about their services. If you don’t have images, we’ll include high-quality stock photos at no extra charge to get you up and running.

Need help with wording? You can send a rough outline — even dot points or a brochure — and we’ll polish it up using AI (ChatGPT), included at no cost. If you’d prefer a professional copywriter or custom photography, we can quote those services separately.

Your domain name is your unique address on the internet (e.g., yourbusiness.com.au). If you don’t have a domain yet, we'll help you choose the best available option for your business, register it in your name, and handle all the technical setup.

If you already have a domain, we’ll help you link it seamlessly to your new website. Domain registration is typically renewed annually, ensuring continuous ownership and peace of mind.

If you’re already working with us on your logo or website, we can also help with additional branded materials like business cards, brochures, or flyers. This ensures all your marketing collateral has a consistent, professional look that aligns perfectly with your new brand identity and website style.

(Note: Graphic design is typically available as an add-on for existing website and logo design clients.)

Reliable hosting is essential to keeping your website online and secure. Our hosting is specifically optimised for the websites we build, providing fast load times, stable uptime, and daily backups.

This package also includes continuous 24/7 security monitoring and proactive protection against hacking or downtime. Plus, you get one hour of priority support each year to cover minor site tweaks and maintenance.
