Honest positioning

No Sydney office — and when that matters.

We do not have a Sydney office. That is deliberate. City-office overhead usually means junior staff on delivery while seniors sell. We keep senior people on your project, run discovery and handover on video, and do not charge travel. Choose a local agency instead if you need weekly in-person workshops, on-site photography or video production, or a team that can sit in your boardroom every fortnight.

Sydney market

What the commercial web landscape actually looks like.

Sydney commercial demand clusters around the CBD and Barangaroo (finance, legal, corporate), North Sydney and Macquarie Park (tech and pharma HQs), Parramatta (government, health and the second CBD), and Western Sydney (trades, logistics and manufacturing). Buyers here are used to polished pitches and compare three to five providers before shortlisting. Quotes for a mid-size business site commonly land between $8,000 and $40,000 depending on CMS depth and migration risk; freelancers undercut that but often skip redirect maps and accessibility. The recurring web problem is not “looking modern” — it is explaining a complex offer fast enough on mobile that a time-poor prospect still enquires, without burning years of indexed SEO during a redesign.

Buyer context

What the website needs to account for.

01

High-value enquiries need qualification

Professional and B2B buyers want fit, capability and process answered before they book a call. Vague hero copy wastes expensive traffic.

02

Distinct markets under one metro brand

CBD, North Shore and Western Sydney audiences use different proof and language. We only create location content where you genuinely serve that buyer.

03

Redesigns carry SEO debt

Established Sydney sites often have years of indexed URLs. We inventory priority pages, map 301s and check Search Console coverage after launch.

Fit check

Who we are — and are not — for.

You're a good fit if…

  • You need a 5–30 page site or redesign with clear scope and AUD pricing
  • Your buyers research online before contacting sales or a practice manager
  • You can approve work asynchronously with video workshops and Loom reviews
  • You want domain, hosting, analytics and CMS accounts in your organisation’s name

We're probably not right if…

  • You need a site live in under two weeks
  • Your budget is under $5,000 for custom design and development
  • You require weekly in-person meetings in Sydney CBD
  • You want us to own your domain and hosting accounts long-term
Pricing

Indicative AUD bands for Sydney projects.

EngagementIndicative AUD (ex GST)
Small business site (5–10 pages, CMS)$6,000 – $12,000 AUD
Custom business site (15–30 pages)$12,000 – $30,000 AUD
Website redesign + SEO-safe migration$10,000 – $25,000 AUD
Ecommerce build$15,000 – $60,000 AUD
SaaS / product design engagementFrom $20,000 AUD
Custom software / portalFrom $30,000 AUD
Ongoing support & careFrom $400 AUD/month

Most Australian small businesses expect around $3,000–$4,000 AUD for a website; professional custom work realistically runs $6,000–$25,000 AUD because scope covers strategy, design systems, CMS fields, accessibility, tracking and a documented handover — not a theme install. Indicative only — final scope is quoted after discovery.

Timezone

Working rhythm for Sydney.

Sydney runs on AEST (UTC+10) and AEDT (UTC+11) during daylight saving. We schedule reviews for east-coast business hours and keep decisions in writing so deploy windows stay predictable across NSW.

Remote delivery

How projects actually run.

  • Discovery workshop over video with a written scope document
  • Staging link available from early in the build
  • Async Loom reviews instead of status meetings for every iteration
  • CMS handover session recorded for your team
  • Domain, hosting, analytics and CMS created in your name
Service areas

Plan local content around genuine coverage.

Coverage can include Sydney CBD, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Parramatta, Western Sydney and wider NSW when those areas match how you actually sell. We do not publish near-identical suburb doorway pages.

FAQ

Sydney FAQ

No. Devoq is remote-first across Australia. Sydney projects run online with the same senior people who scoped the work — without city-office overhead or a travel surcharge.

Indicative bands: $6,000–$12,000 for a small CMS site, $12,000–$30,000 for a larger custom build, and $10,000–$25,000 for an SEO-safe redesign. Final quotes follow discovery and are always in AUD ex GST.

Yes — we inventory URLs, map 301 redirects, audit canonicals, crawl staging and monitor Search Console index coverage for about 30 days after launch. Rankings are never guaranteed, but migration risk is planned.

Yes, when those areas match your real service coverage. We structure content for government, health and trade buyers in those markets rather than copying CBD messaging wholesale.

Yes. Capability pages, clear process copy and privacy-aware forms usually matter more than a Pitt Street address. If you need weekly face-to-face workshops, a local firm is the better fit.

When CMS editing is in scope, we build fields your team can use and include agreed training or recorded handover. You are not locked into Devoq for routine content changes.
