Websites we build
WordPress, WooCommerce and ecommerce websites

WordPress
WordPress websites
Left Bank Design builds custom WordPress websites for businesses in Melbourne and across Australia.
We build with Elementor, so your team can edit pages, add news and update offers without a developer. WordPress runs more than 40% of the world’s websites, so it works with almost every booking, payment and marketing tool. Most WordPress websites take 3 to 8 weeks.
WooCommerce
eCommerce and WooCommerce websites
Our ecommerce websites are built on WooCommerce, the online shop platform for WordPress. See our ecommerce website design service for how we build and connect online stores.
We set up products, shipping, Stripe payments and gift vouchers, and connect the shop to your stock, point of sale or accounting, such as Lightspeed or Xero. As a guide, an ecommerce website in Australia costs $8,500 to $20,000+, depending on products and integrations.
Redesign
Website redesign
A website redesign rebuilds your existing site on a modern WordPress setup.
We review what’s working, keep the pages and rankings worth keeping, set up redirects from old pages to new ones, and fix speed, structure and mobile issues.
Bookings
Booking websites
For accommodation, tours, venues and events, we build websites connected to your booking or property management system, such as Mews or FareHarbor, so customers can check availability and book direct.
Integrations

FAQs
Web design Melbourne questions, answered
Not sure what you need? Ask us and we’ll point you in the right direction.
How much does a WordPress website cost in Melbourne?
A custom WordPress website from Left Bank Design typically costs $4,000 to $10,000+ ex GST, and an online store $8,500 to $20,000+. The price depends on how many pages you need, what the site has to do and which systems it connects to. We give you a fixed quote after a free first chat. Read our guide to website costs.
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most Left Bank Design websites take 3 to 8 weeks from sign-off to launch. A straightforward site with the words and photos ready sits at the shorter end. Larger sites with ecommerce, integrations or lots of pages take longer. We agree a timeline before we start, and having your content ready is the biggest thing that speeds it up.
Do you design websites for businesses outside Melbourne?
Yes. Left Bank Design is based in the Yarra Valley, about 45 km east of Melbourne, and designs websites for businesses right across Australia. Most projects run over Zoom and email, so where you are doesn’t change how we work or what you get.
Why do you build on WordPress?
Left Bank Design builds on WordPress because it’s flexible, well supported and easy for your team to update. It connects with almost every booking, payment, CRM and accounting system, which makes integrations simpler. With the right security and maintenance, it’s a safe platform that can grow with your business.
Can you connect my website to my booking or sales system?
Usually, yes. Left Bank Design has connected websites to booking and property management systems such as Mews, point of sale, payments, HubSpot and email platforms. If your system has an API or a WordPress connector, we can usually make it work, and we’ll tell you up front if it can’t.
Do you design and redesign ecommerce websites?
Yes. Left Bank Design builds new WooCommerce online stores and redesigns existing ones, including gift vouchers, and connects them to your stock, point of sale and accounting systems, such as Lightspeed or Xero. As a guide, an ecommerce website costs $8,500 to $20,000+ ex GST, depending on the number of products and integrations.
Will my website show up in AI search tools like ChatGPT?
It can. AI tools like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews pull their answers from websites that are clear, well structured and trusted. Left Bank Design builds every site with answer-first content, FAQs and structured data, so it has the best chance of being found and quoted. Learn about Search Visibility.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I redesign my website?
Not if the redesign is done properly. Before launch, Left Bank Design maps every old page to its new address and sets up redirects, so Google and your visitors land in the right place. After launch we check Search Console for errors and fix them, so you keep the visibility you’ve built.
Can I update my WordPress website myself?
Yes. Left Bank Design builds in WordPress and Elementor, and we design the back end around how your team will actually use it. We show you how to update pages, photos and blog posts yourself, and we’re on hand if you get stuck.
Is copywriting included in a website build?
No. Copywriting isn’t included in a Left Bank Design website build, and neither are photography, branding or video. You supply the words and images, or we quote for them separately, so you only pay for what you need. Knowing this up front keeps your quote accurate and your launch on time.
Who looks after my website after it launches?
Your website needs regular updates, backups and security checks to stay safe. Left Bank Design’s SiteSafe plans keep WordPress sites secure, updated and backed up daily from $75 a month + GST, with no lock-in contract. You can also look after it yourself if you prefer.
Who owns my website and hosting?
You do, always. When Left Bank Design builds your website, you own it, and your hosting and domain are set up in your name. Nothing is held in our name, so if you ever move to another developer, everything goes with you.
How much does a website redesign cost?
A website redesign from Left Bank Design costs the same as a new build: $4,000 to $10,000+ ex GST for a custom WordPress site, and $8,500 to $20,000+ for an online store. A proper redesign rebuilds the site from the ground up, so it’s faster, more secure and easier for AI and Google to read, and we redirect every old page so you keep your rankings.
