Question 1

How much does website design cost in Canberra?

Accepted Answer

A professionally designed small business website in Canberra typically costs between $3,500 and $8,000. A 5-page site for a tradie, consultant, or local service business starts around $3,500-$4,500. More complex sites with booking systems, ecommerce, or custom integrations range from $6,000-$12,000+. We quote a fixed price upfront - no hourly surprises. The quote is itemised so you know exactly what you're paying for. Call or text 0470 601 936 for a rough estimate before booking a discovery call.

Question 2

What makes a website design actually good for SEO?

Accepted Answer

Good SEO design starts before a single pixel is placed. We plan the page structure around what your customers search for - headings are written as answers to real search queries, not just marketing slogans. Technical factors matter too: load time under 2 seconds, clean HTML heading hierarchy (H1→H2→H3), schema markup so Google understands your business, and mobile performance scores above 90. Visual design follows - it's the layer on top of a solid SEO and UX foundation. Most 'pretty' websites fail on Google because they were designed for the client, not the customer.

Question 3

Do you redesign existing websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes - redesigns make up roughly half our work. Before we touch anything, we run a full SEO audit on your current site to identify which pages are ranking, which keywords are driving traffic, and what existing Google equity is worth preserving. We migrate your content carefully to avoid cannibalising rankings. Clients who've had a RadXP redesign typically see a 20-40% increase in organic traffic within 90 days because the new structure is built to rank from day one, not patched for SEO later.

Question 4

How involved will I be in the design process?

Accepted Answer

Very involved - but only at the right moments. We start with a 60-minute discovery session to understand your customers, competitors, and business goals. You'll review and approve the sitemap and wireframes before we write a line of code. Once visual designs are ready, you get two rounds of revision. We use a shared project board so you can see progress in real time and leave feedback without needing to schedule a call. Most clients tell us the process felt much clearer and faster than they expected.

Question 5

Will my website work on mobile phones?

Accepted Answer

Yes - and we test it properly. We design mobile-first, which means the phone layout is designed before desktop, not squeezed down afterwards. We test on real iPhones and Android devices, not just browser emulators. Mobile load time is a Google ranking factor, so we also optimise images, reduce JavaScript, and aim for a sub-2-second load on 4G. Over 70% of visitors to most Canberra small business websites arrive on a phone - a site that's clunky on mobile is losing you enquiries every day.

Question 6

What's the difference between web design and web development?

Accepted Answer

Web design is the visual planning - page layouts, colour choices, typography, and how users move through the site. Web development is the code that makes it work in a browser. Many agencies split these into separate roles (and charge for both separately). At RadXP, the same person plans the design and builds it, which means the design is always realistic to build, and there's no 'lost in translation' gap between what was designed and what goes live. You deal with one team from discovery to launch.
