Web Development Melbourne: Custom Websites, Web Apps and Integrations

Web design decides how a site looks. Web development is what happens when it has to do something: take a booking, check stock, log a member in, send a lead to your CRM. Our Melbourne developers write that code in-house, and you own all of it at the end.

Quick answer

Graphica Pro Artistry is a Melbourne web development team in Broadmeadows building custom websites, web apps, client portals and integrations in React, Next.js, Laravel and WordPress. Custom builds and web apps start from $7,500 and are quoted in writing after a short brief; standard business websites start at $499.

What our Melbourne web developers build

  • Custom websites in React and Next.js that load fast on a phone and give Google clean, crawlable pages.
  • Web apps and booking systems: availability, payments, memberships, staff rosters and admin dashboards.
  • Client and staff portals with logins, document upload, job tracking and role-based access.
  • Integrations with the tools you already pay for: Xero, MYOB, HubSpot, Stripe, Square, booking and CRM software with an API.
  • WordPress builds with custom themes and fields, for teams that want to edit content themselves.
  • Rebuilds of slow, plugin-heavy sites, with every old URL redirected so existing rankings carry over.

Web development or web design: which do you need?

If your website mainly needs to explain what you do and get people to call, that is a web design job, and our web design packages from $499 cover it. If the site has to calculate a quote, hold accounts, take payments for something more complex than a product, or exchange data with another system, it is a development job and needs to be scoped properly before anyone gives you a price.

Many projects are a mix of both. We design and develop in the same team in Broadmeadows, so the design you approve is the one that gets built, and nobody has to translate between an agency and a separate developer.

How a development project runs

  • A discovery session at our Broadmeadows studio or on a call, to map what the system has to do and who uses it.
  • A written scope and fixed quote, split into milestones you pay against as they are delivered.
  • A staging link you can click through every week, so you see working software rather than slides.
  • Launch with analytics, Search Console, redirects, backups and uptime checks in place.
  • Handover of the code repository, hosting and domain accounts in your business's name.

Why the stack matters for Google

Next.js renders each page as finished HTML before it reaches the browser, so Google reads the same content your customers see and Core Web Vitals stay in the green without a pile of speed plugins. That is the same approach behind this website. Where WordPress or Shopify is the better fit for your budget or your team, we will say so instead of over-building.
