Serving Melbourne, VIC & surrounds

Melbourne, VIC businesses face a sharp mix of competitors: dense café and retail strips, professional suites in the CBD, warehouse and light-industrial operators, and strata-based home services that need trust signals online. I design for those real constraints—not generic national templates. Clients in areas such as Melbourne, VIC often need the same core outcome: a site that feels local, loads before the tram stops, and makes the next step obvious.

• High-street and hospitality operators who need menu, booking, or location clarity above the fold
• Professional and creative studios juggling portfolio depth with fast enquiry paths during peak seasons
• Remote-first delivery with optional scheduled on-site reviews across metro Melbourne when stakeholder workshops help

My Process

1. Step 1: Discovery & audit - I review analytics, heatmaps if available, competitor patterns, and your current pain points so redesign decisions are evidence-led
2. Step 2: Information architecture & wireframes - We lock page priorities, CTAs, and mobile flows before polish so revisions stay cheap
3. Step 3: Visual system & build - Design system, responsive components, content migration, and performance passes in a staging environment
4. Step 4: QA, launch & handoff - Cross-browser checks, redirect map, analytics verification, training, and a clear support path

Expert Insights: What Most People Get Wrong

Based on 8+ years of redesign work, here are the critical mistakes I see clients make—and how I fix them:

• Hero videos that murder mobile LCP - Many Melbourne hospitality and studio sites autoplay a 4–8MB hero. On a Collins Street lunch-break 4G hop, Largest Contentful Paint often sits past 4.5s and bounce spikes. I swap to a compressed still or short muted loop under ~200KB, preload the LCP image, and reserve space to stop layout shift—typically cutting LCP by 40–60% without losing brand feel.
• Navigation that mirrors org charts, not customer jobs - Drop-downs with eight equal-weight items force visitors to think. I rewrite IA around primary jobs-to-be-done (book, get quote, view work, find location) and demote internal departments. Common client feedback after launch: "people finally stop calling just to ask what we do."
• Ignoring form friction psychology - Multi-field contact forms on service pages drop completion. I use progressive fields, smart defaults (suburb/postcode helpers for Melbourne metro), and single primary CTA colour contrast of at least 4.5:1. On redesigns this routinely lifts enquiry rate without more ad spend.
• Shipping "pretty" without a component inventory - One-off section designs look fine in Figma then collapse when marketing adds a new offer. I build reusable cards, pricing blocks, and FAQ accordions with documented spacing tokens so your next campaign page stays on-brand in half a day.

When you hire me, you get all this expertise applied directly to YOUR project—saving you time, money, and headaches.
