Welcome to De Santis Creative,
Mind to Matter:
For businesses serious about winning online, a new professional website typically ranges from $5,000 to $30,000. That investment covers the full build: planning, custom design, development, mobile optimisation, on-page technical SEO and AI engine optimisation, speed optimisation and post-launch testing, so your site is built to drive real business growth and deliver long-term value, not just look good on launch day.
Whether you’re a startup or an established brand, we have flexible options to suit every budget. We work on a time basis but always quote a fixed project fee against an agreed scope of work, so you know exactly what to expect from the start, with complete transparency and no surprises down the line.
Most business websites take approximately four to eight weeks from the initial project kickoff through to launch.
The exact timeframe depends on the size of the website, the complexity of the functionality and how quickly content, feedback and approvals are provided.
At the beginning of the project, we establish clear stages, responsibilities and realistic timeframes so everyone knows what is happening and what is required to keep the project moving.
A template website starts with a pre-designed layout that is adapted to fit your business. This can be suitable for very small budgets, but it often limits how effectively the website can represent your brand, organise your content or grow with your business.
A custom website is designed around your brand, audience, services and commercial goals.
We consider how your customers search, what information they need, what builds trust and what action you want them to take. The design, content structure and user experience are then developed around those requirements rather than forcing your business into a generic layout.
Most of our business websites are built using WordPress because it is flexible, scalable and easy for clients to manage.
Depending on the project, we can also integrate ecommerce, booking systems, forms, customer portals, analytics, marketing platforms and other third-party tools.
We recommend the platform and setup that best suits your business rather than pushing unnecessary technology or locking you into a proprietary system.
No. We work with businesses across a wide range of industries, including construction, infrastructure, property, professional services, manufacturing, trades, hospitality, health, fitness and retail.
Different industries require different approaches.
A construction or infrastructure company may need to communicate capability, safety, experience and major project delivery. A professional services business may need to demonstrate expertise and credibility. A hospitality or retail brand may need stronger visual storytelling and a simpler path to booking or purchasing.
We take the time to understand your market, customers, competitors and business goals before determining the right creative direction.
De Santis Creative is based in Sydney’s, Macarthur region, but we work with businesses across Australia.
Projects can be managed efficiently through phone calls, video meetings, email and shared online platforms. Where photography, video production or face-to-face workshops are required, we can discuss the most practical approach for your location.
The quality of the working relationship matters far more than being in the same suburb.
Yes. Every website we create is designed to work across mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers.
Mobile is considered throughout the design process, not treated as an adjustment at the end. We review layouts, navigation, text sizing, image behaviour, buttons, forms and page speed across a range of screen sizes before launch.
The goal is to make the website clear, professional and easy to use regardless of how someone accesses it.
A redesign is worth considering when your website no longer reflects the quality, capability or direction of your business.
Common warning signs include:
A redesign does not always mean throwing everything away. In some cases, the existing content or structure can be retained and improved. We assess what is working, what is holding the site back and where your budget will create the greatest impact.
Yes. We build websites with a clear and manageable backend so you can make routine changes without needing to contact a developer every time.
Depending on the website, your team can update text, replace images, publish news or project updates, add team members and make other common changes.
We can also provide a handover or training session so you understand how the website works. For clients who would rather not manage it themselves, ongoing support is available.
Yes. We can help plan, write and refine the content required for your website.
This can include brand messaging, service pages, company profiles, project descriptions, calls to action, headings, case studies, SEO-focused content and general copy editing.
We can work from information you provide, improve existing copy or develop the content structure and messaging with you from the beginning.
Because we also provide branding, photography, video and graphic design, we can create a more consistent result across the entire website rather than treating the words, visuals and design as separate pieces.
Yes. De Santis Creative provides branding, graphic design, photography, videography, campaign creative and content services alongside website design.
This means we can help create or refine the visual assets needed to properly present your business, including logos, brand systems, team photography, project imagery, video, diagrams, brochures and social media content.
These services can be included within the website project or quoted separately depending on what you need.
Yes. We can design and build ecommerce websites for businesses selling products or services online.
The appropriate solution depends on your product range, payment requirements, shipping structure, inventory management and the systems your business already uses.
Before recommending a platform or approach, we look at how the store needs to operate for both your customers and your internal team.
Yes. We can continue supporting your website after launch through maintenance, updates, troubleshooting, content changes and ongoing improvements.
Support can include software updates, backups, security monitoring, performance checks, new pages, design changes, campaign landing pages and general website assistance.
We can also provide ongoing creative and marketing support across graphic design, content, social media, photography, video and campaign development.
You are not locked into unnecessary services. We can establish an ongoing arrangement or provide support when required.
