Web design for Essendon and nearby businesses.

People around here search by suburb. Someone on Puckle Street looking for a café doesn’t type “café Melbourne”. They type “café Moonee Ponds”, or they just tap “near me” on their phone. The same is true for a plumber in Niddrie, a clinic in Strathmore or a shop on Mount Alexander Road. If your website only talks about “Melbourne”, you’re leaving those searches to someone who named the suburb.

That’s the first thing I fix for a local business. We work out which suburbs you genuinely serve, say so plainly on the right pages, and make sure your name, area and phone number match everywhere Google looks, including your Google Business Profile. No stuffing a footer with fifty suburb names, just the places you actually work in.

The usual brief is a redesign. The business has a website that looks tired, loads slowly on a phone, or doesn’t clearly say what you do and where. I rebuild it on Wix, keep what already works, and set up redirects so the Google visibility you’ve earned isn’t thrown away.

I also set up local visibility: titles, descriptions and headings written for the searches your customers actually make, a Google Business Profile that matches the website, and an enquiry form or tap-to-call button that people can finish on a phone. After launch I can look after updates, or show you how to change hours, photos and offers yourself.

Trading hours around Moonee Valley move with Cup Week, school holidays, long weekends and the summer and winter swings. Customers check hours online before they leave the house, and a wrong time costs you a walk-in.

I set sites up so hours, notices and seasonal offers sit in one easy spot you can change from your phone. If you’d rather not do it yourself, a care plan covers it. Either way, the Google Business Profile gets the same update so the two never disagree.
