Our process
1. design briefing
You will receive a Design Brief form to fill out. This form aids our designers in grasping your desired aesthetics and understanding your business, its products, and services.
2. initial draft
We use the insights gathered from the Design Brief and any prior discussions to invest 1 to 3 weeks crafting an Initial Draft of your website. During this period, we will engage in comprehensive research, sketch mockups, construct wireframes and conceptualise the design style. Once created, we will share the Initial Draft with you via email, inviting your feedback on the overall design direction, ensuring alignment before we commence the full website development.
3. live demo
Following your approval of the Initial Draft, our team will diligently proceed with website design and development, a process that typically spans 2 to 3 weeks. During this phase, we'll undertake the comprehensive creation of all web pages, integration of content, establishment of button links, configuration of contact forms, rigorous functionality testing, and meticulous formatting for compatibility across various devices. Once completed, we'll promptly share the Live Demo link via email, allowing you to preview your website.
4. review, publish + handover
Once you are fully content with the website, we will finalise the SEO requirements and commence the publishing phase. Upon successful publication, you will receive a welcome email, accompanied by comprehensive onboarding documentation and tutorials to empower you in accessing your new website. With your revamped online presence, attracting more visitors to your brand and catalysing your growth becomes effortless!

Working with GAZE to design our packaging labels was hands down the best decision we made. Rochelle went above and beyond to make sure the printed designs turned out perfectly and explained things along the way that we hadn't considered (screen printing vs label printing, eyemarks, regulatory additions, the list goes on!). Communication and turnaround times were so fast, the entire project was just a breath of fresh air compared to other service providers we've come across. I'll recommend Gaze to everyone who needs a graphic designer.

Rochelle is much more than a graphic designer; she possesses a complete understanding of marketing and project management. On a daily basis, she leads our team on all matters related to packaging, branding, web design, and more.

I had the pleasure to work with Rochelle Tyson for 5 years as a graphic designer. Rochelle is a very talented designer, she writes copy well and is a pleasure to work with. Always on the job and does things in very good time, with great attention to detail and creativity. She always interpreted my ideas into design, with much better ideas than my brief.

What do I need to do to start a website?
What You Will Need To Do:
Come Up With A Business Name
This seemingly straightforward step can sometimes be one of the most challenging aspects. While it doesn't involve a lot of work, it does necessitate making a tough creative decision.
Purchase A Domain Name
A domain name serves as your website's online address, allowing internet users to access your site by typing it into their browser's URL bar. When selecting a domain name, it's essential to consider more than just its sound. During the brainstorming process, it's advisable to simultaneously check for available domain names. While it's not mandatory to register the exact domain name you desire for your website, aligning the two can significantly enhance the ease with which repeat visitors rediscover your site. Therefore, it's valuable to craft an original name that enables you to secure the .com, .com.au or .au domain without resorting to unconventional spellings.
You don't need to have a domain purchased prior to purchasing a website with us. However, you will have to purchase a domain in order to get your website published. We recommend GoDaddy as a domain provider.
What We Do For You:
Website Design & Development
At GAZE, we specialize in the design and development of custom websites that are meticulously tailored to suit the unique needs and aspirations of our clients. Whether you require a sleek and modern design, intricate functionality, or e-commerce capabilities, we work closely with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring that your website stands out in the digital landscape and drives meaningful results for your business.
Web Hosting
When you purchase a website package through gaze, your website will be hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the industry’s most trusted and secure cloud-based solutions. There is no limit to bandwidth or storage.
OPTIONAL
Logo/Brand Design & Development
At GAZE, we excel as brand specialists. Our expertise lies in crafting cohesive and compelling logos and branding elements that strengthen your presence, both in the digital realm and beyond. This strategic approach not only builds customer trust but also enhances retention, ensuring a lasting impact.
-
How much does it cost?
At GAZE, we offer affordable and competitive pricing that has been customised to suit your exact business needs.
-
How long does it take for you to build my website?
In general, we aim to produce our websites according to the following timeines:
1 - 6 Pages | 4 - 6 week turnaround
6 - 8 Pages | 6 - 8 week turnaround
8 - 12 Pages | 8 - 12 week turnaround
These timelines, however, are subject to several factors. Our primary objective is to alleviate the workload for you, yet we are equally committed to crafting a website that impeccably aligns with your business vision and objectives. To achieve this, we will engage with you at various points during the design and development process to ensure we are meeting your evolving needs. If you are a new business, you may still be in the process of setting up essentials such as email addresses and contact numbers. The prompt receipt of necessary information from your end can also influence the project turnaround time.
-
Once my website is finished, will I have access to it?
Absolutely. Once you are fully content with the website, we will finalise the SEO requirements and commence the publishing phase. Upon successful publication, you will receive a welcome email, accompanied by comprehensive onboarding documentation to empower you in accessing your new website.
-
Will I be able to edit my own website in the future?
Unlike many other web agencies that create a scenario where clients must repeatedly engage with them for changes, resulting in additional costs, we empower our clients with the ability to access and modify their websites whenever needed. Upon project completion, you will receive comprehensive onboarding documentation, equipping you with the resources to make adjustments as you see fit.
We do advise against attempting major website alterations independently. For significant changes, we recommend reaching out to us for professional assistance. Nevertheless, for tasks such as text modifications, image replacements, blog writing, and shop management, these can all be easily handled by you, providing you with full control over your business operations.
-
How are you different to other agencies?
We are a dynamic and close-knit team of creatives driven by a deep passion for empowering small businesses and positioning them for success. Rooted in entrepreneurial spirit and guided by marketing-driven strategies, our approach is an ideal fit for those seeking a genuine partnership with an agency that is deeply committed to your success, from the very outset and well into the future. Our accessibility and willingness to assist make us readily available for all your needs.

What fees do I have to pay monthly?
The only ongoing fees you will need to pay once your website build has been paid in full is for hosting.
Web hosting is essentially what keeps your website online. So in order for your customers to find you, you will need to continue paying for the online visibility.

Can't I just DIY my own website through something like WIX?
When considering the creation of a website as a new business owner with limited budget, the notion of building a website for free through DIY website builders like Wix, Squarespace, or Weebly may seem appealing. These platforms advertise the ability to construct a website at a fraction of the cost of a professionally developed one. However, it's essential to recognize that opting for the DIY website route may not be the most advantageous decision.
In the realm of websites, the concept of "you get what you pay for" applies. While a professionally developed website may entail a higher initial investment, it represents a valuable long-term asset for your business. Conversely, relying on a DIY website builder can lead to several issues down the road.
1. Lack of Distinctiveness and Brand Alignment
DIY platforms typically employ generic website templates, resulting in uniform navigation structures, styles, and layouts across websites created on the same platform. This lack of customisation means your website may appear similar to countless others created using the same DIY website builder. To build a robust brand identity, your website requires extensive customisation. This includes aligning color schemes with your brand, prominently featuring your logo in strategic locations, and organising content to effectively convey your brand story. Achieving these goals without a professional can be challenging.
2. Bad Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
An effective website should rank well on search engines, particularly Google. When using DIY website builders, often you won't know where to look and how to best optimise your content. Well-written content that resonates with your audience and appeals to search engines is best created by marketing professionals who understand both your target audience and SEO techniques.
3. Subpar Content
Compelling visual content is crucial for a successful website. Custom content serves multiple purposes: it conveys your brand story, establishes you as an authority in your field, and enhances search engine rankings. DIY website builders will not always have stock images available and if they do, you won't have the professional ability to adjust the content to most captivate your target audience.
4. Lack of Mobile-Friendly Design
With mobile devices accounting for more than 50% of global web traffic (even higher when including tablets), it is imperative that your website offers a positive user experience on mobile devices. When you use a DIY website builder, you’ll be responsible for optimising your wbesite for multiple devices by yourself. This takes a tremendous amount of time. In addition, it requires a specific technique. Lack of mobile-friendliness not only hinders user experience but also negatively impacts search engine rankings as Google penalizes non-mobile-friendly websites.
5. Limited Customer Support
Websites can experience glitches, including downtime, error messages, display issues, slow loading times, or malfunctioning elements. Resolving such issues often requires assistance from knowledgeable customer support experts. DIY website builder customer support services are typically limited, making it challenging to address and rectify issues promptly.
In conclusion, investing in a custom website through GAZE offers a more effective and sustainable solution for establishing a strong online presence and achieving long-term success for your business.
