Geelong · Surf Coast · Bellarine

Web design for Geelong businesses.

Custom, fixed-price websites for businesses in Geelong, on the Surf Coast and across the Bellarine, from a Melbourne studio an hour up the road. Choose a package, send your brief online and get the scope and total in writing before any work starts.

SIX9 Design is based in Melbourne and works with Geelong businesses online. We don’t claim a Geelong office.

The Geelong economy

Geelong is not a smaller Melbourne

Its business mix is its own, and a Geelong website should be written for it.

Over the last decade Geelong has changed from a manufacturing town into a centre for health, education, insurance and public administration. The National Disability Insurance Agency, WorkSafe Victoria and the Transport Accident Commission all have their headquarters in the city, Barwon Health runs University Hospital Geelong, and Deakin University has campuses at Waurn Ponds and on the waterfront. In 2017 Geelong was named a UNESCO City of Design.

That concentration shows up in the small-business market. Geelong has a large number of disability support, allied health, rehabilitation and return-to-work providers, many of them small teams who depend on referrals from support coordinators, case managers and GPs. Their websites have to be clear, accessible and accurate about registrations and service areas, because the people referring to them check.

Around them sits everything a growing regional city needs: trades and builders working in new estates from Armstrong Creek to Lara, professional services in the CBD, hospitality along the waterfront and Pakington Street, and advanced manufacturing that has replaced much of the old industrial base.

Surf Coast and Bellarine

Tourism businesses on the coast

South and east of the city, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine run on visitors, and their websites have a different job.

Torquay is the start of the Great Ocean Road and the home of Australian surf brands; the Bellarine has wineries, Queenscliff, Portarlington and the ferry to Sorrento. Businesses here are found by people planning a day trip or a weekend from Melbourne, often on a phone. They need to see what is open, what it costs, what to book ahead and how to get there, and they decide quickly.

Seasonality is the detail most coastal websites get wrong. Summer hours, school-holiday programmes, winter closures and event weekends need one clearly dated place on the site, and someone responsible for keeping it current.

  • Opening hours by season, with closures dated
  • Bookings for tables, tours, lessons or stays linked to the tool you already use
  • Directions and parking from the Geelong ring road, the Great Ocean Road or the ferry
  • Photos that show the place as it really is, in every season

NDIS and health

Websites for the people who refer to you

For many Geelong providers, the reader who matters most is not the participant but the support coordinator, case manager or GP deciding where to refer.

  1. Say exactly what you provide
    List supports and services in plain language, with who they are for and where you deliver them.
  2. State registration accurately
    Registered or unregistered, which registration groups, which funding types you accept. Never “NDIS-compliant”.
  3. Make referral easy
    A short referral form or a clear email and phone path, with what information to include.
  4. Build accessibility in
    Readable type, clear headings, labelled forms and good contrast. See the NDIS provider website checklist.

Working together

How a Geelong project runs

Distance

About 75 km from Melbourne, roughly an hour by car on the Princes Freeway or by V/Line from Southern Cross.

Time zone

The same as Melbourne all year, so calls, reviews and launch day fall in the same working hours.

How we work

Briefing, feedback, approvals and handover happen online. A video call can be arranged whenever it helps.

  1. Send your brief online
    Choose a package and tell us about your services, customers and the areas you cover. No payment is taken with your brief. Start a brief.
  2. Scope and total in writing
    We confirm pages, inclusions, timeline and the total before any work starts.
  3. Design, build and review
    Most standard websites are ready 5–7 business days after we have your content, followed by your consolidated revision rounds.
  4. Launch and hand over
    We help you go live and hand over access. Once the project is paid, the website is yours.

Do you have an office in Geelong?

No. SIX9 Design is a Melbourne studio. Geelong projects run online, by video call, phone, email and shared documents, the same way our Melbourne projects do.

How much does a website cost for a Geelong business?

A$169, A$299 or A$449, paid once, for up to 3, 5 or 8 pages, the same as in Melbourne. Domain and hosting are separate. Brand Launch, with a logo, website and first-year domain and hosting, starts at A$599.

Do you build websites for NDIS providers in Geelong?

Yes. NDIS provider websites explain supports in plain language, state your registration status accurately, list the areas you cover and give support coordinators an easy referral form. We never describe a website as NDIS-compliant.

Can you help a Surf Coast or Bellarine business with seasonal trade?

Yes. We plan one clearly dated place for seasonal hours, closures and specials, and link bookings to the tool you already use, so visitors planning a trip see what is open before they drive down.

Should my website target Geelong or the towns I actually serve?

Both, honestly. Name Geelong and the suburbs or towns you genuinely cover, such as Belmont, Waurn Ponds, Lara, Torquay, Ocean Grove or Drysdale, in one service-area section. A thin page for every town rarely helps customers or rankings.

Is Geelong close enough for a Melbourne studio to understand the market?

Geelong is about 75 km from Melbourne and shares its time zone, and many Geelong businesses already work with Melbourne customers and suppliers. What matters more is that your website is written for your Geelong customers, which is why the brief asks who they are and where you work.
