Melbourne web design studio
SIX9 Design (formerly 69Design) is a Melbourne studio that designs and builds custom websites for local businesses, from a three-page tradie site to a full brand launch. Every package has a fixed, published price, and the scope is agreed in writing before any work starts.
Packages
Three fixed prices in Australian dollars, paid once. Pick the size that fits today; you can add pages or move up a package later.
Each industry has its own version of these packages, so a café starts with a menu page and a tradie with service areas and a quote form.

A web design agency in Melbourne can mean anything from a freelancer with a template to a 40-person team. Here is exactly what a SIX9 website package includes, so you can compare like with like.
Most standard websites are ready within 5–7 business days after we receive your content, images, access and project details. Read the full website cost guide for what else a small business website can cost in its first year.
More than a website
A website brings the enquiries in. What happens next is often where a small team loses the most time: replying, quoting, booking, chasing and re-typing the same details into three systems. These services are where a studio that also builds software can help.

Heartful Celebrations is a Melbourne marriage celebrant and MC business. The brief was a warm, editorial website that reflects how the owner works with couples, and a simple way to handle the enquiries it brings in.

Process
Five steps, all online. You always know what happens next, what we need from you and what it costs.
Industries
Every package starts from a page structure built for your kind of business. These are the industries with their own packages today.
Web design company Melbourne
Many low-cost Melbourne websites are a bought theme on a page builder, rented by the month. Ours are designed and coded for your business, which changes what you get and what you pay later.
Victorian details
A few local rules and habits that belong in the page plan. General information, not legal advice.
Where we work
We work with businesses in the CBD and inner suburbs, the growth corridors of the west and north, the east and the south-east, and in regional Victoria. Everything runs online, so where you are shapes the content of your website (the suburbs you name, the customers you write for) rather than the process.
We don’t claim an office in any suburb. The suburb guides below explain what businesses in each area usually need from a website.
Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit, Caroline Springs, Deer Park, Sunshine, Footscray and St Albans: fast-growing estates, multicultural shopping strips, logistics, trades and family services.
Richmond, South Yarra, Hawthorn and Box Hill: dense retail and hospitality strips, studios, clinics and professional services.
Dandenong and Frankston: manufacturing and wholesale, multicultural retail, trades and peninsula tourism.
Coburg, Preston, Reservoir, Essendon, Epping and Craigieburn: independent cafés and shopfronts, professional practices, trades and growth-area services.
Health, disability and insurance agencies, Deakin University and Surf Coast and Bellarine tourism.
Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and Darwin, delivered online.
Affordable web design Melbourne
Published prices are hard to compare because providers include different things. These are starting packages as each provider published them. Several include first-year hosting and a domain; SIX9 prices the design and build only, so add your own domain (a .com.au is typically around A$20–A$40 a year) and hosting to compare first-year totals fairly.
| Provider | Published starting package | What the price includes |
|---|---|---|
| Lime Virtual Studio | $250 · Bronze, 1 page | First-year hosting and a .com or .com.au domain |
| The Cheap Websites | $399.99 · Starter, 1–3 pages | 12 months of hosting and a domain |
| Alta Image | $1,295 · Quick Web Launch, 2–3 pages | Fixed-price build; GST treatment not stated |
| Dynamic Websites | $1,895 inc GST · Starter, 5 pages | Domain and 12 months of hosting; you supply the content |
| White Peak Digital | Around $5,000 · typical starting package | Agency projects quoted after discovery |
| SIX9 Design | A$169 · Launch, up to 3 pages | Design and build only; domain and hosting separate |

No account managers or hand-offs between departments: the person who plans your website is the person who designs and builds it.
SIX9 Design is the trading name of MD Rifat Hasan Rafi (ABN 82 107 588 934), a designer and developer based in Melbourne, Victoria. The studio was previously known as 69Design. Selected design work is published on Behance.
Because the same studio designs brands, builds websites and writes software, a project can grow without changing supplier: start with a website, add a brand, then automate the admin behind it.

Whoever you hire, these five questions separate a good fit from an expensive surprise.

“The team at SIX9design were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. … They brought my website vision to life, exceeded my expectations, and truly captured the heart of Heartful Celebrations …”
“Really happy with my experience with SIX9 Design. The whole process was easy and straightforward. The team was friendly and helpful and they made sure everything was done properly.”
“No compromise with result. … they delivered exactly what I asked for. … Leaving review so others can get benefitted.”
SIX9 website packages are A$169, A$299 and A$449, paid once, for up to 3, 5 and 8 pages. Domain and hosting are separate. Public starting packages from other Melbourne providers we checked on 25 September 2026 ranged from about A$250 to A$1,895, often with first-year hosting included, and larger agencies usually quote from around A$5,000.
Up to three custom responsive pages, a contact form, your supplied content added, page titles and descriptions, SSL setup where supported, one consolidated revision round and launch assistance. Domain registration and hosting are paid separately.
Because the scope is small and fixed. You supply the words and images, the page structure is already planned for your industry, feedback is grouped into set revision rounds and everything runs online. You get a custom design, not a template, but not an open-ended agency project either.
Most standard websites are ready within 5–7 business days after we receive your content, images, access and project details. Brand Launch, AI automation and custom software get a timeline in the written scope.
No. Briefing, feedback, approvals and handover happen by video call, phone, email and shared documents, so the process is the same in Werribee, Box Hill or Frankston. A call can be arranged whenever it helps.
Copywriting isn't included in the package price: you supply the text and images, and we shape them into clear pages. If you need help with the wording, mention it in your brief and we'll quote it separately before any work starts.
Every website is built with crawlable pages, unique titles and descriptions and a sensible structure, and Growth and Advanced add on-page SEO, a sitemap and performance checks. We don't sell ongoing SEO campaigns or Google Ads management.
Once the project is fully paid, the finished website is yours, subject to any third-party platform or licence restrictions.
Yes. The same online process works across Geelong and regional Victoria, every other state and territory, and for clients in the United States and Canada.
Yes. SIX9 Design is the current name and 69Design is the former name and domain. Both refer to the same Melbourne studio, ABN 82 107 588 934.
