Website redesign for Melbourne small businesses.

A SIX9 redesign uses the same fixed prices as a new website: A$169, A$299 or A$449 once for up to 3, 5 or 8 pages, counted on the new site. Redirect mapping and 301 set-up, moving a large blog or product catalogue, and complex integrations are listed and priced in your written scope, separately from the package. Larger Melbourne agencies usually quote redesigns individually after a discovery stage.

An independent Australian cost guide, updated October 2026, puts a Melbourne redesign that rebuilds ageing custom code at A$15,000–A$60,000, a fresh custom build at A$10,000–A$30,000, and scoped design-and-build work at A$100–A$250 an hour (checked 10 October 2026). Those bands assume a large site with integrations. A small business site of up to 8 pages is a different job: SIX9 Design redesigns it for A$169, A$299 or A$449 once, with redirects and any content migration priced in writing.

Nobody can honestly guarantee rankings through a redesign. What protects them best is keeping useful pages, redirecting every old address that changes to its closest new page, keeping titles and content that already work, and checking everything on launch day. Some movement in the first weeks is normal.

It should not. Email runs on separate DNS records (MX records) from the website. We list every DNS change before launch and leave the email records alone, so your inbox keeps working while the website moves.

Tell us which platform you use and whether staying on it is a requirement. We design and build a new site; if your project needs to stay on an existing platform, we confirm whether that fits before we quote.

No. We can reuse the words and images that still work, and you supply anything new. Copywriting and new photography are not included in website packages.

Most standard websites are ready within 5–7 business days after we receive your content, images, access and project details. Your turnaround starts once we’ve got everything needed to get cracking. The page plan and redirect list are agreed before the build starts.

Once the project is fully paid, the finished website is yours, subject to any third-party platform or licence restrictions.

Yes, as long as the business still controls the domain. Start with the registrar account for the .com.au (the renewal emails show which one); the registrant can recover a lost login with the ABN details on the domain record. Text and images can be taken from the live site, and the new site is built and tested on its own address, so nothing depends on the old developer until DNS is switched.

Yes. The domain stays with your registrar and is simply pointed at the new site at launch. Builders export your text and images, not the design, so we rebuild the pages, agree the redirect list for any address that changes, and keep the old site running until every redirect has been tested. Cancel the builder subscription after that, not before.
