Slow pages that lose visitors

Questions worth asking any provider, including us.
Look at speed, not only design
Ask for performance results from previous sites on mobile. Budget for this in AUD before you compare quotes in South Australia.

Prices vary by project. These are the factors that move a quote up or down, so you can plan and compare offers fairly.

Hosted builders cost less to start; custom stacks cost more but offer control and speed. For a South Australia company, the local angle is GST and the expectations of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and ASIC.
Number and type of pages
A ten-page brochure site differs greatly from a catalogue with hundreds of product pages. Teams in Adelaide usually raise this in the first call.
Features and integrations
Booking, payments, multi-language and CRM integration each add build and test time. We see this regularly with defence and shipbuilding businesses in Adelaide and Mount Gambier.
