What My Clients Say...

Wollongong Web Design

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you design websites in Wollongong?

Yes! I’m based in Wollongong and primarily work with businesses throughout the Illawarra region. However, I also take on clients across Australia, as all work can be handled easily via email, phone, or Zoom.

Why should I choose a web designer near me?

Choosing a local web designer means choosing someone who understands your area and your audience — and that’s where I come in.

I know how to optimise your website for local SEO, so you show up when people nearby search for your services. That includes targeting local keywords, setting up your Google Business Profile, and creating location-specific content that gets results.

You’ll also get easier communication, faster support, and someone who genuinely cares about helping your local business grow.

Will my current website experience any downtime during the redesign process?

No. Your existing site will remain active throughout the redesign. When it’s time to launch the new site, there might be a brief downtime of a few minutes while the domain is pointed to the new site, but usually, there’s no downtime at all.

What platform do you use to build websites?

I primarily use WordPress due to its flexibility, extensive plugin options, and user-friendly backend, making website management straightforward.

Will I own my website once it's completed?

Absolutely. Upon project completion, all ownership of the design and related files is transferred to you. Your website will be hosted with your chosen provider, and you’ll have full control over it.

Can I update my website on my own?

Yes! You don’t need to know HTML or purchase special software. The platforms I use offer easy-to-use interfaces, allowing you to manage your site independently.

Do you provide SEO services?

While I’m not an SEO specialist, I implement fundamental SEO practices during the website build. This includes on-page optimization like titles, headings, meta descriptions, and ensuring technical aspects like site speed and mobile responsiveness are addressed.

What makes your pricing competitive?

I like to position my business as a step up from DIY.

My client is someone who has a good idea of what their content needs to be, they need an online presence but don’t have a great amount to spend on it.

To this client I offer the perfect product. 

Are there any additional fees after the design is complete?

There are no ongoing fees from Jem Website Design post-project unless you request additional work or maintenance, which is charged at $90/hour. Regular costs include web hosting and domain registration, billed directly by your chosen providers.

How long does it take to complete a custom web design?

The timeframe varies based on the project’s scope and your responsiveness. Generally, you should allow 3 to 4 weeks for completion.

I already have a design. Can you build it for me?

Yes, I can convert your design files into a top-notch WordPress website, allowing you to update and make content changes whenever you wish.

Why should I choose Jem Website Design over other providers?

I offer high-quality, professional, yet personal service. Working from my home office with minimal overheads allows me to provide affordable web design services. My background in marketing research and consumer behavior helps me create websites that truly resonate with your audience.

Do you offer website packages, and how much do they cost?

Yes. I offer a range of fixed-price packages starting from $990, which includes a professionally designed one-page website. Full multi-page websites start from $1580, and eCommerce sites start from $2220. All packages are customisable depending on your needs.

Are you an Australian Business?

Yes, I am located in Beautiful Wollongong, NSW Australia.
