Why DRA Digital?
Website experience beyond the design
I've been building websites and managing web hosting for over 15 years, from simple personal and small business websites to large, content-heavy sites featuring destinations, events and regularly updated information. That experience includes building, maintaining and managing websites as their needs change.
A website built around what you need
Your website should explain what you offer, be easy to navigate and make it straightforward for visitors to contact you or take the next step.
Whether you need a single page or a larger business website, I'll help you work out the right structure without adding features you don't need.
You deal directly with me
When you have a question or need support, your request comes straight to me. No overseas call centres, no chatbots and no being passed around. You deal directly with the person building your website.
Recent website work
A few websites I've built
Examples of WordPress websites I've built for Australian businesses and organisations.
Grassroots Distilling
WordPress website for a craft distillery, featuring product information and the story behind the business.
Stanhope Gardens and Lawns
Local service business website with information about services, customer testimonials and contact options.
Blackout Theatre
Website for a community theatre company, featuring productions, events and booking information.
Website packages
Four WordPress website packages, from a simple one-page site to a more detailed business website. Each includes an initial period of website hosting.
One Page Website
Ideal for simple websites that don't need multiple pages. Suitable for personal websites, blog introductions, landing pages, promotions, portfolios and basic business information.
Everything is presented on one page, giving visitors a clear introduction and an easy way to find out more or get in touch.
Starter Website
Ideal for sole traders, freelancers and small businesses that need more than a single page. A Starter Website gives you space to introduce your business, explain your services and make it easy for customers to get in touch.
With up to three pages, you can separate your main information into clear sections, such as Home, About and Contact, or use the pages to highlight your most important services. It's a good starting point for establishing a professional online presence without needing a larger website.
Business Website
For tradies, community groups and established small businesses that need dedicated pages for their services, previous work, business information and customer enquiries.
With up to five pages, there's room to give important services their own space rather than squeezing everything onto the homepage.
Business Plus Website
For businesses that need a larger website with more detailed service information, multiple locations, projects, photo galleries, reviews or FAQs. With up to ten pages, you can organise more information without making the website difficult to navigate.
Not sure which package suits you? Tell me what you're planning and I'll help you work out the right starting point. If you need something outside these packages, I can provide a separate quote.

How it works
How does the website design process work?
You don't need to know how to build a website. We'll work through the requirements together, from the first conversation to launch.
Tell me what you need
We discuss your business, your goals and the type of website you're looking for.
Plan the website
We work out the pages, content, images and features needed before the build begins.
Build and review
I build the WordPress website and you have an opportunity to review it and request agreed changes.
Launch
Once the website is approved, we complete the final checks and get it ready to go live.
You'll generally need to provide your business details, logo if you have one, and any text or photographs you want included. If you're unsure what you need, we can discuss that before work begins.
Need something bigger or more custom?
Not every website fits into a standard package. I also build larger WordPress websites, directories, WooCommerce stores, booking systems and websites with custom features.
If your project needs something more specialised, tell me what you're planning. I'll discuss the requirements with you and provide a quote based on the work involved.
Frequently asked questions
WordPress website design FAQs
How much does a WordPress website cost in Australia?
My WordPress website packages start from $250 for a one-page website. A Starter Website starts from $500, a Business Website costs $800 and a Business Plus Website costs $1,800. If you need an online store, a directory or features outside these packages, I'll discuss the requirements with you and provide a separate quote.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
The timeframe depends on the number of pages, the features you need and whether your text and images are ready. A simple one-page website generally takes less time than a larger business website. I'll discuss the expected timeframe with you before work begins, so you know what to expect for your particular project.
What happens when the included hosting period ends?
Each website package includes an initial hosting period of between one and twelve months. Before that period ends, I'll explain the available ongoing hosting options and their costs. Hosting after the included period is a separate service, so you'll have the information you need to decide how to proceed.
Can you redesign my existing WordPress website?
Yes. I can help redesign an existing WordPress website, improve its layout, update content and investigate usability issues. I'll first look at your current website and discuss what you want to change. Redesign projects are assessed individually because the work involved can vary considerably.
Do you build WooCommerce online stores?
Yes. I build WooCommerce websites for businesses that want to sell products online. The scope depends on your products, payment methods, shipping requirements and any additional features you need. Online stores are quoted separately rather than included in the standard website packages.
Do I own my website?
Website ownership and access are important things to understand before starting a project. I'll explain the arrangements for your WordPress website, domain name, hosting and any third-party software or licences before work begins, so you know what's included and how everything is managed.
What do I need to provide for my new website?
I'll generally need your business details, contact information, logo if you have one, and the text and photographs you'd like to use. We can discuss the pages and features during the planning stage. If you're starting from scratch or aren't sure what content you need, I'll help you work through the requirements before the build begins.
Ready to get your website started?
Tell me what you're planning, whether it's a simple one-page website, a business website or something more involved. We can discuss the options and work out the best starting point.
