A selection of websites we’ve designed and built — from a property group’s premium brand site to training, trade and ecommerce platforms. Every project here is live, so you can see exactly how they look and work.
Featured project
Kingsmede
Commercial property & coworking
WordPress · Elementor · custom theme
A premium, image-led website for a Sydney property group offering offices, warehousing and coworking suites. The design lets the architecture and interiors do the selling, keeps navigation to the essentials and gives tenants and investors quick access to their login areas.
- Brand-led custom design built on our own WordPress theme
- Office, warehousing and coworking sections
- Tenant and investor login access
- Content the client can edit in Elementor
Aveling
Training · RTO 50503
WordPress · Elementor
A WA registered training organisation needed learners and employers to find the right course fast. The site centres on a course finder with keyword, date and topic filters, backed by a course calendar, online booking and learner login.
Hilton Plumbing
Trades · Perth
WordPress · Elementor · WooCommerce
A Perth trade business covering plumbing, electrical, security and appliance repairs. The phone number and Book Now button are always within reach, and services are organised so customers reach the right page in a tap or two. We went on to run their SEO and Google Ads campaigns.

Designed for results
Websites built around what your customers need to do
A good-looking website is the starting point, not the goal. We plan every page around the action you want visitors to take, then build it to load quickly, work on any device and give Google a clear picture of what you offer.
Behind the scenes: building the Kingsmede website in WordPress and Elementor.
Clear paths to enquiry
Calls to action, phone numbers and booking buttons placed where people look for them. On the Hilton Plumbing site, the phone number and Book Now button stay within reach on every page.
Content structured for decisions
Service pages that answer the questions buyers ask, in the order they ask them, so visitors don’t have to call just to find basic information.
Fast and mobile-first
Optimised images, lean page structures and layouts designed for phones first, because many of your customers will find you on their phone.
Search-ready from launch
A logical page hierarchy, clean URLs, metadata, structured headings and internal links, so search engines understand your site from day one.
Built around how you operate
Booking, enrolment, ecommerce and enquiry forms that fit the way your business works — like the course search and booking pathways on the Aveling site.
Accessible to everyone
Readable colour contrast, keyboard-friendly navigation and descriptive image text help every visitor — and help search engines too.

Why Net Search
Talk directly to the people designing and building your website
Net Search is a small, Perth-based team led by two software engineers. There are no account managers in the middle: you speak with the people doing the work, and they explain things in plain English.
James Campbell
Web development & digital strategy
Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering)
10+ years in web & digital marketing
James leads projects from the first conversation to launch, combining a software engineering background with more than a decade of hands-on web design, development and digital marketing for Perth businesses. Clients regularly mention his responsiveness and straight, practical advice.
Jonathan Cream
Full-stack development & SEO
Bachelor of Engineering (Software Engineering)
10+ years in web & digital marketing
Jonathan is a full-stack developer who looks after the technical side of more complex builds — custom functionality, integrations, site speed and structure — and makes sure every site is set up properly for search.
Engineering depth
Custom features and integrations are built properly by qualified software engineers, not patched together with plugins.
Design and marketing together
Because we also run SEO and Google Ads campaigns, your site is planned with search and conversions in mind from the first wireframe.
Built in-house
Design, development and support are handled by our own team. We don’t outsource or white-label your project.

Many clients stay with us for years after launch — one has had James develop and refine their website for more than five years.

How it works
Our website design process, from first chat to launch
A clearly defined scope and timeline up front, and no surprises along the way. Here’s what to expect when you work with us.
1
Consult & scope
We learn about your business, customers and goals, review your current website, and agree on the pages, features and timeline in writing.
2
Design concepts
You see design concepts and wireframes for key pages, and we refine them with you before any development begins.
3
Build & integrate
We build your site, add any custom functionality or integrations, and make sure it’s fast and responsive on every device.
4
Content & search setup
We help write and organise your content, and set up page titles, descriptions, redirects and analytics so the site is ready for Google.
5
Test, launch & train
We test across browsers and devices, launch, and show your team how to update the site — then we’re here for support and improvements.
Typical timeframe: most websites take around 4–6 weeks to design, develop and launch. Larger sites and custom functionality take longer — your quote will include a clear timeline.

Website pricing
How much does a website cost in Perth? What shapes the price
Website prices vary widely because the work varies widely. We quote every project individually once we understand what you need, and we explain exactly what’s included. These are the factors that make the biggest difference.
Size and structure
A focused five-page site and a large site with dozens of service, location and resource pages involve very different amounts of design and content work.
Design complexity
Bespoke layouts, animation and art direction take more design time than a refined, simpler design — both can look excellent.
Functionality
Booking, enrolment, calculators, member areas and connections to other software add development time.
Ecommerce requirements
Product numbers and variations, payment and shipping rules and stock integrations shape the cost of a store — and whether WooCommerce or Shopify suits you best.
Content and migration
Copywriting, photography, moving content from an old site and setting up redirects to protect your Google rankings.
Ongoing costs
Plan for your domain name, hosting, any premium plugin licences or Shopify subscription, and maintenance after launch.

Web design FAQs
Questions about your new website
Straight answers to the questions Perth businesses ask us most about cost, timing, platforms and what happens after launch.
Ask Us a QuestionOr call 1300 717 588
How much does a website cost in Perth?
There’s no single price, because websites range from focused brochure sites to large ecommerce stores with custom integrations. The biggest factors are the number of pages, design complexity, functionality, ecommerce requirements, content and any migration work. We quote each project individually after a conversation about your goals, and set out exactly what’s included. See what shapes the price above.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites take around 4–6 weeks to design, develop and launch once the scope is agreed. Larger sites, ecommerce stores and custom functionality take longer, and timing also depends on how quickly content and feedback come through. Your quote will include a clear timeline.
Can I update my website myself?
Yes. We build most websites in WordPress with Elementor, a visual editor that lets you change text and images, add pages and publish updates without touching code. We show you how to manage your site at launch, and we’re available if you’d rather we handle changes for you.
Do you use templates or build custom websites?
Every website is custom-designed for your business — we don’t buy a theme and drop your content into it. We build on WordPress with Elementor using our own lightweight starter theme, which keeps sites fast and easy to edit, and our engineers write custom code when a project needs functionality beyond that.
Can you redesign my website without losing my Google rankings?
A redesign always carries some risk, but it can be managed. We review which pages bring in traffic and enquiries, keep or improve valuable content, preserve URLs where possible and set up 301 redirects where they change. After launch we check that Google can crawl the new site properly. Careful planning protects the rankings you’ve already earned. Read more about our website migration SEO process.
Do you build Shopify and WooCommerce stores?
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores inside WordPress — such as Clearview Accessories and Growsafe — and Shopify stores for retailers who want an all-in-one hosted platform, such as Liquorshed and Clutch Direct. The right choice depends on your products, budget and how much control you need. Learn more about our ecommerce web design. Once your store is live, our ecommerce SEO helps its categories and products get found in Google.
WordPress or Shopify: which is better for my business?
For most service businesses, WordPress is the better fit: it’s flexible, excellent for content and SEO, and the site belongs to you. For online stores, Shopify suits retailers who want hosting, payments and security handled by one platform for a monthly fee, while WooCommerce offers more control and customisation within WordPress. We’ll recommend the option that suits your business, not the one that’s easiest for us.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and fast?
Yes. Every site is designed responsively and tested on phones, tablets and desktops. We keep page structures lean, size and compress images properly and avoid unnecessary scripts, because speed affects both the visitor experience and how your site performs in search.
Will my new website be optimised for Google?
Every website we build includes search-ready foundations: a logical page structure, clean URLs, proper headings, page titles and descriptions, fast loading and crawlable content. Ranking for competitive searches usually needs ongoing work as well — that’s where our SEO services come in.
Can you integrate my website with other software?
Often, yes. Our team includes qualified software engineers, so we can build custom functionality and connect your website with booking, CRM, inventory and other business systems where they offer a suitable integration or API. Tell us what you use and we’ll advise what’s possible. See our web development services.
Do you provide maintenance and support after launch?
Yes. Our website maintenance service covers plugin and WordPress updates, daily backups and security, and we can make content updates for you. The same developers who built your website look after it, so they already know how everything fits together.
What’s the difference between web design and web development?
Web design is how a website looks and works for visitors: the layout, visual style, content structure and user experience. Web development is the technical build that makes it function: the code, content management system, integrations, performance and security. At Net Search the same team handles both, so nothing gets lost between designer and developer.
How do I choose a Perth web designer?
Look at live websites they’ve built, not just screenshots, and ask who will actually do the work. Check whether they can handle your technical requirements and SEO, what’s included in the quote, who owns the finished site and what support looks like after launch. Reviews from businesses like yours are a good sign too.
