Success stories

Sydney businesses and agencies on working with our web development team.

We are thankful to webamge and the team for great technical services. They have crafted our backend which we have designed at DesignDavey for our clients. We would like to recommend webmage for all the web development projects, no matter how complex it is. And they are also expert in the field of online marketing.

Sean AleyStudio Manager, Design Davey

Hey! Webmage and the team, Thank you. You have all been amazing over these last few months and delivered above and beyond for all of our clients. You have made our clients happy and made our job easier. It's a pleasure working with every one of you. We look forward to many more projects with you in the future. Wishing you all the best.

Clare RainbowHead of Change, Step Change

Without question, one of Sydney's best web development agencies. In my experience, having worked with many freelance developer or agencies, and none being able to handle my need for perfectionism at a strict budget, I was a little skeptical to see if this team would fare any better. The reality is that these guys are absolutely amazing! From their level of commitment, to their design and development skill to their ability to understand what you want to achieve quickly without having to write up a 30 page manual of what you want for your website, my experience with this team has been an absolute pleasure, and I will not hesitate to recommend them to all my friends and family.

Why us

Since 2012, we have built our reputation on doing what we said we would do.

On time and within budget

Scope, timeline and price are written down before work starts. If something changes, we tell you what it costs before we do it, so there are no surprises on the final invoice.

A Sydney team you can meet

Our studio is in Ultimo, minutes from Central. You deal with the people building your site, by phone, video or across a table, not through a ticket queue.

No lock-in contracts

You own the code, the content and the accounts. Our care plans run month to month. Clients stay because the work is good, not because leaving is hard.

Support after launch

Launch day is the start. We watch the site after go-live, fix what comes up and keep improving it, which is why many clients have been with us for years.

Our recent work

A few of the websites, stores and campaign sites our team has designed and developed.

City of Canterbury Bankstown

Campaign website

A pledge site for a council campaign. Residents add their name, a photo or a snapshot to show support, so the form had to be quick and hard to break.

  • Custom WordPress theme
  • Hand-coded form
  • HTML5 and CSS3

Burger10

Restaurant website

An Inner West burger restaurant with a menu drawn from ten countries. The owner wanted a full redesign that felt like the restaurant itself.

  • WordPress
  • jQuery
  • HTML5 and CSS3

Luxe Walls

WooCommerce store

Wallpaper made to measure and sold online. Customers browse designs or supply a photo of their own, and every order is printed to the size of their wall, ready to peel and stick.

  • WooCommerce
  • WordPress
  • Product preview tools

A web development company in Sydney that builds for results

What to expect when you work with Web Mage, and how we approach every project, from a five-page site to a web application.

Web development in Sydney, built around your goals

Every project starts with a plain question: what should this website do for the business? For a professional services firm it might be qualified enquiries. For a retailer, online sales. For a council or not-for-profit, sign-ups and information people can find quickly. We plan the site around that goal and measure it after launch.

As a web development agency in Sydney, we bring design, development and search together in one team, so the site that looks right is also fast, accessible and structured for Google from the first day.

The platforms we build on

  • WordPress for content-rich sites marketing teams update every week.
  • Shopify and WooCommerce for online stores, from a first store to trade and wholesale ordering.
  • Astro with a headless CMS for sites where speed and security come first.
  • Custom applications in PHP, JavaScript and Node.js when the website is really a tool.

We will explain the trade-offs in plain English and recommend one. You own whatever we build.

How AI makes our web development faster and safer

Our developers work with AI assistants every day. They speed up the repetitive parts of a build, like converting designs into components, moving content and writing tests, and they catch accessibility and security issues early. People still make the decisions, review every line and stand behind the result. That combination is why we can often deliver sooner without cutting the checks that protect your business.

We also build AI automation that links your website to your CRM and other tools. Thinking of doing it yourself? Read our guide to building a website with AI.

Who we work with

Business owners who want a site that brings in work. Marketing teams who need a development partner that ships every month. Design studios and agencies who want a reliable development team behind their designs. We have built for councils, universities, clinics, retailers, restaurants, trades and startups, and many of our clients have stayed with us for years.

Our web development process

Four stages, the same on a five-page site and a large web application.

  1. Discover

    We learn your business, goals and systems, and agree a written scope and price.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and responsive web designs for phone and desktop, approved by you before any code.

  3. Develop

    Built and tested on a private staging site you can review at any time.

  4. Launch and care

    Redirects, tracking and speed checked at launch, then ongoing maintenance.

Web development Sydney: frequently asked questions

What does a web development agency in Sydney do?

A web development agency plans, designs, builds and maintains websites and web applications. Web Mage handles the full job for Sydney businesses: custom development, WordPress and Shopify builds, online stores, AI features, integrations with your other systems, launch and ongoing maintenance.

How much does web development cost in Sydney?

The price follows the effort: how many page types, how much custom functionality, which systems it connects to and how much content has to move. A small business site and a store with ERP integration are very different projects. We do not publish prices; after a short call we send a written proposal with a fixed price for the agreed scope.

What is a typical timeline for a new website?

Most business websites take six to ten weeks from discovery to launch. Online stores and web applications take longer and are often released in stages. Your proposal sets out the timeline and what we need from you to keep to it.

Do you only build WordPress websites?

No. WordPress is one of several platforms we build on. We also build Shopify and WooCommerce stores, fast static sites with Astro and a headless CMS, and custom web applications. We recommend the platform that suits your business and your team.

How does Web Mage use AI in web development?

We use AI coding assistants to draft components, migrate content, write tests and check accessibility, which shortens build times. A developer reviews and tests every change before it goes live. We also build AI features such as website assistants and smarter site search for clients.

Can you redesign or rebuild my existing website?

Yes. We audit the current site first, keep what works, and plan redirects for every page that moves so you keep your search rankings. Many projects are rebuilds of sites that have become slow, hard to edit or insecure.

Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?

Yes. We are based in Ultimo and run projects for clients all over Australia, including Melbourne and Brisbane. Projects run on video calls, a shared staging site and written updates.

Will you look after the website after it launches?

Yes, if you want us to. Our website maintenance plans cover tested updates, backups, security and uptime monitoring, plus developer hours each month for changes. There is no lock-in contract.
