Two people,
one website
that actually
works.

Dev + Maz — a developer and a UX designer (who happen to be married) building conversion-focused websites for Melbourne businesses who deserve better.

The problem we solve

Your website is fine.
But fine isn't good enough.

You know your site needs work. You just don't trust most of the people offering to help. That's fair — most of them are just looking for a quick buck and don't care about your business.

Meet the dream team

It's just us.
No account managers.
No PowerPoints.

the developer
Devon, The developer

Devon

“Dev”— the developer

Call me Dev — it's on-brand. I've spent the last several years making websites that don't break, don't slow down, and don't make your users cry. Maz is better at taste than I am, but I'm better at code.

the designer
Marion, The designer

Marion

“Maz”— the designer

Maz, if we're on nickname terms (we are). Trained in UX and digital product design. I care more about how your users feel at 11pm on a Tuesday than how your homepage looks on a pitch deck. I also married a developer, which was strategic.

What we do

Three ways we can help.
Pick the one that fits.

★ start here

The Checkup

$1,250
AUD, one-off

We diagnose what's hurting your site — then you decide whether to fix it yourself or hand it to us.

Turnaround: 5 business days
  • Review of your whole site, top to bottom
  • Top 10 issues, ranked by impact
  • Annotated screenshots — zero jargon
  • A prioritised fix list, copy-paste ready
  • 45-min walk-through call
  • Often the first step into a Refresh or Full Build

The outcome: You leave knowing exactly what to fix, why it matters, and the order to do it in. Decide later if you want us to do the fixing.

★ fix or build

The Refresh

$3,950
AUD, fixed scope

Fix what's already there, or build a small site fast — sharper, faster, shipping in two weeks.

Turnaround: 2 weeks
  • Fix your existing site — or build a small new one
  • Up to 4 pages, designed + built
  • Mobile-first, performance-tuned
  • 1 round of revisions
  • Basic SEO + analytics
  • Honest scoping — we'll tell you if you need a Full Build instead

The outcome: Your site, sorted. Either fixed up properly or rebuilt small-and-sharp — live in 14 days.

The Full Build

$7,950
AUD, fixed scope

Built from the ground up — the best possible website for your business.

Turnaround: 3 weeks
  • Built from scratch — your design, your voice, your stack
  • Up to 6 pages, designed + built
  • Mobile-first, fast as hell
  • Copywriting help if you want it
  • SEO + analytics set up properly
  • Two rounds of revisions
  • Fixed price. No surprise invoices.

Want a different website tier? We offer a few — from single-page landers to multi-phase builds.
