Web design and development
Beautiful websites, built to be found.
From the domain name and hosting through design, logo, copy, custom code and on-page SEO, we take all the pain out of a pixel-perfect website. Start to finish, one team.
Why Shipwreck
A website that does not convert is an expensive brochure.
Tired of a site that does not reflect the brand or turn visitors into customers? Our designers and developers build custom sites that look professional and deliver results, because the design is optimised for leads from the first sketch.
- A fully responsive design that looks great on any device
- An interface visitors can navigate without thinking
- Custom features and functionality for your business
- Search engine optimisation to be found on Google
What you get
What is in every build.
- Strategy before pixels
- We work out who the site has to convince and what they need to see before anyone opens a design tool.
- Responsive design
- Phone-first layouts that look right and load fast on every screen, tested on real devices.
- Content and copywriting
- A content plan and the words themselves, written to rank and to convert, not lorem ipsum.
- On-page SEO built in
- Titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemaps, speed and clean URLs done at build time, not bolted on later.
- Forms that reach you
- Spam-filtered enquiry forms with lead-source tracking so you know where every enquiry came from.
- Tracking from day one
- Google Tag Manager, analytics and conversion tracking configured and verified before launch.
- Hosting and security
- Launched onto Australian managed hosting with backups, monitoring and a care plan option.
- A team you can call
- Twenty years in, our first clients are still with us. That is the standard for support.

Web design questions
How much does a website cost?
An entry-level small business site typically starts around $7.7k. Business sites with specific requirements or custom work usually land between $16.5k and $55k. Large database-driven platforms start at $100k. See the pricing guide for the full picture.
How long does a build take?
A small brochure site is usually live within four to six weeks of content sign-off. Custom builds run to plan; we agree milestones up front.
Do you write the content?
Yes. Content strategy and copywriting are part of the build, because a site built around real words converts far better than one designed around placeholder text.
What platform do you build on?
Our own NitroSites platform on the Blade, our managed hosting, for speed and security. We also build and maintain WordPress where a client needs that editing model.
Will the site work on phones?
Every site is designed for the phone first, because that is where most visitors arrive from, then scaled up to desktop.
