Beacon & Co

// WEB DESIGN AGENCY

Your new website —
built before you buy it.

Beacon & Co designs fast, modern websites for Melbourne tradies, cafes, salons, and local businesses across Australia. We build your demo first — you see the real thing before you commit to a cent.

// THE PROBLEM

Most agencies take your money upfront, then keep you waiting for weeks to see anything.

We build your site before you pay. You see a working demo — not a mood board, not a wireframe — before you sign anything.

You never quite know what you're getting until the final invoice arrives.

Fixed pricing. No surprises. What we quote is what you pay — and you see the result before it costs you a cent.

Web projects have a reputation for going over time, over budget, and over your head.

We keep it simple. Clear scope, plain language, and sites that go live in days — not months.

That's the Beacon way — built for Melbourne local businesses. No lock-in, no jargon, no guesswork.

// HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to your new site.

01

Tell us about your business

A free 15-minute call is all it takes — we learn what you do, who your customers are, and what a great website looks like for you.

02

We build your demo

We design and build a full working version of your site before you pay a cent, so you can see exactly what you're getting before you commit.

03

You approve, we launch

Once you're happy with every detail, we go live — typically within days — and hand over a fast, mobile-ready site that's built to bring in customers.

// WHY BEACON

Why local businesses choose Beacon.

Sites that score 100 — every time.

Every site we build is engineered to achieve a perfect PageSpeed score and meet Google's Core Web Vitals thresholds. A fast site ranks higher, converts better, and keeps visitors from clicking away.

Melbourne-based, real people you can call.

We're a Melbourne team — not an offshore agency, not a reseller. When you need us, you speak to the developers who built your site. No support tickets, no call centres.

We don't disappear after launch day.

Every client has the option to stay on a care plan — so updates, backups, and monitoring are handled for you on an ongoing basis. We're here for the long run, not just the handover.

// THE TEAM

"Beacon & Co was built by developers who got tired of watching local businesses pay too much, wait too long, and end up with websites that underwhelmed. We created a model that's transparent, fast, and fair — so you always know what you're getting."

— Tony & Sheon, Co-founders

// FAQ

Common questions.

No — and that's the whole point. We build a working demo of your site before you're asked to commit to a payment. You see the real thing — not a concept, not a mood board — before you decide. If it's not right for you, you walk away at no cost.

A Starter site is typically ready for your review within 5–7 business days. Professional builds take around 10–14 business days once we have what we need from you. Enterprise timelines depend on scope and are worked out together on your discovery call. Either way, we don't keep you waiting.

No problem. Professional includes professionally written copy — we handle the words for you. For photos, we can work with quality stock imagery or placeholder visuals while you source your own. We flag what's needed early so nothing holds up the build.

No. The build is a one-off payment. If you add a care plan, it's billed month to month — cancel anytime, no exit fees, no lock-in period. You stay because you want to, not because you're stuck.

Care plans cover ongoing updates, regular backups, site monitoring, and a set number of content edits per month. Care Plus adds Google Business Profile upkeep and a monthly performance report. Concierge covers unlimited edits, threat monitoring and response, and same-business-day support. Full details are on the pricing cards above.

Yes. If you start on Starter and later want to add copywriting, local SEO, a booking integration, or a CMS, we can scope an upgrade. We'll quote the difference clearly and in plain language before any work begins.

Absolutely. We're Melbourne-based and love working with local businesses across Victoria — from the CBD to Geelong, Ballarat, and the Mornington Peninsula — but we work with clients across Australia remotely. A video call is all it takes to get started.

We build on Astro — a modern, high-performance framework that produces fast, secure static sites. Professional and Enterprise builds include a CMS (Keystatic or Sanity respectively) so you can edit your own content without touching code. Starter sites can be updated at any time via a care plan or by contacting us directly.
