Central COast Web Design Agency

current website not working hard?
Most Central Coast business owners we talk to have one of two problems: either they don’t have a website yet and they’re losing enquiries to competitors who do, or they have a website that looks outdated, doesn’t show up on Google, and hasn’t brought in a single lead.
You’ve worked hard to build your business. Your website should be working just as hard.
At Zel Designs, we build websites that are fast, professionally designed, and set up to rank in local search. So when someone on the Central Coast searches for what you offer, you show up. And when they land on your site, they actually get in touch.

Why us?
There are thousands of web designers in Australia. So why choose someone local?
Because we live and work here too. We understand the Central Coast market, the industries that are thriving, the local businesses you’re competing with, and the kind of customers you’re trying to reach. That local knowledge feeds directly into how we design and write your website.
It also means you can actually meet us. If you want to sit down over a coffee in Terrigal, Gosford, or Erina and talk through your project face to face, we’re here for that. No time zones, no offshore handoffs, no dealing with someone who has never heard of The Entrance or Woy Woy.

value your time and expertise
At Zel Designs, you’re not passed off to a junior account manager or a revolving door of contractors. You work directly with the people designing and building your website. You get faster communication, cleaner outcomes, and a website you actually understand and feel ownership over.

How we work
We keep our process straightforward because your time is valuable and the last thing you need is another complicated project to manage.
We start with a no-pressure 15–30 minute call to understand your business, your goals, and what you need from your website. We’ll talk about your target customers, your competitors, and what success looks like for you.
We’ll send you a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras. You’ll know exactly what you’re getting, what it costs, and how long it will take before you commit to anything.
Once you’re on board, we get to work. We’ll share design concepts for your approval before building anything, and keep you in the loop throughout. Most projects are completed within 4–6 weeks depending on scope.
Before we go live, we walk you through the finished site, make any final tweaks, and make sure you’re confident navigating your own website. Then we launch and celebrate with you.
We don’t disappear after launch. Whether you need ongoing maintenance, hosting, SEO, or just a hand updating your content, we’re here for the long term.
We offer on-going marketing opportunities to all of our clients and help you build the business of your dreams,

We have compiled frequently asked questions about our marketing retainers and answered them for you.
The cost of a full website design can vary widely depending on several factors such as the complexity of the website, the design skills and experience of the designer, the geographic location of the designer, and the type of services included in the agreement. Here on the Central Coast a web designer can range from $2,499 to $10,000 and beyond.
The best way to get an accurate estimate for your website design project is to reach out to a few different Central Coast web designers and get quotes from each of them. This will give you a good sense of the market rate for the type of website you’re looking to have designed.
It depends on the web designer and the type of agreement you have in place. MOST web designers charge a one-time fee for designing a website, with the optional extra, for a monthly fee, for ongoing website maintenance, updates, and support.
Before you engage with a web designer, it is important to have a clear understanding of what services are included in the agreement, and how the payment structure works. This will help ensure that you are both on the same page and avoid any misunderstandings down the line.
Like the whole internet marketing industry, this depends on many factors. Do you want the best web design for your business? Do you have technical skills in web design, development and SEO? Is digital marketing a skill you love? Do you value your time?……. Yes you should engage with a local web designer.
Do you have a VERY small budget and happy to ‘wing it’? Do you have time to research the industry standards and know what it takes to stand out? Sure, go for gold! Our blog might help guide you in the DYI approach.
Attention all Central Coast web design seekers!
Tired of the same boring sales pitch? Look no further! We won’t promise to be your only option, but we will promise to bring the wow factor to your website game.
Our team of professional, tech-savvy wizards are experts in the art of web design, development, and online marketing. With a full range of services at our disposal, we’ll create a custom, cohesive plan to make your website dreams a reality. Get ready for a website experience like no other!
Our websites start from $2,490 for a professionally designed WordPress or Shopify site. The final cost depends on the number of pages, any custom functionality, and whether you need copywriting. We provide a clear, itemised quote upfront, no surprises.
Most projects are completed within 4–6 weeks from the time we receive your content and sign-off on the design. Complex projects with ecommerce, custom integrations, or large page counts may take a little longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline in your proposal.
Your new website will be built with solid SEO foundations, proper structure, meta data, headings, and page speed. But if you want to actively rank for competitive search terms like “web designer Central Coast” or your specific service + location, ongoing SEO is worth investing in. We offer SEO retainers and can talk you through what’s realistic for your industry.
If you’re selling products online, Shopify is our recommendation — it’s purpose-built for ecommerce and handles payments, inventory, and shipping beautifully. For service businesses, trades, health professionals, and anyone who doesn’t need an online store, WordPress gives you more flexibility and is easier to grow over time.
Absolutely. In fact, a lot of our projects are redesigns. Businesses that have an outdated site that no longer reflects where they’re at. We’ll audit your existing site, identify what’s working and what isn’t, and build something that performs better in every way.
Yes, we offer monthly maintenance plans from $79/month that keep your website updated, secure, and backed up. We also offer combined hosting and maintenance packages from $99/month. No website should be left unattended.
Yes. Both WordPress and Shopify have user-friendly dashboards that make it easy to update content, add blog posts, change images, and manage products without touching a line of code. We’ll walk you through how to use it before we hand over the keys.
Absolutely, we work with businesses all over Australia. Our focus on the Central Coast just means we have deep local knowledge and are available for in-person meetings if you’re nearby. Remote collaboration via video call and email works seamlessly for clients in Sydney, Newcastle, and beyond.
