GEELONG WEB DESIGN
Freelance Web Designer in Geelong
I'm Subesh Thapa, a freelance web designer with more than ten years of experience building websites for service businesses, from allied health and NDIS providers to trades and Surf Coast tourism. I fit meetings around your schedule, quotes are fixed from $1,500, and every site comes with three months of free support.

Websites for Geelong, the Surf Coast and the Bellarine
Geelong's economy has changed a lot. It's now home to the Transport Accident Commission, WorkSafe Victoria and the NDIA's national office, alongside Deakin University and Barwon Health. That has brought a wave of allied health practices, NDIS providers, consultants and professional services, plus the trades that keep a fast-growing region running.
Many of those businesses need a website that does two jobs: looks credible to the clients and referrers who check them out, and brings in enquiries from people searching Google. That's the kind of site I build. Most are on WordPress so you can update it yourself, and every one includes three months of free support after launch.
I'm based in Essendon, about an hour up the Princes Freeway, and I run projects by video call at times that suit you. It's the same process and the same fixed prices as my Melbourne clients.

Why Geelong clients pick a freelancer
What working with me is actually like
Your business first, design second
I don't open a design tool until I understand what you sell, who buys it and why they'd pick you. That's what the questionnaire and first meeting are for.
Meetings when you're free
You run a business, so I work around you. Early morning, evening or between appointments, we meet when it suits you, as often as you need.
You choose the design
Instead of picking one look and hoping you like it, I send you several design directions. You choose, and I build from there.
Straight answers
You deal with me directly: no account manager, no hand-offs to a junior. If something will cost more or take longer, I tell you up front.
How it works
A questionnaire, four meetings, then three months of support
Questionnaire & first meeting
You fill in my onboarding questionnaire, then we meet to talk through your business, customers and goals.
Choose your design
I send you several design options. You pick the one you like and I build from there.
Review the draft
We go through every page of the draft together and finalise it before launch.
Launch & 3 months support
We go live, test on real phones, and you get three months of free fixes, meetings and training.
Meetings happen at times that suit you. See the full process.
Included with every Geelong website
3 months of free support after launch
Most web designers and agencies finish on launch day and charge for every change after that. I don't. For three months after your site goes live, you get:
- Three support meetings at times that suit you
- Fixes to anything that isn't working on the site, at no cost
- Hands-on training so you can add pages, swap images and update text yourself
Need your site sooner? I can build a website in about a week, as long as you're available and send your content and details quickly.

FAQ
Web design Geelong: common questions
Fixed-price packages start at $1,500 for a five-page website, $2,000 for up to eight pages and $3,000 for up to twelve pages with bookings or e-commerce. Every package includes three months of free support. See the web design pricing guide for more detail.
By video call or phone, at times that suit you, including early mornings and evenings. Every step, from the first meeting to reviewing the draft site, works just as well remotely.
Three months of free support: three meetings, fixes to anything that isn't working, and training so you can update the site yourself. After that, website management is available if you want it, with no lock-in contract.
Both. A design made from scratch suits businesses that want to stand out; a well-chosen WordPress theme, styled to your brand, keeps costs down. I'll recommend the right option for your budget and goals.
Usually 2–3 weeks for a five-page site once your content is ready. If you need it faster, I can build a site in about a week when you're available and send everything quickly.
For most small and local businesses, yes: a lower price, direct contact with the person building your site, and meetings that fit around you. Agencies suit large projects that need a whole team. See freelancer vs agency compared.
Yes. I work with businesses across Geelong, Torquay and the Surf Coast, and Ocean Grove, Drysdale and the rest of the Bellarine.
