Custom website design and development

Firesauce is a brand-first agency that designs and builds custom WordPress websites for businesses ready to grow. Projects start at $14,950 and take 8 to 12 weeks, from planning and design through to launch and SEO set-up. 

You know that your website is damn important - it's your always on, marketing machine.

The problem? It's not on brand, it's got a crap design and it doesn't even function that well.

You know you provide exceptional value to your clients – but your website is giving cheap, cheerful and humdrum.

You’re ready for a complete overhaul – and you want someone with decades of user experience, content, branding, graphic design and website development knowledge leading the charge.

Brand First. Website Second.

If you’re already done the website rebuild thing and gotten nowhere, there’s a pretty good chance it’s because you didn’t start with strategy. 

And it makes sense right – a shiny new design slapped on top of average (or worse, non-existent) positioning and messaging is just a prettier version of the same problem. If you don’t start by solving the problem of your strategic brand position, there’s a good chance your new site is going to fall flat yet again (cue emotional eating and a tiny violin).

We’re a brand-first agency, so we’ll always push you to get your positioning right before we start designing. Who you’re for, what makes you different and how to say it. Once you get that right and the website pretty much builds itself (… sorta, I mean, we’ve still gotta build it ha).

With a decade and a half of building websites in our back pocket, we can take your website presence from drab to fab in a matter of months.

Here’s what’s included in a custom Firesauce website project:

How a Firesauce website project works

  1. Plan: We map your site structure and how your clients actually move through it.
  2. Design: We create custom templates that look and feel like you.
  3. Build: We develop the site on WordPress, write your key page copy and populate your pages.
  4. Test: You and your team test it properly before anything goes live.
  5. Launch: We run your launch plan and set up your SEO.
  6. Handover: We train your team so you can edit it yourself, and we fix any bugs for the first month.
  7. Support: We can optionally support your site ongoing for as long as you need, with security, platform and builder updates and checks
  8. Grow: We turn your marketing engine on with SEO and Paid Ads to help you 3x your business now you have the right foundations

Who is this for?

We work best with established  businesses (consultancies, advisory firms, professional services, industrial and construction) whose website no longer reflects the quality of their work.

We’re based in Perth and work with businesses right across Australia. Around half of our clients are outside WA.

Who we've done this for

‘Between their deep sector expertise and their incredible energy, Firesauce makes taking on a daunting task like branding fun and exciting. We undertook a complete name change, branding, collateral, website and everything in between.’

Brendan Thomas, Founder and Director, NGNU

“We were BLOWN AWAY with how the Firesauce team took what was in our brain and materialised it in our website design. More importantly, they were somehow able to translate the soul of our business, the energy of it, into a visual product that has a heartbeat and perfectly balances all the elements of how we want to present to the world. An incredible result.”

(ok so this last one is more of a review of our hot sauce but it since everyone who comes to a strategy day gets several bottles, it felt relevant to include).
