Custom Website Development
Business Website from right here in Sydney, Australia, and not off shore
Retail Labs specialises in bespoke website development, tailored to your specific needs. We provide two distinct services – you can supply a design from your own designer for us to bring to life, or for a more streamlined process, we can both design and construct your custom website from start to finish.
We choose to utilise established frameworks like Elementor, rather than coding your site from scratch in PHP. Why do we do this? This approach ensures your site is easily updatable and secure. Bespoke WordPress sites built from the ground up become outdated from the moment they’re launched and are seldom updated, creating a security risk we prefer not to take. The website we construct for you can be managed by any WordPress developer, meaning you’re never locked into a single service provider – not even us!
Offshore Development: Did you get burnt by an offshore developer who left you stranded?
Have you experienced the pitfalls of outsourcing your website development, drawn in by the promise of lower costs, only to end up with a site that’s no longer updatable and a developer who has seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth? It’s all too common for offshore developers to ‘go dark’ just when their assistance is most crucial, often following a significant WordPress update which their coding cannot withstand. If this scenario rings all too true, we invite you to get in touch with us. We can discuss the creation of a new site for you, one that will never be plagued by substandard coding or an inability to update. Ever!
We have been using Retail Labs for our website design, development and hosting for years now. Last week, Steve completed our new website design and launch and we are absolutely thrilled. More importantly, we are getting some extraordinary feedback on the design, the simplicity, the ease of navigation and the content clarity.
What you get with Retail Labs is a devotion to service from the top and a care and pride factor that we have not seen elsewhere. We could not be more delighted and highly recommend Retails Labs and Steve and his team.
We were thoroughly impressed with the service and outcome of working with Retail Labs. Steve was extremely helpful in explaining the ins and outs of website design, and exploring various options for its appearance and functionality. Their online project management tool helped greatly in simplifying the review and amend process. Steve was able to turn around the project in a short timeframe and was extremely responsive throughout the entire process. We would be happy to recommend Retail Labs to anyone looking for a website designer.
Retail Labs came recommended to us and we could not be more grateful ~ Steve took our old outdated website and created a whole new design with a sophisticated, modern look and easy navigation. He also updated the application of the site so it adapted perfectly across multiple platforms. I am not very computer savvy but Steve has a way of communicating that makes the whole process easy and stress free.
Steve has taught me so much along the way, allowing me to update and utilise our site in the most effective way for our business ~ his patience is endless and his knowledge extensive. I cannot recommended Steve highly enough ~ he took our online presence and created something we are proud of, works effectively and actually brings us business. I count Steve as an integral part of our business team.
CR Commercial Property Group were recommended to Retail Labs by another of their very happy clients. We have worked with a number of Website developers over the years, but we have to say that we have never experienced the service, professionalism, understanding and honesty that we received from Retail Labs. We worked with Steve directly and are happy to say with confidence that we have been absolutely delighted since our first meeting. CRCPG operate in a niche industry – ie. Not selling an actual product, but rather a service.
Steve was able to immediately understand our requirements in accordance with our business and did not shy away from offering recommendations and solutions to enhance our website. He has an excellent grasp of algorithms and design, Google and how the www works. As a result, our website is so much better for his input! His ideas were great, his experience and knowledge of the website and hosting services is second to none. He is also extremely responsive and skilled – which is all you can ask for in your web designer. We have been so happy with what Steve has been able to deliver that we are happy to recommend his services to anyone. You will be lucky to work with him.
I love the way Steve came out and spent time to see how our place functions. I truly believe that doing that gave him a better understanding of the way we work and he was able to convey it to the site brilliantly.
There are graphic designers who know how to design and there are coders who know how to write code. Yet, combine the experience in print, design and web development with experience running several businesses from a variety of industries and you have a forward thinking team of experts who understands the craft of building websites with a great return on investment.
