FAQs
Are your web developers based in Sydney and Canberra?
We're a senior onshore web development team. Our web developers are based in Sydney and Canberra. Our dev work is done onshore in Australia.
Why should a Sydney business hire a local web development company?
Hiring a Sydney web development company means you work with senior developers in your timezone, who understand the Australian market and who you can actually hold accountable. There's no offshore handoff, no overnight lag on changes and no language barrier.
We've spent over 15 years developing websites and web applications for Sydney startups, enterprises, universities and Government, so you get a local team that has already solved the problems your project is likely to face.
Unlike some other Sydney-based agencies, we do not offshore our development work.
Can you develop a website from designs we already have?
Yes. If your website has already been designed we're happy to develop it from your supplied design files, whether they come from your in-house team or an external designer.
We also offer an in-house web design service if you'd prefer us to handle both the design and the development.
What does your web development process look like?
Every project is a little different, but our web development process generally follows five stages:
- Discovery and scoping
- Design (or working from your supplied designs)
- Development
- Testing and quality assurance
- Launch
After launch we offer ongoing support, maintenance and iteration so your website or application keeps performing as your business grows. You'll work directly with the senior developers building your project, not an account manager relaying messages.
How long does it take to develop a website in Sydney?
It depends on scope. A well-defined marketing website typically takes a few weeks, while a custom web application can take several months from discovery through to launch.
The biggest factors are the number of pages or features, whether designs are ready, the complexity of any integrations, and how quickly content and feedback are provided. We'll give you a realistic timeline once we understand your requirements.
How much does web development cost in Sydney?
We quote every project individually because cost depends heavily on what you're building. A brochure or marketing website sits at the lower end, while custom web applications with user accounts, databases and third-party integrations require more investment.
Most projects run on a time and materials basis with an upfront estimate to guide the budget, and we can offer fixed-cost pricing where the specifications are well defined. Get in touch with your requirements and we'll put together a quote.
What technologies and programming languages do you use?
We're a modern, full-stack web development team. On the frontend we build with React and Astro, and on the backend we use Python.
We host and scale on AWS, build content-managed sites with headless CMS architecture or Webflow, and choose the right stack for your project rather than forcing every client onto the same tools.
Can you build custom web applications, not just websites?
Yes. Alongside marketing websites we develop custom web applications and software, including SaaS products, customer portals, dashboards, marketplaces and internal business tools.
A lot of our work is building cloud-based applications for founders and businesses that need more than an off-the-shelf template can offer.
Can you redevelop or take over an existing website?
Yes. We regularly take over existing websites and applications, whether you've outgrown your current developer, inherited a codebase, or need an ageing site rebuilt on a modern, maintainable platform.
We'll review what you have, recommend whether to improve or rebuild it, and take responsibility for ongoing development and support from there.
Do you build fast, mobile-friendly websites?
Yes. Every website we develop is fully responsive and built to perform on mobile, tablet and desktop. Speed and Core Web Vitals are a core part of how we build, because page performance affects both conversions and search rankings.
We optimise images, code and hosting so your site loads quickly for users across Sydney and Australia.
Do you offer SEO as part of web development?
We build every website on solid technical SEO foundations, including clean semantic markup, fast load times, structured data, sensible URL structures and mobile responsiveness, so your site is ready to rank.
We also help early stage startups with their SEO strategy and getting the right foundations in place from day one.
Do you offer AEO services?
Yes. As well as traditional SEO we offer Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), improving how your website is read, cited and recommended by AI search tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini.
We build clean structured data, clear answer-friendly content and strong technical foundations so your site is set up to be surfaced in AI-generated answers, not just traditional search results.
Do you offer web design services?
Yes. We offer a web design and product design service. However, if you've already had your website designed we're happy to develop it for you based on supplied design files.
Where do you host your websites?
Our preference is to use Amazon Web Services when custom building websites and applications. Regardless of the product being a static website, a CMS solution or a fully featured web application, the AWS suite of products provides all the tools we need to move quickly with tools we trust.
This only changes if we develop your website on Webflow. In that case, your website will be hosted on Webflow.
Do you offer ongoing website maintenance and support?
Who owns the website and code once it's finished?
You do. Once your project is complete and paid for, you own your website, your custom code and your content outright. We don't lock clients into proprietary platforms they can never leave.
If you'd like us to continue hosting, maintaining and improving your site we're glad to, but that's your choice, not a condition of working with us.
Do you only work with startups?
No. Developing early stage startups takes up about 70% of time. The rest is filled with developing websites and applications for leading brands, Government, Australian Universities and later stage funded, and acquired, startups.
We're also seeing an increase in the need for custom-built internal software which is now quicker, and cheaper, than ever before thanks to AI development.
Which areas do you provide web development services to?
We're a Sydney and Canberra web development agency and work with clients across both cities, including the Sydney CBD, North Sydney, Parramatta and the greater Sydney metro area.
Because our work is delivered remotely as well as in person, we also develop websites and applications for clients right across Australia.
After meeting with several development teams, it was clear that Launch Lab not only understood our vision but could also deliver a top-quality product. Launch Lab consistently delivers high-quality work and is responsive to any issues that arise. They communicate directly and don't waste time.
I had the pleasure of working with Shaun and the Launch Lab team for 2 years in my time as Head of Marketing at Immutable. I highly recommend Shaun and his team, I can attest to the fact that he will always have the client's best interests in mind and give his honest thoughts and ideas, even if it is at the expense of banking less hours on his end.
Launch Lab were a pleasure to work with, extremely competent and have provided a great outcome for this project. Project delivery was professional, efficient and effective.

Launch Lab are extremely competent and professional and are also pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Launch Lab!
Amazing team, really helped our business in the early stages. Shaun and David were great to work with. 10/10. Safe pair of hands and very cost effective.
It's the second time I've worked with them on launching a website (for different companies). When I got the opportunity to build a new website, my first thought was 'speak to Shaun'. I trust their recommendations completely and their work is of the highest quality. From beginning to end everything has gone smoothy and professionally. Highly recommend!
