Types of websites we can build
There's no single "right" website — the best fit depends on how hands-on you want to be, what your business does and where you'd like to take it. We work across the popular self-managed platforms as well as our own custom platform, and we'll help you weigh up which one suits you before any work begins.
Self-managed sites
Platforms like Wix and Squarespace are great when you want an easy, edit-it-yourself website. We help you set it up properly and design it well, then hand over the keys.
Online stores
Selling online? Shopify and similar platforms give you a solid storefront, payments and inventory. We get the foundations and design right so you can focus on selling.
Custom websites
Need something tailored? Our own EduCom IT platform powers custom websites that stay genuinely affordable for small business — designed and supported by us, end to end.
Not sure which direction makes sense? That's exactly what the first conversation is for — we'll point you toward the option that fits your goals and budget without overcomplicating it.
How the process works
Building a website with us follows a simple, guided path. You don't need to know the technical details up front — that's our job. Here's what it looks like from your side.
- 1. Chat
- We start with a conversation about your business, what you want the website to do and who it's for. No jargon, no pressure.
- 2. Show us
- Share any example sites you like — yours, competitors' or anything that catches your eye. It helps us understand the look and feel you're after.
- 3. Design
- We design the website specifically around your requirements, choosing the right platform and shaping the pages, content and structure to suit.
- 4. Refine
- We review it together, make adjustments and get it right before it goes live — so the finished site genuinely reflects your business.
- 5. Support
- Once you're live, we're still here — for updates, domains, email and the rest of your digital setup whenever you need a hand.
"Have a chat, show us what you like, and we'll design the website around your business — not the other way around."
Designed around your requirements
Every business is different, so we don't force you into a template and call it done. We listen first, then design — making sure the website reflects your brand, speaks to your customers and supports the way you actually work.
- A clear understanding of your goals before any design begins.
- The right platform chosen for your needs, not ours.
- A look and feel guided by examples you already like.
- Pages and content structured around how customers find and contact you.
- Connections to your domain, business email and wider digital setup.
- Ongoing support from a team that already knows your environment.
Why build with EduCom IT
We're not just a web designer — we're an IT partner. That means your website sits alongside your domains, email, security and devices under one roof, with a team that understands the whole picture. For small businesses especially, that joined-up support makes a website far easier to launch, maintain and grow.
And because our custom platform is built to stay affordable, a professional, tailored website is well within reach — without locking you into something you can't manage or afford down the track.
