Web Developer in Melbourne
Custom websites, hand-built end to end — no templates, no page-builders.
I'm Alish Basnet, a Melbourne web developer who designs and builds custom websites by hand. One person across the whole stack — so the design, the code, the speed and the SEO are all shaped by the same set of hands. The result is a fast, distinctive site that's genuinely yours, not a theme everyone else is using.
What's included.
01 Custom design
Designed around your business, not dropped into a template. A look that's unmistakably yours.
02 Hand-coded & fast
Clean, lightweight code that loads quickly and scores well — speed is a ranking factor and a conversion factor.
03 SEO-ready
Semantic markup, structured data, sitemaps and metadata built in from the first line, so you can actually be found.
04 Content you can edit
A simple CMS or editable structure where it helps — update your own content without calling a developer.
05 Responsive everywhere
Looks and works right on phones, tablets and desktops — most of your visitors are on a phone.
06 Care after launch
Hosting, security, updates and small changes handled — I don't vanish the day it goes live.
A calm, legible process.
Four moves, start to finish — you always know where the project is and who you're talking to: the person building it.

Care
Launch, watch, maintain. I don't disappear at go-live — I keep it running, secure and fast.
A real site, doing real work.

Good to know.
How much does a website cost in Melbourne?
It depends on scope — a focused brochure site is very different from a custom web app. Rather than a vague hourly rate, I scope your project honestly up front and give you a fixed quote before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?
A simple site can be a couple of weeks; a larger custom build runs longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline during discovery and keep you updated at every stage — you'll always know where the project is.
Do you use WordPress or templates?
No templates and no page-builders. I hand-code sites so they're faster, more secure and genuinely unique. If a CMS makes sense for your content, I'll wire in one that fits — but the site itself is built from scratch.
Do you do SEO?
Yes — solid technical SEO is built in: clean semantic markup, structured data, fast load times, sitemaps and proper metadata. That's the foundation search engines reward. I can also help with local SEO for Melbourne businesses.
Do you maintain the site after launch?
Absolutely. Launch is the start, not the finish. I offer ongoing care — hosting, security, updates and small changes — so your site stays fast, safe and current.
Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
I'm based in Melbourne and love working with local businesses, but I build for clients anywhere — everything's handled remotely, clearly and on time.
