A web developer in Melbourne who ships in days, at a fixed price
Daysprint is a Melbourne-based senior web developer shipping fixed-price websites from $650 USD (≈ A$1,000 inc. GST), API integrations and workflow automations in days - proper GST tax invoices, nobody between you and the builder.
[ WHY LOCAL ]
Same city, same hours, no agency in the middle
Most Melbourne businesses choosing a web developer pick between a local agency (weeks of timeline, five-figure quotes, and an account manager as your contact rather than the person building) and an offshore marketplace, where the price is low and the trade-off is timezone lag. I'm neither: one senior Melbourne-based engineer, fixed prices published right on the site, and delivery measured in days.
Working in your timezone means previews land during your working day, so you're never waiting overnight for a reply from another hemisphere. Being an Australian business means a proper tax invoice with GST and plain-language terms from a business registered here. The person you email is the person who builds. That is me, Dan Sutherland, 10+ years shipping production software.
On price: Melbourne agencies typically quote A$5,000–A$20,000+ and 4–8 weeks for a small business website. My equivalent fixed packages run $650–$1,800 USD (≈ A$1,000–A$2,750 inc. GST at invoice-date rates), shipped in 3–7 days.

[ FAQ ]
Local questions
Do you meet clients in person?
I work async-first even for Melbourne clients - written quotes, preview links and email move projects faster than meetings do. Being same-city still pays off in practical ways: same business hours, same public holidays, and feedback loops that close the same business day rather than overnight.
Do your prices include GST?
Prices are listed in USD ex-GST so they're comparable for international clients. Australian clients receive a proper tax invoice with GST added, from a registered Australian business.
How much does a website cost in Australia?
Australian agencies typically quote A$5,000–A$20,000+ for a small business website, on 4–8 week timelines, Melbourne included. My fixed packages run $650 USD (≈ A$1,000 inc. GST) for a landing page in 3 days, and $1,800 USD (≈ A$2,750 inc. GST) for a five-page website with CMS in 7 days - both in writing before you pay a deposit.
What questions should I ask before hiring a web developer?
Five worth asking anyone you're considering: Is the price fixed in writing before you pay anything? Is the ship date in the quote? Who owns the code at the end? Who actually does the building? What happens if something breaks after delivery? My answers, so you can compare them: the price is fixed in writing, the ship date is in the quote, you own the code, I do the building myself, and bugs are fixed free for 14 days.
Can you work alongside our existing team or agency?
Yes - every build ships with documentation and lands in your own repositories and accounts, so your team or agency can pick it up without a handover meeting. Fixed scope also means clean edges: no ambiguity about where my work ends and theirs begins.
Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
No - I work globally, async-first. Melbourne clients just get the local advantages for free: aligned hours, local invoicing, and a builder who understands the market they're selling into.
