Website Design & Maintenance

Websites for the modern era.

mactune can design, develop and build websites for businesses of all shapes and sizes, from basic one page sites to fully content managed e-commerce stores. What sets us apart from many website shops is we aren't finished until you are 100% happy. From the initial design, development, hosting, regular maintenance and ongoing support we don't just end our relationship when your website goes live.

How we are different.

Cost

Websites don't have to be expensive, so we listen to what you need for your site and set up the systems to meet those needs, and then make sure everything runs perfectly.

Smartphone Era

More searches are now performed on mobile devices than desktop computers. It's therefore imperative your website works on mobile phones and tablets.

Design

All of our designs are built from the ground up not using any borrowed or third party themes which a lot of other developers use. Everything we do is done in house and not outsourced to other countries or companies.

Responsive

One website with a consistent look and feel. That's what responsive website is all about. We build websites that easily respond to the screen size of smartphones, tablets and desktops allowing you to focus on more important items.

Content Management

A content management system (CMS) allows users with suitable access, to make additions and edits to your content whenever required. Not all websites require one and if they do, we specialise in Wordpress which runs over 25% of the worlds websites.

Technology

Don't know what HTML5, PHP, Wordpress means? That's ok, we do! All our websites are built using the latest technology ensuring it works with all platforms for today and tomorrow.

Our Portfolio

Our portfolio continues to grow! Our aim here is to bring you examples of our work so you can easily see how our designs might work for you. In a sea of ordinary, we strive to make your website stand out from the competition.

Content

Websites require good content and we will always tell you that Content Is King!. Good content is vital and it allows the visitor to see you information as well as giving search engines the ability to crawl your site and index it better. With all content it should be updated periodically to make sure your current message is reflected.

Images

High quality images are a must for the modern websites. Images that are hard to see detail or are just to tiny will make visitors go somewhere else. Large, professional like images should only be used. If needed, we can source images for you either from a stock catalogue or with a professional photographer.

Website hosting packages start from $250 per year.

Our Hosting Packages

We use a premium worldwide provider to host all our websites. With many years of experience and data centres in Europe, Singapore and America hosting is much more reliable, cheaper than single hosting providers in Australia. The two most common hosting packages we offer are Startup and Growbig.

Startup

The StartUp gives you all the essential hosting features you need to accommodate a small business website. This package also works well even for small online shops with a reasonable number of products.

GrowBig

If you need more resources and premium features in addition to the essential features then we recommend the GrowBig package. This package is designed to accommodate a more heavily-trafficked website or websites with a large commerce setup.
