What clients say about working with us

“Digital Bird was excellent to work with. After countless attempts with speaking with agencies and other web design contractors, we finally found Jonathan and the team, and what a blessing that was. The project was handled end to end, with clear communication the entire time. We have now engaged Jonathan and the team for on-going website management and work due to how well things turned out. If you are on the fence about which direction to go, I highly recommend just taking a call with Jonathan and the team and seeing what you can achieve together.”

Google reviews

“Digital Bird is my first pick for delivering web projects on time, on budget and to the brief — every time.

Beyond being a delight to work with, Jonathan Bird is that rare breed of developer who is both masterful on the tools (an absolute Laravel whizz!) while also being adept at engaging the client in UX-thinking, to which he applies expert insights, gained through years of experience, to help further improve the end design for the target user’s experience.

This powerful combination of skills means that 4 years on and a variety of projects later (from search directories to corporate website developments), Digital Bird firmly remains my first pick for developer.”

“Highly recommend Jonathan for anything web development in Brisbane and Australia-wide. Have worked with a lot of developers over the years and Jonathan’s work and communication on projects has been a clear standout. A very talent developer if you’re looking for anything from WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, or anything in-between.”

FAQ

Web Design & Development FAQs

Common questions about working with our senior team on a web design and development project.
Yes. Our senior web development and design team is based in Brisbane, where most of our client base sits. You deal directly with the senior developer and designer working on your project rather than an account manager, and we work with organisations across Queensland and the rest of Australia. Projects run remotely by default, with in-person discovery sessions or workshops in Brisbane where they add value.
Web development projects typically start from $15,000 for a standard brochure website and scale depending on complexity, custom functionality, and integrations required. We provide a detailed proposal and fixed-price quote after an initial discovery conversation so there are no surprises.
Most website projects take between 8 to 16 weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on the scope and complexity. This includes discovery, content strategy, design, development, testing, and training. We will provide a clear timeline as part of your project proposal.
Every project includes a discovery phase to map your audience, goals, and content; UI/UX design; full custom development on Laravel, Statamic, or WordPress; SEO setup with structured data and sitemaps; accessibility and performance testing; content migration; CMS training for your team; and 30 days of post-launch support. You receive a fully documented codebase, a CMS your team can confidently use, and a clean handover with no loose ends.
We build on WordPress, Laravel, and Statamic depending on the needs of your project. WordPress is ideal for content-managed marketing websites, Statamic is excellent for content-led sites that need a clean editor experience without a database, and Laravel is suited to organisations that need custom functionality, complex integrations, or a more tailored solution.
Yes. You own the code, the content, the hosting account, and any domains. Nothing is built on proprietary platforms that lock you in. Your website is built on open-source frameworks (Laravel, Statamic, or WordPress) so any competent developer can pick the project up if you ever choose to move on. Most of our clients have stayed with our team for five years or more because they want to, not because they have to.
Accessible foundations are part of every build, including semantic HTML, keyboard navigation, screen-reader support, sufficient colour contrast, accessible forms, and a logical heading hierarchy. When formal WCAG 2.2 AA conformance or independent auditing is required, we scope the additional testing, remediation, and documentation explicitly.
Standard delivery includes secure coding practices, dependency review, HTTPS, appropriate authentication and access controls, and testing around the important user journeys. Hosting, backups, monitoring, and patching are defined as part of the delivery and ongoing support arrangement. Where an organisation has specific privacy, security, or governance requirements, we map those controls and evidence needs during discovery.
After launch, we offer ongoing website maintenance packages starting from $540 per month to keep your website secure, updated, and performing at its best. We also offer more comprehensive Care and Enterprise plans that include priority support, ongoing development, and strategic planning. You can find out more here.
Not if the move is planned properly. We map every old URL to its new page with 301 redirects, carry over page titles and descriptions, and check Google Search Console after launch. ROH Wheels moved from WordPress to a new platform without losing its search rankings.
