Local to you
Website design for The Gap, Bardon and Brisbane’s western suburbs
The Local Enquiry Co is based in Brisbane’s western suburbs, so this is home ground. Two of our live client sites are right here: Elizabeth & Co, a hair salon in Bardon, and Wire & Watt Electrical, a western-suburbs electrician.
A local build includes a page for each main service (if you’re unsure how many, read do you need a separate page for each service), your Google Business Profile set up or tidied, and local business schema — the structured data that tells Google and AI tools who you are and where you work.

Need a more specific answer? Send a short note and Jacquie will recommend the simplest sensible next step.
Which areas do you design websites for?
We’re based in Brisbane and design websites for local businesses across Brisbane’s inner and western suburbs — The Gap, Bardon, Ashgrove, Paddington, Kenmore, Toowong and Indooroopilly — and right across South East Queensland, including Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redlands, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Scenic Rim. Recent builds include Elizabeth & Co, a hair salon in Bardon, and Wire & Watt Electrical in Brisbane.
How much does a local-business website cost?
Current starting prices are shown on the packages page. The final price depends on page count, copy, functionality, content readiness and any third-party services.
How long does a website take?
A focused small-business website is generally built in weeks rather than months once the required content and decisions are available. The written proposal confirms the schedule.
Can I update it myself?
Yes, where the chosen platform and project scope include client editing. The recommended delivery approach and ownership are agreed before the build.
Do I pay a deposit before I see anything?
No. I design a homepage concept for your business first, so you can see the look, feel and direction — you only pay a deposit once you're happy to go ahead.
