Forgely is a website design agency that designs, builds and looks after fast, responsive websites for Australian businesses. One team takes you from the first sketch to a site that ranks on Google and keeps earning.
Plenty of agencies hand over a pretty design and leave the hard part to someone else. Forgely does the whole job, from UI/UX design and content structure to development, hosting, SSL and ongoing care.
From a single landing page to a custom website design company brief with hundreds of pages, every build ships responsive, secure and ready to rank. Whether you run a small business, a B2B firm or an NDIS service, you get a clear scope, a fixed quote and a team that stays with you after launch.
We keep the studio small on purpose. That means the work is sharper, the timelines are honest, and you always know who is building your website and why.

We learn your goals, customers and competitors, then agree a fixed scope.
UI/UX and layouts shaped around how people actually buy from you.
Clean development on WordPress, Shopify or WooCommerce, fully responsive.
Testing, Core Web Vitals checks, SSL and a smooth go-live.
Hosting, updates and support so the site keeps performing.
Studio or DIY
A DIY website builder can work for a first site. Once the website starts doing real work, a website design agency that owns the result usually pays for itself.

Talk to usA website design agency plans, designs and builds your website, then keeps it running. Forgely covers the full job, from UI/UX design and content structure to development, hosting, SSL and ongoing care, so you work with one team instead of three.
It depends on the size of the site, the platform and any eCommerce or custom features.
