Melbourne has no shortage of web design agencies. What it has a shortage of is agencies priced for a business turning over two million rather than twenty.
Two Shores Online is a Philippines-based team that gives Melbourne businesses the same four capabilities a full-service web design and marketing agency sells, without the account management layer you are quietly paying for. Websites, search, social media and virtual assistance, run together by people who talk to each other.
Manila runs on UTC+8 all year. Melbourne runs on AEST for roughly half the year and AEDT for the other half, which puts us two hours behind you in winter and three in summer.
Manila runs on UTC+8 and does not observe daylight saving. We move our start times with the Victorian changeover in October and April so the overlap stays the same all year.
Every Melbourne business that calls us is somewhere in this list, usually in more than one place at once.
The gap between a six-hundred-dollar-a-month freelancer and a six-thousand-dollar-a-month Melbourne retainer is where most growing businesses get stuck. A dedicated offshore team sits in that gap deliberately.
Collins Street rent, Australian salaries and a partner margin are all inside the hourly rate you pay. None of that touches the quality of the HTML. We carry Philippines overheads, so more of your budget converts to output.
Most Melbourne businesses we speak to have a developer, an SEO contractor, a social freelancer and someone running the Google Ads on the side. Nobody owns the result. We run all four, and they sit in the same room.
Retail, hospitality and events run hard from October to March and quiet down after Easter. Scale hours up for the run-in and back down after, without renegotiating a twelve-month retainer.
The same four service lines as everywhere else, aimed at Victorian search behaviour and Melbourne business hours. Website design, web development and a web design agency in Melbourne that also runs your SEO and social: one team, one invoice.
Custom-coded, WordPress and e-commerce web development in Melbourne, built for speed, flexibility and a tailored user experience — plus the ongoing care that keeps them performing. We are the web design company Melbourne businesses brief in their own hours, and we handle ecommerce web design Melbourne retailers need, plus rebuilds as well as new builds.
About Web DevelopmentSearch engine optimisation, paid search, content and brand management working as one strategy instead of four disconnected activities. An SEO company and search engine marketing team in one, so SEO agency services are quoted as a single plan.
About Marketing & SEOChannel strategy, content planning, posting, community support and performance monitoring — handled end to end by a team that treats your channels like their own. Social media agency services sized for small business social media marketing, not enterprise retainers.
About Social MediaAdministrative support, client communication and marketing operations handled by trained assistants who work inside your systems and your hours. Virtual assistant services for small businesses, from assistants we train and contract ourselves rather than the virtual assistant companies that resell a marketplace.
About Virtual AssistanceA Melbourne business assembling this locally is typically looking at a part-time marketing coordinator, a web maintenance retainer, an SEO contractor and a social media freelancer. Four invoices, four sets of context to maintain, and nobody accountable when traffic drops. We are one agreement, one named contact and one monthly report covering all of it.
If your question is not here, send it through. We answer every enquiry personally.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Our team is in the Philippines. What we have is Melbourne experience: the team spent years delivering for an Australian web development company and its Victorian client base, so the standards, the spelling and the pace are already familiar.
Not routinely. We run video calls on a weekly cadence, and most clients find that is more contact than they had with their previous local agency. If you need someone in the room for a board presentation, we will tell you upfront that we are not the right fit for that part.
For local search, yes. Suburb targeting, Victorian search behaviour and Google Business Profile work are things we do daily. For anything that needs presence on the ground, such as event activations or local media buying, we will refer you rather than fake it.
Invoices are issued in Australian dollars. Our team is contracted in the Philippines, so the arrangement is a service agreement rather than employment, which is worth confirming with your accountant before you start.
There is no minimum bundle. Most clients of our web development company in Melbourne start with the one thing that is hurting most, usually the website design or the admin load, and add services once the working relationship is proven.
Same team, same standards. The difference between these pages is the clock and the market, not the work.
Start with the service you need today and scale from there.
