The short answer
AR Digital Solutions designs and builds websites for Australian businesses on WordPress, Shopify, Webflow and custom code. Our in house team of 32 handles the design, the build, the content structure and the launch, then keeps the site running afterwards. Fixed scope, fixed price, no lock in contract.
What you actually get
Design built around the enquiry.
We design backwards from what you want a visitor to do, not forwards from a layout.
Content structure and page copy.
We map the pages and write the headings, and we can write the rest.
A fast mobile first build.
Over half your traffic is on a phone. That layout gets designed first, then kept quick with compressed images and caching.
On page SEO groundwork.
Titles, heading structure, schema and redirects off the old URLs. Much cheaper during a build than retrofitted afterwards.
Forms, tracking and CRM.
Forms that land where you'll see them, tracking that fires properly, and a CRM connection if you run one.
Training, handover and hosting.
A recorded walkthrough of your own site, plus web hosting if you want us keeping it up.
Which platform is right for your site
Most agencies recommend the platform they build on. We build on all of them, so here's the honest version.
WordPress, if you publish.
Choose it when the site carries real content volume. Service pages, location pages, resources, a blog. You get full control of URLs, redirects and schema. The trade off is maintenance. Plugins update, things break, and a WordPress site nobody patches becomes a security problem inside a year. WordPress website design
Shopify, if products are the business.
Checkout, payments, GST, inventory and abandoned cart recovery are solved and maintained for you. What you give up is control. The URL structure is fixed, blogging is weak next to WordPress, and the monthly cost climbs with every app. Under a few thousand SKUs it's usually the right call. We're an official Shopify Partner.

Webflow, if design matters more than content volume.
Good for marketing sites where the brand has to look sharp and nothing needs patching. Hosting is included, no plugin stack. The limits are real. CMS collections cap out, complex eCommerce gets awkward, and fewer Australian developers know it, so ask who maintains it if you leave. Webflow website design
Lovable AI, if you're testing an idea.
Good for putting a prototype in front of customers quickly. It isn't a production site. The prototype proves the idea, then it needs real authentication, real data handling and a design that isn't the default. That half is the part we do. Lovable AI website design
Custom, if your rules don't fit a template.
Customer specific pricing, quote to order, stock across warehouses, ERP sync. Once you're bending a platform out of shape to make it behave, custom costs less over three years. eCommerce websites · Custom online stores
Running ads?
Campaign pages are a separate build. Landing page design
Short version. Publishing, WordPress. Products off the shelf, Shopify. A brochure site where the design has to be right, Webflow. Unusual pricing or ordering logic, custom.

How a build runs
We look at what you've got
Your current site, rankings, analytics and the competitors beating you. An honest read, including the parts we wouldn't rebuild.
We agree on scope and price
Page count, platform, integrations, who writes the copy. Fixed number, dates in writing, no variations halfway through.
We design and build it
Design first on the pages that matter most. You watch it happen on a staging link, not in a status email.
We launch and stay on it
Redirects checked, tracking verified, forms tested, Search Console connected. Then hosting and updates carry on.
Who we build for
Businesses with something to lose when the site is bad. Trades whose enquiries arrive through a phone at a job site. Clinics and firms where the site is the first impression. Retailers moving off a marketplace onto their own store. NDIS providers, migration agents and finance brokers, where the copy has to be written around advertising rules rather than fixed after a complaint.
We're a poor fit if you're shopping purely on price.
Why people choose us for this
A development team that's actually ours.
Real developers on staff, not a freelancer in another timezone. Whoever built your site is still here next year.
One account manager.
One name, one number, one inbox, one person who already knows your business.
No lock in contracts.
Projects are fixed scope, support runs month to month. You own the domain, files and hosting account, so leaving is a transfer rather than a negotiation.
"We've been burned by an agency before."
Most people we speak to have been. Attentive during the sale, unreachable after launch. That's why there's no contract to hide behind.
