Whale Digital Consulting is a Melbourne Bayside web design and AI automation studio, founded in 2026, offering cafe and restaurant websites in three fixed packages — A$499, A$1,699 and A$4,800 — with every other industry scoped and quoted individually, quoted upfront, with free hosting and no lock-in.
Updated 20 September 2026
You're running the whole show — sales, service, the books. The website's been 'good enough' for years, quietly losing you enquiries to competitors who look sharper online.
A clean, fast site that does the heavy lifting: clear on what you do, easy to contact, found on Google — without the bloat or the lock-in a big agency sells you.
More enquiries from the same traffic, and a site you can run yourself. Your hardest-working staff member, working while you sleep.
What a small business site actually needs
A visitor knows what you offer and how to contact you in five seconds — not after scrolling a brochure.
On-page SEO and a Google Business Profile so nearby customers find you — without paying for ads forever.
Edit it yourself, free hosting, no lock-in. No $300/month builder holding your site hostage.
Fast, findable, and built to convert — the three things a small business site has to do, without the agency price tag.
Our fixed website packages — cafe and restaurant pricing
Starter — $499
A sharp single-page site that says what you do, where you are, and how to get in touch. Live fast, yours outright, free hosting.
Professional — $1,699
Up to five custom pages you edit yourself, with SEO, Google Search Console, a reviews widget and AI visibility (AEO) built in. Our most popular package.
Enterprise — $4,800
Everything in Professional plus custom features — bookings, ordering, member areas — scoped to exactly what your business needs.
Every package is a fixed price quoted upfront — no hourly surprises, no lock-in. Not sure which fits? Tell us what you need and we'll tell you straight, including what's not worth paying for.

AHPRA-compliant sites with online booking that catches patients after hours.
Restaurants & cafés
Menus that load, photos that sell, booking or ordering wired straight in.
Small business web design covers every industry — the three fixed prices above are our cafe and restaurant packages, and anything else is scoped and quoted individually. These are just the industries we get asked about most.
Built for every kind of small business
One site, your business, your suburb — set up to show up when nearby customers search for what you do. If your suburb is around the bay, we can work face to face — see website design in Bayside.

When someone nearby searches for what you do, you want to be the name they see first — in the map, in the results, in the AI answer. That's local SEO Melbourne — the SEO most small businesses actually need, done properly.
Affordable web design Melbourne
Anyone can sell you a cheap website. Affordable web design in Melbourne should mean the opposite: a fixed price you see before we start, and a site that brings in enough work to pay for itself — not one that costs you more in lost work than a good one ever would.
Web design for tradies
A customer's standing in their kitchen with a burst pipe. They tap the first tradie whose site loads, looks legit, and shows a number. If that's not you, it's the bloke down the road.
Whale Marketing in One
It reads your sources, drafts in your voice, and keeps a record of what went out. Nothing leaves the building until you say so.
Content marketing Melbourne
Content marketing usually means a separate agency, a separate retainer, content that lives on someone else's blog. Ours publishes straight to your own site — 2–4 new pieces a month that feed the SEO and AI-visibility work you're already paying for, not a second thing to manage.
