Small business websites, SEO and Google Ads, built by me
Website Design Ballarat is a one person web design business run by Nick Fritzkowski, building WordPress websites and handling SEO, Google Ads and website care for small businesses in Ballarat and across regional Victoria. I’ve been building websites since 1995 and I do every job myself, with nothing sent offshore.
Nick, the person who builds your website
A clean, quick WordPress website that explains what you do, works on every phone and makes it easy for Ballarat customers to call or send an enquiry.
Search engine optimisation that helps your business show up when people around Ballarat search Google for the service you offer.
Ads that appear at the top of Google for the right searches in the right towns, with tracking so you can see which clicks turned into jobs.
Updates, backups and security checks handled for you every month, from $19 a month with no lock in contract.
One web designer looking after your business from start to finish
Plenty of web companies sell the website locally then send the actual build overseas. You end up explaining your business three times and waiting days for small changes. I work differently. When you hire Website Design Ballarat, I’m the one who plans the pages, writes alongside you, builds the site and looks after it afterwards.
That keeps things simple for small businesses around Ballarat. You get a direct phone number, honest advice about what will and won’t help and a website that sounds like your business rather than a template with your logo dropped in.
Fixed prices, no surprises and a free year of maintenance included
Most small businesses fit one of the first two packages. The advanced option covers online shops, booking systems and member areas. If you need something outside these, I’ll quote it properly before any work starts.

All prices in AUD including GST. Compare every option on the web design page or see online shop websites.
Getting your website in front of people who are ready to buy
A new website only pays for itself when the right people see it. These services help Ballarat customers find you on Google, then keep the site running smoothly once they do.
From $279 a month
Google Business Profile work, on page improvements and local listings, with a monthly report that explains in plain English what changed and why. Month to month.
From $198 a month
Campaigns aimed at the Ballarat postcodes and towns you actually service, with negative keywords and call tracking so your budget goes on real enquiries.
From $19 a month
Backups, plugin and theme updates, security scans and uptime checks so your site stays safe and quick, with a short report each month.
Small business websites are my speciality
Loads of Ballarat businesses start on Facebook. It’s a sensible place to begin. The catch is that most new customers start on Google. A Facebook page rarely appears when someone searches for a plumber in Sebastopol or a cafe in Creswick.
When you’re ready for the next step, I’ll turn what’s already working on your page into a small business website. I reuse your best photos, write up your services properly, connect the site to your Facebook page and set you up on Google so new people can find you.
From building sites in Lucas to cellar doors in the Pyrenees
The Ballarat economy leans on trades and construction, health, tourism, farming and a big mix of family run shops. Each one gets searched for a little differently, so I plan every website around how your own customers look for help.

Website Design Ballarat is new, my experience isn't
I’ve been designing and building websites since the mid nineties, starting with hand coded pages and moving through every platform and Google update since. Website Design Ballarat is how I now help small businesses in Ballarat and the towns around it.
Because the Ballarat side of the business is new, you won’t find a long list of local reviews here yet. What you will get is a web designer who explains things clearly, quotes honestly and treats an early Ballarat client like the most important job on the books.

Website Design Ballarat builds websites for small businesses in Ballarat and is run by Nick Fritzkowski, who has been building websites since 1995. Nick designs and builds WordPress websites himself without outsourcing overseas. He also handles local SEO, Google Ads and WordPress maintenance for businesses across Ballarat, the Central Highlands and regional Victoria.
A small business website in Ballarat from Website Design Ballarat costs $880 for a single page site, $2200 for a complete multi page site or from $3300 for an online shop or booking site. Every package includes GST and a free first year of WordPress maintenance. Domain names and hosting are extra. See all website packages.
A Ballarat business with a Facebook page still needs a website to be found by new customers on Google, because Facebook pages seldom show up in local search results. Keep your page for regular customers and use a website to reach everyone searching for your service. Read more about moving from Facebook to a website.
Building a website for a Ballarat business usually takes one to two weeks for a single page site and three to five weeks for a complete multi page site. The biggest factor is how quickly your text, photos and feedback come through. I give you an estimated timeline in writing before work begins so you know what to expect.
Website Design Ballarat is a web designer for Ballarat businesses that does not outsource any work overseas. Nick Fritzkowski personally plans, designs and builds every website, then looks after the updates and support himself. You deal with the same person the whole way through, by phone, email or video call.
Website Design Ballarat helps local businesses show up on Google Maps by setting up and improving their Google Business Profile, fixing the website pages Google uses to judge relevance and building consistent local listings. Many service businesses around Ballarat also add Google Ads for quicker results. See local SEO for Ballarat businesses.
Every website from Website Design Ballarat is built to work smoothly on phones, tablets and desktop computers. That matters because most people looking for a local business in Ballarat are searching on their phone, often while they’re out and about, so buttons to call or get directions need to be easy to tap straight away.
You don’t need to write your new website on your own, because I help shape the words with you. You tell me about your business, your services and your customers, send any photos you’d like to use and I turn that into clear, well organised pages. You then check everything before it goes live.
Website Design Ballarat works with businesses in every Ballarat suburb plus Creswick, Clunes, Daylesford, Ballan, Bacchus Marsh, Beaufort, Ararat, Maryborough, Avoca and Bendigo. All the work can happen by phone, email and video call, so I can help businesses anywhere in Victoria. See every area I cover.
