Web Development in Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's startup capital and home to Atlassian's second HQ, SEEK, REA Group, and hundreds of venture-backed tech companies. Mid-level developer salaries here have crossed A$130,000, and senior React engineers command A$170,000+. We build websites and web applications for Melbourne businesses at 40-60% below those local costs.
Why Melbourne for Web Development?
Melbourne has overtaken Sydney as Australia's startup epicentre. Victoria's tech sector employs over 120,000 people, and the city's fintech, edtech, and marketplace companies are growing fast. But that growth has driven web developer salaries past A$130,000 for mid-level roles, and hiring cycles run 3-4 months. Local web agencies charge A$150-A$250 per hour. Our hybrid model gives Melbourne businesses the same quality of web development at a fraction of the cost — delivered by senior engineers in our Gurugram centre, managed on AEST-aligned schedules.
- Victoria's tech sector employs 120,000+ people, with Melbourne capturing the majority of digital roles
- Mid-level web developer salaries exceed A$130,000 — senior React and Next.js developers command A$170,000+
- Australia's e-commerce market exceeds A$63B, and Melbourne businesses account for a significant share
- Our daily handoff model works with the 4.5-hour gap between Gurugram (IST) and Melbourne (AEST)

Industries We Serve in Melbourne
Melbourne's tech economy is diverse. These four sectors account for the majority of our web development work with Victorian businesses.
Fintech & Financial Services
Melbourne's Collins Street financial district and the Cremorne fintech cluster drive demand for customer portals, onboarding flows, and transaction dashboards. We build web applications that meet APRA and ASIC regulatory requirements and handle real-time financial data.
Education & EdTech
Home to the University of Melbourne, Monash, and a growing edtech sector, the city needs learning platforms, university websites, and student portals. We build accessible, high-performance web applications for education at scale.
Retail & E-Commerce
Melbourne is a retail capital. From Chapel Street boutiques going online to major Australian brands scaling their digital presence, we build e-commerce sites that handle product complexity, seasonal traffic, and Australian payment and shipping requirements.
Marketplace & Platform Businesses
Melbourne is home to REA Group, Carsales, and SEEK — some of Australia's biggest marketplace companies. We build search interfaces, listing pages, seller dashboards, and the web infrastructure that marketplace economics depend on.
How We Work with Melbourne Teams
Gurugram (IST) is 4.5 hours behind Melbourne (AEST). This creates a morning overlap where both teams are online, plus a daily handoff model that keeps development moving across time zones.
Discovery & Scoping
A video call during your Melbourne morning (10am-12pm AEST works well, which is late afternoon IST for our Gurugram team). We review your current site, discuss requirements, and scope the project in 1-2 sessions.
Design & Prototyping
Wireframes and high-fidelity designs in Figma. Mobile-first layouts with your brand guidelines applied. Every key page is approved before development starts — no design debt carried into code.
Development with Daily Handoffs
Two-week sprints. Your Gurugram team starts their day and picks up where the previous day left off. Morning overlap between 7am-11am AEST ensures direct collaboration, and async updates are ready before your afternoon.
Testing & Quality Assurance
Cross-browser testing, real-device mobile checks, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility audits, and performance benchmarks against Google Core Web Vitals. We test on Australian network conditions, not just fast lab connections.
Launch & Ongoing Support
Deployment to your infrastructure (AWS Sydney region, Vercel, or your existing hosting). DNS, SSL, analytics, and documentation included. Post-launch support available with AEST-aligned response times.
