We’re not a faceless overseas agency. We’re local — based in Malvern East, a short drive from the Koornang Road food strip — so we understand the Carnegie market and can meet in person when it helps.
That local knowledge goes straight into your website and your local SEO — so when nearby customers search, you’re the business they find.
“Our new website is everything we wanted — the brand, the typography, the warmth. Lumen captured the aesthetic perfectly. We’ve had so many compliments from clients and partners.”
“Since the new site went live, our booking enquiries have gone through the roof. Lumen built something that actually converts — not just looks good. Fast, professional, easy to work with.”
“Lumen completely transformed our online presence. The site is clean, fast, and our enquiries have jumped noticeably since launch. They hit every deadline and communicated clearly the whole way.”
Absolutely. We're based locally in Malvern East, just minutes from Carnegie, and work with businesses right across the area — from first-time websites to full rebuilds.
It depends on what you need. A rebuild starts from $990, a brand-new custom website from $2,500, and advanced business sites from $5,500. You'll get a fixed, upfront quote — no surprises, no ongoing lock-in fees.
Most websites are designed, built, and launched within 2–4 weeks, depending on the size of the project and how quickly we get your content. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Every site we build is optimised for search from day one — clean code, schema markup, fast load times, and proper structure. Combined with a Google Business Profile, that's what gets Carnegie businesses found locally.
Never. Every website is custom-designed and hand-built from scratch, so it's faster, ranks better, and you own 100% of the code — no monthly platform fees holding you hostage.
