Who it is for
Sound familiar?
- 01
Your site looks dated, loads slowly on mobile and does not bring in enquiries.
- 02
You run a Shopify store on a stock theme that looks like everyone else's.
- 03
Every small change needs a developer, so the site never gets updated.
- 04
You are not sure whether Google can read your pages properly.
What you get
Website design for small businesses: what you get
Small business website design
Custom-designed sites built with Next.js and served from a global edge network, so pages load fast even on a mid-range phone.
Landing page design
One focused page for a campaign or offer, with the form, tracking and mobile speed set up so paid traffic turns into enquiries.
Shopify stores and custom themes
Online Store 2.0 themes built for your brand: quick add, filters, size guides, delivery notes and a checkout flow your customers trust.
Technical SEO built in
Clean headings, schema markup, sitemaps, redirects and Core Web Vitals handled at build time, not patched on later.
Content you can edit
A CMS or Shopify sections set up so your team can update copy, products and images without calling us.
Migrations without ranking loss
Every old URL mapped to a new one with 301 redirects, so the traffic you already earned comes with you. Full platform moves have their own website migration service.

Ecommerce website development services and Shopify
For most product businesses, Shopify is the right base: payments, stock, shipping and checkout are solved and secure. We set up stores on an existing theme styled to your brand, or design and code a custom Online Store 2.0 theme, as we did for Noirelle Premium, with size-first browsing, quick add from any product grid and sections your team can edit.
We also handle the details that decide whether a store sells: product page structure, collection filters, delivery and returns messaging, payment options for your market, and page speed on mobile.
As an ecommerce website development agency, our Shopify agency services cover store setup, custom themes, apps and payments, and moving an existing store across through our website and Shopify migration service. If you would rather stay on WordPress, our WordPress and WooCommerce service builds WooCommerce stores instead.

Website redesign services
A redesign is the riskiest moment for your search traffic. Before we change anything we record every indexed URL from Google Search Console, then keep the pages that rank, merge the weak ones and 301 redirect everything else to its closest new page. After launch we watch Search Console for four weeks and fix anything that drops.
That is why a website redesign agency should start with search, not looks. AI website design tools can produce a quick first draft, but they do not record your indexed URLs, write redirects or check what Google already ranks. If the redesign also changes platform, such as WordPress to Shopify, our website migration service handles the data and redirects.
- Full URL inventory before launch
- 301 redirect map, tested
- Titles, headings and schema carried over or improved
- Four weeks of post-launch monitoring

How much does a website cost? UK, Australia and Dubai compared
In the UK, freelance web designers commonly quote £1,500 to £3,000 for a small business website. In Australia, small business sites typically cost A$2,000 to A$6,000. In Dubai and the wider UAE, AED 8,000 to 18,000 is common, and US template packages run about US$799 to US$1,999.
Website design cost for small business owners comes down to page count, custom design or a template, copywriting and integrations. Our prices are the same in every market and shown in your currency on the pricing page. You also need to budget for a domain, hosting (included in our care plans for custom sites) or a Shopify plan, and any paid apps.

Hiring a web design agency for the UK, Australia, the US and the UAE
Ceylond works as a remote website design company for small businesses in the UK, Australia, the US and the UAE. You get one team for design, development, SEO and care, with progress kept on a shared board and calls booked in the hours our time zones overlap.
Compared with hiring a web development company in the UK or the USA, the difference is mostly overheads: the process, the code and the ownership are the same. We also work as a Shopify agency for stores in those markets, and when a project goes beyond a website, the same team handles UI/UX design, mobile app development and custom software.
- Fixed prices, shown in your currency
- You own the domain, code and accounts
- One team from design to launch and care
- Written updates on a shared board

Questions
Your questions, answered.
What is a Shopify agency?
A Shopify agency designs, builds and improves online stores on Shopify: setting up themes or coding custom ones, configuring payments and shipping, building apps and integrations, and optimising for conversion. Ceylond builds Shopify stores and custom Online Store 2.0 themes, including white label for other agencies.
How long does a new website take?
A focused business website usually takes four to eight weeks from kick-off to launch. A Shopify store takes three to six weeks on an existing theme, or six to ten weeks with a custom theme. The biggest variable is how quickly content and feedback come back.
Should I use Shopify or a custom-built website?
If you sell physical products online, Shopify is usually the right base: payments, inventory and checkout are solved. If you sell services, need unusual features or care most about speed and SEO, a custom site is often better. We build both and will recommend one after a short call.
Will I lose my Google rankings if I rebuild my site?
Not if the migration is planned. We record every indexed URL, keep the ones that work and 301 redirect the rest to the closest new page, then watch Search Console after launch.
Can you work with businesses in Australia, the UK and the UAE from Sri Lanka?
Yes. Our working day overlaps with the UAE for most of the day, with the UK in your morning, and with Australia in your afternoon. We use that overlap for calls on Google Meet or Zoom and keep progress visible on a shared board.
How much does a website cost in Australia?
A small business website in Australia typically costs A$2,000 to A$6,000. At Ceylond, a 5-page custom business website starts from A$2,490£1,450US$1,790AED 5,900LKR 69,900 and a landing page from A$990£595US$790AED 2,490LKR 29,900. Whether you hire a freelance website designer in Australia or an agency, check what is included: copy, SEO set up, hosting and changes after launch.
How much does a website cost in Dubai and the UAE?
Small business websites in Dubai and the wider UAE commonly cost AED 8,000 to 18,000 from local agencies. Ceylond builds a 5-page business website from A$2,490£1,450US$1,790AED 5,900LKR 69,900 and a Shopify store from A$1,990£1,090US$1,390AED 4,900LKR 119,900, with fixed prices agreed before work starts. Our working day overlaps with the UAE for most of the day, so calls are easy to schedule.
What does a website redesign cost?
A website redesign is usually priced like a new build, because the design and code are new: at Ceylond, from A$2,490£1,450US$1,790AED 5,900LKR 69,900 for a 5-page business website, plus A$250£150US$190AED 590LKR 7,500 for each extra page. Our redesign process includes a URL inventory, a tested 301 redirect map and four weeks of monitoring. Changing platform too is covered by our website migration service.
What is the Shopify store setup cost?
A Shopify store setup at Ceylond starts from A$1,990£1,090US$1,390AED 4,900LKR 119,900: an existing theme styled to your brand, up to 25 products, payments, shipping and policies, live in 3 to 6 weeks. Custom Shopify theme development cost starts from A$5,490£2,950US$3,790AED 13,900LKR 249,900 for an Online Store 2.0 theme coded from scratch. Your Shopify plan and paid apps are billed by Shopify. Agencies can see wholesale rates on our white label Shopify page.
How much does landing page design cost?
A custom landing page from Ceylond starts from A$990£595US$790AED 2,490LKR 29,900: one page, designed mobile first, with the form and tracking set up, live in about 2 weeks. A freelance landing page can cost less, so check whether copy, tracking and page speed are included, because those decide whether paid traffic turns into enquiries.
Can I hire a WordPress developer from you?
Yes. If you want to stay on WordPress, we build and look after WordPress and WooCommerce sites, from A$2,490£1,450US$1,790AED 5,900LKR 59,900 for a business site and A$3,990£2,290US$2,890AED 9,500LKR 149,900 for a WooCommerce store. Agencies can also hire us as a remote WordPress developer under their own brand. See our WordPress and WooCommerce page for packages and care plans.
