Will my website rank on Google?
Every website we build launches with SEO fundamentals in place: fast loading speed, mobile-first structure, schema markup, optimised headings and meta tags, and keyword-mapped content. Ranking competitively for valuable Sydney keywords also requires ongoing SEO (content, local citations, backlinks) which we offer as a monthly service. As an agency, we've placed over 13,000 keywords on Google's first page for our clients.
Do you work with businesses outside Sydney?
Yes. While we specialise in the Sydney market CBD, Parramatta, North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, Western Sydney, and Sutherland Shire we work with clients across NSW and Australia-wide. All meetings can be conducted via video call at times that suit you.
What platform do you build websites on?
Most of our websites are built on WordPress the world's most popular CMS because it offers full design flexibility, easy content management, strong SEO capability, and no lock-in to a proprietary builder. For ecommerce, we build on WooCommerce or Shopify depending on your needs. For custom applications, we develop with Laravel and modern frameworks.
Can you redesign my existing website without losing my Google rankings?
Yes this is one of our specialties. We audit your current site's rankings and traffic first, then preserve your SEO equity during the redesign through proper 301 redirects, content migration, and structural improvements. Most clients see rankings improve after a Phnix Tech redesign, not drop.
Do you provide website content and images?
Absolutely. Our in-house content team writes SEO-friendly, conversion-focused copy for every page, and we can supply professional stock imagery or coordinate photography. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like.
Should I hire a web design agency or a freelancer?
A freelancer can be cheaper, but an agency gives you a full team designer, developer, SEO specialist, content writer plus project management, accountability, and support that doesn't disappear after launch. If your website is a serious business asset, an agency is the safer long-term investment. (We've written a detailed comparison on our blog.)
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and support?
Yes. Our maintenance plans cover security updates, backups, performance monitoring, content changes, and priority support so your website stays fast, secure, and current while you focus on running your business.
Can you also handle my Google Ads and social media marketing?
Yes. Phnix Tech is a full-service digital agency. Beyond website design, we manage SEO, Google Ads, Meta (Facebook/Instagram) Ads, Google Business Profile optimisation, and content marketing giving you one accountable partner for your entire online presence.
