Custom Web Design in Brunswick · Independent Freelancer
Practical Websites for Small Businesses and Professional Practices.
Hi, I’m Lou Kozlevcar. 👋 I help Brunswick business owners build fast, high-performing websites that attract local clients – without the agency rates.
As a freelance web designer for professional service providers, I know that your website needs to do more than just look good. It needs to load fast, rank on Google, and convince visitors to get in touch.
Andrew’s new website is up and running. Many thanks to Lou for designing it for him. Lou Kozlevcar is the most awesome web designer!

How I Work With You
While I work with clients all over Australia remotely, I know the Brunswick market well.
Whether you are competing with the creative boutiques near Sydney Road or you’re a professional service trying to stand out in Merri-bek and the Inner North, I understand the local landscape. (And, I spend enough time enjoying the neighbourhood – if we ever cross paths, you’ll probably find me devouring ramen from Misoya or coffee at Augie’s.)
I don’t do on-site visits or endless in-person meetings. Instead, I offer a streamlined, asynchronous, and remote-first process that respects your time. You and I will only have face-to-face meetings if it helps us get the work done.
- Speed & Performance from Day One: I build bespoke WordPress themes and custom Squarespace sites that are lightweight. I avoid heavy page builders and unnecessary plugins so your site is fast from launch day.
- Marketing-Led Builds: Your website isn’t just a brochure. I plan the SEO and marketing structure right alongside the design phase, so you aren’t playing catch-up later.
- Direct Communication: When you work with me, you work with the expert directly. No account managers, no jargon, just a straightforward process focused on getting results.
If you are a professional service provider ready to upgrade your online presence, you’re in good hands. I’m eager to build something that actually works for your business.

I have been working with Lou for a few years now. I found them at a time when I was suddenly without a web designer and my website was a mess and not actually working properly. Lou came to the rescue and got everything flowing really nicely as well as making some really great design changes that have made my website better than ever.
They are always very responsive and fast and I find the prices to be excellent. I highly recommend Lou. I will be working with them well into the future.

FAQs
How much does web design cost for a Brunswick business?
My minimum engagement for a new website is $2,500. If you already have a website and need improvements rather than a full rebuild, website tune-ups start at $425.
Final pricing depends on the scope, the number of pages, the platform, and whether you need strategy, SEO structure, or more substantial redevelopment. I quote based on the actual work involved, so you get a clear scope rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Do you build custom WordPress websites or use templates?
I primarily build custom WordPress websites with performance and flexibility in mind. That means a site that feels tailored to your business and avoids unnecessary bloat from off-the-shelf themes or excessive plugins.
Can you help with SEO as part of the website project?
Yes. I plan the website structure with SEO in mind from the start, so the site is easier to grow through search later rather than needing major fixes after launch.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and fast?
Yes. I build with speed and mobile usability in mind from the beginning by keeping the site lightweight and avoiding unnecessary features that slow it down.
Do you provide website support after launch?
Yes, if the project calls for it. I also offer WordPress monitoring and care-related support for suitable websites, including backups, theme and plugin updates.
Are you actually based in Brunswick?
Yes. My studio is actually based here in Brunswick, near Sydney Road.
