What Sets Seriously Good Design Apart from Other Digital Marketing Agencies?
Written by: Simon Kelly
When you’re choosing a digital marketing partner, many agencies make big promises, create complex audits, and offer quotes without questions to win you over.
But the truth is, skipping steps in sales often leads to headaches later with hidden costs, project delays, and websites that don’t deliver results…
At Seriously Good Design, we take a different approach.
We’ve built our reputation on high quality websites, digital marketing that delivers results, and that’s lead to long-term partnerships with many great Australian businesses.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
1. We Start With Strategy
Most digital marketing agencies skip straight to pricing to try to win the deal and lock you into a contract.
They don’t take time to understand your business goals and available resources before they jump right in with a proposal.
At SGD, we start with strategy.
Our website design process begins by understanding your goals and mapping out a clear Digital Strategy Roadmap.
Why? Because when you launch without strategy, you risk endless scope creep, extra costs, and projects that miss deadlines.
Our structured approach keeps everything on track and ensures the final product achieves your business goals and serves your business for years to come.
SGD has done an amazing job with our website. Right from the beginning, James and his team were thorough, professional, and process-driven. During the website build, they used a project management system, which allowed for project transparency and easy communication.
This is the fourth WordPress website I have implemented for different businesses and the website SGD designed and built is by far the best. The final website was free from errors and saved me hours of proofing, compared to other developers.
I highly recommend speaking to James and his team for your next website build. Also, a big shout out to Ismay from SGD for the awesome work she did managing the whole build proces.

2. We Have a History of Excellence
With more than 300 website projects delivered, we’ve worked with organisations of every size, from ambitious founder-led SMEs to nationally recognised brands.
Some of the brands we’ve partnered with include:
- RSL Victoria
- Sydney Opera Bar
- Accor Hotels
- First Focus
- CyberCX
- Lavazza
- East Coast Car Rentals
- Melbourne Montessori College
- And many more
This track record demonstrates more than just longevity; it proves our ability to deliver consistently, across industries, and at scale.
3. We Custom Design and Build WordPress Websites
A website shouldn’t feel like it’s held together with duct tape or a just be a copy of what’s already out there.
At SGD, we custom-build WordPress websites using our Content Blocks framework, giving you the flexibility to update and manage content without compromising speed or security.
Custom theme = a website that’s designed specifically for your business.
Fewer plugins = faster, more secure and more reliable website.
With this process, tour marketing team gets control without the performance issues that plague cookie-cutter template builds that many other web agencies use to build their websites.
4. We’re Transparent with Our Pricing and Process
Hidden costs? Not here.
We believe in clear website pricing, published openly on our website, so you know what to expect before you even speak with us.
And when we send a proposal, we stick to it. No surprises, no moving goalposts. Just straightforward, reliable project delivery.
5. Dedicated Project Managers
We know that projects fail when communication fails.
That’s why every project comes with a dedicated project manager who keeps everything on track with regular calls and clearly communicated timelines.
This level of accountability ensures your project stays on budget, on schedule, and aligned with your goals.
We keep our project workspace visible to our clients via ClickUp, so you can always see what we’ve done, what’s up next and what we need from you every step of the way.
6. No Long-Term Contracts
We believe partnerships should be based on performance, not lock-in clauses.
Our monthly support, SEO and Google Ads management services come with no long-term contracts.
That gives you the freedom to stay with us because you see results and value our partnership – not because you’re tied down by fine print.
7. Ongoing Support for Growth
Where most freelancers and agencies finish a project and move on, we stay invested in your success.
Beyond launch, we’re here to support you for the long term with digital marketing services to help you grow:
- Website Support Plans: to keep your site secure, updated, and running at peak performance
- SEO Plans: to help you climb the rankings and capture more leads
- Google Ads Management: to generate targeted traffic and conversions
Our mission isn’t just to design websites, it’s to transform our client’s website into a powerful marketing and sales asset that supports their online growth.
