Recent Advancements in Australian Website Building
For the average Australian household, 2025 has not been the easiest time. With most software companies focusing on offshore markets, and others constrained by venture capital and stakeholder demands, we (Dazzly) continue to deliver innovations that genuinely benefit those at home, in our home, Australia.
In the past, we have discussed the difference between the traditional website building process and using a website builder. In this article, we will expand on this by elaborating on the latest innovations that Dazzly has pushed out in mid-2025 that matter to the average household, small business owner or entrepreneur in Australia.
Recent innovations we will discuss in this article:
1. Pre-made website designs focused on specific industry
2. Launch of the ‘Consultant’ template
3. Ability to toggle ‘small’ and ‘large’ website design size
4. Main menu overhaul
5. New pricing plans to best support the needs of the Australian website market
1. Pre-made website designs focused on specific industries
When you go to make a website for yourself, how are you going to know which design and layout is “best” for your specific business? Despite some people having inherent design skills and an eye for craftsmanship, for example, a sole trader who is a painter, how are they going to know whether a layout called “Flux” or “Rockstar” is best for their business website? In-order to keep things as simple as possible, we now offer the ability to simply input your business type (category) and we will automatically select the best web design, including some images, text and other assets, that we believe will be a great starting point for most people in your industry in Australia. It only takes 30 seconds to sign-up, and about the same amount of time for your initial website design to appear before your eyes. This puts you at ease and in the driving seat. No technical or difficult decisions will be required up-front, and the design can all be altered - so jump in and give it a try, you’ll soon find yourself better informed and looking at a website design that you’re comfortable making edits to and building yourself.
When you choose an Australian website building software like ours, you can expect more industries and trades to be included within this list. We build the list further based on the range of trades and businesses that our customers register with us, so rest assured, if people are doing the same work as you, it will soon be supported by us!
2. Launch of the ‘Consultant’ template
Over the years, we have had a wide range of businesses signing up that were typically single-owner operated, fronted in-person and centered around consultation services, with a range of industries as diverse as finance, healthcare, legal and even the paranormal – Aussies can do it all. With our ‘Consultant’ template, you will find that no matter the subject-matter of your expertise, you will be presented with a layout and design that lie somewhere in your realm, and are easily edited to suit your business, brand and specific services. We’re very proud to offer this template, because as a nation of entrepreneurs, Australians deserve the easiest website building experience that reflects what they do from the first step. You ask, we listen, and as a result a much wider range of businesses will find themselves accommodated easier from the first step.
3. Ability to toggle ‘small’ and ‘large’ website design size
Although customers love our Service Warrior template series, we also acknowledged that many customers were still looking for just a single page to explain and represent their businesses. This being the case, we introduced the ability for customers to slim down their templates by selecting the ‘Small’ website option. This has been appreciated by many customers who either did not have the content ready, or simply wanted to get online in minutes, which they were able to do whilst still enjoying the full benefits of our latest template. Now it is even easier to build a website in minutes, register your ideal domain (.com.au) and launch your every for all to see!
4. Main Menu overhaul
Our creative customers were asking when it would be possible to make further adjustments to their website menu. Whether a single or multi-page website, there are lots of reasons to want to add a Menu Item to an external page, or to re-order the menu to show-case a particular part of your website. If you want the Gallery to be first or to have a direct link to your Facebook or other social media directly from the menu, Dazzly now can customise the Main Menu design to your specific needs. Combined with the consultant template, this really allow you to make the website design unique and your own, and the results have been fantastic – our customers have created so many different menu styles and designs. We are proud and always looking to improve the customisability of our websites without sacrificing the simplicity of how the website building process works. We will always keep the process simple.
5. New pricing plans to best support the needs of the Australian website market
Times are tough in Australia. We’re not like any other country in the world. Often that is something to celebrate, but the flip side is sometimes we have things a little bit harder. This being the case today, our new pricing plans are simplified and offer an attractive option depending on your budget and need for support. Happy going solo? Take the low-cost monthly plan. Think you might need a little help and looking to grow your website too? Choose the Growth plan and our team can directly support you through your first build and beyond!
In conclusion, we will always listen to our customers and deliver the things they want but our core focus is keeping the process of building a high-quality website non-technical and available to everyone in Australia. There are other developments that have not been mentioned above, such as further compatibility for a range of mobile devices to build websites, but again this is just one more small step in our goal of making websites more accessible no matter which corner of Australia you live in, or what mobile device you use – you don’t need the latest flashy phone to be able to build on Dazzly.
