Web Design
Lumina is a Queensland-based website design and web development studio, specialising in bespoke, personalised and customer-focussed web design experiences that bear fresh, creative websites for businesses who looking to grow. We’re different from other Web Design Agencies that run you through their websites churn as quickly as possible, treating new projects as another number. Lumina is hands-on, personal and take our time to deliver an intimate experience that has as much customer involvement as you’d prefer.
We’re a small group of dedicated designers with a large group of happy, successful clients and we’ve successfully launched a multitude of new websites for clients ranging from large national corporates to small, individual side-businesses. But our results are always the same.
As a leading WordPress-based website design studio, our streamlined development processes and library of development tools allow us to offer high quality websites at an affordable price. From a simple brochure website to an advanced e-Commerce solution, we can create the ultimate website to meet your online business goals and digital requirements. All of our custom website design and development projects follow a structured development process that helps us execute your project on-time and on-budget.
Whether we’re engaging your audience with interactive web design or bringing brand new traffic and income streams to your website, we’re focussed on results. We use our technical and creative skill and industry insight to help you meet your online, digital goals.

WordPress Web Design
Why We Use WordPress
All Lumina’s websites are developed on a flexible and fully customised version of WordPress, the world’s leading open source content management system and trusted by brands including CNN, The New York Times, Forbes, Mashable, WSJ Magazine, Bloomberg, Microsoft News, Sony and BBC. WordPress powers over 35% of all websites globally and runs over 455 million websites. It is robust, reliable, highly flexible and loved by the search engines.
WordPress is web platform you can use to create a highly functional, beautifully engaging website. While WordPress started as a blogging system, it has since evolved to be used as a full content management system and so much more through the thousands of integrated plugins, widgets, and themes.
Lumina believes in freedom, transparency and control. Unlike some agencies, we’ll never tie you into an obscure or complex CMS that has been custom developed. Because we use WordPress, once your site has gone live, you’ll avoid costly fees for changes and additions and have the freedom to manage your website yourself if you choose.
With Lumina, there are no nasty surprises or painful, recurring fees to use your CMS. Our main aim is to offer affordable website design that doesn’t compromise on quality. WordPress allows us to do just that.
