Web53Solutions is a Melbourne website design and web development agency building custom websites, mobile and web apps, eCommerce stores and AI automation for businesses across Australia. Building digital experiences that inspire.
Web53Solutions is an Australian digital agency built around what businesses actually need: website design that earns trust in the first two seconds, website development engineered to be fast and secure, app development that puts your business in your customers' pockets, and AI automation that quietly removes hours of admin every week. Behind all of it sits the infrastructure, device management and cybersecurity that keeps the whole thing running and defended.
We are based in Melbourne and work with small businesses, trades, professional practices, eCommerce brands and enterprise teams across Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and regional Australia. Every project is custom, fixed-price, and handed over as code you own outright.
Two partners, two disciplines, one team. Software engineering and AI on one side, infrastructure and security on the other, so you get the whole stack without managing two suppliers.
Kumail Hassan
Founder & Lead Solutions Architect
“Most agencies build websites. We build the systems a business runs on, and make them beautiful enough that people actually notice.”
Web engineering, applications and AI automation
Kumail has spent a decade where engineering meets business: building platforms for enterprises, automating operations for trades and construction companies, and putting AI to work in real workflows long before it was fashionable.
He leads the design and engineering side of every project, from the first architecture decision through to the code that ships.
Mission
Engineering excellence for every client, at every scale.
Vision
The agency businesses trust with their digital future.
Philosophy
Simplicity survives. Build systems that outlive trends.

Ships his first commercial website and finds the craft that becomes a career.
Enterprise years
Building internal platforms and integrations for established businesses, and learning first-hand how software behaves at real scale.

A deep dive into CRM, workflow automation and the systems businesses genuinely run on day to day.
The AI shift
Adopting LLM technology early, shipping AI-assisted operations before most agencies had figured out the acronym.

Building what's next
A growing portfolio across construction, healthcare, trades, professional services and government.
Hatim Dhila
Co-Founder & Head of Infrastructure and Security
“Good infrastructure is invisible. You only ever notice it on the day it fails, and by then the decisions that mattered were made years earlier.”
Networking, device management, IT infrastructure and cybersecurity
Hatim has spent fifteen years keeping business technology running and secure: designing networks for multi-site operations, managing fleets of devices across distributed teams, and hardening the infrastructure that everything else depends on.
He leads the infrastructure and security side of the business, which means the platforms we build sit on foundations that are properly designed, monitored and defended rather than assembled and hoped for.
Mission
Infrastructure that stays up, stays fast and stays secure.
Vision
Security treated as a foundation, never as an afterthought.
Philosophy
Design for the failure you have not had yet.
Core Expertise
First site live
Built and launched the family business website, turning a hobby into a first real deliverable.
Independent consulting
Began freelancing in IT support and consulting, working directly with businesses on their day-to-day technology.
First networks
Moved into networking and infrastructure, learning the fundamentals the way they stick: by fixing them under pressure.
Infrastructure at scale
Designed and operated server and network environments for multi-site businesses, where downtime carries a real cost.
Knowledge transfer
Worked as an IT trainer, translating hands-on experience into skills other people could use.
Devices everywhere
Led endpoint and device management as teams dispersed, keeping fleets patched, controlled and usable from anywhere.
Security first
Shifted deliberately into cybersecurity as ransomware reshaped the threat landscape: hardening, monitoring, access control and the compliance work behind it.
Microsoft recognition
Received recognition from Microsoft as an Innovative Educator Expert for the creative use of technology in teaching and learning, awarded again in 2022.
The AI shift
Began implementing AI across planning, automation and security, moving past experimentation into production use.
Web53Solutions
Co-founded the agency, bringing infrastructure and security in-house so clients get the full stack from one team.
Foundations that hold
Securing and supporting the networks, devices and infrastructure behind every platform we build.
Behind every Web53 project is a team of specialists: website designers, web and app developers, cloud engineers, AI automation experts and SEO analysts, each one obsessed with its own corner of the craft.
Art direction, UI systems & motion
Designers who treat every screen as a brand moment, where typography, colour and motion all speak the same language.
React, Next.js & animation engineering
Engineers obsessed with the last 60 frames per second. Fast, accessible, and pixel-faithful to the design.
APIs, databases & platform logic
The invisible half of every great product: resilient services, clean data models and APIs that scale without drama.
Azure, AWS & edge networks
Architects who plan for the day your traffic multiplies by a hundred, then make that day feel completely boring.
CI/CD, observability & security
Every deploy automated, every metric watched, every incident caught before your customers ever notice.
Infrastructure, endpoints & cyber defence
The people who keep the lights on and the doors locked, from network design through to incident response.
LLM integration & intelligent agents
Specialists who turn Claude and GPT into real outcomes. Not demos. Systems your business actually runs on.
Technical SEO & content strategy
Analysts who read search algorithms like source code and build visibility that compounds every month.
Delivery, timelines & communication
One point of contact, weekly demos, zero surprises. Your project always knows exactly where it stands.
Support, training & growth
The relationship doesn't end at launch. We measure our success by what your platform does next year.
From custom website design and website development to app development, AI automation, eCommerce, CRM integration and SEO. Every engagement is engineered for measurable results. Tap any service to see how we approach it.
A snapshot of the websites, online stores and platforms we've designed, developed and shipped for Australian businesses, each one built to outwork its industry.
A luxury non-alcoholic perfume oil brand with a storefront built from scratch. Editorial product pages, a checkout that flows, and a look that finally matches the product.
A boutique home-baked brownie brand wrapped in a cream-and-gold identity. An elegant product showcase and effortless ordering make small-batch baking feel genuinely premium.
A Melbourne electrical business built to bring in work. Clear service pages, tap-to-call, quote capture and local SEO covering everything from emergency faults to EV charger installs.
A Melbourne painting company site with clear service scoping, instant quote requests and solid local SEO across residential, rental, strata and commercial work.
An occupational health and safety consultancy platform. Audits, risk assessments and training presented under a serious, compliance-focused brand with easy consultation booking.
A construction, carpentry and outdoor-living brand in Victoria. A confident, editorial site that puts real craftsmanship on show and turns visitors into project enquiries.
A premium, by-appointment hair extensions studio in Melbourne. A discreet boutique experience with tailored service breakdowns and easy consultation booking for a clientele that expects the best.
Australia's largest chess, puzzles and traditional games wholesaler. A deep, category-rich storefront with fast search, featured collections and a checkout built for serious volume.
A Heidelberg wheels and tyres specialist with a bold, high-contrast brand. Service pages, service-area targeting and tap-to-call, all tuned to win local automotive searches.
A Dandenong wash-and-fold laundry service with a bright, friendly brand. A clear enquiry flow, messaging built around weekly loads, and an online essentials range on the way.
Beyond websites, we build the internal systems businesses run on. These are private client platforms, so the screens below are anonymised, but the engineering is exactly what shipped.
After-hours calls used to land wherever the old phone tree pointed, which was rarely where the on-call tech actually was. We built a rostering platform that drives Microsoft Teams calling directly, so every out-of-hours call reaches whoever is genuinely on shift. Handovers run themselves, escalation kicks in when a call goes unanswered, and every routing decision is written to an audit log.

Not every project has a homepage. 13 of the engagements we have delivered live in the network, the tenant and the database, and they are the reason the things you can see stay up.
The foundations everything else depends on.
Migrated virtual machines, Exchange, file storage and SQL databases into the cloud with minimal disruption to daily operations.
Re-architected server-bound workloads into serverless code, removing maintenance overhead and shifting costs to actual usage.
Rebuilt multi-site networks with segmentation and secure remote access, containing risk while keeping teams connected.
Designed and tested backup and recovery strategies with defined recovery targets, so an outage stays an inconvenience rather than an existential event.
Deployed monitoring across infrastructure and endpoints so issues surface as alerts rather than as customer complaints.
Access controlled, exposure closed, audits survivable.
Designed and deployed a complete device management platform from a blank tenant to a fully enrolled, policy-controlled fleet.
Rolled out single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and least-privilege access so the right people reach the right systems and no one else does.
Assessed critical line-of-business applications for vulnerabilities, access flaws and data exposure, then delivered a remediation path the business could actually follow.
Aligned infrastructure, documentation and controls to recognised frameworks, turning audits into a checkpoint rather than a scramble.
Where the infrastructure starts doing the work.
Implemented agent-driven workflows that improve speed, accuracy and consistency, handling repeatable work without constant human oversight.
Delivered connected solutions across Power BI, Power Automate and Power Apps, replacing manual reporting and paper processes with live data and automated flows.
Rewrote and re-indexed slow queries to cut execution times and lift performance across the applications depending on them.
Built an immersive VR environment for training and engagement, turning abstract material into something people could step inside.
Private engagements. Client names and environment detail withheld by default.
We measure ourselves by outcomes. Projects delivered, clients retained, and platforms that keep on performing.

Continuous improvement, proactive maintenance and a partner who answers. Launch is the beginning, not the end.
We choose our tools the way we write code. Deliberately. Every technology below has earned its place in production across our website development, app development and AI automation work.
Any agency can call itself the best. We'd rather show you what we measured. Every figure below came from our own audit tool, and you can run the same checks on these sites yourself.
Worked with us?
Reviews from real clients are how other businesses find us. It takes about thirty seconds.
Measured with our free audit tool in August 2026. Run the same checks on any site, including ours.
Everything you need to know about working with Web53Solutions. Still curious? Reach out. We love a good brief.
We price every project individually rather than publishing a rate card, because scope varies enormously. A focused small-business website, a multi-location platform with integrations and a custom SaaS build are not comparable. Cost is driven by the number of page templates, the integrations required and how much custom functionality sits behind the pages. Tell us what you need and you'll get a fixed proposal before any work starts.
Tell us where your business needs to go and we'll come back with a straight answer and a fixed proposal, whether that's website design, website development, app development or AI automation.
