Brisbane-founded Clipchamp — a browser-based video editing tool created by QUT graduates in 2013 — was acquired by Microsoft in 2021 and integrated as the native video editor in every Windows 11 installation globally: 400 million+ licensed Windows 11 users now have a Brisbane-built software product at the core of their operating system. This single acquisition made Brisbane's startup credentials internationally undeniable and catalysed significantly increased VC attention to Queensland's technology ecosystem.
When evaluating agencies in Brisbane, ask to see PageSpeed Insights reports on live projects - not screenshots of Lighthouse scores taken in dev mode. Confirm they handle GDPR consent in the codebase directly, not via a third-party plugin. Ask who keeps the domain registrar login and code repository access after the project closes.
Tkist has delivered projects for clients in Brisbane across fintech, professional services, healthcare, and e-commerce. Every site ships with a verified 95+ PageSpeed score on mobile and desktop, WCAG-accessible markup, and full asset ownership transferred to the client on the day of launch.

Factors that affect your quote
Agency location
Brisbane-based agencies charge AUD 80-150/hr. Tkist charges a fixed project price at internationally competitive rates - typically 30-50% less.
Platform choice
WordPress and Shopify projects cost less than fully custom Next.js or bespoke application builds. Platform choice should match your long-term editorial and scaling needs.
Content production
Writing, photography, and translations add cost. Many agencies quote development only and exclude content - always confirm what is and isn't included upfront.
Design complexity
Template-adapted designs start at the lower end. Fully custom UI/UX with bespoke illustrations, motion, or interactive elements shifts the budget significantly.
Integrations
CRM, ERP, booking system, or payment gateway integrations add development time. Each integration needs scoping: some APIs are clean, others are not.
Ongoing support
Factor in hosting, maintenance, and SEO as recurring costs. Tkist provides a fixed monthly support rate. Most Brisbane agencies bill additional time on an hourly basis.
