About DESC Designs
I’m Sue Onslow, a Melbourne-based website designer and IT specialist passionate about helping businesses build a strong, authentic online presence. Since 2003, I’ve been creating custom websites, providing reliable IT support, and helping businesses navigate the digital world with practical, personalised solutions.
At DESC Designs, I believe every business has a unique story to tell. That’s why I don’t create cookie-cutter websites. I take the time to understand your business, your goals, your audience, and what sets you apart — designing a website that not only looks professional but also connects with your ideal customers and supports long-term business growth.
With a blend of creative design, SEO/LLMO-focused strategy, and technical expertise, I create websites that are visually engaging, user-friendly, mobile responsive, and built to perform in today’s search and AI-driven online landscape.
Beyond web design and tech support, I’m also a wife, mum, proud Nanny to Ivy and Sofia, and cat-mum to Max. I value genuine relationships, honest communication, and doing business in a way that feels real, approachable, and human.
If you’re looking for a Melbourne web designer who speaks your language (not tech speak), genuinely cares about your business, and offers ongoing support you can rely on — you’re in the right place.
Let’s create a website that’s as unique as your business. 💻✨
Please note: we’ll be closed from 17 August to 13 September 2026, while we’re away on an overseas holiday ✈️🌴

Rating
Sue has truly been heaven-sent for my business. She was patient, honest, and explained everything in simple, easy-to-understand language. She is incredibly knowledgeable and up to date with the latest website technology. I highly recommend her services.
100% recommend Desc Designs for your website development/maintenance. Sue was great to work with, explained everything well and was easy to work with.
We honestly couldn’t be happier with the website Sue created for Professional Caulking Group. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, easy to deal with, and genuinely cared about getting everything right for our business rather than just building a “standard” website.What stood out most was how much effort she put into understanding our industry, the services we offer, and even how customers search for caulking online. The site feels clean, professional, fast, and actually reflects who we are as a business. Sue has also been amazing with ongoing support — every small issue, layout tweak, broken link, or SEO adjustment has been handled quickly and properly without us having to chase things up.She’s also been proactive with ideas around SEO, blogs, location pages, and improving visibility online, which has been a huge help for us. You can tell she genuinely wants the business to grow, not just finish the project and move on.We’ve worked with a few people over the years for websites and marketing, and this has easily been the smoothest experience we’ve had.Highly recommend Sue to anyone wanting a professional website with real support behind it.Cheers, Professional Caulking Group
Susan at DESC Designs has been an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional and incredibly well communicated. The website looks fantastic and truly reflects our business, and Susan’s attention to detail and knowledge around SEO has been outstanding.She’s approachable, easy to deal with and genuinely cares about delivering a high-quality result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Susan and DESC Designs to anyone looking for a professional, well-executed website and ongoing support.
A huge thank you to Sue for walking this journey with me. We started the website back in February, then life pressed pause. She’s been patient, kind and steady all the way through. Her graphic flair and eye for detail have made the site look amazing. I’m so grateful 💗
We recently engaged DESE to rebuild our website after it was hacked. Sue is the most responsive and knowledgeable web designer I have worked with in the 17 years of running our business. We can’t wait to work with Sue again on the long list of projects we had previously shelved due to the lack of confidence we held in our previous developers.DESC has been a breath of fresh air, we can’t recommend them enough!!
