How much does a small business website cost in Australia?

Our focused one-page website is $499. A custom website of up to five pages is $1,290 and includes one professional email setup. You receive a clear scope and price before work begins.

Do you work with businesses outside my city?

Yes. We work with businesses in every state and territory, from capital cities to regional towns. The whole process runs through email, WhatsApp and shared browser previews, so location does not affect the workflow.

What if I do not have a logo or any photos?

Most people we talk to do not. We can draw you a simple logo and use proper stock photography for your trade until you have your own shots. It will still look like your business rather than a template.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site includes essential search groundwork: fast loading, mobile-friendly layouts, page titles, descriptions and structured data. We can also help connect your Google Business Profile. Rankings depend on competition, content and ongoing work, so we do not make unrealistic number-one promises.

Can I update the website myself?

If you want to, we will add a simple editing screen so you can change your own text, prices, hours and photos. Most owners would rather text us the change. That is included in the care plan and it is usually done that day.

Can I message you on WhatsApp?

Yes. Tap the chat button on any page and it opens WhatsApp with a message ready to go. Handy if you are on a job and cannot talk.

Q: How long does it take to build my website?

A focused one-page website usually takes three to five working days once we have your details and photos. Custom five-page websites take longer depending on content and feedback. Reviews happen through email, WhatsApp and browser previews.

The real problem

Your business may already be better than it looks online.

Good businesses lose trust when customers cannot quickly understand the service, the current website feels dated on mobile, or social media is doing a website’s job.

What we do

Three ways to move your business forward.

Start with the level of website your customers need today. Add complexity only when the business needs it.

Launch

One focused page

A professional starting point that explains the offer, builds trust and gives customers a clear enquiry path.

Establish

Up to five custom pages

For established businesses with several services, a stronger information structure and room to grow.

Grow

Rebuild, extend and care

Replace a dated site, add useful pages or integrations, and keep the finished website secure and current.

Getting found on Google

Real page titles, structured data, fast loading, and a hand setting up your free Google Business Profile. That listing is what puts you in the map results when someone searches near me.

Someone to look after it

Text us a change and it is usually done the same day. Monitoring, backups, SSL and hosting sit underneath it. $59 a month and you can stop any time.

Logo and the basics

No logo? We will draw you something clean, pick your colours, and make sure the same look carries across your site, your invoices and your Google listing.

Questions

Questions we get asked about small business websites

Clear answers, without agency language.

Which package is suitable for my business?

The $499 one-page website suits a focused offer. The $1,290 custom website suits businesses with several services. Bookings, payments and larger sites receive a custom scope. Use the package finder above for a quick recommendation.

How long does it take to build my website?

A focused one-page site usually takes three to five working days once we have your details and photos. Custom five-page builds take longer depending on content and feedback. Reviews happen through email, WhatsApp and browser previews.

What do I need to provide?

Your business details, services, coverage area and any existing words, images or branding. If something is missing, we will identify it in the content plan.

What happens if I dislike the first design?

You review the design direction before the full build is completed. We use your feedback to make the agreed refinement rounds, so concerns are resolved early.

Are there additional or surprise costs?

No surprise charges. Your written scope sets the price and inclusions. The price changes only if you request extra pages, features or other work outside that scope.

Do I own my website?

Yes. The domain, the words, the finished site, all yours. No contract on the care plan either. If you ever want to move it somewhere else we will help you pack it up.

Can you help with writing, images and a logo?

Yes. We can organise rough notes into web content, source suitable licensed imagery and quote a simple brand or logo foundation when needed.

What is included in the $59 a month care plan?

Edits and content updates, security and uptime monitoring, backups we actually test, your SSL certificate, and hosting. It is a service plan rather than a hosting bill, and you can stop it whenever you like.

Will the website rank first on Google?

Every build includes essential technical groundwork, but nobody can honestly guarantee first position. Rankings depend on competition, content, authority and ongoing work.

How do we communicate without telephone calls?

Email carries the project decisions and files. WhatsApp handles quick questions. Working browser previews let you review the actual site on your own screen.
