Fixed Price — No Lock-In
The number one reason tradies put off a website is that they expect it to cost a fortune, and nobody will give them a straight number. Most agencies charge by the hour, so they genuinely cannot tell you. We quote one fixed price before any work starts, and that is the price you pay.
Website Packages
All prices include GST. Every package includes hosting setup, an SSL certificate, mobile layout, a working contact form, and the search fundamentals that get you indexed properly. You own the finished site outright.
Starter
$799
one-off, inc GST
A single-page site that does the job: who you are, what you do, the suburbs you cover, and an obvious way to call you. You supply the words and photos. Google Business Profile set up properly, which for most trades matters more than the site itself.
One page · your content · mobile · contact form · GBP setup · live in about a week
Business — most popular
$1,790
one-off, inc GST
Five to six pages with the copy written for you, so it reads like a business rather than a notice board. A page for each main service, a gallery of your work, structured data so AI assistants and Google both understand what you do, and your Google Business Profile optimised rather than just created.
5–6 pages · copywriting included · service pages · gallery · schema markup · GBP optimisation · 2–3 weeks
Complete
$2,990
one-off, inc GST
Ten or more pages with a dedicated page per service and per suburb you want to win, because nobody searches "plumber" — they search "blocked drain Preston". The full SEO foundation across every page, a quote request form, and six months of support after launch.

The Part That Matters
There is a common deal around at the moment: a website for very little money, paid monthly, forever. What is not always spelled out is who owns it. In most of those arrangements the agency keeps the domain, the files and the content — so the month you stop paying, the site goes dark and you start again from nothing.
We do not do that. You own the domain, the files and the content from day one. If you want to move it to another host, or hand it to someone else in two years, you can, and we will help you do it. The build is paid once.
That is also why we would rather quote honestly than win on price. A $200 website exists, and what you get for $200 is a template with your logo on it and no plan for how anyone finds it.
Optional, Monthly
Website Care
$79/mo
cancel any time
Hosting, security updates, daily backups and small content changes when your prices or services shift. If you would rather host it yourself and handle your own updates, that is completely fine — you own the site either way.
SEO
from $690/mo
no lock-in contract
A built site gets the fundamentals right. Ranking against established competitors in a busy city is ongoing work — profile management, new service and suburb pages, and the slow accumulation of credibility. See what that actually involves.
Common Questions
For a small business or trade business, a real custom site generally lands between $800 and $3,000. Below about $500 you are usually buying a template with your logo dropped in. Above $5,000 you are usually paying for an account manager and an office. Our packages run from $799 to $2,990, and the price is fixed before work starts.
Yes. You own the domain, the files and the content, and you can take the whole thing elsewhere whenever you like. A lot of cheap monthly website deals keep ownership with the agency, which means the day you stop paying the site disappears. We do not work that way.
No. The build is a one-off fixed price. Hosting and maintenance are optional and separate, and you can host it yourself if you would rather. There is no lock-in contract on anything.
The domain name, which is roughly $20 a year, and professional photography if you want it. Everything else needed to launch is in the package price. If something falls outside the quote we tell you before we do it, not after.
Yes. Plenty of trades start on Starter to get something live, then add pages as the work comes in. You pay the difference between the tiers, not the full price again.
Starter is usually about a week. Business is two to three weeks. Complete is three to four weeks. The main delay is almost always waiting on photos and content from your end, so the sooner that arrives the sooner you are live.
Fifty per cent to start and the balance when the site goes live, on every package. For the Complete package we can split it across three payments if that suits your cash flow better.
Affordable Web Design
Searching for affordable web design in Melbourne or anywhere else in Australia turns up two extremes. At one end, $200 template sites with no thought given to how anyone finds them. At the other, agencies who will not quote at all until you have sat through a discovery call. Neither is much help when you just want to know what it costs.
Our small business website packages sit in between on purpose. Enough budget to write real copy, build real service pages and set the search fundamentals up properly — without the overhead of an agency charging for an account manager you will speak to twice.
If your budget genuinely will not stretch to the Starter package, say so when you call. We would rather tell you honestly that now is not the right time than sell you something that will not work.
Ongoing Work
The monthly options above have their own pages if you want the detail. SEO packages covers what each tier actually delivers and why we do not run lock-in contracts.
Website care plans covers hosting, updates, backups and the silently broken contact form that costs more small businesses work than anything else on this list.
Tell us your trade and what you want the site to do, and we will tell you which package fits — including when the cheapest one is genuinely enough.
