For new businesses
No website yet? Let's put your name online.
You're trading. The ABN's registered, the phone rings, and maybe a Facebook page has been doing the heavy lifting. But when someone hears about you and goes looking, there's nothing to find — and to plenty of customers that reads as “not really in business yet”. We build first websites for new Australian businesses. One flat rate, and everything in your name from day one.
Or call us on 0468 689 791 and tell us what you do.
The packages
Two ways to start
Three pages tell most new stories: who you are, what you do, how to reach you. That's the Start Up. Need service pages, a gallery or more room to explain? The Full Build goes to seven.
Full Build
from $3,490flat rate
Most land between $3,490 and $4,500.
A complete build: new structure, new design, sharp copy — whether we're rebuilding your site or putting your first one online.
- Brand-new design and structure, up to 7 pages
- Copy polished — or written fresh for a first website
- Enquiry and contact forms that work
- Basic SEO setup and analytics
- Mobile-first, fast loading
What moves the price
The price covers 7 pages, then it's $150 a page. An online store or a booking system is its own quote, not an add-on.
Start Up
from $1,490flat rate
Most land between $1,490 and $1,900.
Your first website, built from scratch. For new businesses ready to put their name online — you bring the domain, we do the rest.
- Brand-new site, up to 3 pages
- Copy written for you from a simple questionnaire
- Your domain connected, with email forwarding
- Google Business Profile set up
- Basic SEO setup and analytics
- No monthly hosting bills
What moves the price
The price covers 3 pages, then it's $150 a page. A full email inbox (like Google Workspace) is a small setup extra, quoted first.
Before we start
What you'll need
Not much, honestly. This is the whole list.
A domain name
yourbusiness.com.au, bought from a registrar in your own name. Don't have one yet? We'll help you choose and register it on the call — it stays yours either way.
A logo, if you have one
No logo is fine. Your business name set in clean type looks sharper than something knocked up in an afternoon, and a proper logo can slot in later.
Photos of your work
A dozen decent phone shots of real jobs beat a stock library every time. Nothing yet? We'll choose stock together and swap it out as your photos arrive.
Twenty minutes
That's the questionnaire. Plain questions about what you do, who calls you and what you want the site to say. We write the pages from your answers, and you get final say on every word.
Who owns what
Yours from day one
The domain sits at the registrar in your name. The site itself is built in plain code and hosted on a free Cloudflare account, also in your name. There's no platform subscription and no hosting bill. The site just sits there, working.
At handover you get the lot: logins, files, and a walkthrough of what's what. If you ever leave us, everything comes with you.
Most new businesses keep us on the Care Plan at $99/mo — you email the change and it's done within the month, with a proper check of the whole site every quarter. Prefer to pay as you go? Changes are quoted at $110/hr when you need them, agreed before we start.
Questions
Your first website — common questions
- What does a first website cost?
- The Start Up is from $1,490 flat for up to 3 pages, and most jobs land within a few hundred dollars of that. Bigger sites are the Full Build at from $3,490 for up to 7. Either way you get one written number before anything starts, not an hourly meter.
- How long until it's live?
- About two weeks for a Start Up, counted from the day we have your questionnaire and photos. The build is rarely the slow part — gathering the materials is, so we keep that list short.
- Do I have to write the words?
- No. You answer plain questions, we write the pages, and you approve every word before it goes live. If you've already written something, even rough notes, we'll work from those.
- Can I update the site myself?
- Everyday changes go through us — that's what the Care Plan's monthly hour is for, and one email usually covers it. If your content changes daily, like a menu or a stock list, say so on the call: we'll point you to a platform you can edit yourself instead, before you've spent anything.
- What about a business email address?
- Forwarding on your domain is included, so enquiries to hello@yourbusiness.com.au land in the inbox you already check. A full separate inbox like Google Workspace is its own subscription; we set it up for a small extra, quoted first.
- Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
- No. We're based in Thomastown and meet most people on Zoom or Teams anyway, so anywhere in Australia works. If you're in Melbourne's north, we're happy to do it in person.
