Website pricing varies dramatically depending on who builds it. Below is a quick summary — read on for detailed comparisons, real cost examples and guidance to choose the best package for your trade or service business.
High upfront fees (AUD $3k–$20k+), slower turnaround, bespoke design and longer maintenance cycles.
Subscriptions from $10–$80/mo plus paid apps and time investment to configure and maintain.
Flat $49/month: domain, hosting, SSL, unlimited updates via text, local SEO and analytics — live fast, manage by phone.
Real-world numbers help you see the total cost of ownership across 1 year and 3 years — including setup, hosting, updates and maintenance.
Everything a small trade or service business needs to attract local customers — no surprises.
Certain advanced integrations — like enterprise booking systems, complex eCommerce setups or bespoke backend integrations — may require additional fees or one-off development. We’ll quote any custom work upfront so you always know the full cost before proceeding.
Answer these quick questions to match your needs to the correct package type.

Answers to common pricing and package questions to help you decide with confidence.
The flat $49/month covers the full managed website service: domain registration/transfer, secure hosting, SSL, built-in local SEO, monthly analytics, and unlimited content updates via simple text or WhatsApp messages. There are no hidden fees for routine edits or performance monitoring.
No setup fee for the demo and no lock-in. We aim to make it easy to start and stop — cancel anytime without penalties. Specific domain transfer fees or premium add-ons may apply and will be disclosed upfront.
No. Unlimited routine updates are included. Text us to change copy, images, prices, or promotions and we’ll apply the edits—typically within minutes—at no extra cost.
Basic contact forms and simple booking widgets are available. Complex eCommerce or custom booking systems may require an additional one-off integration fee. We’ll always provide a clear quote before starting custom work.
We keep pricing simple and predictable. Most customers pay only the flat monthly fee. Premium third-party services (paid booking platforms, premium plugins, or specific paid APIs) are billed separately and you’ll be asked to approve them before they’re added.
