Web Design & Website Redesign
We design and build small business websites on a fixed scope and a fixed price, starting from $2,500 including GST. Most projects run four to eight weeks from brief to launch, and you own the site and its content outright when it is finished.
Fixed scope, fixed price. Larger builds with e-commerce or custom functionality are quoted individually.
All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.What web design actually involves
A website build covers the design, the build, the content structure and the launch. We work to a fixed scope agreed up front, so the price does not move unless you ask for something outside it. Sites are built to be fast, to work properly on phones, and to be editable by you afterwards without needing us.
What's included
- Discovery and scope
- We agree what the site needs to do, who it is for, and what pages exist — before any design work starts. This is what makes a fixed price possible.
- Design
- Layouts designed for your business, not a stock template with your logo dropped in. You see and approve designs before we build.
- Build
- Hand-built, fast-loading pages. Mobile-first, because most local search traffic is on a phone.
- Content structure
- We structure your existing content for the web. Copywriting from scratch is quoted separately.
- Search foundations
- Titles, descriptions, headings, structured data and a sitemap set up correctly at launch. This is groundwork, not an SEO campaign.
- Launch and handover
- We deploy it, check it, and show you how to edit it. You get the accounts and the code.
How it works
-
Brief
A conversation about what the business does and what the site has to achieve. No charge.
-
Scope and quote
A written scope with a fixed price. If you do not proceed, you keep the scope document.
-
Design
Key page designs for your approval. Revisions are included at this stage — changing a design is cheap, changing a built site is not.
-
Build
We build the approved design and load your content.
-
Review
You review the site on a private link and we work through your list.
-
Launch
We deploy, verify, and hand over access.
Already have a site? Redesign or fix
Most of the businesses that contact us already have a website. The real question is whether it needs rebuilding or fixing, and sometimes the honest answer is fixing. A redesign is the right call when the site cannot be edited, does not work properly on a phone, or sits on a platform you cannot take with you. The written scope says which, before you spend anything.
Signs it is time to rebuild
- It is awkward to use on a phone, or slow on mobile data.
- You cannot change your own prices, hours or photos without paying someone.
- Customers ring to ask things the site should already answer.
- It no longer describes what the business actually sells.
- The domain, hosting or login is not held in your own name.
What a redesign must not lose is the search visibility the old site already has. Before anything is replaced we list every existing page address and permanently redirect each one to its new home, so the rankings and links you have built carry over instead of starting again from zero.

A good fit when
- You are a small business that needs a site generating enquiries, not just an online brochure.
- You want a fixed price agreed before work starts.
- You want to own and edit the result yourself.
Probably not when
- You need a complex web application rather than a business website.
- You want the cheapest possible option — a template site will always be cheaper.
- The scope genuinely cannot be defined yet. In that case start with a paid discovery.
Common questions
01 How much does a website cost in Australia?
Our builds start at $2,500 including GST for a straightforward business site with a defined scope. E-commerce and custom functionality cost more and are quoted individually. Across the Australian market you will see anything from a few hundred dollars for a DIY template to six figures for enterprise work — the range is wide because "website" describes very different things.
02 How long does a website take to build?
Most of our projects run four to eight weeks from approved scope to launch. The single biggest cause of delay is content — if your text and photos are ready, the build moves quickly.
03 Do I own the website?
Yes. You own the design, the code and the content, and you hold the domain and hosting accounts in your own name. We do not hold your site hostage as a retention strategy.
04 Can I edit the website myself?
Yes. We hand over access and show you how. If you would rather not, ongoing changes can be handled as needed.
05 Do you build e-commerce sites?
Yes. Online stores involve payments, shipping rules, inventory and tax handling, so they are scoped and priced individually rather than from a starting price.
06 What is the average cost of designing a website for a small business in Australia?
Between $2,500 and $15,000 for a custom small business website, with template customisation averaging $1,000 to $3,000 and e-commerce $5,000 to $30,000. The spread is wide because the same brief quoted by a sole trader and by a metropolitan agency can differ threefold for identical work. Our fixed-scope builds start at $2,500 including GST and the figure is published rather than quoted on request.
07 How much does a website redesign cost?
A redesign is scoped and priced the same way as a new build, from $2,500 including GST for a fixed-scope business site. Content you already have, and pages that already work, can be carried over, which narrows the scope. You get a written scope and a fixed price before anything starts.
08 Will a redesign hurt our Google rankings?
It can, and it is the most common way a redesign goes wrong: pages move to new addresses, the old ones start returning errors, and the search visibility the business built up resets. We list every existing URL before anything is replaced and permanently redirect each one to its new home, so what you have earned carries over.
