How much does a small business website cost?

The cost of a website comes in two parts: the one-off price to design and build it, and the smaller ongoing costs to keep it online. Prices vary between designers, so the best way to compare is to check exactly what each quote includes.

1. The upfront build

This mostly depends on how many pages you need and how much writing and design work is involved. As an example, our fixed prices are:

• Starter Website — $1,200 AUD, two pages
• Trade Website — $1,799 AUD, up to 5 pages
• Premium Website — $2,399 AUD, up to 7 pages

We’re not GST-registered, so no GST is added. Online stores, booking systems and custom integrations are quoted separately.

2. Ongoing costs you pay separately

Your domain name, hosting and business email are paid to those providers, usually yearly or monthly. We can set up your domain ($49) or Microsoft 365 email ($79) if you want help — both optional.

3. Optional maintenance

Some businesses like someone to handle small updates. Our optional care plan is $99 a month with up to one hour of minor updates. You don’t need it to own or run your website.

Questions to ask any web designer

• Who owns the domain and the website once it’s paid for?
• What ongoing costs will I have, and who do I pay?
• How many changes are included before launch?
• Is writing the page text included?
