Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost?
Our websites start at $1,490 +GST for a single-page landing site and $2,950 +GST for a template-based startup site of up to four pages. Most business websites fall between $4,500 and $7,950 +GST depending on page count and how much custom design is involved, and e-commerce stores start at $9,990 +GST. Every quote is fixed before work begins, so there are no surprises.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are delivered in three to four weeks from the point we have your content. Larger corporate sites and e-commerce builds take longer. The single biggest factor in hitting that timeline is how quickly you can get us copy, images and feedback.
What's included in a website build?
Every build includes design, development, mobile-responsive layouts, basic on-page SEO setup and full testing before launch. We can also handle hosting, domains and cloud setup. Content writing and photography are available on request.
Do you build e-commerce and online stores?
Yes. We build online stores on WooCommerce and Shopify, starting at $9,990 +GST for a store with up to 10 pages, 20 products and five categories, including payment integration and shipping setup. We also build custom applications and set up marketing and sales automation using GoHighLevel.
Do you work with businesses outside the Gold Coast?
Yes. We are based on the Gold Coast and work with clients across Australia. Most of the process runs remotely, so your location makes no practical difference to the result.
What happens after the site launches?
We offer ongoing care plans from $99 +GST a month covering hosting, updates, security and support, so your site keeps working after launch. WordPress sites left without updates are the ones that get compromised.
