Questions, answered.
The things business owners ask us most, in plain English. If yours isn't here, just ask — we're happy to talk it through.
How much does a website cost?
$750 for the build, plus $50 per month if you'd like us to handle hosting, updates and ongoing support for you. Larger projects with custom features are quoted individually — tell us what you need and we'll give you a clear, fixed price up front.
How long does it take to build my website?
Most projects are designed, built and live within one to three weeks. The main variable is content — once we have your details, photos and any copy you want included, we move quickly. Bigger sites with booking or e-commerce take a little longer, and we'll tell you honestly before we start.
What types of businesses do you work with?
We specialise in small and local businesses — trades and contractors, salons and barbers, restaurants and cafés, professional services, clinics, retailers and independents of all kinds. If you're a local business that wants to look professional and win more customers online, we're built for you.
Do I need to write the content myself?
No — copywriting support is included. We'll interview you about your business and write the page copy for you, then you review it and change anything you'd like. If you already have text you're happy with, we'll use it as-is.
Will my website work well on mobile?
Yes. Every site we build is designed mobile-first, meaning we design the phone version before anything else. Most local searches happen on a phone, often by someone deciding who to call, so we make sure buttons, forms and phone numbers are easy to tap on a small screen.
What happens after my website goes live?
You're not left on your own. Our optional $50/month maintenance plan covers hosting, SSL security, backups, software updates and small content changes — plus support when you need it. You can also email us any time without a plan, and we'll quote for anything beyond a quick fix.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely — redesigns are a big part of what we do. We'll look at what's working on your current site, keep the parts that earn you customers, and rebuild the rest around a modern, conversion-focused layout. You keep your domain and any existing enquiries.
How do I get started?
Get in touch through the contact form, or give us a call. Tell us a bit about your business and what you're looking for, and we'll come back with a plan and a fixed price. There's no obligation and no pressure — the first conversation is free.
