GETTING STARTED
Getting your wording and images ready to start on site
STEP 1
Go template design or custom design
Template Design Only ( less than $1000 )
Simply browse through the live websites below that we have built using our template designs. These are proven, professional layouts and are a great starting point for getting your business online.
After you select your preferred design, you can send us your content and we will add it into that layout for you.
We will add your content, logo, and branding colours to the template.
This is the easiest, fastest, and most affordable way to get a professional website. You also get the confidence of knowing what the site layout will look like before the project starts.
Template Design With Custom Elements ( $1000 - $2000 )
Sometimes a template design is very close to what you need, but you may want to customise a few sections, adjust the layout, or add extra sections to better suit your content and business requirements.
This option is perfect if you want something more tailored without the cost of a fully custom website.
You start with one of our proven template designs, and we then customise it to suit your needs by adding or modifying sections, layouts, and design elements.
Rather than paying for a full custom build, you simply pay a little extra for the additional design and development time required. As a guide, most projects in this category are typically $200 – $1,000 more than our standard template setup prices shown on the home page, depending on the level of customisation required.
This gives you a more personalised website while keeping costs under control.
We’re Flexible
Some clients choose to start with a standard template design to see how their website looks with their own content first. Once they see it in place, they then decide to invest a little extra to have us add custom sections or refine the design to better match what they’re after.
This flexible approach lets you start with a lower cost option and upgrade only if and when you feel it’s needed.
Design Options
We have many live site designs in table below you can select.

CUSTOM DESIGN ( $3500 +)
If you have a specific design in mind, or you’ve seen a website you like and want something similar, simply show us and we can design a fully custom website tailored to your business.
Custom websites take longer to build than template-based sites, as everything is designed and developed specifically for you. For this reason, custom website projects start from $3,500, with the final price depending on your requirements and the complexity of the design and features.
This option allows us to spend the time needed to create exactly the layout, features, and functionality your business needs. Your website will be designed from scratch and built exclusively for you.
For comparison, many other agencies charge $5,000 to $20,000+ for custom websites.

When we build your website we use wordpress and Yoast Plugin which is good for SEO. What we recommend is once your website goes live, give it 2-3 months for Google and other search engines to start indexing it, and then see if you are happy with where it is ranking on Google.
If you want to try get higher up in Google for certain keywords and have a resonable marketing budget, then speak to our marketing guy Thomas regards our prices and options.
SEO is a long term strategy and depends on many factors. For small businesses the costs of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising can vary based on factors like competition, industry, and the scope of services required.
Average SEO Costs in Australia.
The first thing is to be realistic. If you are in a competitive industry with lots of large companies with big marketing budgets, who have had a website for years then chance of getting to top with SEO is very small.
Just to get a feel for costs, if you do a quick google search for SEO services, this will show you the type of costs involued.
A chatgpt search brought back these average SEO costs for Australia. SEO is not a cheap service, as many companies are trying to get to the first page of google, and only a few make it.
SEO Costs:
Monthly Retainers: On average, small businesses can expect to spend between S1,200 and S2,500 per month on SEO services and typically run on a 3 to 12-month basis.
One-Time Projects: For specific SEO projects, costs can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the project's complexity.
PPC Advertising Costs:
Ad Spend: The average cost per click (CPC) in Australia is approximately AUD $3.20 but often much more depending on competition.
Management Fees: PPC management services typically charge a monthly fee ranging from $800 to $2,000, influenced by factors like the complexity of the campaign and the experience of the service provider.
It's essential to recognize that these figures are averages, and actual costs can differ based on your business's specific needs and goals. For instance, a small business in a highly competitive industry may face higher costs compared to one in a less competitive field. Additionally, while some businesses may find success with basic SEO packages, others might require more comprehensive strategies to achieve desired results.

STEP 3
GETTING STARTED
Its easy to get started. You can fill out our simple to use online form which asks for details we need, or send us details in email/word doc.
Getting Started
After you decide what pages you want on your website, we just need the content you want on each page. ie Services,About us, Contact etc
We provide an online form that makes it easy to provide information we need. Go to page here
or you can send wording in an email or word doc.
If you need help with your content wording or images, please see popular features above. The setup cost includes 5 free stock images we can add to site for you if you don't have your own images.
When we build your website the client supplies the wording and the images they want on their website pages. We offer 5 free stock images per site if needed.
If possible real images are generally better, but if you cannot supply we can offer stock image options that can be found in the popular feature tabs above.
We recommend using as many real images on your website as possible for the reasons below. ( we understand sometimes stock images are needed ) If you cannot supply real images at time website is being built, you can always come back and add real images at a later date if wanted.
- Authenticity and Trust: Real images of people, especially if they reflect the brand’s actual employees, customers, or community, create a sense of authenticity. Visitors are more likely to trust a website that showcases real faces and genuine experiences, as opposed to stock photos that may feel impersonal or staged.
- Brand Identity: Using real images helps convey a unique and personalized brand identity. Stock photos often look generic and can be found across many websites, making it harder for a brand to stand out. Real images tied to the brand’s actual story or mission enhance its distinctiveness and connection to its audience.
- Relatability: Real images allow the website to more accurately represent the diversity and demographics of the audience it serves. Stock photos often feature idealized or overly polished versions of people, which might not resonate with a brand’s target market. Real people help create an emotional connection and foster a sense of relatability.
- Consistency and Accuracy: Stock images might not reflect the specific values, tone, or vibe a client wants to portray. Real photos can be more controlled and consistent with the brand’s messaging, showing actual products, events, or people that align with the company's vision.
- Legal and Ethical Considerations: Using stock photos requires checking licenses and usage rights, and sometimes the terms can be restrictive. Real images, provided by the client, are owned by the company, reducing the risk of copyright issues and ensuring complete control over the visual content used.
- Better Conversion Rates: Studies show that websites with real images of people often lead to higher engagement and better conversion rates. This is because visitors are more likely to trust a site that feels human, authentic, and relatable, which can lead to more sign-ups, purchases, or inquiries.
Using real images on a website builds trust, strengthens the brand’s identity, fosters connections with the audience, and reduces potential legal risks—ultimately making the website more effective and memorable.
