A website that does
more than sit there.

Website design for businesses across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast, hand-coded rather than dragged out of a template, quick to load on a phone, and wired into the booking system or enquiry form so the work actually reaches you.

New builds, online stores, web apps, speed rescues and migrations off a builder platform. Every build and care price is published on this page, GST included, and the first month of care is free on Essentials, Growth and Pro.

Three kinds of build.

Whichever one you need, the brief underneath is the same. It has to load fast, you have to be able to update it without ringing us, and the whole thing is built around the one action you want a visitor to take.

  • 01From scratch

    Design & build

    Hand-designed, on your own domain, and written around your real services and your real suburb. Nothing lands with placeholder copy for you to fix later.

    • Booking calendar, quote form or click-to-call, matched to how you take work
    • Hosting, SSL certificate and clean on-page SEO, set up properly
    • Your content loaded for you, revised until you're happy
  • 02Sell online

    Online stores

    For selling alongside the service you already run. A tattoo studio's merch, a cafe's beans and gift cards, a salon's retail range, or takeaway orders.

    • Product pages, categories and search that work properly on a phone
    • Secure checkout and card payments
    • Stock and order alerts to the right inbox, not lost in a dashboard
  • 03Built to spec

    Web apps & portals

    For the jobs a standard website cannot do. A customer login, a quote calculator, a staff roster, a portal that tracks jobs through to invoicing.

    • Custom login areas and client or member portals
    • Online booking and calculators built around your process
    • Scoped and quoted individually, because no two are the same job

What a website costs.

Three builds, one setup fee each, then a monthly care plan that hosts the site, keeps it secure and makes your updates. The first month of care is free on every Essentials, Growth and Pro plan. Every figure is in Australian dollars and includes GST, so the listed price is the total. What moves the number either way is set out in our Brisbane website cost guide.

Not everything needs a full build. A whole-site fix, our full search and AI visibility pass plus an image and visual review, is $1,049 on a site up to about ten pages, quoted before anything starts. A small-site rebuild, your existing site rebuilt and handed over with that same search and AI pass, is $1,299 on a site up to about eight pages. And on every build above, the Build-First Guarantee applies: you see a free working mockup of your website before you pay anything, and you go ahead only when you love it. Every rung of that ladder, from a one-off fix through to an AI agent on the follow-up, sits on one page in the Brisbane website cost guide, along with the five things that move the number either way.

The care rate drops the longer you commit.

The rate steps down as the term gets longer, and month to month is available on every plan if you would rather stay flexible.

Monthly care plan rates by plan and term
Care plan24 months 12 months6 months Month to month
Essentials$69$79$89$99
Growth$99$109$119$129
Pro$129$149$169$189

All figures per month, in AUD, GST included. First month free on every Essentials, Growth and Pro plan and every term.

For more hands-on time each month, Care Plus is $599 a month with three hours of work included, month to month, cancel any time. Unused hours do not roll over.

Which build suits which business.

The plans differ in how much of the search and lead work is built in, not in how carefully the site is made. Pick by how work reaches you today.

  • Essentials suits

    A business where most work arrives by referral or phone, and the site's job is to look credible and make contact easy. Up to five pages, a contact form that emails you instantly and a click-to-call button that stays on screen.

  • Growth suits

    A business that gets found locally and wants the site and its Google Maps listing working together. Room for every service, Google Business Profile and Analytics set up, and a review link so happy customers can say so.

  • Pro suits

    A business where the website is the main way work comes in. A custom landing page, lead capture across the key pages, speed tuning, a monthly written report and a quarterly review call.

Online stores, customer logins and job-pricing calculators are scoped as an online store or a web app once we have seen the job. And if what you need is more people finding the site you already have, the SEO, AEO and GEO page is the better place to start.

Moving off Wix or Squarespace.

Escape the builder is our migration service. People come to us when they have hit the platform's ceiling, or when the monthly fee stopped making sense for five pages.

  • Nothing gets lost

    Your existing pages become the brief, so your words and photos don't vanish in the rebuild.

  • Your inbox keeps working

    Your domain's mail settings carry over untouched, so email keeps arriving the day the new site goes live.

  • Every old address redirected

    Every old page gets a redirect to its new address. That's how search engines carry rankings across instead of starting from zero.

A migration is priced like the equivalent new build, because underneath that is what it is, so it lands on the same Essentials, Growth or Pro tiers. Your words and photos already exist, which usually makes it quicker than starting from nothing. That is a different product from the $1,299 small-site rebuild above, which is handed over for you to own, hosted on our care plan or with any host you choose. A migration stays with us: the setup fee covers the build, then the care plan hosts it, keeps it secure and makes your updates.

The extras people ask for.

Each one is priced separately from the build, and none of it starts without a number agreed first.

  • Advanced Local SEO Campaign

    $849 /mo

    Ongoing local search work. Google Business Profile content, review replies, a new suburb or service page each month, and citation building.

  • SEO, AEO & GEO setup

    $899 one-off, on a site you already have, up to 10 pages

    $1,299 for a site of 11 to 40 pages. It makes you readable by Google and by the AI assistants people now ask. Run the free audit first.

A build does not include professional photography, full copywriting for every page, ad spend or an SEO campaign. All of it is available and quoted separately, and stores, web apps and migrations are scoped once we have seen the job, and an online store is priced in the estimate builder and the cost guide. How agents are priced is on the AI agents page.

What you own, and what's covered.

  • Your domain is yours

    Your domain name, your content, your images and your Google Business Profile belong to you and stay with you.

  • The care plan keeps it live

    It covers hosting, the domain up to $100 a year, SSL, security, uptime monitoring and your content updates. It is what keeps the site online, so it is not optional while the site is running.

  • First month free

    On every Essentials, Growth and Pro plan and every term. You pay the setup fee to start, then the first month of care costs nothing.

  • Where the binding version lives

    Our Terms and Refunds and cancellations. If anything on this page and those documents disagree, those documents win.

How a website project actually starts.

Tell us what's not working

A call or the enquiry form. Tell us what you have now and what you need it to do.

We recommend a plan

Essentials, Growth or Pro, or a scoped quote if it is a store, a portal, a speed fix or a migration.

Send your content

Words and photos. If you haven't got them, we write and source what's missing.

We build it, you approve it

Built in days once we have your content, then revised until it's right.

From first call to the first month of care.

The same six steps on every build. Where a timing is a commitment we say so, and where it is an aim we say that too.

First conversation

What the business does, who it serves and how work comes in now. You get a straight recommendation, including when the smaller plan is enough.

A working mockup, free

Under the Build-First Guarantee you see a working mockup of your website within 48 hours of that conversation, before you pay anything.

You decide

Go ahead only if you love it. If you do, the setup fee starts the full build.

Content and revisions

Your words and photos, or we write and source what is missing. Revision rounds follow the plan: one on Essentials, two on Growth, three on Pro.

Launch

We aim to launch within 72 hours of your approval and content. The sitemap goes to Google, and on Growth and Pro your Business Profile and Analytics are connected.

The first month of care, free

Hosting, SSL, monitoring and your monthly content updates start at launch, and the first month of care costs nothing on Essentials, Growth and Pro.

Website questions, answered.

Six of them, answered here. More are on the FAQ page.

  • Do you use templates or a page builder?

    No. Essentials, Growth and Pro sites are hand-coded rather than assembled in a builder, which keeps pages quick on a phone and puts the words in the HTML, where search engines and AI crawlers can read them.

  • What is the difference between Essentials, Growth and Pro?

    Page count, and how much of the search and lead work is built in. Essentials is up to 5 pages. Growth is up to 8 pages and adds Google Business Profile setup, Google Analytics, blog publishing and a review link. Pro is 10 or more pages and adds a custom landing page, speed and on-page SEO tuning, lead capture forms, a monthly written report and a quarterly review call.

  • Why is the care plan not optional?

    Because it is what keeps the site online. It covers hosting, the domain up to $100 a year, SSL, security, uptime monitoring and your content updates. The rate drops the longer the term, and month to month is available on every plan.

  • How quickly will I see something?

    You see a free working mockup within 48 hours of our first conversation, and that part is a commitment. Going live comes after you approve it and your content reaches us. We aim to launch within 72 hours from there, as an estimate rather than a promise.

  • Can you move my site off Wix or Squarespace?

    Yes. A migration is priced like the equivalent Essentials, Growth or Pro build. Your existing pages become the brief, your email settings carry over, and every old page is redirected to its new address so links and search results pointing at the old pages still land in the right place.

  • What is not included in a build?

    Professional photography, full copywriting for every page, ad spend and an ongoing SEO campaign. Each is available and quoted separately, and nothing starts without a number agreed first.

We'll tell you which plan fits.

Send us the site you have now, or tell us you are starting from nothing. Either way you get a straight recommendation and a price, including when the smaller plan is the one that does the job.
