Pricing
Pricing & what’s included
How much does a website cost in Geelong?
Geelong agencies typically charge $5,000 or more for a small-business website. Our fixed prices are $1,500 for a single-page site, $2,500 for a standard 3–5 page site, and $3,500 for larger sites up to 10 pages — see the full pricing breakdown. All prices exclude GST, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No. Care plans are month-to-month. Build prices are one-off. All prices exclude GST.
What’s included in the build price?
Every build includes custom design, mobile-responsive development, SEO and AI-search fundamentals, contact and email integration, Google Analytics, SSL, and deployment. There are no hidden extras.
What does the $99/month Care Plan cover?
Hosting, security, uptime monitoring, and content changes. When you need something updated — text, images, testimonials, pricing — you email us and it’s live within 24–48 hours. There’s no CMS to learn and no lock-in contract. Both plans are on the pricing page.

How the build works
How long does it take to build the website?
Most sites are live within 7–10 days of approving the quote — not the 6–12 weeks a traditional agency build takes. Single-page sites are usually the fastest; larger sites take a little longer. You get a firm timeline with your quote — here’s how the week runs.
What if I don’t like the design?
You see a design preview before the full build, and we revise it until it feels right. If we genuinely can’t land it, you can walk away and your deposit comes back — we’d rather part as friends than hold you to a design you don’t love.
I don’t have photos or text ready — is that a problem?
Not at all. Tell us your business details and what you offer, and share any text, images, or logo you already have. Missing pieces don’t block the build — we can work with what you’ve got and refine after launch.
Why don’t you build on WordPress?
We build static websites: pages served as plain, pre-built files. They load faster, can’t be hacked through plugins, and need no software updates. For a small-business site that changes occasionally, it’s the faster, safer, cheaper option. If your site genuinely needs a CMS, we’ll tell you straight.
After launch
After launch & ownership
Do I own my website?
Yes. You own your domain, your content, and your site. If you ever leave, we hand everything over — no hostage-taking.
I’m not tech-savvy — how do I make changes to my site?
Email us the change. Content changes are included in the Care Plan and are usually live within 24–48 hours. You never need to log into anything.
What if I need something bigger or custom?
Sites beyond 10 pages are quoted individually — as a guide, about $300 per additional page. If you need complex functionality like e-commerce, memberships, or a custom web application, our parent studio Phil Kurth handles custom builds.
Do you only work with Geelong businesses?
We’re based in Geelong and most of our clients are nearby — Belmont, Newtown, Torquay, Lara, across the Bellarine. But everything is delivered online, so we work with small businesses across Australia.
Will my website show up on Google and in AI tools like ChatGPT?
Every build ships with SEO fundamentals (proper titles, structure, sitemap, schema markup) and AI-search readiness baked in. If you want ongoing, active visibility work, that’s the Care + Visibility plan at $499/month.
