The honest range for a small business website in Australia is $500 for a template through to $10,000 for an agency build. Here is what each option actually gets you.
| Option | Price | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace) | $0–$50/mo forever | You build it. Slow, template-bound, weak SEO. |
| Freelancer | $1,000–$3,000 | 2–6 weeks. Quality varies wildly. |
| WordPress agency | $3,000–$10,000 | 4–12 weeks, plus plugin licences and maintenance. |
| Marketing Panda | $799 one-off | About 1 day. Custom-coded, SEO-ready, no subscription. |
Ours is $799 AUD one-off for a 5-page site, ex GST, with additional pages at $799 per 5-page block. Every website needs hosting and a domain to stay online — that is the only ongoing cost, and you choose who pays it: bring your own hosting, or we run it for you from $40/month. A logo is $199 if you need one. No builder fees, no plugin licences, no page-builder subscription. The site is yours.
See what is included →How long does a website take to build?
Most Australian agencies quote four to twelve weeks. Our average is about one business day from receiving your brief, because the build is AI-assisted and human-reviewed rather than hand-coded line by line. You fill in a short brief, we build, you review, we launch.
Why the wait actually costs you money
Every week without a website is a week of customers searching for your service, finding a competitor and calling them instead. Speed to launch is revenue, not vanity.

Cheap website design without the cheap website
"Affordable" usually means a template everybody else has, loading in four seconds, invisible to Google. That is the version worth avoiding. A low price is only good value if the site is fast, findable and yours.
We keep the price low deliberately: it is a no-margin, loss-leader service designed to earn your trust first, in the hope you come back for SEO, ads or your next project. The saving comes from how fast we can produce the work, not from cutting quality out of it.

Questions people ask before buying
How much does a website cost in Australia?
Australian web design typically runs $2,000 to $10,000 for a small business site, and $500 to $1,500 for a template build. Ours is $799 AUD for a custom-coded, SEO-ready 5-page website, with extra pages at $799 per 5-page block.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most agencies quote 4 to 12 weeks. Our average turnaround is about one business day from receiving your brief, because the build is AI-assisted and human-reviewed rather than hand-coded from scratch.
What is the cheapest way to get a professional website?
DIY builders look cheapest up front but cost you in monthly fees, slow pages and weak SEO. At $799 one-off with no subscription and no plugin licences, a custom-coded site is usually cheaper within the first year and performs considerably better.
Do you build websites for small businesses near me?
Yes. We are an Australian studio working with businesses Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra and regional areas. The process is remote, so location does not change the price or the timeframe.
Do I pay before or after I see the website?
You pay first, we build, and you review the finished site before it goes live. If the first preview is not right for you, you get a full refund at that point.
Is a cheap website bad for SEO?
A cheap template site usually is, because page speed and clean structure are ranking factors and templates carry heavy unused code. Our builds ship with technical SEO in place: fast Core Web Vitals, structured data, sitemaps, metadata and clean semantic HTML.
