Small business websites start from $3k with us. What changes the price, what a site costs to run after launch, and how to compare website quotes in Perth.
Small business websites start from $3k with us. Where a site lands above that depends on how many pages it needs, which platform it is built on and how much design and content work is involved. This guide walks through what moves the price, what a website costs to run once it is live, and how to compare two quotes that look nothing alike.
Want a number for your site?
We design and build websites for Perth businesses, and we scope every one in writing before anything starts.
A small business website starts from $3k. A larger service site, a site with lots of project pages, or an online store costs more, because there is more to plan, design, build and test. We scope every site in writing before anything starts, so you know the number before you commit and you can see exactly what it covers.
Five things move a website quote more than anything else.
A five page site for a trade business and a Shopify store with a few hundred products are different jobs, which is why any honest quote starts with questions about what the site has to do.
The build is one cost. Running the site is another, and it is the part most quotes leave out. Ask for the yearly figure as well as the build price.
Yes, both the build and the running costs. We build service business sites in Webflow because they are quick to load, there are no plugins to maintain, and you can edit them yourself. If you already run WordPress, or want it, we build new WordPress sites too. Online stores go on Shopify. Our guide to Webflow, WordPress or Shopify walks through which one fits, and we tell you which one we would use before we quote.
A Shopify store is quoted to scope, the same as any other site. What moves the price is how many products and collections it has, how much of the theme needs custom design, and whether you are moving from another platform with orders, customers and rankings to bring across. On top of the build you pay Shopify's monthly plan and any apps you choose, billed by Shopify. More on how we work on our Shopify developer and ecommerce web design pages.
Usually 1 to 4 weeks for the sites we build. What changes it is how many pages the site needs, whether it is a store, and how ready the content and images are. Content is the most common hold-up on any website, so getting your photos and service details together early saves time and money.
When two quotes are far apart, line them up and check what is missing from the cheaper one.
Carter Roofing is a Wangara roofing and cladding contractor. We built them a 25 page Webflow site around their projects, their products and the quote request, with ten project pages and two quote forms: one for a roof and one for metal fabrication. Their old site was built in the Flash era, and the new one launched with the old site's addresses redirected to the new pages. The full story is in the Carter Roofing case study, and the way we build for trades is on our tradie websites page.
The build should get the SEO basics right, but ranking for the searches that bring in work is ongoing. If you want us running your search work after launch, our SEO in Perth starts from $1,000 including GST per four week cycle. You do not need it to get a website built.
The same factors decide it anywhere in Australia: pages, platform, content and features. With us, small business websites start from $3k, and every site is scoped and quoted in writing before we start.
Because they rarely cover the same work. One quote might include content, redirects and SEO setup and another might not. Compare the scope line by line, not just the total.
You should be able to. The sites we build come with an editor you can use to change text, swap images and add pages or posts without paying for every change.
You do. Your domain, your platform account and your analytics should all sit in your name, so if you ever move on, everything stays with you.
Send us your business name, your current site if you have one and what the new site needs to do. We will come back with a straight answer on scope, timing and cost.
