Website Design Prices and Rates
The most frequently asked question is, 'how much will a website cost'? The cost of website development can vary from free to thousands of dollars. Paying more does not necessarily mean that you will get a better website.
A free website can be developed by using DIY websites - a 30 page Do-It-Yourself website solution that comes with thousands of website templates and is free with advanced or premium website hosting plans. There is no need to download or install software, and when you order web hosting, we make sure that all you need to do, is login, build your website and click publish.
Or if you want a professional website developed, the starting price for a 6 page website is AU $650 + GST. This is great value because our websites are handcoded with CSS stylesheets and we also make the extra effort of inserting titletags, keywords and page descriptions into the website code. Most web designers do not do this because it takes longer to do. Not
spending the time and effort, ensuring that the code is done right
means that your site will not appear on search results, even on basic
searches like searching for your company name.
We have seen developers charge from $2,000 to $10,000 for small websites. There seems to be no standardized pricing for website design.

Comparing prices and serviceBe
aware that website design is not like hiring a plumber to change a
washer; the service will vary considerably. Some web designers use
programs like Dreamweaver to design your website, while others will
hand code your website in standards compliant HTML. The end result is
very different.
Some designers will happily take your 50% deposit and build you a website that they think will be right for your business (or will look good in their portfolio) and you can take it or leave it, like it or lump it.
We custom design your website to your requirements and we do NOT require a deposit and customers only pay us, at the completion of the project, when they are 100% satisfied. See
website packages for available plans.
