What it actually costs

AI website pricing in Australia — the honest numbers.

Before you compare plans, here is what the market actually charges in 2024 AUD.

DIY platform

$200–$600

year one (AUD)

  • Wix, Squarespace, or Shopify subscription
  • Plus 20–40 hours of your own time to build it
  • Plus domain registration (~$20/yr .com.au)
  • Copy still has to be written by you
  • SEO and schema: your problem

Local freelancer

$3,000–$8,000

all-in, one-off (AUD)

  • Typical day rate: $600–$900 in Sydney, Melbourne
  • 4–6 week timeline is common, sometimes longer
  • 50% deposit before work begins
  • Hosting and domain extra after handover
  • Edits billed hourly post-launch

Full-service agency

$15,000–$80,000

project fee (AUD)

  • Discovery, strategy, brand, design, build — all separate phases
  • 8–14 weeks to a live URL is normal
  • Retainer on top to keep things updated
  • Account manager between you and the builder
  • Right for large brands; overkill for most SMBs

Where we sit

We charge $528–$744 AUD in year one (Hosted plan, paid monthly). That includes hosting, SSL, domain management, all editorial updates, and the initial build. No deposit before you see the site. No hourly rate for changes. Billed via Stripe in AUD, on a month-by-month basis you can cancel any time.

We are not the cheapest option if your measure is dollars-per-hour of someone else’s labour. We are the cheapest option if your measure is time-to-revenue and risk: you see the full site before a card is charged.

Honest comparison

Stack us up against the alternatives.

The first cell on every row is what we deliver. The next two are what most clients walked away from before they found us.

Pricing FAQ

The questions before you click subscribe.

How fast can you actually launch?

Most businesses receive a complete first draft inside 72 hours of submitting the brief. Final go-live depends on your feedback speed — most clients are public within a week.

Do I have to write the copy?

No. We draft conversion-tested copy from your business details and your industry's known buying signals. You review, we refine — same process whether you've never written a line or you have a brand voice doc.

What's actually included for $44 a month?

A full website (home, services, contact, plus the pages your industry needs), Cloudflare hosting, SSL, mobile optimisation, all schema and SEO basics, and ongoing edits. The only thing missing is a custom domain — that's the $62 plan.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. No lock-in, no minimum term. Cancel directly from your Stripe receipt at any time and the site comes down at the end of the billing period.

What if I don't like the draft?

Then you don't pay. We hand back two rounds of revisions free. If round two still isn't right, we expire the link and part as friends — that's the whole point of building first.

Is this just a template?

No. Every site is built fresh from your brief. We re-use proven layout patterns (because they convert) but the design system, copy, palette, photography, and structure are made for you.

Who owns the site?

You do. We host and maintain it under your subscription, but the code, content, and domain are yours. Cancel and we hand the lot over — no ransom.

What's the $107 Done-for-you plan?

A senior builder takes the wheel each month. Bigger updates, custom integrations, deeper marketing-side improvements. Best for businesses that want a website that keeps getting better, not one that sits still.

No deposit. No risk.
