Website
$500 AUD + GST

$500 AUD website fee + $50 GST = $550 AUD total.

Simple. Finished. Yours. Up to three hand-coded pages with clean crawlable HTML, SEO foundations, contact form, launch hosting, SSL, baseline security, and full code ownership.

  • Up to 3 pages (Home, About, Contact)
  • Custom design, hand-coded
  • Mobile-first responsive layout
  • PageSpeed 90+ baseline
  • Working contact form
  • SEO + GEO foundations
  • Launch hosting + SSL + baseline security
  • Domain connection help
Optional CMS
+$100 AUD + GST

A CMS - a content management system - is the layer that lets you edit the site yourself once it's live. Change headings, service copy, FAQs, facts and figures, add new text, even swap images - no waiting on a developer. It is not a drag-and-drop visual designer like Framer or Webflow. Those are design systems for rebuilding layouts, and when your goal is leads, the layout should stay put.

  • · Simple fields, not a bloated dashboard
  • · Change copy after launch without a rebuild
  • · Add text or images without touching the design
  • · Still own the code and the files
After launch
Two rounds of tweaks included.

Once the site is live, two rounds of reasonable copy, presentation, and layout tweaks are included within the existing design. Not a second build. Not unlimited redesigns.

What does a $500 AUD + GST website actually get you in Australia?

A lot more than most Aussie tradies expect for $500 AUD + GST. The flat rate covers a custom-designed, hand-coded website - three pages (Home, About, Contact), built from scratch. Not a WordPress theme bought off Themeforest. Not a Squarespace template. Not an AI-generated page with your logo pasted on top. Every build includes mobile-first responsive design, PageSpeed 90+ performance, a working contact form, SEO foundations (title tags, meta descriptions, schema markup, XML sitemap), launch hosting, SSL, baseline security, and 30 days of post-launch support. When it's done, you own every file, every line of code. No lock-in. No ongoing licence fees. That's the 500bucksite.com.au promise.

SEO and AI search - built in

Every build includes the SEO foundations that actually matter: clean semantic HTML, schema, fast load times, mobile-first indexing, XML sitemap, canonical tags, and meta written for humans and search engines.

Clean, crawlable pages give search engines less to untangle and customers less to wait for. There is no page-builder bloat, plugin chain, or unnecessary dashboard overhead quietly slowing the site down.

We also build for GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation. As AI-powered search becomes how people find local businesses, structured data and clear content matter more. That is baked in from day one.

You will not get this from someone who has never done SEO and built on Lovable or Framer. This is 20+ years of knowing what ranks - delivered at $500 AUD + GST.

Fast cheap websites - what that means here

Usually it means shortcuts. Wix templates. Plugin-heavy WordPress. Fiverr clones of every other site in your industry.

We build fast the right way - hand-coded, no bloat, no page builder shipping 400kb of JavaScript for three pages. Cheap because overhead is low, not because quality is.

That also means less to patch and less to manage: no WordPress plugin stack, no page-builder updates, and no separate server manager needed just to keep a simple brochure site healthy. Launch hosting and baseline security are included; ongoing SEO and content work is optional.

PageSpeed 90+ is the baseline. Fast sites rank and convert. That is not debatable.

$500 AUD + GST vs $5,000

Australian agencies quote $5,000–$15,000 + GST for the same job. The extra cost goes on account managers, project managers, proposals, discovery sessions, revision rounds, and CBD office rent in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane. You're not paying for a better website - you're paying for a bigger process. A properly built $500 AUD + GST website - clean code, fast load times, solid SEO foundations - will outperform most $3,000 agency sites in speed, ranking, and conversions. Price doesn't determine quality. Process does.

Who it is for

Australian tradies, sparkies, plumbers, mechanics, mobile mechanics, locksmiths, removalists, cleaners, gardeners, pest controllers, gym owners, physios, clinics, cafes - anyone running a local service business anywhere in Australia. Sydney CBD, Parramatta, Newcastle, Wollongong, Greater Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Townsville, Perth, Fremantle, Mandurah, Adelaide, Darwin, Hobart, Launceston, Canberra, regional NSW, regional Vic, regional Qld - wherever you trade. If you need clients to find you on Google, see what you do, and call or message you - a $500 AUD + GST website does exactly that. It's not for e-commerce, booking platforms, or anything complex. Three clean, fast pages. One clear price.

Check the requirements page if you are unsure.

What's the cheapest website company in Australia?

Plenty of operators on Fiverr and Airtasker will quote $200. You'll get a Wix template they spent two hours on. Wix and Squarespace start from about $30 AUD/month - that's $360 AUD/year forever, and you never own the site. Over five years that's $1,800 AUD for something you can't take with you when they hike prices. A $500 AUD + GST website you own outright works out cheaper than ongoing page-builder fees. Built properly, not from a template.

$500 AUD + GST website FAQ

Is GST added to the $500 price?
Yes. The website is $500 AUD + GST. A tax invoice with the GST breakdown is sent on request. ABN 13 397 539 044.

All of it. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin, Canberra, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, Cairns, regional NSW, regional Vic, regional Qld, regional WA - wherever you trade. Everything is delivered remotely. Most clients we never meet in person.
Can I host the website in Australia?
Yes. Our default hosting serves from edge datacentres across Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide) - fast for Aussie visitors. If you specifically want Australian-owned hosting (Bunny, VentraIP, Digital Pacific, AWS ap-southeast-2 etc.) we can set that up at cost.
Do you handle the domain name?
Yes. We'll register your .com.au, .au, or .net.au domain on your behalf at cost (around $20 AUD/year), or transfer your existing domain. Either way it's registered in your name - never ours. ABN required for .com.au; we can guide you if you don't have one.
What about ABN compliance for the website?
For Australian businesses we recommend showing your ABN in the footer for trust and ATO/ASIC compliance. Optional but encouraged. Our ABN is 13 397 539 044 - visible in our own footer and on every invoice.

Yes. $500 AUD + GST flat for the website, including launch hosting, SSL, and baseline security. Optional CMS is +$100 AUD + GST; ongoing SEO and content updates are optional after launch.
How long does it take to build?
We build as fast as we can once your brief is in. Timeline depends on how quickly you provide content and assets. You get a realistic estimate upfront and updates throughout.
What do I need to provide?
Business basics, contact details, and a content starting point. Logo, photos, and domain preference help. The brief form after checkout walks you through it.
Can I edit content myself later?
Yes. Choose the optional CMS for +$100 AUD + GST. Simple Pages CMS fields for common content - not a bloated admin panel.
What do the two revision rounds cover?
Reasonable copy changes, presentation tweaks, and layout adjustments within the existing design. Not extra pages, new features, or a different design direction.
Can it rank on Google?
SEO foundations are baked in: title tags, meta, schema, speed, mobile-first design. Ranking still takes time and content, but the technical base is solid from day one.
What if I am not happy with it?
Two revision rounds are included. If you are genuinely unhappy after that and it missed the brief, we refund. We have never had to - but the option is there.
