Before you buy

Exactly what $500 AUD + GST gets you.

No fine print. No "it depends". Here's what's in, what's out, and who this is actually built for. $500 AUD website fee + $50 GST = $550 AUD total.

01 / Included

What's included

Everything below is part of the flat $500 AUD + GST build.

  1. Up to 3 pages

    Home, About, Contact. That's the sweet spot for a service business. Clean, focused, converts.

  2. Custom design, hand-coded

    Built from scratch. Not WordPress. Not Webflow. Not Framer. Not Lovable. Not an AI generator. Real code you own outright.

  3. Mobile-first, fully responsive

    Looks right on every device. Phone, tablet, desktop - tested, not assumed.

  4. PageSpeed 90+ (we're obsessed)

    Fast sites rank. Fast sites convert. We don't ship slow.

  5. SEO foundation

    Title tags, meta descriptions, structured data, XML sitemap, canonical tags. The basics done right so Google can actually find you.

  6. Contact form that actually sends

    A working enquiry form. Not broken. Not going to spam. It lands in your inbox.

  7. Google Maps embed

    Your location, your hours, click-to-call. Everything a local customer needs.

  8. Photo gallery

    Show your work. Your photos, laid out properly. Not a grid of broken thumbnails.

  9. Social media links

    Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn - wherever you are, we link to it.

  10. PDF menu link (cafes and restaurants)

    Update it yourself whenever you like. No developer needed, no agency call at $150 an hour to change a price.

  11. Hosting, security and domain connection

    Launch hosting, SSL, and baseline security are included in the flat price. We connect your domain, you point the DNS, and we handle the rest.

  12. 30-day post-launch support

    Need a tweak after launch? Direct access, fast responses. No support tickets, no call centres.

  13. Full ownership. No lock-in.

    All code, all files. Yours forever. No proprietary platform, no ongoing licence fees, no being held hostage.

  14. Live in 7 days

    From payment to live site in a week. Not 6-8 weeks. Not 'once the creative brief is approved'. 7 days.

02 / Boundaries

What's not included

You're not getting Facebook.com for $500 AUD + GST. Be realistic.

  1. Online stores, carts, or checkout

    Use Shopify. Seriously, it's built for this.

  2. Booking systems or reservation platforms

    Square, Acuity, Calendly - these exist and they're good. We can link to them.

  3. Online ordering (restaurants)

    We'll build the site and link your PDF menu. Ordering platforms are a different product entirely.

  4. Membership sites or login portals

    That needs a database. It's a web app, not a website.

  5. More than 3 pages

    Need more? Email us - we quote that separately.

  6. Content writing

    You provide the words. We make them look great.

  7. Logo design

    Can we move the logo three pixels left and make the font three points bigger? No. That won't create more sales. Get the site live.

  8. Ongoing SEO or ad management

    Launch hosting and baseline security are included. Ongoing SEO and content updates are optional after launch.

  9. Finishing your sister's brother's friend's website

    If they 'know websites and SEO' and built two-thirds of it, they should finish it. You don't take a half-plumbed sink to a plumber and ask for the fixed-price install. We build from scratch, using the system we know works. While they're at it, ask them to change your car tyres.

  10. Anything you already know is too complex for $500 AUD + GST

    If you're thinking 'this probably costs more' - it does. Email us.

03 / How this works

No meetings. No proposals. No agency process.

Pay. Fill in a short brief. We build it. You review it. It goes live. That's it.

There are no kickoff calls, no discovery workshops, no 12-page proposals, no Slack channels, no weekly syncs, and no project managers in the middle. This is a fixed product. You're not buying a custom agency engagement - you're buying a well-built website.

  1. 01

    No discovery calls

    The brief is a short form. Fill it in. Takes 10 minutes.

  2. 02

    No proposals or scope documents

    Scope is fixed. 3 pages. Done.

  3. 03

    Two rounds of revisions

    Not unlimited. Not 'I've completely changed my mind'. Two rounds of reasonable changes within the agreed design.

  4. 04

    No ongoing project management

    We build, we hand it over. Ongoing support is optional and simple.

  5. 05

    No, we can't add just one more thing

    Extra pages, custom functionality, booking systems - these are separate quotes. Not add-ons mid-build.

  6. 06

    No dragging this out for months

    You get a realistic timeline upfront. We hit it. We don't go silent.

Important

Built with 20+ years of web experience. Yours to keep.

Every site is hand-coded from scratch. Not WordPress. Not Wix. Not Squarespace. Not Webflow. Not Framer. Not Lovable. Not a $19 ThemeForest template with your logo slapped on it. Not AI-generated.

Real code. Fast, secure, and yours - no plugin subscriptions, no CMS licence fees, no page builder holding you hostage. When you want to update something, email us. Basic changes are fast and cheap. Or we can set you up to edit your own content. Either way, you're not stuck paying someone $150 an hour to change your phone number.
