Pricing
What a tradie website actually costs
Clear starting prices for tradies and small businesses, and a single fixed quote before any work begins. No agency mark-ups and no surprise invoices.
Prices reviewed September 2026.
The short answer
A one-page website for a sole trader starts at $990. A full multi-page business site starts at $2,490. If you need an online store or a real booking system, that starts at $4,990. Those are build prices, paid once, and they include the domain and your Google Business Profile being set up properly. Email on your own domain is quoted separately, because Microsoft and Google bill it monthly per mailbox rather than once.
Ongoing, you pay nothing to me unless you want to. The Care Plan covers hosting, the domain and updates from $49 a month and is what I recommend, but you own the site either way and can host it anywhere. Publishing these numbers loses me the price-shoppers early, which suits us both.

The detail
What actually changes the price
Six things move a quote up or down. None of them is a surprise once the work starts, which is the point of listing them here rather than in an invoice.
How many pages
A one-page site works for a sole trader with one service and one suburb. The moment you want a page per service, or a page per suburb, you are in multi-page territory, and that is most of the gap between $990 and $2,490.
Whether your content is ready
Photographs of your own finished jobs are the single most valuable thing you can bring, and the thing most often missing. If the copy has to be written from scratch off the back of a phone call, that takes longer than building the page it goes on.
Whether you need to update it yourself
A portfolio that only grows when you email your web guy stops growing. If you want to add jobs, photos and prices yourself, that means a content management system behind the site, and it is worth budgeting for on any trade where the work is the sales pitch.
Bookings, payments or a store
Enquiry forms and click-to-call are standard. Taking bookings or money online is a different job, and it is not always the right one: for a single-machine hire business, a booking system will happily take a deposit for a job the machine cannot physically reach.
Whether there is an existing site
Sometimes a site has good bones and needs a refresh rather than a rebuild, which is cheaper. Sometimes it is built on something that has to be unpicked first, which is not. I will tell you which one you have got before quoting.
How much of the rest you want handled
Domain registration and the Google Business Profile are part of getting a business online properly, and both are in the build price. Email on your own domain is the one piece that runs month to month: Microsoft and Google bill per mailbox, so I quote the setup and any ongoing admin separately rather than baking a moving number into the build. Hold the account yourself or leave it with me, whichever suits.

Why not just use a website builder?
Builders like Wix and Squarespace are fine if you have the time to do it all yourself. For most small business owners, that time costs more than the site, and you never really own what you build.

FAQ
Pricing questions
- Why “from” a price?
- Every business is different, so the starting price covers a typical project in that tier. After a quick chat I give you a single, fixed quote, agreed before any work starts, with no hidden costs.
- How do payments work?
- A 50% deposit books your spot in the calendar, and the remaining 50% is due when your site goes live, which keeps the risk low for both of us.
- Are there any ongoing fees?
- The build is a one-off cost. After that, I recommend letting me host your site and look after the domain through the Care Plan, so one local person keeps it fast, secure and reliable. If you would rather manage your own hosting and domain, that is fine: you own everything and can run it yourself or with any provider whenever you like. The one cost that is always monthly is email on your own domain, if you want it, because Microsoft or Google bill that per mailbox. You can hold the account yourself, or I can set it up and run it for you for a separate fee.
- Do I own the website?
- Completely, with no proprietary lock-in. You own the site, domain and content and can take them elsewhere whenever you like.
- What if I need something custom?
- These tiers cover most small businesses, but I am happy to quote anything bespoke. Get in touch and tell me what you have in mind.
- Do prices include GST?
- I will set out the GST clearly on your written quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
- How much does a tradie website cost in Australia?
- You will see offers from a few hundred dollars up to five figures, and the gap is mostly about how much is actually done for you. My own prices are on this page: $990 for a one-page site, $2,490 for a full multi-page business site, and $4,990 where a store or booking system is involved. What moves a quote within that range is the number of pages, whether your photos and copy are ready, and whether you need to be able to update the site yourself.
- Why are some websites only $500?
- Usually because it is a template with your logo dropped in, or because the low number is a build price attached to a long hosting contract you cannot leave. Both can be perfectly reasonable if you know that is what you are buying. Ask two questions before you sign: do I own the site and the domain outright, and what happens to it if I stop paying you.
- Do I need a website if I already have a Facebook page and a Google listing?
- The Google Business Profile is doing more work than most tradies realise, and if you only ever do one thing, claim and fill that in properly. But a listing gives you no room to show ten finished jobs, explain what you do and do not take on, or answer the compliance question a careful customer is already worrying about. The site is where that lives, and it feeds the listing rather than competing with it.
- How long does a trade website take?
- A one-page site is usually one to two weeks. A full multi-page site is typically a few weeks from the first chat to launch. The bottleneck is almost never the build; it is getting photographs and sign-off back from someone who is on the tools all day, which is worth knowing before you start.
