Our packaged sites cover what most small businesses need on a small-business budget. Sometimes, though, the shape of the business doesn't fit a packaged option. That's when we build a custom site.
How a custom build is different
A packaged site uses a tested layout and a fixed content model. A custom site:
- Starts with a bespoke design instead of a tested template.
- Lets us add features that aren't in the standard package: bookings, membership, e-commerce, restricted-access sections.
- Has a content model shaped around your business, not a generic one.
How the process works
We always start with a conversation about what you're trying to do. We look at sites you like and sites you don't. We talk about what the site needs to do beyond looking good. From that conversation we put together a fixed-price quote with one number, one timeline and one scope.
Once the quote is approved, we invoice half up front, build the site, then invoice the second half on launch. Hosting is billed separately on our standard annual plan.
What it costs
Custom sites land in a wider price range than packaged ones, because the brief varies. Our full website package including branding is $3,000 +GST — that's the most common starting point for a custom build. Bigger or more bespoke projects are quoted after we've talked through the brief.
