Websites for small businesses
A proper website without the agency price tag, or the agency waffle.
If you run a small business, you need a website that looks the part, works on a phone and tells people how to reach you, without paying thousands for it. I build affordable small business websites from scratch, show you a working preview first, and you only pay $499 if you love it. Sole traders, shops and service businesses Australia-wide.

The basics, where people expect them
What you do, where you are, your hours and how to reach you. If someone has to hunt for your opening hours, they'll ring the place down the road instead.
Made for phones first
Most people will find you on their phone. Big text, big buttons, tap to call, tap to text and tap for directions.
Real photos of your place and your work
Your shopfront, your team, your food, your finished jobs. I use your own photos from Facebook and Instagram so it looks like you, not a template.
Reviews that do the selling
Your happy customers already said nice things on Google. I put the best of them right on your site.
Prices or a clear starting point
Even a "from" price or a menu helps people decide. It cuts down on "how much?" messages and brings in customers who already know you suit them.
Easy to keep up to date
Specials, holiday hours and new prices change. On the "Done for you" plan you just email me and I update it, plus a full refresh every month.
Free tools I can build for your customers
Every site I build gives your customers something useful for free, so they stay, trust you and call.
Booking or enquiry helper
A short, friendly form that asks what they need and when, so you get complete enquiries instead of "hi, do u do this?" messages.
Price or package picker
Customers choose what they want and see a price or "from" price straight away, using your own price list.
Handy guide or checklist
Something genuinely useful for your customers, like a "how to prepare for your appointment" guide or an end-of-lease cleaning checklist, that gives people a reason to come back and share it.
Example websites
Tap one to try it. Every site I build is different, designed around the business, its photos and its customers.
Built first. Paid only if you love it.
Tell me about your business
Two-minute form or a quick call. Send your Facebook, Instagram or Google listing and I'll grab your photos, reviews and logo.
Try your new site on your phone
I send a private preview link within 24 to 48 hours. Ask for changes until it's right.
Love it? $499, once
Then I put it live on your own web address. Don't love it? Walk away. You owe nothing, no deposit taken.
Common small business website mistakes (I fix these)
- Opening hours that are wrong, or nowhere to be found.
- A cheap template that looks exactly like a thousand other sites.
- No prices at all, so people go somewhere that shows them.
- Tiny text and buttons that are impossible to use on a phone.
- A site built years ago that nobody can update any more.
What it costs
Every website is custom built and costs $499, including GST. Then pick how you want it looked after.
Done for you most popular
I put it live, host it and look after it, and refresh it every month, 12 times a year, with your latest job photos, newest Google reviews and any changes you email in. Setup free. No lock-in.
On your hosting
I build it and load it onto hosting you already pay for (I check it'll work first).
Files only
I build it and send you every file. You put it online yourself.
Need a logo? $149 for 10 options. Extras (like another page) are $50 each. More answers.
Questions people ask
How much does a small business website cost?
$499 once, including GST. Add $99 if you want it loaded onto your own hosting, or choose "Done for you" at $39 a month for hosting, management and a monthly refresh, with free setup and no lock-in. Extra pages are $50 each.
How long will it take?
You'll have a private preview link within 24 to 48 hours. You try it, I make your changes, and we go live once you're happy.
Do I need a domain or hosting?
You'll need your own web address, bought in your own name, for example at VentraIP. I handle the technical setup, which takes about 30 minutes of your time. Hosting is included on the "Done for you" plan.
Will it show on Google?
It's built so Google can read it: fast, with proper page titles and your business details marked up. That helps you get found. I won't promise you the number one spot, because nobody honest can.
I don't have a logo. Can you help?
Yes. Logo design is $149 and you get 10 options to choose from.
Why is this so much cheaper than an agency?
It's just me, there's no sales team, and you're not paying for months of meetings. I build the site first so you can see exactly what you're getting before you spend a cent.
See yours before you spend a cent
Two minutes to ask. A private preview in 24 to 48 hours. $499 only if you love it.
