Web design on the Gold Coast
Local websites, built by a local, for about the cost of a decent set of tyres.
I'm JP, and I build websites from right here on the Gold Coast. If you're a tradie or small business looking for affordable web design on the Gold Coast, I'll build your new site first, show you a working preview on your phone, and you only pay $499 if you love it. Happy to meet for a coffee or sort it all over the phone.

What a good Gold Coast website needs
- Gold Coast tradies
- Cafes, restaurants and takeaways
- Hair and beauty studios
- Cleaners and home services
- Builders and renovators
- Pool, outdoor and landscaping businesses
- Sole traders across the coast and hinterland
The suburbs you actually service
Southport, Burleigh, Robina, Nerang, Coomera, Palm Beach, Helensvale: name the areas you cover. It helps locals know you'll come to them, and helps Google match you to nearby searches.
Built for people on the go
Gold Coasters search on their phones, often between the beach and the next job. Tap-to-call, tap-to-text and tap-for-directions buttons need to be right there.
Local photos, local reviews
Your own jobs, your own shopfront and your Google reviews from real Gold Coast customers beat stock photos of someone else's city.
Up-to-date hours and specials
Holiday trading, school holiday specials, storm-season call-outs. A site that's out of date costs you customers, so on the "Done for you" plan I refresh it monthly.
A clear way to book or quote
Whether it's a table, a haircut or a hot water system, make the next step easy with a short form or a big call button.
Ties in with your Google profile
Your website and Google Business Profile should match: same name, address, phone and hours. It keeps things consistent for customers and for Google.
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.
Service area checker
Customers pick their suburb and see straight away whether you cover it, from your own list of areas.
Quote or booking helper
A short form with photo upload for tradies, or a simple booking request for salons and venues, so enquiries arrive complete.
Storm-season or holiday checklist
A simple, useful guide for your customers, like a pre-storm-season home checklist or a holiday-hours page, that gives locals a reason to come back.

Common Gold Coast website mistakes (I fix these)
- No mention of which suburbs you service, so locals aren't sure you'll come to them.
- Holiday trading hours from last Christmas still on the home page.
- Stock photos of a city that clearly isn't the Gold Coast.
- An address or phone number that doesn't match your Google profile.
- Paying a big agency thousands for a site you can't even update.
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 web design on the Gold Coast cost with you?
$499 once, including GST. Add $99 to have it loaded onto your own hosting, or go "Done for you" at $39 a month for hosting, management and a monthly refresh, with free setup and no lock-in.
How long does it take?
You'll get a private preview link within 24 to 48 hours. Try it on your phone, ask for changes, and we go live once you're happy.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I'm based on the Gold Coast, so I'm happy to catch up for a coffee if that suits you. Plenty of people prefer to sort it all by phone and text, and that works just as well.
Do I need a domain or hosting?
You buy your own web address in your own name, for example at VentraIP. I do the technical setup, which takes about 30 minutes of your time. Hosting is included on the "Done for you" plan.
Will my site show up when people search on the Gold Coast?
I build it so Google can read it: fast, with proper titles, your business details marked up and your service areas listed. That helps you get found locally. No one can honestly guarantee top spot, and your Google Business Profile and reviews play a big part too.
Do you only work with Gold Coast businesses?
No, I work with businesses right across Australia. But if you're local, it's nice to be able to put a face to the name.
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.
