The REAL cost of a DIY website.
Website design is a bit like some trades; you can have a go and do it yourself – It might take a bit longer and might be a bit rough around the edges, but you got the job done, right? The thing is, when customers are looking to hire a professional or buy products these days, the first place they start is an online search. Plus, every hour you spend building your site is an hour you could have spend building your business, and how appealing does it look?
What’s the first impression a customer will have of your brand/business?
So, you have a choice – build your own website or get a professional to do it for you.

How we calculate
- An average website takes us around 15 hours to design and complete, so we are giving you the benefit of the doubt that you can DIY a website as fast as us.
- This is based on the entry-level business plan offered by Wix and Weebly (around $14USD/month which is around $19AUD/month).
How we compare
one low monthly fee
We are a small business too, so we understand how big upfront costs make it hard to get online – so we’ve rolled all the costs of a website into a single monthly fee with ZERO upfront cost. If you need extra features, like selling products online, this can be added to your monthly fee. You only pay for what you need.

We look after everything for you, so you can focus on your business
Need something a little different?
We pride ourselves on being the simplest way to get your business online, but you may want your website to do something out of the box. We can still help at an additional fee, and we will always let you know of extra costs before we start.

What our clients have to say
Asking Gary for help with my website was one of the best decisions I made in the whole process. While I had a very basic website set up already, there were a lot of technical things that I had no idea where to start with. With a strict deadline to adhere to, things were all very stressful until I asked Gary for help! Gary was able to explain everything clearly for me and take control of the areas that I was struggling with. With his help, I had a functional website up and running quickly that I could be proud of to display my work. Thank you Gary for your help so I could simply focus on being creative and running my business. I would 100% recommend Gary to anyone needing help with their website.
