COMMON QUESTIONS
Straight answers.
Before you get started.
Pricing, ownership, revisions and Google. The practical things that help you decide.
Building your website
How much does a website cost?
Starter is $790 + GST, Business is $1,490 + GST and Growth is $2,490 + GST. That is $869, $1,639 and $2,739 including GST. Each is a one-off website fee with a defined scope.
I don’t know anything about websites. Can you help me?
Yes. Start with what your business does, who your customers are and what you want the website to achieve. We explain the choices in plain language and agree the work before starting.
What do I need to give you?
Your logo, business information, service details, contact details and any photos you have permission to use. We also discuss domain access and any existing website. Starter needs your main copy supplied; Business includes basic editing and Growth includes help with copy structure.
How many revisions do I get?
Starter includes 1 round, Business 2 rounds and Growth 3 rounds. A round is one collected set of feedback within the agreed scope. New requirements and additional rounds are quoted before we do the work.
How long does a website take?
We confirm a realistic schedule in your quote after reviewing the pages, content and features. Timing depends on the scope, when materials arrive and how quickly feedback is returned. We do not promise the same deadline for every project.
What happens if I need more pages?
We quote the extra pages before building them. You can compare that with moving to the next website tier, so you understand the scope and price either way.
Can you redesign an existing website?
Yes. Send the current website and tell us what is not working. We review what can be kept, what needs improving and which package or scope makes sense.
Do you build online stores?
No. We do not currently build Shopify, WooCommerce or ecommerce stores. If you already run an online store, we can help market it through Google Ads, Facebook & Instagram campaigns, landing-page improvements, tracking, creative testing and conversion work.
Do I need a new website before you can help with marketing?
No. If your current website is doing its job, we work with it. If it is making it hard for customers to understand your offer or enquire, we can improve the enquiry flow, create landing pages or recommend a new standard business website.
What counts as a standard business website?
Our fixed-price packages are for normal business websites: Home, About, Services, Contact, FAQs, galleries, testimonials and enquiry forms. Maps, social links, videos, downloadable documents and links or embeds for established third-party platforms are usually straightforward. Custom booking workflows, calculators, live property listings, member areas, advanced CRM connections and other specialised functionality are scoped and quoted separately.
Can you add online bookings?
Yes. If you already use a booking platform, we can often link it or embed it into your website. More advanced booking systems are quoted separately because their complexity varies greatly.
Can you build a quote calculator or custom form?
Yes. Simple enquiry forms are included in the standard packages. Multi-step or conditional forms, calculators and custom quoting tools are scoped and quoted separately.
What if my website needs something unusual?
Tell us what you need. We will confirm whether it fits a standard package or provide a separate quote before any work begins.
Ownership and ongoing support
Do I have to pay every month?
No. Your website is a one-off project. Local SEO & Google Maps, Google Ads and Facebook & Instagram Ads are optional ongoing services. Domain, hosting and third-party costs are explained separately.
Who owns my website?
Your business owns the website. We hand over the website and agreed access so you can keep it with us or arrange your own support. Any third-party software or stock assets remain subject to their own licences.
Can I manage the website myself?
Yes. We agree on how you want to edit the website before choosing the setup. We explain the handover and what you can update yourself. You do not need to buy a maintenance plan.
Can you update the website for me?
Yes. Website-only customers can request a separate quote for updates. For ongoing SEO or Ads clients, changes directly related to marketing may be included within the agreed scope.
What happens if I need changes after launch?
Business includes 30 days of post-launch support and Growth includes 60 days; the scope is confirmed in your quote. Further website support is available when required and can be quoted separately.
English and Chinese
Can you build my website in English and Chinese?
Yes. Add a proper second-language version to any website package: Starter +$300, Business +$600 or Growth +$900, excluding GST. The add-on follows the selected package’s agreed pages and scope. Each language has its own pages and URLs.
Can I speak to you in Chinese?
Of course. Explain your business in the language that comes naturally. We help turn that understanding into clear English and/or Chinese content for your Australian customers.
Google and enquiries
What is SEO?
SEO means improving a website so search engines can understand it and people can find useful pages in normal search results. It involves the content, structure and technical condition of the website.
What is Local SEO & Google Maps?
Local SEO focuses on searches for services in an area. It includes your website, Google Business Profile and Google Maps presence, so customers can find relevant information about your local business.
What is the difference between SEO and Google Ads?
SEO builds visibility in normal search results and Maps over time. Organic clicks are not charged per click by Google. Google Ads uses a separate advertising budget to pay for search advertising clicks and can bring visibility more quickly. Neither guarantees enquiries.
Is advertising spend included?
No. Advertising spend is separate. Google spend is paid directly to Google; Facebook and Instagram spend is paid directly to Meta. Standard paid-media management pricing applies to accounts spending up to $5,000/month per platform. One Growth Service is $690 + GST/month, Any Two is $1,190 + GST/month and Full Growth is $1,590 + GST/month. Larger or more complex accounts are quoted separately.
Do I have to buy SEO?
No. You can buy a website on its own. The search setup included in your website package is part of the build. Ongoing Local SEO is an optional, separate growth service.
Do you guarantee number-one Google rankings?
No. We do not guarantee rankings, traffic or a set number of enquiries. We agree the work, track relevant changes and explain what we are doing and why.
How are Facebook & Instagram Ads different from Google Ads?
Google Ads can reach people already searching for your services. Facebook & Instagram Ads can introduce your business before people search and retarget previous visitors where audience size, consent and platform rules allow. Photography, video shoots and large-scale creative production are separate unless quoted as included.
