How Much Will All This Cost Me?

• A splash page (that’s a single page containing your most important information) including a contact form, will take an investment from only $250 (includes a FREE domain name and website hosting for 1 year).
• The price for a full business website generally starts from around $1500 AUD (which may or may not include a website photography package – see below).
• As the pictures displayed on a website tend to be the MOST important single element that distinguishes quality and professionalism, we also provide a website photography package for $600 which includes up to 2 professional on-site photo shoots and gives you a complete set of super high quality digital images that can be then used for other advertising, printing, billboards, business cards, websites, brochures and promotional material).
• An E-Commerce website (with products and a functional and safe shopping cart) starts around $2200,

…but a FREE consultation with a client generally allows greater flexibility and a much better estimate.

Website Maintenance

• If you have an existing website that needs attention, I can help you get it ranked higher in searches, make it look appropriately professional, add extra features, update your website technology and write some compelling website copy..and more…
• Maintenance is currently charged at $40 per hour or $300 per day. If you anticipate regular changes, a maintenance contract can also be negotiated.
