Canberra sits in an awkward place on price. Local agencies commonly quote $4,000 to $10,000 for a business website — close to Sydney rates — while the market has far fewer studios competing, so quotes are less disciplined than they would be in Melbourne or Brisbane.
Ours are published and fixed: $800 for three to five pages, $1,900 for up to ten, $3,500 for unlimited pages, $4,500 for e-commerce. AUD, before GST, in writing before work starts. The wider market numbers are in what a website costs in Australia.
Tell us what the business does and we will design your homepage using your real name, services and photos — free, no deposit, no obligation. It is a design rather than a working site; the build starts only if you decide to go ahead. Ask from the contact page.
Canberra is a smaller search market than the eastern capitals, and that works in your favour. There are fewer businesses competing for the same local terms, so a properly built site with correct local schema and suburb-level pages can reach page one faster here than the same effort would in Sydney.
We include Google Business Profile setup and local schema in every Canberra project — the two things with the largest effect on appearing in the Maps pack for ACT searches. If you want to do that part yourself first, our guide to getting your business on Google walks through it free.
We work with businesses across Canberra City, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden Valley, Tuggeranong, Braddon, Kingston, Manuka, Dickson, Fyshwick, Mitchell and across the border in Queanbeyan and the wider ACT region.
Delivery is remote, so your location within the ACT makes no difference to what we build or what it costs.
Canberra runs on AEST/AEDT, the same clock as Sydney and Melbourne. Your day-to-day contact is in Australia on Australian hours, and work happens overnight your time — so questions sent in the afternoon are usually answered by the following morning.
Nothing is withheld to make a cheaper tier look worse — the full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Our published prices are $800 AUD for three to five pages, $1,900 for up to ten pages, $3,500 for unlimited pages and $4,500 for e-commerce. Canberra agencies commonly quote $4,000 to $10,000 for equivalent scope. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts.
No. We work with Canberra businesses remotely and say so plainly rather than implying a local office. Your contact is in Australia on AEST hours, you get a live staging link from the first week, and the price is lower than a local agency carrying premises costs.
Google Business Profile setup and local schema markup are included in every Canberra project, and those are the two elements with the biggest effect on Maps visibility. We cannot promise a specific ranking and anyone who does is guessing — what we can promise is that the technical foundation will not be what holds you back.
Five to seven business days for three to five pages, two to three weeks for up to ten, four to six weeks for e-commerce. The biggest variable is how quickly you supply content — builds that run long are almost always waiting on copy or photos rather than on development.
Completely. Source code, repository and hosting account in your name, deployed to your own Vercel account where possible. You can move to another developer at any time and nothing breaks. Several Australian agencies build on proprietary systems that require a rebuild to leave, and that is rarely disclosed upfront.
Tell us what the business needs to do and we will send back a written scope with a fixed AUD price within one business day.
