Sydney has the most expensive commercial rents in the country, and agency pricing reflects it. A five-page business website that costs $2,000 in Adelaide is routinely quoted at $8,000 to $15,000 in the Sydney CBD. The build is the same. What differs is the overhead sitting behind it — office space in Surry Hills or North Sydney, an account manager, a project coordinator and a sales team all get costed into your quote before anyone writes a line of code.
That overhead buys you a meeting room. It does not make the website faster, rank better or convert more visitors — the freelancer vs agency comparison breaks down where the money actually goes. We work remotely from Melbourne, which is why our prices are published and start at $800.
Sydney is also the most crowded market for web designers in Australia, which is genuinely good news for you — you can compare our published prices against any quote you receive: it means you can compare several published quotes before committing. Ask every one of them for a fixed price in writing, and ask whether you own the code.
We are based in Melbourne and work with Sydney businesses remotely. That is worth stating plainly rather than implying an office we do not have. In practice it changes very little: you get a live staging link from the first week, calls whenever you want them, and the same fixed price a local agency would charge more for.
We work with businesses across Sydney CBD, Parramatta, North Sydney, Chatswood, Bondi, Surry Hills, Newtown, Manly, Liverpool, Penrith, Blacktown and Bankstown and the wider New South Wales metro area.
Also useful if you are comparing options: our fixed prices, web design Melbourne, what a website costs.
Our prices are published: $800 for a three to five page site, $1,900 for up to ten pages, $3,500 for unlimited pages, and $4,500 for e-commerce or an application. Sydney agencies commonly quote several times that for the same scope. Every quote is fixed in writing before work starts.
No. Build First Site is based in Melbourne and works with Sydney businesses remotely. We say that plainly rather than implying a local office. You get a live staging link from the first week and calls whenever you want them, and the price is lower than a local agency with premises to pay for.
Five to seven business days for a three to five page site, two to three weeks for up to ten pages, and 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 images, not development.
We build SEO into the site rather than selling it separately — semantic HTML, structured data, local schema and Google Business Profile setup are all included. 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.
Completely. You get the source code, the repository and the hosting account in your name. You can move to another developer at any time and nothing breaks. Several Australian agencies build on their own CMS and hosting, which means leaving them requires a rebuild — that is rarely disclosed upfront.
