Websites and SEO for small business
A proper website for $500
Designed, written and live in about a week. Then, if you want more customers from Google, SEO is $250 a month and we’ll run your Google Ads for free.
Plus GST. No lock-in. You own it.
What $500 gets you
Not a template you fight with on a Sunday night. A finished, fast, Google-ready site that we build for you.
A few photos and the basics about your business. Our short form walks you through it, and we write the words from there. No logo? We set your business name in a clean typeface.

Sites we’ve built this way
Working example sites for made-up businesses, built to the same scope and price as yours. Open one on your phone.
So how is it only $500?
Fair question. Here’s the straight answer.
We build on a system, not from scratch
Every site starts from a set of layouts we've already tested for speed, mobile and Google. We shape it around your business instead of reinventing the wheel and billing you for it.
No account managers, no fancy office
You deal with the people who build your site. There's no one in the middle marking up the price, and no rent on a glass tower in the CBD.
We earn our keep month to month
Some clients stay on for hosting and SEO. We only keep them if it's worth it, which is why there are no lock-in contracts. The cheap build is how we meet you. The results are why you'd stay.
From form to live in a week
No drawn-out discovery workshops. Here’s the whole process.
Day 1
You fill in a short form
Your business, your services, your logo and a few photos. Takes about 10 minutes. No form? We'll do it on a call or on WhatsApp.
Days 2 to 5
We build it
We design and write the pages, set up your contact form, connect Google, and handle the SEO basics.
Day 6
You check it
You get a preview link. Tell us what to change and we'll sort it in one round.
Day 7
It goes live
We launch it on your domain, submit it to Google and hand you the keys. It's yours.
Then, if you want more customers
Every site comes with 3 months of Care. After that, pick the plan that suits you, or just keep the hosting. Month to month, cancel any time.

How we compare

|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $500 + GST | Often $3,000 to $10,000 | Free to start, then your time |
| Time to launch | About a week | 4 to 12 weeks | However many weekends it takes |
| Who builds it | Us | Them, via an account manager | You |
| SEO set up properly | Yes, included | Usually an extra | Up to you |
| Lock-in contract | None | Often 12 to 24 months | Monthly subscription |
| You own the site | Yes | Sometimes | No, it lives on their platform |
Built for every kind of small business
Tradies, cafes, clinics, salons, consultants and everyone in between.
Is it really $500?
Yes. $500 + GST ($550 total) for a site of up to 5 pages, built and launched in about a week. The first 3 months of hosting are included. After that, hosting is $49 a month on the Care plan, or included in SEO plans. We write the words for you. There are no add-ons. If you need a shop or a bigger site, we'll say so and point you to ClickTheory, our sister studio.
What's the catch?
There isn't one, but there is a scope. You get up to 5 pages, one round of changes and a design built from our proven layouts. If you want a completely custom design with endless revisions, you want a traditional agency, and you'll pay agency prices.
Do I own my website?
Yes. The site, the content and the domain are yours. If you ever leave, we hand everything over. No hostage situations.
Do I have to sign up for SEO?
No. SEO is optional and month to month. Plenty of clients just want a good website. If you want more customers from Google later, you can add it any time.
Is Google Ads management really free?
On our Grow and Dominate SEO plans, yes, up to a monthly ad spend cap ($1,500 on Grow, $5,000 on Dominate). You pay Google directly for the clicks. We don't charge a management fee or mark up your spend.
Do you only work with Sydney businesses?
We're based on Sydney's North Shore, but we build sites for businesses all over Australia. Everything happens online, on the phone or on WhatsApp.
