Compare the options

Which package fits your business?

Every business is different, so these are starting points rather than fixed boxes. Here is the honest, side-by-side view — what each option includes, what it does not, and who it suits.

Getting online properly for the first time

If you have been running on a Facebook page, a one-page site or nothing at all, the Three-page starter covers the essentials, done well.

Several services or suburbs to win work in

If one page cannot do your business justice, the Local business website gives each service and area room to be found.

Your site is fine — staying found is the problem

You may not need a build at all. A care plan keeps it healthy; Care + Local SEO actively works on getting you found.

What every build includes

  • A homepage concept designed up front — see it before you commit
  • Copywriting written for your customers, not filler text
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading, accessible design
  • An enquiry or quote form that reaches you reliably
  • Search & AI-answer foundations set up at launch
  • A clean launch and handover

What’s not included (and why)

  • Domain registration & renewal — kept in your name, so you own it
  • Professional photography or premium stock imagery
  • Third-party subscriptions (e.g. booking or payment tools)
  • Ongoing hosting & maintenance — covered by a care plan, or handed over
  • Paid advertising or social media management

Any third-party costs are flagged in your proposal before work begins — no surprise line items.

Ownership & hosting

What you own, and where it lives.

Your website is yours

  • The content, copy and design are yours to keep
  • Built on standard, portable web technology — if you ever move on, the site can come with you
  • Your domain name stays registered in your name
  • No hostage-holding: a care plan is something you stay on because it’s worth it, not because you’re locked in

Fast, secure hosting

  • Sites run on Cloudflare’s global network — fast for local visitors, with a free SSL certificate
  • Managed hosting, backups, updates and security monitoring are included with every care plan
  • Prefer to host it yourself after launch? We hand everything over cleanly
  • No ads, no bloat, and your data is never resold

How it works

A simple, five-step build.

Chat & quote

You tell us about the business, your services and your area. We send a clear, fixed-scope quote — no pressure and no jargon.

Homepage concept

We design your homepage up front. See it, love it, then pay your deposit to begin. You’re never committing to something unseen.

Build & copy

We build your pages and write the copy, keeping you updated along the way.

Your review

You review the site and we refine it together until it’s right.

Launch & handover

We launch, hand everything over, and — if you’re on a care plan — keep it secure, current and improving.

Typical timing: a Three-page starter is usually ready in around 2 weeks, and a Local business website in around 3–4 weeks, measured from your deposit and homepage sign-off. The biggest factor is how quickly content and feedback come back — we’ll always tell you what we need and when.

Questions

Packages, answered.

How much does a small-business website cost in South East Queensland?

Most local service businesses land between roughly $1,500 for a focused three-page starter and $2,800+ for a multi-page local business website. The range reflects how many pages and services you need, how much copywriting is involved, and how much local-search groundwork goes in. You can also get a tailored figure from the instant estimator.

What’s included in a care plan?

Every care plan covers managed hosting, software and security updates, backups, monitoring and small content changes. Higher tiers add active work — Google Business Profile management, monthly on-page improvements, fresh pages, and AI-visibility tracking. See the care-plan comparison above.

Do I own my website?

Yes. When your build is complete, the content, copy and design are yours, and your domain stays in your name. It’s built on portable technology, so it can move with you if you ever choose to leave.

How long does a build take?

A three-page starter is typically ready in around 2 weeks, and a local business website in around 3–4 weeks, from your deposit and homepage sign-off — depending on how quickly content and feedback come back.

Can I start small and upgrade later?

Absolutely. Many businesses begin with the three-page starter, add service or location pages as they grow, then move onto a care plan once they’re live. You’re never pushed into a bigger package than the job needs.

What’s the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO helps you appear in Google’s normal results, AEO in the direct answer boxes, and GEO in AI assistants like ChatGPT and Google’s AI overviews. Our builds cover the foundations of all three; the higher care tiers keep working on them each month. There’s more on our Local SEO foundations page.

Useful add-ons

Only add what earns its place.

These can be scoped with a build or added later. You will never be pushed into a bundle of services your business does not need.

Local visibility setup

Google Business Profile guidance, review request copy and a practical local content plan.

Extra service pages

Useful, specific pages for priority services — written for customers first, and for search engines and AI answers second.

AI admin starter

Tailored prompts and templates for common enquiries, review replies and repetitive business writing.
