How much does a website cost on the Sunshine Coast?
A business website is priced on the time it takes to plan, design, build and fill it, so the cost depends on how many pages you need, what the site has to do and who writes the content. The only reliable figure is a quote based on your own brief.
It is the first question almost everyone asks us, and the honest answer is that it depends on the job. A five-page site for a sole trader and an online shop with hundreds of products are different pieces of work, and a price that ignores that difference is a guess.
What sets the price
We price websites on the hours it takes to produce them. The things that move that number most are:
- How many pages and page types the site needs
- Whether it sells online, takes bookings or connects to other systems
- Who writes the copy and supplies the photos
- How much SEO groundwork goes in before launch
- Whether you want to edit the site yourself through a content management system
What you should get for the money
Whatever the budget, a business website should load quickly, work properly on phones, be built to Google's Core Web Vitals guidance and be easy for you to update. If a quote does not mention those things, ask why.
Comparing quotes
Cheap quotes often leave out the parts that make a site earn its keep: content, SEO set-up, hosting and support after launch. When you compare prices, check what is included, who owns the site at the end, and what happens if something breaks six months later.
Getting a figure for your project
The quickest way to a real number is a short call. We will ask what the site needs to do, look at what you have now and come back with a detailed quote. Get in touch to discuss your project.
Frequently asked questions
We work out the hours your project needs and quote you a price for it before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Talk to us about it when we quote. We would rather find a way to make the project work than have you settle for a site that does not do the job.
