Frequently asked questions

Good questions. Straight answers.

How much does a website cost?

Funnels start from $1,200 and full SEO-optimised websites from $2,000. Your quote depends on the scope, content and functionality you need. Payment plans are available.

What's included in my project?

Strategy, copy guidance, design, build, mobile optimisation, on-page SEO setup, form and tracking setup, and launch support. Everything is confirmed in your scope before we start.

How long does a website take to build?

Most service business websites are complete within 3 to 4 weeks from content sign-off. We move fast because we have a clear process, and we are not waiting on page builders to load.

What's the difference between an SEO website and a funnel?

An SEO website is a multi-page site designed to rank in Google and educate visitors across multiple service pages. A funnel (or landing page) is a single focused page built for paid traffic: one goal, no navigation. We build both, but they're separate services. See our Funnels & Landing Pages page for details on the funnel side.

Which should I use for Google Ads: a website or a funnel?

For Google Ads, a dedicated single-page funnel almost always outperforms a homepage. We build these as separate, focused projects. You can see pricing and details on our dedicated Funnels & Landing Pages page. Most growing businesses end up with both: an SEO site for organic traffic and funnels for paid campaigns.

Do I need to provide copy and images?

We'll work with what you have and give you clear direction on what we need. For copy, we provide a content brief that guides you through what to write for each page, or we can write it for you (additional cost). For images, we can use provided photos, stock imagery, or advise on a local photographer.

Can you redesign my existing WordPress site?

Yes, and we'd typically recommend a full rebuild rather than a redesign within WordPress. A rebuild on Astro gives you dramatically better performance, security and SEO. We handle the migration of all content and preserve existing URLs with 301 redirects so you don't lose rankings.

Who hosts the site and what does it cost?

We deploy to Vercel, which hosts static sites on a global CDN for free (or very low cost for high-traffic sites). All packages include 12 months of hosting. After that, most sites sit comfortably on Vercel's free tier: a significant saving over traditional WordPress hosting.

Will my website rank on Google?

We build SEO into every website from day one: keyword-targeted page titles, optimised meta descriptions, suburb pages, fast load times, structured data markup, and Google Search Console setup. You will be starting from a much stronger position than a typical template build.

Will my site work with Google Ads and Local SEO?

Yes, that's a core part of how we build. Every site is structured for local search from the first line of code, with proper schema, localised landing pages and conversion tracking that feeds data back to Google Ads. If you're running Ads or SEO with us, we make sure the site and the campaigns are fully integrated.

Can I update the website myself after it is built?

Yes. We build with a simple CMS or structured content approach that lets you edit text, add images and create new pages without a developer. For clients who prefer to hand all changes to us, we offer a monthly support retainer.

What happens after launch?

We check everything is working, hand over access, and walk you through your options for hosting, updates and ongoing support.

Do I need ongoing marketing?

Not to start. Many clients launch the website first, then add local SEO, Google Ads or follow-up automation when they're ready.
