What goes into the cost of a website?
The price of a website mostly comes down to four things:
- Size: a page for each service and suburb you want customers to find you for takes more design and writing.
- Features: quote forms are simple, while online booking, an AI assistant, payments or customer logins add setup and running costs.
- Content: writing good words and taking real photos is often the biggest hidden cost, whether you pay someone or do it yourself.
- After launch: hosting, security, updates and changes. Some options include these, others charge hourly.

The number of pages, features like online booking, shops or customer logins, whether you need the words written and photos taken, and whether you want someone to look after it after launch.
Not always. The cheapest option up front often costs more over a year once you count your time and paid add-ons. The better question is whether the website wins you more work than it costs.
