Pricing

What a tradie website should cost in Sydney — and what you're paying for.

A fair Sydney tradie website in 2026 starts around $3,000 for a proper five-page commercial build and often lands between $3,000 and $12,000 when you add suburb pages, integrations, or custom quoting. Cheaper usually means templates, handoffs, and someone else owning your domain.

The $3,000 floor is not a "basic landing page"

At $3,000 you're paying for custom engineering: mobile performance, click-to-call, a quote form wired to your inbox, analytics you can read, and code you own.

Template shops can charge less because the same skeleton ships hundreds of times. I build one business at a time — that's why the price is higher than $800 Wix packages and lower than a six-figure agency retainer.

What pushes you toward $12,000

Dozens of suburb or service landing pages, CRM or booking integrations, multi-step quote configurators, e-commerce for parts, or bilingual content all add scope.

We agree what's in v1 before deposit. Phase two can wait — you don't have to buy everything on day one.

Ongoing costs (optional and honest)

Domain and hosting are real but modest on modern platforms. My optional Care plan ($120–$399/mo) is for when you want the same engineer doing security updates and small copy changes — not a hostage fee to keep your site online.

No mandatory monthly retainer on the one-off build. If one solid job covers the site, the maths works for most established trades — I walk through that on a 15-minute intro call.

Fixed quote. You own the site.

15-minute intro call, plain-English scope, written price before code. Same engineer from build to launch.
