Three ways to work on a website.
A new build, a rebuild of the site you have, or a fixed set of improvements. Quoted in writing before anything starts.
Every site here was built by the same person who answers the phone afterwards.
The three options
A new website
Built from scratch on your own domain. You see a free concept of your actual site before anything is payable. Approve it and the build is billed in two halves.
From $6,000 + GST. Larger scopes are quoted in writing. This suits a firm with no usable site and enough time to supply content and approve the work properly.
What you receive
- A custom build, not a template
- Your domain and code, owned outright
- Search foundations built in
- No retainer required afterwards
Most people will meet your business on a phone, so that is where the build starts.
A rebuild
The same build from a different starting point. Your pages are redirected to their new addresses, so the search standing you already have comes with you.
Usually a site on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace that has become slow, hard to change, or impossible to hand to anyone else. Rebuilds use the same pricing basis as new builds.
Improvements
Fixed work on a site worth keeping: speed, enquiry forms, page structure, accessibility. A short review first, then a written scope before anything begins.
From $1,500 + GST. No hourly rate. Where something cannot be scoped from the review, discovery is quoted separately. Anything larger than a fix list is a rebuild.
How a build runs
Improvements skip the concept and start at the written scope.

I will read it properly and tell you which of the three fits, including when the answer is none of them.
