How much does a website cost?

Prices start from $300 for a simple 1-3 page site and range up to $2,500 for a full multi-page custom build. Every quote is tailored to your specific needs during a free discovery call.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most sites are delivered within 2-3 weeks. A simple landing page can be ready in as little as 1 week, while larger projects take 3-4 weeks depending on complexity.

Do you build e-commerce websites?

Yes. I build e-commerce sites using modern platforms integrated with Next.js. I can set up product listings, payments, inventory management, and everything you need to sell online.

Do you offer ongoing support after the site is live?

Absolutely. Every package includes post-launch support — 30 days for the Growth plan and 90 days for the Premium plan. I also offer ongoing maintenance packages.

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in Gladstone, QLD, but I work with clients all across Australia. Everything is done remotely via video calls, email, and a shared project board.

What technologies do you use to build websites?

I build websites with Next.js, React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. This stack delivers fast, SEO-friendly, and highly maintainable sites that small businesses can easily update.
