How much does a website cost in Melbourne?

If you’re a small business owner, one of the first questions is: how much should a website actually cost? The honest answer is that it depends on what you need, but here’s a plain-English guide.

What affects the price

The biggest factors are how many pages you need, whether you want extras like online bookings or a shop, and whether you’d like to update the site yourself.

Typical prices for small businesses

A one-page website, great for tradies and new businesses, usually starts around $500 - $1000.

A website with up to 5 pages (home, about, services, gallery, contact) usually starts around $1,500.

Online shops and booking systems add to the cost and are usually quoted separately.

Ongoing costs to know about

Every website has a few running costs: your domain name (usually under $30 a year), hosting (which sometimes can even be free on modern sites) and optional care plans for SEO, updates, SEO and changes.
