Simple, clear pricing

The website build is a one-off fee starting from $1,695, depending on how many pages you need. On top of that, hosting and management is $97/mo — that covers hosting, security, backups, and support from me. Things like your domain, professional email, and the AI editor are available depending on what your business needs. Full breakdown on the pricing page.

The core is always included: managed hosting, SSL, daily backups, 24/7 monitoring, security patches, and direct phone and email support from me. On top of that, depending on what your business needs, you get things like your own .com.au domain, professional email, enquiries forwarded to your phone, the AI editor, and a monthly report with your leads and rankings. Everyone pays the same $97/mo — what's switched on just depends on your setup. One bill, one bloke.

Yes — 100%. Your domain, your content, your images, every line of code. If you ever leave, I hand everything over within 48 hours. No questions, no fees, no hostage situations.

You cancel. That's it. No exit fees, no lock-in contracts. I'll even help you migrate to your next provider if you need a hand. You keep your domain, your files, your emails — everything.

Most clients start getting enquiries in the first 30–60 days. Andrew at Frosted Finish was getting 1–2 leads a week within 8 weeks — and his site paid for itself in under 2 months. Results depend on your trade, your area, and how competitive it is, but I'll always be straight with you about what to expect.

You don't touch any tech. I write the copy, build the site, handle the hosting, do the Google stuff. Need something changed? Text or call me and I sort it — usually the same day. No logins, no dashboards, no YouTube tutorials.

Yes — the AI editor lets you make changes in plain English. Tell it to update your prices, swap a photo, or change your hours and it's done in seconds. If you'd rather not, just tell me and I'll do it for you. Either way, it's included in the $97/mo.

Text or call me. Small changes — updating copy, swapping photos, adding a new service — are included in your monthly plan. If you want a whole new page, that's a flat $595. No mystery invoices.

On Hipages, you're renting leads — you pay per lead, compete with other tradies for the same job, and the moment you stop paying, the leads stop. Your website is leads you own forever. No lead fees, no competition on the same listing, and it works 24/7 whether you're paying attention or not.

A $500 freelancer gives you a template and disappears. A $5k agency charges you for offices, account managers, and layers of people between you and the work. With me, you get a custom site built by the same person who answers the phone when something breaks — at a fair price, with no lock-in.

Word of mouth is brilliant — and a website makes it work harder. When someone recommends you, the first thing their mate does is Google your name. If they don't find a website, they often call whoever shows up instead. You never hear about the jobs you lost this way.

Your nephew's a great kid. But does he know how to get you ranking for "emergency plumber in Hornsby"? Will he answer the phone in six months when the contact form breaks? A website that looks nice but doesn't generate leads is a hobby project. This is a business tool.
