A professional small-business website in Australia typically costs from about A$2,000 for a fixed-price brochure site to A$10,000 or more for custom sites with booking, e-commerce or integrations, plus A$20 to A$80 a month for hosting. ExIQ Web’s packages are A$1,995, A$5,950 and A$14,950.
The four ways to get a website
There are four common routes, and they differ as much in time and risk as in price.
- DIY website builders: the lowest cash cost, but you pay in your own hours, and results depend on your design and copywriting skills.
- Freelancers: flexible and often affordable, but quality and availability vary, and ongoing support can be hard to guarantee.
- Traditional agencies: strong custom work, usually quoted per project after a discovery phase, with longer timelines.
- Fixed-price studios like ExIQ Web: set packages with clear inclusions, built on proven components and AI-accelerated production, so you get agency-grade work at a known price.
What drives the price
The number of pages matters less than what the site needs to do. These are the biggest cost drivers:
- Custom design versus a proven design system
- Copywriting and photography
- Booking, e-commerce, member areas or portals
- Integrations with CRM, ERP or practice software
- Multilingual content
- Advanced animation and interactive features
Ongoing costs to budget for
A website is not a one-off purchase. Budget for these every year:
- Domain name: usually A$20 to A$40 a year.
- Hosting: A$20 a month for a fast brochure site, more for sites with a content editor, booking, a shop or AI features.
- Care and updates: security updates, backups and small changes, commonly A$99 to A$249 a month.
- Search visibility: optional ongoing SEO, GEO and AIO work if you want to grow traffic.

How to avoid paying twice
The most expensive website is the one you replace within two years. Before you buy, check that the site will be fast on mobile, that you will own the domain and content, that it is built to be found by search engines and AI assistants, and that the price covers everything you need to launch.
