Small Business Website Design Fixed price, live in weeks.

Good small business website design starts with what your customers need to find, then makes it easy for them to call, book or buy. It's not a template with your logo dropped in. Every small business website we build covers the same basics before anything fancy:

• A page for each service or product range, so Google can match you to specific searches instead of sending everyone to the home page.
• One clear next step on every page, whether that's a call, a quote form or a booking.
• Your contact details where people expect them, with tap to call on mobile.
• Real photos of your work, shop or team. Stock photos make you look like everyone else.
• Fast loading on a phone, because most visitors see your site on mobile data first.
• Structured data for Google and AI search, so tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers understand what you do and where.
• Tracking from day one, so you know which pages bring in enquiries.

We write the words too. You don't need to send a pile of copy. A short call and a look at your current site or Google Business Profile is usually enough to start.

A small business website from Source Digital costs $1,750 for a single page or $3,250 for a business site with 5 to 8 pages, a page per service. Both are ex GST and fixed before work starts, so the quote is the price.

On top of the build, hosting runs roughly $10 to $50 a month depending on the platform. If you sell online, a Shopify or custom store starts from $4,500, and Shopify's plan is paid to Shopify directly. If you want someone making changes each month, support starts from $200 a month, but plenty of small businesses never need it.

Pick the platform that matches how you'll run the site after launch. If you want to edit it yourself, Squarespace or Shopify. If speed and control matter most, custom. We're a Squarespace Gold Partner and also build on Shopify, WordPress and hand-coded HTML, so there's no reason for us to push one.

Most service businesses land on Squarespace or custom. Most product businesses land on Shopify. WordPress starts from $2,500 and makes sense when a plugin you rely on only exists there.

Go with one page if you sell a single service in a small area and most of your work comes from word of mouth. Go with the full business site if you want to be found on Google for more than one thing.

The reason is simple. Google ranks pages, not businesses. A cafe with a single page can rank for its own name. A bookkeeper with separate pages for BAS, payroll and tax returns can rank for each of those searches in their area. The $1,500 difference between the two builds is easy to win back if even a couple of those pages bring in work.

If you're unsure, start with one page. It can be expanded into a full site later as the business grows.

For most small businesses that get customers from Google, yes. For some, not yet, and it's better to say so up front.

A paid build probably isn't worth it if:

• You're still testing whether the business will work. A DIY Squarespace or Wix site will do for a few months.
• You're booked out months ahead from referrals and don't want more enquiries.
• Nobody searches for what you sell, and all your sales come through a marketplace or a market stall.

It is worth it when customers search for your service in your area, compare a few sites and pick one. In that moment a clear, fast site with real photos beats a slow template. A website also only pays off if someone answers the enquiries. MIT and InsideSales found leads contacted within 5 minutes were 21 times more likely to qualify than leads contacted at 30 minutes.

That's why we built Omega CS. It texts every new web form, Facebook and Instagram lead back in seconds from your own Australian mobile number, so enquiries don't sit in an inbox while you're busy.

1. A free 15 minute call. You tell me what you sell, who buys it and where.
2. A fixed price quote in writing. Pages, features, platform and timeline, before any work starts.
3. Research and writing. I check what your customers actually search, then write each page around those searches.
4. Design and build. You see the site working on a private link and tell me what to change.
5. Launch. Domain connected, tracking set up, Google Business Profile linked and enquiries going where you'll see them.

Most small business websites go live in 2 to 4 weeks. You deal with me the whole way through. No account managers and no outsourcing.

A few recent builds for small businesses:

• Mago Rods, a Perth custom fishing rod builder, moved off a generic Wix template to a hand-coded site. 9 pages, built in 2.5 weeks, with a 100 Lighthouse performance score.
• Cup Filling Care, a Perth specialty coffee window, got a custom HTML site with a Shopify Buy Button for beans and merch. 4 weeks from design to launch, 94 Lighthouse performance.
• Calabreeze, a Perth air conditioning, refrigeration, electrical and security contractor, had no website and no Google Business Profile. Their custom site uses 66 real job photos and has a CRM and AI SMS assistant behind every form.
