A proper website on a small business budget, with no cut corners
Affordable web design in Ballarat shouldn’t mean a flimsy template or a site you can’t edit. My Single Page Website is $880 including GST and comes with the same care as every bigger build.
What you should still get when money is tight
A cheap website is one that costs little up front and a lot later. It might be a template that never quite fits, hosting you don’t control or a monthly fee that never ends. Some cheap offers lock you into a contract where you never actually own the website you paid for.
An affordable website is different. The price is low and fair, but you still get a site that works on phones, loads quickly, shows up on Google and belongs to you outright. That is what I aim for with every budget build.
I can keep prices down because I work alone with no sales team or flashy office to pay for. The savings go into your price, not into overheads.
The Single Page Website, built properly
The Single Page Website is my most affordable package. Here is what is included in the price.
About you, your services, the areas you cover and how to get in touch, laid out in clear sections.
Designed to look right and work smoothly on phones, tablets and desktop computers.
Enquiries sent straight to your email, plus a Google Map and a tap to call button.
Page title, description, headings and Google Analytics set up with the site submitted to Google.
Full access to WordPress and Elementor so you can change text and photos yourself.
Updates, backups and security checks handled for twelve months at no charge.
A smart first step for plenty of Ballarat businesses
Affordable web design in Ballarat is a good fit for sole traders, side businesses, new startups and anyone who just needs to look professional when people search their name. A mobile dog groomer in Sebastopol, a new cleaner covering Lucas and Alfredton or a tutor working from home in Mount Helen rarely needs ten pages to start.
It also suits businesses that have relied on a Facebook page and want a real website without a big jump in cost.
When the business grows, the one page site can be expanded into a Complete Website with a page for each service. You only pay the difference in work, not for a fresh start.
Simple choices that make your money go further
You can trim the cost of any website by having your words and photos ready, keeping to one round of changes and starting with the pages you really need. Phone photos taken in good light are often better than stock images because they show the real you.
Domain and hosting are separate costs, so I’ll point you to sensible options rather than expensive bundles. After the free year, you can choose a maintenance plan from $19 a month or look after updates yourself.
