- Your words, as you wrote them
- Your photos of your work
- Your reviews and testimonials
- Your forms, booking links and phone numbers
- Your questions and answers
Going live is two records
We change two records at your domain host. Not your nameservers and not your email, and we never ask for a password. Your old site stays where it is, so going back means changing the same two records. See how.
How it works
A website has two jobs
Be found. When someone searches for what you do in your suburb, on Google or by asking an AI assistant, your name should be one they see.
Be easy once they arrive. People want your number, a booking, a form or an answer. We put it where they look first, on a site that loads fast on a phone.
After more than 15 years developing websites and complex software and AI products, the team at Fresh Site takes care of the technical side, and explains anything you'd like to know in plain English.
Pricing
Projects from AUD 1,500
From AUD 1,500, fixed before we start. No deposit. You pay when it's live.
Your site goes live on your domain and you pay nothing for the first 7 days, so you see it working before the invoice is due. If you decide not to pay, we take it down and your domain can point back to your old site.
Want more people to find you? The "Boost your website" pack is an add-on: a set of articles written for the searches your customers type (when someone types "plumbers near me" or "hairdressers in Sydney" into Google, does your name show up?).
-
Every screen size
It reads properly on a phone, a tablet, a laptop and a big monitor, without pinching or zooming.
-
Hosting and care, first year included
Your site is hosted and looked after by us. That's part of the package: you don't need an account anywhere or anyone technical on your side. After the first year it's AUD 25 a month, billed yearly (AUD 300 a year), and we'll email you before it renews. Care plus is optional at AUD 99 a month: hosting, an hour of changes and a monthly search report.
-
Search optimisation, including page‑load speed
Built so Google can read it and rank it, and so every page loads fast, because slow pages lose visitors and rank lower.

Your domain and content stay yours.
How much does web design cost?
It depends on what you need. Most sites run from about a thousand dollars for a very basic site to ten thousand or more for custom development.
Our projects start from AUD 1,500. We offer competitive rates and real value: our experience goes into every site, so it brings in traffic and turns visitors into leads.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the site and how quickly the words and photos come together. We agree a timeline with you before we start, and you'll see the site take shape as we go.
Do I need to supply the content?
Send what you have: the wording from your current site, a few notes about the business, any photos of your work. We'll shape it into pages and show you everything before it goes live. If you don't have photos, we can provide images for the site.
Can you fix my existing site?
Yes. If your current site looks old, loads slowly or is hard to use on a phone, we can rebuild it on a modern design, keeping the wording and pages that still work for you and replacing what doesn't.
What are SEO and AI visibility?
SEO, or search engine optimisation, is the work that helps Google understand your site and show it to people searching for what you do, where you do it.
AI visibility is the same idea for AI assistants like ChatGPT. More people now ask an assistant for a recommendation, and it can only recommend a business it has clear, accurate information about.
Where is my site hosted?
Your site is hosted and looked after by us. That's part of the package: you don't need an account anywhere or anyone technical on your side.
The first year of hosting and care is included. After that it's AUD 25 a month, billed yearly (AUD 300 a year), and we'll email you a reminder before it renews. If your phone number or email changes, just let us know.
What do I own?
Your domain, your content, your photographs and your words are yours, and you can take them anywhere. The code the site is built on stays ours. If you ever leave, we send your content back to you and help point your domain wherever you like.
When do I pay?
Nothing up front. Your site goes live on your domain and you pay nothing for the first 7 days, counted from the start of business on the day after you say yes. Then the invoice is due.
If you decide not to pay it, that's fine: we take the site down and your domain can point back to your old site.
Small changes in that week are AUD 100 an hour, added to the invoice. Honestly, we don't think the site needs them, and we'd rather you spent the time on your business and your Google reviews.
You also have 10 business days after you agree to cancel for any reason, which is your right under the Australian Consumer Law.
Can you help more people find me?
Yes. The "Boost your website" pack is an add-on: a set of articles written for the searches your customers type. In plain terms, when someone types "plumbers near me" or "hairdressers in Sydney" into Google, does your name show up?
