Year one, hosting included

A typical agency still charges a large build fee, then a monthly retainer. Standard BestCompare plans have no setup fee and no lock-in.

Typical agency

$15,000+

upfront, then often $500+/mo for hosting and care, plus $999+/mo for basic SEO

Starter

Growth

Year-one figures are 12 × the monthly price, in AUD. Your domain and content stay yours. Cancel a standard plan any month. Every BestCompare website is also built with SEO, local search, and AI search foundations from launch - no separate SEO package needed for the basics.

What to expect

From first message to a live site.

  1. Initial contact

    Tell me what you need. I’ll reply with a clear next step.

  2. Meeting & quote

    I walk through your business, the scope, and a fixed quote.

  3. Design sign-off

    You review the design and sign it off.

  4. Build

    I build the pages, forms, hosting, and SEO.

  5. Go live

    The site is live for your customers.

Starter and Growth sites typically go live in 2 weeks. Pro sites can go live in as little as 3 business days from design acceptance, assuming content and approvals are ready on time.

Not included in these plans

Custom booking systems, ecommerce, complex integrations, and large content migrations are quoted separately. If you need any of that, I can discuss it.

Prices are in Australian dollars. Starter, Growth, and Pro are monthly plans. Cancel any time unless I have agreed a custom contract.
