Cost guide
How much does a tradie website cost in Australia?
Ask five web companies and you will get five numbers, most of them between $1,500 and $8,000. Here is what actually drives the price, what a trade business genuinely needs, and what it costs when the quote is fixed up front — from AUD $200.
- Fixed pricing
- No lock-in
- You own your site
- See it before you pay
- Australian-owned
What tradies are commonly quoted in 2026
Across Australian agencies and "tradie website" specialists, published guides and quotes typically land in these bands:
- DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace and friends): $25 to $60+ a month, forever — cheap to start, but you are renting, and after a couple of years you have paid more than a professional build.
- Budget template shops: $400 to $1,000 up front, often with monthly "care plans" attached.
- Tradie-specialist agencies: $1,500 to $3,500 is the range most quote for a standard trade site.
- Full agencies: $3,000 to $8,000+, built on hourly rates of $50 to $150.
None of those numbers reflect what a trade site technically requires. They reflect how the seller prices their time.
What a trade website actually needs
- Your services, spelt out the way customers search for them
- Photos of real jobs — the thing that wins quotes
- Licence and insurance details displayed properly
- A phone number that is one tap on mobile
- A quote or contact form that reaches you instantly
- Service-area pages so locals can find you
That is a handful of well-built pages. It is real work, but it is not $5,000 of work.

Frequently asked questions
How much should a tradie pay for a website?
For a straightforward trade site — services, photos of your work, licence details and a contact form — you should not need to pay more than a few hundred dollars. Our trade builds start at AUD $200 fixed. Agencies commonly quote $1,500 to $8,000 for the same core pages.
Why do agencies quote thousands for a tradie website?
Custom design hours, project management and agency overhead. An hourly designer at $50 to $150 an hour needs 20 to 60 hours for a small site, so the maths lands at $2,000 to $6,000 before extras. A fixed-price, streamlined build removes most of those hours.
Are there ongoing costs?
Only the ones you choose. Hosting and your domain are yours, in your name — typically a few dollars a month if you self-manage. If you would rather never touch hosting, our managed option is $40 a month. There are no forced monthly fees.
What add-ons do tradies actually buy?
The common ones: a quote or contact form from $25, basic SEO setup $50, Google Business Profile setup $50, and a simple logo $50. Bookings start at $100 if you take scheduled work.
How fast can it be live?
Most simple builds are completed once you have supplied your content and approvals — and you see and approve the finished site before you pay.
