Pages and content
A few service pages need a different scope from a large catalogue. Existing copy, photography and brand assets also affect how much preparation is needed.
Straightforward pricing
Know what you're paying for.
Small websites and complex software projects need different amounts of work. I'll look at your requirements and provide a written quote explaining what's included.
Prices and care packages are being finalised for launch. Any prices sent in a proposal will identify their GST treatment, inclusions and ongoing costs.

What affects the price?
The most useful starting point is what your business needs the project to do. These four areas help turn an idea into a scope that can be quoted.
What customers can do
Bookings, payments, accounts and online ordering introduce workflows that need to be designed, connected and tested.
Existing systems and data
Moving content or records, connecting software and keeping an existing service running can add work beyond the visible screens.
Support after launch
Hosting, licences, updates, backups and content changes need their own allowances. Ask which costs are recurring and which are optional.
Compare with confidence
Look beyond the headline price.
A useful proposal makes it clear what you receive, what you need to supply and what happens after launch.
Use the checklist when comparing options, including proposals from other providers.

Before you enquire
Common project questions.
Clear answers to help you prepare, even if this is your first website or software project.
Can I get a price before writing a technical specification?
Start with the outcome you need, who will use the site or system, and one example of how it should work. The Project Builder helps organise that information. A reliable quote still needs an agreed scope; a questionnaire submission is not a fixed-price offer.
What should I prepare for a website quote?
Bring a rough page list, your existing website address if you have one, any available logo and content, and the main action visitors should take. Mention bookings, payments or connections to other software early. It is fine to mark uncertain items as “not sure”.
Can a project be built in stages?
A useful first step is to separate what the business needs at launch from what can wait. Staging can make sense when the first release works independently. Dependencies, later changes and the cost of each stage should be discussed before choosing that approach.
Are hosting and third-party subscriptions included?
That depends on the agreed proposal. Ask for hosting, domain renewals, software licences, payment-provider fees and ongoing support to be identified separately, including who pays each provider. Do not assume an initial development price covers these costs.
What if the requirements change?
Describe the change and ask how it affects the agreed scope, price and delivery plan before proceeding. A proposal should explain the process for reviewing and approving additional work.
How long will my project take?
Timing depends on the scope, content readiness, integrations and review availability. Bring any real deadline to the first discussion so the necessary work can be assessed against it. A delivery date needs to be agreed for the specific project.
