How much does a websitecost in Perth in 2026?
Straight numbers: a single-page landing site costs about $500, a small brochure site $800, a proper business website $1,500 to $2,500, an online store from $3,500, and custom web apps from $4,500 to well past $10,000. Those are our actual published prices, not industry averages — and this guide breaks down what moves the number, what keeps costing money after launch, and why two quotes for “the same site” can be $7,000 apart.
Most Perth small businesses should budget $1,500–$2,500 for a website that earns its keep, plus a few hundred dollars a year to run it — or from $99 a month with hosting and maintenance handled. Pay much less and you’re usually buying a template with your name dropped in; pay much more only when the scope genuinely demands it.
The honest version, in three brackets
$500 landing pages and $800 brochure sites stay lean: supplied content, simple structure, and clearly defined revision rounds.
Starter stores cover up to 20 products, standard checkout, basic shipping/tax rules, and order notifications.
MVP apps start with one core workflow. Portals, dashboards, roles, integrations, and admin tools scale from there.
All prices are starting prices based on defined scope. Landing pages start at $500, brochure sites at $800, ecommerce stores at $3,500, and web app starters at $4,500. Larger builds scale with pages, catalogue size, integrations, content volume, and custom functionality.
Every package, every price
| Package | Price | What it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Landing Page | $500 | One focused page for a new offer, campaign or simple service business. You supply the copy and images. |
| Brochure Site | $800 | Two to five straightforward pages — the essentials online, done properly. |
| Business Website | $1,500 | Up to six pages with conversion-focused structure, enquiry routing and analytics. Our most popular package. |
| Custom Website | $2,500 | Up to eight pages, custom sections, stronger SEO and a blog or CMS foundation. |
| Ecommerce Store | $3,500 | A practical storefront: up to 20 products, standard checkout, shipping and tax rules. |
| Web App Starter | $4,500 | An MVP web application built around one core workflow — portal, dashboard or tool. |
| Growth Build | $7,500 | Larger ecommerce, content or app builds with integrations and more moving parts. |
| Custom Platform | $10,000+ | Serious platforms, advanced stores, SaaS-style products and complex rebuilds, scoped by proposal. |
What actually moves the price?
Pages and layouts: a simple matching page adds about $100; a new custom layout is quoted separately. Features: online booking adds $400, payment gateways $600, client portals $1,000, AI chatbots $1,500. Content readiness matters more than people expect — entry prices assume you supply approved copy and images, and professional copywriting adds $500 if you’d rather hand us a rough doc.
Integrations move numbers too: connecting accounting software, CRMs or inventory starts around $1,000 because someone has to make two systems agree. And one most guides won’t tell you: legal, financial and medical websites usually carry a 15–20% surcharge, because compliance review, disclaimers and regulatory wording take real hours.
The ongoing costs nobody mentions
Domain
Roughly $20–$40 a year for a .com.au through any registrar. Yours, not your developer’s — make sure of it.
Hosting
From a few dollars to $50-plus a month depending on the build. Fast static hosting for business sites costs very little.
Maintenance
Optional but sensible: $79 a month covers hosting, SSL, monitoring and a content update. DIY is fine if you’ll actually do it.
Care plans
Active support runs $99–$299 a month depending on response times and included updates.
Third-party tools
Booking systems, email platforms and payment processing carry their own subscriptions and fees — budget for them honestly.
Changes
One-off updates from $75, a new matching page around $250. Sites that never change slowly stop ranking and converting.
Can you pay for a website monthly?
Yes — we offer every package as a subscription: $49 a month for a landing page, $99 for a business website, up to $499 for platform builds. We build, host and maintain the site while you pay monthly, you own it outright after a defined period (roughly twice the outright price, all-up), or buy it out early. Six-month minimum, then 30 days’ notice.
It costs more over the full term — that’s the trade for starting at $99 instead of $1,500. For a cashflow-tight launch it’s often the right call, and we’ll show you both totals side by side so you’re choosing with your eyes open.
Why do Perth website quotes vary so wildly?
Because you’re quoting three different products. A $300–$800 marketplace job typically gets you a template filled in offshore — fine until you need a change and the seller has vanished. Studios like us sit in the $500–$10,000 range doing custom work with the person you spoke to. Larger agencies quote $10,000–$50,000 for similar builds plus account managers, meetings and overhead you’re also paying for.
None of those are scams; they’re different cost structures. The question worth asking any quote: who actually does the work, and will they answer the phone in a year? Here, the person quoting is the person building — that’s most of why our overhead, and therefore our pricing, stays where it is.

Common questions
If you need one focused page, supply your own content, and want it done properly — yes, genuinely. It’s the same hand-coded quality as our larger builds, just tightly scoped. It’s not worth it if you actually need six pages and a booking system; underbuying costs more later.
Probably account management, meetings and overhead rather than more website. Compare quotes on scope — pages, features, revisions, who does the work — not the headline number. Sometimes the $8,000 quote is justified by scope; often it’s the same six pages with more people invoicing around them.
Prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST where applicable — standard for business services. Your written quote spells out the GST position before you commit, so the invoice never surprises you.
From $3,500 for a practical store with up to 20 products and standard checkout. Bigger catalogues, POS sync, subscriptions or custom product logic push into the $7,500 growth tier or platform territory. Product data readiness is the hidden cost — clean spreadsheets save real money.
Self-managed: roughly $60–$500 a year covering domain and hosting, depending on the build. Managed: $79 a month covers hosting, SSL, monitoring and a monthly content update. Add any third-party tools you choose — booking systems and email platforms bill separately.
Not inherently — they’re financing plus a service bundle, and over the term you pay roughly double the outright price in exchange for starting near-free with maintenance included. The rip-off version is the one where you never own anything; ours converts to full ownership on a defined schedule.
These are our actual published prices as of 2026, pulled from the same data that renders our pricing pages — not estimates of what “the market” charges. Other providers will differ, but you can hold us to every number on this page.
