How Much Does a Website for Bookkeepers Cost in Australia?

A published 2026 guide puts a small business website at $2,000–$6,000, while the same publisher lists $250–$750 a month for a micro business's bookkeeping package. For a bookkeeper or BAS agent, the cost of a site depends on whether you publish packages, how your registration and software are shown, and what your enquiry form asks. Here's what each does to the price, and what we charge.

A website priced against a month of bookkeeping

Bookkeepers increasingly sell fixed monthly packages rather than hours, so a monthly figure is a handy yardstick for a website quote. An independent Australian cost guide, last verified in October 2026, gives these bookkeeping fees before GST, and its web design guide gives the going rates for a business site:

Published 2026 ranges for bookkeeping fees and for websites
What's being bought	Published range
Monthly bookkeeping, micro business	$250–$750 a month
Monthly bookkeeping, established small business	$750–$1,500 a month
Monthly package with payroll and BAS	$1,000–$2,500 a month
Catch-up or rescue bookkeeping, one-off	$500–$3,000
Hourly bookkeeping	$45–$120 an hour
Small business website	$2,000–$6,000
Custom website build	$6,000–$15,000

On those figures, a website at market rates can equal several months of one small client's fees. Our bookkeeping websites cost $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. The three-page site costs the same as somewhere between one and four months of a micro business's published package fee. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added. If your practice is GST-registered, compare us with other quotes before their GST is added. There's no deposit either: you approve the finished draft, then pay.

The pages a bookkeeping practice usually needs

A business owner looking for a bookkeeper tends to ask three things in this order: do they work in my software, do they know businesses like mine, and roughly what will it cost each month? A good bookkeeping site answers those before the first phone call.

Pages on a bookkeeping website and when each earns its place
Page	What goes on it	Worth its own page when
Home	What you do, the software you use, your BAS agent number and how to get started	Always
Packages and prices	Monthly or quarterly packages with what each includes and a starting price	You sell fixed packages
Catch-up and clean-up work	Behind on BAS, a messy file, moving from desktop to cloud software, and how you quote it	Rescue jobs are a regular source of new clients
Industries you know	Builders, cafes, online shops, NDIS providers or medical practices, and what you handle for each	Most of your clients come from a few industries
About and registration	Your experience, memberships, TPB registration and who will do the work	Clients want to know who they're trusting with their books
Contact	An enquiry form, phone number and the areas you cover in person, if any	Usually folded into the home page

A sole bookkeeper can cover everything on one page for $399, with packages as a table and industries as a short list. Practices that sell packages and do catch-up work usually want three pages: a home page, a packages page and a page on catch-up work and the industries they serve, which is our $899 site. A practice with several bookkeepers, payroll as a separate service and five or six target industries usually lands on the $1,499 site.

Your BAS agent registration, shown where clients check

Providing BAS services for a fee, such as preparing or lodging a client's business activity statement, needs registration with the Tax Practitioners Board as a BAS agent or tax agent, and the TPB has been running a campaign urging businesses to check. Its campaign page talks about the risks of using unregistered BAS preparers and points businesses to the TPB Register. The TPB tells businesses they can confirm registration by searching the register or looking for the registered tax practitioner symbol.

On a website, that means:

your BAS agent number in the footer of every page, linked to the TPB Register so a prospective client can check it in one tap;
the registered tax practitioner symbol beside it, if you're eligible to use it, placed according to the TPB's guidelines;
service descriptions that match your registration. If you aren't registered, your site should describe the bookkeeping side only; the TPB publishes guidance on what counts as a BAS service.

None of that adds to the price. You send us your number and, if you use it, the symbol file from the TPB, and we place them. Our accountant website cost guide goes through the TPB's on-screen size and background rules for the symbol in detail. Questions about what your registration allows you to advertise go to the TPB or your professional body, not to us.

Package tables cost the same as any other page

Publishing starting prices is a business decision, and plenty of bookkeepers prefer to quote after seeing the file. If you already sell fixed packages, a table usually saves time: an owner who sees “quarterly BAS from…” and “monthly bookkeeping with payroll from…” knows whether you're in their range before they ring. A typical layout has three or four rows, with what each includes:

quarterly BAS only, for businesses that keep their own books;
monthly bookkeeping and reconciliations with quarterly BAS;
monthly bookkeeping with payroll and Single Touch Payroll reporting;
catch-up work, shown as “quoted after we see your file” rather than a figure.

On our sites a package table is text, so it costs no more than any other content. When your prices go up on 1 July, changing them is a text change on an existing page, and our $30 monthly hosting covers that. Two sites in our portfolio publish prices: Resolve Forward, a Sydney family law dispute resolution practice, lists priced packages that link straight to booking, and Simple Engineers, Adelaide structural engineers, show fee ranges inside their quote form.

Software names and partner listings

Many owners choose a bookkeeper by software first. Name every platform you work in, near the top of the home page, and say whether you take on moves from desktop software or between platforms. If you hold partner status or certification with a software company, the site can show it, within that company's rules for using its name and logos.

Xero's partner programme is a useful example of what's worth linking. Xero's status levels run from partner through bronze, silver and gold to platinum, its bronze to platinum tiers include a listing in the Xero advisor directory, and practices joining are asked to have at least one staff member commit to completing the Xero advisor certification within 30 days. If you have a directory listing, we link it from your site, and your site's address can go on the listing in return. Adding a new certification or a change in partner status later is an image and text change, covered by hosting.

An enquiry form that gives you a quote-ready brief

To quote a fixed monthly fee, you need a handful of facts, and the form can collect them in under a minute on a phone. A multi-step form, included in every package, might ask:

The type of business and its structure.
Which software it uses, if any.
How many staff are on the payroll.
Roughly how many transactions a month.
Whether BAS is up to date, and if not, how many quarters behind.

What the form shouldn't do is collect tax file numbers or bank statements. A website form reaches you as an email, and the TPB has published guidance suggesting practitioners consider more secure methods than email for TFNs. We leave those fields out, and the confirmation message can point new clients to your client portal or document-sharing tool for anything sensitive. If you'd like clients to book a discovery call, we link the scheduling tool you already use, such as Calendly, at no extra cost, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted per job.

Finance and professional services work we can point to

We built the website for Quang Luc Le's accounting firm, and the Google review from Quang Luc Le describes the experience as “…fantastic to work with on our accounting firm’s website. From day one, he was professional, responsive…”

We haven't yet built a site for a bookkeeping practice, but our professional services sites show the parts one needs. Simple Engineers' quote form takes file uploads alongside fee ranges. Resolve Forward has six service pages with FAQs and a five-step intake form, a close match for a practice that wants a short questionnaire before the first call. For a bookkeeper who also does tax work through an accountant partner, our page on websites for accountants covers the other half.

Running costs over two years

The independent web guide puts care plans at $50–$300 a month and total running costs after launch at $75–$400 a month. For sites we build, hosting is $30 a month after launch with no contract, covering hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. Your domain costs about $20 a year, registered in your name, and we set up your business email.

Two-year cost of a WebCraft Studio bookkeeping website
Cost	One page	Up to 3 pages	Up to 8 pages
Build, paid after you approve the draft	$399	$899	$1,499
Hosting, 24 months at $30	$720	$720	$720
Domain, two years at about $20	$40	$40	$40
Two years, about	$1,159	$1,659	$2,259

The edits bookkeepers usually need are new package prices each July, a new software certification, a changed industry list or an extra bookkeeper's profile. Those are text and image changes on existing pages, so they're covered. A new page, such as one for payroll as its own service, is quoted before we begin.

When a bookkeeping practice should spend more

A bigger budget with another provider is worth it if your practice:

wants its service descriptions, articles or newsletters written for it;
wants professional team photos;
needs a client portal, receipt upload system or onboarding flow built from scratch and connected to its practice software;
wants regular articles on tax and payroll changes published every month;
wants SEO or paid ads managed month to month.

Copywriting, photography, SEO retainers and ad management aren't services we offer. If you can send your own words, your packages and your registration details, the rest is straightforward. Our guides to small business website costs and monthly website plans against paying upfront cover the wider choices.

Bookkeeper website cost questions

How much does a website for a bookkeeper cost in Australia?

An independent 2026 guide puts a small business site at $2,000–$6,000 and a custom build at $6,000–$15,000. Ours are $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight, with no GST added and no deposit.

Can you link our BAS agent number to the TPB Register?

Yes. We put your number in the footer of every page with a link to the TPB Register, and add the registered tax practitioner symbol if you're eligible and send us the file. There's no extra charge.

Should we publish our package prices?

That's your call. If you already sell fixed packages, a table with starting prices and inclusions often saves an exchange of emails. It costs the same as any other page, and price changes are covered by hosting.

Can clients upload receipts or bank statements through the site?

We'd point them to your client portal or document tool instead, because website forms arrive as email. We link your portal from every page and keep TFN and bank statement fields out of the enquiry form.

Do you write the content for a bookkeeping website?

No. You supply the words, and we arrange and format them into the pages. If your practice doesn't have a logo yet, we'll help with one at no charge.

How quickly can a bookkeeping website go live?

Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks. Finishing the package wording is often what takes longest.
