How Much Does a Website for Mortgage Brokers Cost in Australia?

A published 2026 guide puts a five-to-ten-page business site at $2,000–$6,000, which is about what a lender pays a broker upfront on a single $700,000 home loan. What moves the price of a broker's site is less the design than the credit rules around it: licence wording, rates, calculators and where documents go. Here's how each one plays out, and what we charge.

The website, measured in settled loans

A national web design price guide, last verified in November 2026, lists $800–$3,000 for a landing page, $2,000–$6,000 for a small business site of five to ten pages and $6,000–$15,000 for a custom build. Sites tied into bookings, member areas or a CRM sit at $15,000–$40,000. It also notes that quotes for the same website can range from $1,500 to $25,000, and that fixed quotes usually ask for a 30–50% deposit.

Brokers have an unusually tidy way to weigh those numbers. The MFAA's consumer site says upfront commission is usually between 0.65% and 0.70% of the drawn loan amount, excluding GST, and trail is generally 0.15% of the outstanding balance, paid monthly for the life of the loan. Its own worked example, a $700,000 loan at 0.65%, comes to $4,550 upfront. So the guide's small business range runs from under half of one settled loan to a little over one, while a custom build can take two or three.

Our websites for brokers cost $399 for one page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. We aren't registered for GST, so the price is the price, and there is no deposit: you see the finished draft, ask for changes, and pay once you approve it. Mozo, citing MFAA data compiled by Cotality, reports that a record 81% of new residential home loans were settled through a broker in the March 2026 quarter, so borrowers looking for a broker have plenty to compare. What sets your site apart is mostly what you write on it, not what it cost.

Licence details: small text, fixed rules

Section 52 of the National Consumer Credit Protection Act sets out the obligation to cite an Australian credit licence number. Aggregators turn that into house wording for their credit representatives. Connective's advertising guide, for example, says an advertisement that fails to cite the licensee's ACL number breaches section 52, and suggests a line in the form of the business name and credit representative number, followed by the licence it is authorised under.

On a website, that means the right line in the footer of every page, and again on each broker's profile if you have several. Moneysmart tells borrowers to check on ASIC's Professional Registers that a broker is licensed or is a licensee's representative, so the numbers on your site should match the register digit for digit. This costs nothing extra on our sites: you send the wording your licensee gives you, and we use it as supplied.

The real cost is time. Most aggregators want to review advertising before it goes live; Connective says material must be reviewed and approved before publication. Because we build the whole draft before you pay anything, your compliance team can review the actual pages, not a mock-up, and any wording they change is part of the normal rounds of revisions rather than a variation on the quote.

Rates, calculators and the words to leave out

These three decisions change both the build and the upkeep of a broker site, so settle them before asking for quotes.

Interest rates

ASIC's summary of Part 10 of the National Credit Code says a comparison rate must be included when fixed-term credit for personal, domestic or household purposes is advertised. Connective's guide adds that a rate shown without the comparison rate warning breaches section 163, and that warnings must be as large and prominent as the main content. A page of headline rates therefore needs a comparison rate and warning beside every figure, plus someone checking it each time lenders reprice. Many brokers simply leave rates off the site and talk about loan types instead. If you do publish them, changing figures on an existing page is a text change our hosting covers, but the compliance check is yours.

Calculators

A link to Moneysmart's free mortgage calculator costs nothing and never shows a stale rate. A calculator built into your own site, where visitors type in their own rate and loan amount, is a feature we quote before starting. A calculator that pulls live lender rates is integration work at the top of the market's range, and few small brokerages need one.

Independent, impartial, unbiased

Section 160B of the Act restricts the use of “independent”, “impartial” or “unbiased” and similar words, and Connective's guide separately warns that “independent” can mislead if it isn't strictly accurate and defensible. For a broker paid commission by lenders, the safe course is to leave these words out of your copy unless your licensee has cleared them, and we flag them if they appear in what you send. Your licensee has the final say on wording; ASIC's Regulatory Guide 234 is the official reference on advertising credit.

From a website visit to a fact-find

A borrower's first step is usually a short conversation, and the website's job is to make that easy to arrange. There are three ways to do it, priced differently:

  1. A call-back form asking for the loan purpose (first home, refinance, investment), rough timing and the best time to ring. Included in every package, with each enquiry emailed to the address you choose.
  2. A “Book a call” button that opens the calendar tool you already use, such as Calendly, on every page. Also included: we connect the link and your diary stays where it is.
  3. A booking and payment system built into the site, for brokers who charge a fee for certain work and want clients to book and pay a deposit in one step. We build these and quote each one once we know how your appointments run.

Documents are a different matter. Payslips, bank statements and identification belong in the secure fact-find or document portal your aggregator or CRM provides, not in a website form that arrives as email. We put a clear button to that portal in the header, labelled the way your clients know it, and keep the call-back form to a name, a phone number and what the loan is for. That keeps the website's cost separate from your broker software, and the sensitive files out of your inbox.

The other question to answer on the site is the one Moneysmart lists for borrowers to ask: how are you paid, and does it differ between lenders? A plain paragraph on upfront and trail commission, any fee you charge, and a link to your Credit Guide covers it. It's a block of text, so it doesn't change the price.

How many pages a broker actually needs

Typical broker website set-ups and the package each fits
Set-upPagesOur price
Solo broker, new credit representativeOne page: who you help, loan types as headings, how you're paid, licence line, call-back form and booking button$399
Established solo broker or a two-broker partnershipHome; how we work and get paid; loan types (first home, refinance, investment, construction)$899
Brokerage with several brokers or a commercial and asset finance sideHome, a page per loan type or client group, broker profiles, how you're paid, contact$1,499

The three-page site is where most brokers land. It keeps the commission explanation and Credit Guide link on their own page, where borrowers who care about it will look, and leaves the home page free for who you help and how to start. If you also write commercial loans or equipment finance, those borrowers are usually business owners with different questions, and a separate page for them is one of the more common reasons a broker moves up to eight pages.

Proof we can point to

We haven't yet built a site for a mortgage broker, and we won't pretend otherwise. The closest work in our portfolio is in professional services. Resolve Forward, a Sydney family law dispute resolution practice, has priced packages linked to an online bookings page and a five-step intake form, which is the same pattern as a broker's discovery call and fact-find. Dr Tabara Dione Coaching in Melbourne has online discovery-call booking linked from every page. We also built the website for Quang Luc Le's accounting firm.

Resolve Forward's Google review describes the result in part as “a sleek, professional website for www.resolveforward.com.au with an intuitive and easy-to-use bookings page.” If you'd like to see the pattern working before you commit, that site is a good place to start.

Running costs after launch

The same price guide puts website care plans at $50–$300 a month. Our hosting for sites we build is $30 a month after launch, with no contract, covering security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. Your domain is about $20 a year, registered in your name, and we set up your business email.

The changes brokers ask for tend to be small and frequent: a new broker's profile, a changed aggregator or licence line, a revised fee, an updated Credit Guide link. All of those are text or image changes on existing pages, so they're covered. A new page, for a loan type you've started writing, is quoted first.

First year, about$779$1,279$1,879

On the MFAA's figures, a year's trail on a $700,000 balance at 0.15% is roughly $1,050 before the balance starts to fall, which is in the same range as the first year of the three-page site.

When a bigger budget makes sense

Paying an agency more is the sensible choice if your brokerage:

  • wants its loan-type pages, articles and newsletters written for it rather than supplying its own words;
  • wants professional portraits of each broker and the office;
  • needs live rate tables, lender comparison tools or a client portal tied into its CRM;
  • wants paid search, lead-generation campaigns and SEO run month to month by the people who built the site.

We don't sell copywriting, photography, SEO retainers or ads, and we don't promise leads. If you can send your words, a headshot and your licence wording, much of what a larger quote pays for is work you've already done. Our guides to small business website costs and the hidden costs of a cheap website cover the wider choices.

Mortgage broker website cost questions

How much does a mortgage broker website cost in Australia?

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

Where does our ACL or credit representative number go?

In the footer of every page, and on each broker's profile if you have several. Use the exact wording your licensee or aggregator gives you; we place it as supplied so it matches ASIC's Professional Registers.

Can our aggregator's compliance team check the site before launch?

Yes. We build the full draft before you pay, so compliance can review the real pages. Their changes are part of the normal revisions, and you pay once you approve the final version.

Can borrowers book a call or upload documents through the site?

We link the calendar tool you already use from every page at no extra cost, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted per job. Documents go to your aggregator's or CRM's secure fact-find portal, which we link from the header.

Should we show interest rates on our website?

That's a call for you and your licensee. Advertised rates on fixed-term consumer credit bring comparison rate and warning requirements, and rates change often. Many brokers describe loan types instead and link to Moneysmart's calculator.

How long does a broker website take?

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. Allow extra time for your aggregator's approval if it reviews advertising before publication.
