Small Business Website Cost by State: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Beyond

January 26, 2026 8 min read By Salem, WebCraft Studio

If you’re looking for a small business website in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, or anywhere else in Australia, you probably want to know what it will cost. Prices can vary by agency and by project size, but you don’t need to be in a capital city to get a clear, fair quote. Here’s what to expect and how to get a quote that fits your location and budget. Below we cover why cost depends on scope not just location, what's usually included, typical ranges, how to get comparable quotes, and how to get a quote wherever you are.

Cost Depends on Scope, Not Just Location

Website cost is driven mainly by the number of pages, features, and level of customisation—not by which state you’re in. Many Australian web design teams (including us) work remotely, so businesses in regional NSW, Victoria, Queensland, WA, SA, Tasmania, or the NT can get the same quality and pricing as those in the CBD. What matters is defining what you need: a simple few-page site, a larger site with more sections, or extra functionality like forms or booking.

Remote delivery nationwide

Many Australian web designers (including us) work remotely. So whether you're in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, regional NSW, Victoria, Queensland, WA, SA, Tasmania, or the NT, you can get the same quality and pricing. You don't need a "local" agency in your city—just a clear brief and a written quote. For a full breakdown of what drives cost, see how much does a small business website cost.

What's Usually Included in a Quote

When comparing website quotes, check what's in scope. A good quote will itemise the main deliverables so you can compare like with like.

  • Pages and structure—Number of pages, homepage layout, inner pages (e.g. Services, About, Contact).
  • Design—Custom design vs template, revisions included.
  • Content—Who writes the copy (you or the designer), image sourcing.
  • Functionality—Forms, contact details, booking, e-commerce (if any).
  • Hosting and support—First year included? Ongoing costs? Updates and backups.

Typical Ranges for Small Business Sites

A simple one-page or small multi-page website often starts in the hundreds of dollars. Larger sites with more pages, custom design, or specific features sit in the low to mid thousands. Getting a written quote that itemises pages and inclusions helps you compare options and avoid hidden costs. Ask about hosting, updates, and support so you know the full picture.

Getting comparable quotes

Send the same brief to two or three providers: number of pages, key features, and any must-haves. Ask for a written quote that lists pages and inclusions. That way you compare scope and value, not just the bottom line. Check our pricing page for transparent starting points and then submit a project request for a tailored quote.

Getting a Quote Wherever You Are

You don’t have to hunt for a “local” agency in your city or town. Wherever you are in Australia, you can request a quote online. Submit your requirements through a project request form and you’ll get a clear quote and timeline. That way you can compare options and choose what works for your business and budget.
