Fixed-price, hand-coded websites for businesses between the Hawkesbury River and Lake Macquarie: Tuggerah and Wyong, The Entrance and Long Jetty, Toukley, Budgewoi and the northern lakes, the new estates around Warnervale, and Erina, Terrigal and Woy Woy in the south. Our Adelaide team builds each one with you by phone and email.
A business on the Coast can be serving three quite different customers in the same week: a young family who has just moved into Woongarrah and doesn't know anyone yet, a retiree in Toukley comparing two quotes on a tablet, and a Sydney couple booking a weekend at The Entrance. The searches this page answers, from affordable web design to ecommerce, mostly come down to the jobs below, and here's what we offer for each.
Our small business websites cost $399 for a single page, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. We aren't registered for GST, so nothing gets added at the end, and we don't ask for a deposit: the draft is built first and you pay once you've approved it. A sole trader in Gorokan works from the same price list as a practice in Erina.
Every layout is written by hand in HTML, CSS and JavaScript rather than dragged together in Wix or a WordPress theme, so the design can follow how your customers choose. A Long Jetty cafe might open with its hours and menu; a fabricator in one of the Coast's business parks might open with its capabilities and a drawing upload. There's no page-builder subscription, and once it's paid for, the design belongs to you.
The people who lay out your pages also write the code behind them: multi-step quote forms, file uploads for plans or photos, galleries, a page for each suburb you service and tap-to-call buttons. For a trade covering Lake Munmorah to Kincumber, separate area pages say plainly where you go, instead of one vague line about servicing the region.
If your current site is slow on a phone, still lists a price from three years ago or sits on a platform nobody can log in to any more, we rebuild it at the same three prices. We carry over whichever words and photos still work, keep the old site running while you review the new one, and leave the domain registered in your name.
The $799 store suits up to 25 products, with one payment gateway and basic order management. The $1,999 store has unlimited products, multiple payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping, which matters if you post to Sydney and Newcastle as well as offering pickup. You pay our $30 monthly hosting rather than a store subscription; the payment provider charges its own fee per sale.
With health care the Coast's biggest employer and close to six million visitors a year, plenty of businesses here run on appointments and reservations. We can build booking and payment into the site, quoted per job once we know how your sessions and cancellations work, or link the system you already use, such as HotDoc, Cliniko, Fresha or OpenTable.
At the 2021 Census, 28.7% of Central Coast residents were 60 or older, against 20.5% across Greater Sydney. We set sites in large type with strong contrast, keep headings plain and put a phone number at the top of every page. That helps a retiree in Budgewoi, and it helps anyone squinting at a phone on the beach.
Central Coast Council was created on 12 May 2016 by merging Gosford City and Wyong Shire, and its main office is at 2 Hely Street, Wyong. Council puts the area at about 1,680 square kilometres with more than 80 kilometres of coastline, and the region runs from the Hawkesbury River up to Lake Macquarie, with the Watagan Mountains to the west. Customers rarely search by council, though. In the north they use Budgewoi, Lake Munmorah, Gwandalan, San Remo and Doyalson around the lakes; Toukley, Noraville and Norah Head; The Entrance, Long Jetty, Bateau Bay and Killarney Vale; Wyong, Tuggerah and Ourimbah; and the newer estates of Warnervale, Wadalba, Woongarrah and Hamlyn Terrace. The southern half, from Gosford and Erina to Terrigal and the Woy Woy Peninsula, has its own Gosford page.
Council's economic profile counts 357,816 residents in 2025 and a gross regional product of $21.7 billion, and forecast.id expects the population to pass 412,000 by 2046. Health care and social assistance added 6,204 jobs in the five years to 2024/25, construction 2,770 and education and training 1,667. Manufacturing is still a bigger slice of local work than across the state, 6.3% against 5.6%, even after shedding 957 jobs over that time, and council's list of major employers includes polytec, Borg Manufacturing, East Coast Beverages, TrendPac and the Singleton Group. Council also counts 29 designated employment precincts, the region's business parks, with more than 3.3 million square metres of employment and mixed-use space between them.
Most of the growth is expected in the north. Council describes its Central Lakes District, taking in Warnervale and Lake Munmorah and reaching over the boundary to Morisset, as the Coast's primary northern growth corridor, and its 2026 priorities include a residential expansion at Wadalba, a masterplan for a Warnervale business precinct and a Northern Regional Leisure and Aquatic Centre. Wyong Hospital at Hamlyn Terrace is the region's second-largest hospital, and council names Wyong, Tuggerah, Lake Haven, The Entrance and Bateau Bay among the key commercial centres outside Gosford. Families who have just moved into a new estate don't know yet which GP, childcare centre, electrician or gym the neighbours use, so they search, and a site that names your suburb and the ones next to it tells them quickly that you're nearby.
Holidaymakers are the other half of the story. The Entrance has drawn holidaymakers since the area's first guest house opened in 1885, and its pelicans are still part of the draw: Pelican Time, a free talk by Marine Wildlife Rescue Central Coast volunteers at Pelican Plaza, runs at 3:30pm on Wednesdays, weekends and public holidays, and every day in the school holidays. A waterfront cafe or hire business that keeps longer hours in the holidays needs a website that says so. People coming up from Sydney usually choose where to stay, eat and book a cruise or a surf lesson before they leave home. For them, prices, opening hours, a map and a way to book belong on the first screen; locals around the lakes mostly want a phone number and some sign that you turn up when you say you will.
We're an Adelaide team, and Central Coast projects run by phone and email. Phoenix Housekeeping, one of our NSW clients, is based just north of the council boundary in Morisset and lists Gorokan, Charmhaven, The Entrance, Toukley, Wyong, Tuggerah and Lake Haven among the suburbs it cleans; none of our clients is headquartered on the Coast itself. Trades can read more on our page for Central Coast tradies, and businesses that also work around Lake Macquarie can see our Newcastle page.
Phoenix Housekeeping cleans in the northern Coast suburbs from its base in Morisset. The other two are in Adelaide and on Brisbane's Bayside. We chose them for things Coast businesses ask for: suburb pages for a service business, area pages for a trade covering a big region, and timetables and enrolments for a family-focused business in a growing area.
A family-run cleaner doing Airbnb turnovers with linen, end-of-lease, NDIS and trauma cleans. The site publishes its prices, gives each suburb its own page and offers a discreet call-back, a set-up that suits a cleaner working between holiday lets at The Entrance and homes around Lake Haven.

An Adelaide painting company with 12 detailed service pages, region pages across South Australia and a suburb and postcode search. The same structure lets a Coast painter, roofer or electrician show customers anywhere from Gwandalan to Umina Beach that they're covered.

A Thorneside dance school with a page for each program, a weekly class timetable, a filterable photo gallery, FAQs and an online enrolment form. Swim schools, tutors, gyms and childcare services near the Warnervale and Wadalba estates need much the same mix.

Yes, on the same terms as the rest of the Coast. We're an Adelaide team, so every project outside Adelaide is handled by phone and email: you send your words and photos, we send a draft link to check on your phone, and you reply with as many changes as you like. We reply within 24 hours.
Yes, and it costs the same as a new site. Send us the address and tell us what isn't working. We build the replacement as a draft while your current site stays online, then move your domain across only once you approve it. If you're not sure a rebuild is worth it, our article on whether to redesign or rebuild walks through the choice.
Yes. We build online booking and payment systems into websites, priced per job and set out in your quote before any work starts. If you already use a booking service such as Cliniko, HotDoc, Fresha or Calendly, we can link it from every page instead. There's more on our booking websites page.
It can. The $799 store covers up to 25 products with one payment gateway, which suits a small range such as candles, surf wax or gift hampers. The $1,999 store adds unlimited products, more payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. Both are hand-coded and run on our $30 monthly hosting, with details on our ecommerce website design page.
No. You send your words and photos and we arrange them into pages that read well, tidying headings and layout as we go. If you'd like professional photos, a local photographer can supply them and we'll fit them in. If you don't have a logo, we'll help with one at no charge. 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.
Tell us what you do, the suburbs you cover and anything the site has to handle, such as bookings, online orders or quote requests with photos. We'll send a fixed quote, then a draft to check and change, and you pay only once you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
