Web Design for Gold Coast Businesses

Hand-coded websites for businesses anywhere from Ormeau to Coolangatta, built by our Adelaide team by phone and email. The prices are fixed and published, and you pay nothing until you've seen the draft and approved it.

What Gold Coast businesses ask us for

Most enquiries from the coast are one of six things. Here's the honest answer to each, with the price where there is one.

  • An affordable small business site

    One page is $399 and up to 3 pages is $899. Up to 8 pages is $1,499 and no GST is added. A Palm Beach café or a mobile groomer working the northern estates usually fits on one page or three. A clinic with several practitioners and a page each for its services is more likely to need eight.

  • Custom design, coded by hand

    We don't start from a Wix template or a WordPress theme. Each site is coded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript around what your customers look for first: for a business that serves visitors, that's usually where you are and when you're open; for a trade, it's the suburbs you cover.

  • A redesign of a site that has stopped working for you

    If your current site crawls on a phone, sits on a theme nobody updates, or costs more each month than it earns, we rebuild it for the same price as a new site: $399 for one page, $899 for three or $1,499 for eight. You keep your domain, old page addresses are redirected to the new ones, and the existing site stays live until you approve its replacement.

  • A web developer you can talk to directly

    You deal with the people writing the code, by phone or email, rather than an account manager. We work from Adelaide, so you check each draft as a link on your phone and send changes in a reply, as many rounds as you need.

  • An online store

    $799 covers up to 25 products, one payment gateway and basic order management. $1,999 gives you unlimited products, multiple payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. There's no platform subscription on top of the $30 monthly hosting, which suits a swimwear label or a homewares shop selling past the coast.

  • Bookings for tours, classes and appointments

    We can build online booking and payments into your site, quoted for your job once we know how your sessions, group sizes and cancellations work. If you already take bookings through Fresha, Cliniko, Rezdy or Calendly, we can link that system from every page instead.

  • Help getting started

    If you're new and don't have a logo, we'll help you with one at no charge. The words and photos come from you, and we arrange them into pages that read well on a small screen.

Doing business on the Gold Coast

The City of Gold Coast is Queensland's second most populous council area after Brisbane, and Council puts its population at over 647,000, heading for about a million by 2050. It isn't one town with one centre. Southport is the CBD, Robina further south has its own hospital and university, and in the north Pimpama, which the Member for Coomera called one of Queensland's fastest-growing suburbs, got the coast's first new train station in 16 years in October 2025. Nerang and the valleys sit behind the beaches. Somebody in Currumbin is unlikely to drive to Coomera for a haircut, so a Gold Coast website should say plainly which stretch of the coast you serve or where you're based, in the text and not only on a map.

Tourism has shaped much of the city's economy. Two of the big theme parks are in the north, Dreamworld at Coomera and Warner Bros. Movie World at Oxenford, while visitors staying in Surfers Paradise or Broadbeach search on their phones for meals, tours and things to do in suburbs they don't know. A business that relies on them needs a site that works for a stranger: what you offer, what it costs or how to get a price, where to park, and how to book. Locals want different things from the same page, such as hours outside school holidays, so it can help to give each group its own section.

Health and education are strengths of the local economy as well. Gold Coast University Hospital in Southport and Robina Hospital are the two major public hospitals, and a third public hospital is planned for Coomera. Griffith University's Gold Coast campus is at Southport, Bond University is at Robina and Southern Cross University has a campus at Bilinga, near the airport. For an allied health clinic, a tutor or a gym near any of them, a booking link and a short note on parking and public transport often matter more to a new client than a long about page.

Some businesses here sell to other businesses. Screen production is one of the sectors Invest Gold Coast promotes, centred on Village Roadshow Studios beside Movie World at Oxenford, and Council's planning for industrial land takes in the marine industry precinct at Coomera. A crew supplier, a marine electrician or a fabricator is chosen on what they've done before, so the site needs past jobs with photos, equipment, certifications and a contact form that asks for the details of the work.

We're based in Adelaide, at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, and we work with Gold Coast businesses by phone and email; we don't have staff on the coast or hold meetings there. Queensland doesn't use daylight saving, so for half the year Adelaide runs half an hour ahead of the coast and for the other half, half an hour behind. If you're in a trade, our pages for Gold Coast tradies, plumbers, electricians and builders cover licence details and jobs over the border in Tweed.

Sites we've built that show what a Gold Coast site needs

These three are from Queensland and South Australia, picked for what they do: class timetables and enrolments, booking requests for a tour operator, and a trade site built to be used on a phone.

Gold Coast web design questions

Are you based on the Gold Coast?

No. WebCraft Studio is an Adelaide web design team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St, and we work with Gold Coast businesses by phone and email. Your draft arrives as a link you can open anywhere, and we reply within 24 hours. Our current clients are in South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

What does an affordable website cost on the Gold Coast?

The same as anywhere else in Australia: $399 for one page, $899 for up to 3 pages and $1,499 for up to 8 pages. No GST is added. There's no deposit. We build the draft, you ask for changes until you're happy, then you pay. Hosting is $30 a month after launch, with no contract.

Can you redesign a Gold Coast site that's on WordPress or Wix?

Yes. We rebuild it by hand at the same prices as a new site. Send us the address and tell us what to keep; we carry your existing words and photos across, point your old page addresses at the new pages, and switch your domain over only after you've approved the new site.

Can visitors book and pay on our website?

Yes. We build online booking and payment systems into sites, and we quote that work for each job once we know how your bookings run. If you already use a booking system such as Fresha, Cliniko, Rezdy or Calendly, we can link it from your site instead, so people book without leaving the page they're on.

Do you build online stores for Gold Coast brands?

Yes. A store is $799 for up to 25 products with one payment gateway, or $1,999 for unlimited products, multiple payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. See our ecommerce website design page for what each includes.

Will a new website put us at the top of Google for Gold Coast searches?

Nobody can honestly promise a ranking, and we don't. We build fast pages with a clear heading for each service and your part of the coast named in the text, which helps search engines understand what you do and where. We don't sell SEO retainers or run ads.
