Hand-coded websites at fixed prices for businesses from Thirroul and Corrimal to Figtree, Dapto and Port Kembla. New sites, rebuilds of old ones, online stores and booking, made by our Adelaide team and run entirely by phone and email.
A Wollongong customer might be a commuter looking you up on the way home from Sydney, a UOW student between lectures, or a day-tripper who has just driven over the Sea Cliff Bridge. All three are on a phone and want an answer fast. This is how our fixed offer fits each kind of request.
Three sizes, three prices: $399 for one page, $899 for up to three and $1,499 for up to eight. We aren't registered for GST, there's no deposit, and you pay only once you've approved the finished draft. A sole trader in Unanderra gets the same terms as a firm in the CBD.
We hand-code every site instead of filling in a page builder, so a Thirroul cafe and an engineering supplier near Port Kembla don't end up looking like versions of the same theme. The design follows what your customers need to see first, and there's no builder subscription to keep paying.
Plenty of local sites were set up years ago and never touched again. If yours is slow, broken on a phone or impossible to edit, a redesign costs the same as a new site. We build the replacement as a draft beside the old one, you keep your domain, and nothing changes until you say so.
Starter stores are $799 for up to 25 products with one payment gateway and basic order management. Growth stores are $1,999 for unlimited products, several payment options, customer accounts and advanced shipping. Both are hand-coded with no platform fee; your payment provider charges its own fee on each sale.
When close to three in ten working residents have jobs outside the council area, many of them in Sydney, the evening or the weekend is often when people get round to booking. We can build booking and payments into your site, quoted per job, or link the service you already use, such as Fresha, Calendly or OpenTable, so nobody has to wait for you to pick up the phone.
Design and code come from one team: enquiry forms that accept drawings and PDFs, multi-step quote forms, timetables, photo galleries and tap-to-call. For a supplier selling to industry, that can include a capability page listing your equipment, certifications and the work you take on, written in your words.
Wollongong sits about 80 km south of Sydney, squeezed between the escarpment and the sea, and locals place themselves by stretch of coast rather than by council. There are the northern villages such as Stanwell Park, Austinmer and Thirroul; the city centre and the suburbs around the university at Keiraville; the south around Port Kembla, Warrawong and Berkeley; and the growing Dapto and Horsley area. Shellharbour and Kiama are separate councils further south. A site that names those places, not just 'the Illawarra', tells a customer straight away whether you're nearby.
Wollongong City Council's economic profile puts the council area at 224,327 residents and 16,278 local businesses in 2025, with 102,523 local jobs in 2024/25. Health care and social assistance is the largest employer, with 21,942 of those jobs, followed by construction and by education and training, and manufacturing's 8.5% share of local jobs is well above the 5.6% across NSW. Heavy industry anchors the southern end: BlueScope runs an integrated steelworks at Port Kembla, and NSW Ports describes the port there as the state's largest motor vehicle import hub, its second-largest coal export port and home to its largest grain export terminal, supporting about 10,000 jobs. Businesses that supply sites like these, such as fabricators, transport companies, electrical and mechanical contractors and maintenance firms, sell mainly to other businesses, and their buyers want to see capability, certifications and a way to send a drawing before they call.
Education is the other big presence. The University of Wollongong says it has more than 35,000 students, with its main campus on Northfields Avenue and an Innovation Campus that brings research and industry together. That brings a steady flow of students, researchers and staff, many of them new to the area and looking for everything from a room to rent to a barber, a gym or a dentist.
Commuting and tourism pull in opposite directions. At the 2021 Census about two in three employed residents worked inside the council area and close to three in ten worked outside it, with Shellharbour, the City of Sydney and Sutherland Shire the most common destinations. For those households, comparing and booking local services is often something done in the evening or at the weekend. Visitors come the other way: Grand Pacific Drive runs 140 km from the Royal National Park, over the Sea Cliff Bridge and through Wollongong, Shellharbour and Kiama, and Nan Tien Temple at Berkeley welcomes visitors. A cafe, guesthouse or tour on that route needs its hours, directions and a booking link to work on a phone.
We're an Adelaide team and work with Illawarra businesses by phone and email. None of the client sites in our portfolio is in the Illawarra yet, so we've shown NSW and interstate work below. Trades and builders will find the NSW licence rules, escarpment sites and West Dapto growth covered on our pages for Wollongong tradies and Wollongong builders.
None of these clients is in the Illawarra. We chose them for features a Wollongong business is likely to want: online booking, class timetables and enrolment, and a service area that runs a long way along a map.
A Sydney family law dispute resolution practice. Its priced packages link straight to online booking, with a five-step intake form for new clients: a setup that suits any appointment business whose customers book in the evening.

A dance school on Brisbane's Bayside. The 12-page site has a page per program, a weekly timetable, a filterable photo gallery, FAQs and an online enrolment form, the setup a Wollongong studio, tutor or swim school would need.
Visit the Qld Performing Arts site (opens in a new tab) See it in our portfolio
An Adelaide painting company working across South Australia. Its site has 12 service pages, region pages and a suburb and postcode search, a pattern that fits a business covering the coast from the northern villages down to Kiama.

Where many sole traders start
$399
A single page with your services, the stretch of coast you cover, reviews, opening hours and a contact form with tap-to-call. Enough for a mobile trade, a tutor or a new business.
$899
A home page plus two more, such as services and a booking or timetable page. Suits a studio, clinic or cafe that wants its menu or classes on their own page.
$1,499
For a firm with several services or a supplier selling to industry: room for a capability page, separate service pages, projects, FAQs and contact. Sites this size take 2–3 weeks.
The same as anywhere else we work: $399 for a one-page site, $899 for up to three pages and $1,499 for up to eight. Online stores are $799 or $1,999. No GST is added and there's no deposit. After launch, hosting is $30 a month, with no contract.
If customers can't use it on a phone or you can't update it, usually yes. We rebuild existing sites at the same prices as new ones and can reuse the words and photos you already have. You see the new version as a draft first, your domain stays yours, and if you don't go ahead you owe nothing.
Yes. We build online booking and payment systems into sites, priced per job and set out in your quote, or we link a booking service you already use. For Resolve Forward, a Sydney mediation practice, we linked each priced package to online booking.
A clear list of what you make, fix or supply, the equipment and certifications you hold, the sectors you work for and the area you cover. The words come from you; we lay them out. A quote form that accepts drawings and PDFs saves a round of emails; we built one for Simple Engineers in Adelaide that takes file uploads and shows fee ranges.
Yes, on the same terms and prices. Shellharbour and Kiama have their own councils, so if you cover them we name the towns separately rather than folding them into Wollongong. Everything is done by phone and email, so where you are on the coast makes no difference to us.
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. For an online store or a booking system, your quote sets out the timing. We reply within 24 hours throughout.
Send us a few lines about your business, the suburbs or towns you cover and anything you need the site to do, such as bookings or online sales. You'll get a fixed quote, then a draft to check and change, and you pay once you approve it.
We reply within 24 hours. Prefer email? info@webcraftstudio.com.au
