Two ways to get a website

Build it yourself,
or hand it over

Same platform. Same hosting. Same person answering the phone when something looks wrong. The only thing that changes is who moves the pieces around — and you can change your mind later without rebuilding anything.

Done for you

We build it

from $297 one-off

Tell us about the business and we build it around what you actually do. You get the same editor when it launches, so you are never locked out of your own website.

  • Built from your photos, words and services
  • Three sizes, depending on how much site you need
  • The editor handed over on launch day
  • Hosting and care available alongside
  • Usually live within a fortnight

What actually differs

Most of it does not. Here is the honest list.

How fast it goes live As fast as you work Usually within a fortnight
Editing it afterwards Yours, always Yours, always

Switching later Hand it to us any time Take the wheel any time

You are not choosing once

Start building it yourself and hand it over when you run out of patience. Or have us build it and take the wheel afterwards. It is the same site on the same platform either way, so nothing has to be rebuilt and nothing is lost in the handover — that is the whole reason we run one platform instead of two.

Before you ask

The questions we get

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. If you can write an email and drag a photo, you can use it. Everything you change is saved as a version, so there is nothing you can break that we cannot put back.

What happens if I cancel?

The site is yours. We hand over what is there — we are not holding your business hostage to a monthly fee.

Is the $59 on top of hosting?

No. Hosting, SSL and publishing are in it. One number, one bill.

Can I start DIY and give up?

Yes, and plenty do. We pick it up where you left it and finish it — you are not paying twice for the same site.
