What you are buying
A business website quote usually covers discovery, design, build, content, SEO foundations, forms, analytics, hosting setup, and launch QA. Cheap offers often omit migration, accessibility, security headers, or training — then charge change requests at hourly rates.
Typical Melbourne ranges
Template or page-builder sites for very small businesses might land from roughly $3k–$8k if content is ready. Custom marketing sites on modern frameworks commonly run $8k–$25k+ depending on pages, animations, integrations, and copy support. E-commerce and portals sit higher again.
Ongoing costs
Budget for hosting, domain, SSL, plugin or platform updates, backups, and content changes. Sites without maintenance drift slow, insecure, and off-brand. Pairing the site with the same team that manages IT avoids “the web person says talk to IT” deadlocks.
How to compare proposals
Ask who owns DNS, where forms send data, performance targets, and what happens after launch. Run a site check on your existing property for SSL, headers and basic hygiene before you sign — it clarifies whether you need a refresh or a rebuild.
