The decision
Fixitorrebuildit?
It comes down to one question: is the site itself the problem, or is it just hard to find? Here’s how to tell, and what each route costs.
People who land on it can read it and ring you. They just never land on it.
It’s a fix when
It loads quickly and works on a phone.
Calling you or asking for a quote takes one tap.
But search your trade and your suburb, and you’re nowhere.
What the fix is
Our local SEO package: a full SEO audit, local SEO improvements, Google Business Profile and Maps pack optimisation, and listings on relevant local directories.
A one-off job. It doesn’t include content writing, backlink building or ongoing reports.
Sending more people to a site that loses them is money down the drain. Start clean.
It’s a rebuild when
It’s slow, or it falls apart on a phone.
There’s no obvious way to call or ask for a quote.
You can’t get in to change it, or can’t reach whoever built it.
What the rebuild is
A new site built for phones, with core SEO, schema, Google Search Console and conversion tracking in from the start. Paid once, with no monthly fees, and it’s yours.
The Toolkit is $2,500 and live in 14 days. The Workshop is $5,900 and The Worksite starts at $13,500; both get a date in the quote.
When we took over an electrical company’s website, Google barely knew it was there. Same business, same trade. Three months later, this is where it sat.
The pages, the words and the photos. If the site disappears the day you stop paying, you’re renting it.
How to checkAsk one question, in writing: if I leave, do I keep the site?
03The logins
You should hold an admin login of your own, for the site and for wherever it’s hosted.
How to checkTry logging in. If you have to ask someone to change a phone number, you don’t have the keys.
04The Google accounts
Business Profile, Analytics, Search Console, and Google Ads if you run them. They should sit under your Google account.
How to checkOpen each one and look at who’s listed as the owner. Your web company should be a guest, not the landlord.

A hosting fee here, a booking widget there, a review feed on top. Slide to what your site and its tools cost you a month. A rebuild with us is paid once, and where it’s worth doing we build your own version of those tools into it, so the subscriptions can stop.

Not everything is worth rebuilding. If yours isn’t, we’ll say so. If it is, you get a fixed price before we start.

That’s what renting adds up to. Built once and owned, the monthly line is $0.
Usually it’s local SEO, not the design. The common causes are a Google Business Profile that’s unclaimed or half filled in, no pages for the services and areas you cover, few reviews, and a site that never names your suburbs. Our local SEO package covers the audit, your Google Business Profile, the Maps pack and local directory listings for $950, one-off. It doesn’t include writing new pages, and nobody can honestly promise a position on Google.
How much does a website redesign or rebuild cost?
A rebuild starts at $2,500 for The Toolkit, paid once. The Workshop is $5,900 and The Worksite starts at $13,500. There are no monthly fees on any of them: after launch you pay only for your own domain name and email accounts, direct to whoever you buy them from.
Can you fix my site, or does it have to be rebuilt?
It depends on what’s wrong. If the site is sound and just can’t be found, the local SEO package is the fix: $950, one-off. If the site itself is slow, broken on a phone or hard to enquire through, a rebuild is the better spend, from $2,500 paid once. Send us the address and we’ll tell you which.
Who owns my website?
That depends on who registered the domain and what your agreement says. Check that the domain is registered to you, that you hold your own admin login, and that the Google accounts sit under your Google account. On a site we build, the site, the domain and the accounts are in your name.
I’m paying monthly for my current website. Does that stop?
With us there’s no monthly fee to begin with. We don’t charge for hosting, a support plan or maintenance, so a site from us is paid for once. What you owe your current provider, and what you can take with you, is in your agreement with them, so check it before you cancel anything.
Will a new website get me more calls?
It makes you easier to find and easier to ring, and taps on your number and every form are tracked so you can see what’s working. Nobody can honestly promise a number of jobs. That depends on demand in your area, your prices and how fast you call people back.
How long does a rebuild take?
The Toolkit is live in 14 days from when we have your details and photos. The Workshop and The Worksite are bigger builds, and the date goes in your quote before we start.
