What ongoing website costs really look like
Hosting is often cheap. The real decision is whether you want monthly maintenance help.
For many small trade sites on modern hosting, tooling can sit on free tiers to start — plus a .com.au domain each year.
Optional maintenance covers updates, small content changes and peace of mind. SEO retainers are separate if you want ongoing content and ranking work.
We’ll always separate **build price**, **tooling**, and **optional retainers** so nothing feels hidden.
