Complete Small-Business Website
For a small business that needs a professional website built from the ground up: clear to customers, fast on their phones, visible to search engines, and portable if the hosting ever changes.
The current approach
Josh’s current service does not build new client sites on Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress. It uses a static approach: pages are generated before a customer visits, ordinary content does not depend on a public database, and the complete source can be moved to another suitable host.
That is a current service decision, not a rewrite of history. The portfolio includes older Squarespace projects that accurately reflect the platform chosen at the time. Businesses on older platforms can now use the rescue and migration offer to move to the current static stack.
The offer
This offer is for a small or local business that needs a new primary website, whether the business is launching, replacing an inadequate site, or bringing a scattered digital presence into one credible home.
These can be discussed and quoted where appropriate; they are not assumed to be part of every project.
01
Josh learns what the business does, who the website is for, what exists already, and what a useful result looks like.
02
You receive a written scope and quote. Once accepted, the 50% deposit starts the project.
03
The agreed structure, content, design, and static build are developed and reviewed with you.
04
The site is checked for responsive behaviour, performance, discovery foundations, and agreed functions before launch.
Starting investment
A typical small-business website build starts around A$3,000–A$4,000. The actual quote depends on the agreed pages, content, integrations, and functions.
The final scope and investment are confirmed in a written quote before any deposit is requested.
