How much does a website cost in Melbourne?
Updated 14 October 2026
It depends on what the site has to do. A one-page site and a fully custom build are different jobs, so quotes range from a few hundred dollars to many thousands. What matters more than the headline number is what the monthly fee covers, who owns the site, and whether you are locked in.
Why quotes are so far apart
Two businesses can ask for "a website" and mean very different things. One needs a single page that explains what they do and gets the phone ringing. Another needs ten service pages, a booking system and custom design. The work, and the price, follow the job.
The main things that move the price are the number of pages, whether the words are written for you, how custom the design is, and anything extra the site has to do, like bookings, payments or motion.
The costs people forget
The build is only part of it. A site also needs hosting, a domain, security updates and someone to make changes when your hours, prices or services change. Some designers include that in a monthly fee; some charge per change; some leave it to you.
Ask before you sign: what does the monthly fee include, how fast are changes made, and what happens if you want to leave?
Five questions to ask any web designer
Who owns the domain and the content? It should be you, in your name.
Is there a minimum contract? Month to month means you can leave if it isn't working.
Who writes the words? If it's you, budget the time.
Is it designed for phones first? Most people who look you up will do it on a phone.
Can I see work before I pay the full amount?
