New business websites

Just started your business? Here's your website.

You've got the ABN, the business name and the first few customers. Now you need somewhere to send people. Get a professional site, a logo and business email sorted in one go, from $590.

The short answer

A new business needs a simple, professional website that says what you do, where you work and how to contact you, plus a domain name and business email that look credible. With Webralia you can get all of it from one brief: a 5-page site from $590, a logo for $249, a .com.au domain for $29 a year and email at $4 a mailbox, usually live the same day. Or pay $99 a month with nothing upfront.

01

Everything in one place

Website, logo, domain, email and hosting in one brief and one bill, instead of five accounts with five companies.

02

Nothing upfront

Keep cash in the business: $99 a month for 12 months covers a 10-page site and hosting.

03

Grows with you

Start with 5 pages. Add services, suburbs, a booking calendar or a shop when the business is ready.

What a new business actually needs online

When you start a business, it’s easy to get talked into things you don’t need yet: a big brand strategy, a 30-page website, social media packages, SEO retainers. Most new businesses need four things to look credible and start getting enquiries:

  1. A website that clearly says what you do, where, and how to contact you.
  2. A domain name, ideally a .com.au that matches your business name.
  3. Business email on that domain.
  4. A Google Business Profile, so you appear in local searches and on Google Maps.

Get those right and you’ve covered most of what customers check before they call. The rest can come later, once you know what’s working.

Your launch kit, in one brief

Instead of signing up with a registrar, a web designer, a host, an email provider and a logo designer separately, you can do it all in one Webralia brief:

Item Price
5-page website (design, writing, forms, Google setup) $590
Startup logo $249
.com.au domain $29/year
Business email $4/mailbox/month
Hosting, security and backups $12/month

Prefer not to pay upfront? Choose $99 a month for 12 months, covering a 10-page site and a year of hosting.

Writing a website when you have no reviews yet

The hardest part of a new business website is proving you’re trustworthy when you’re new. We handle that by leaning on what you do have:

  • Your experience. Ten years as an apprentice and employed tradesperson counts. So do years in banking before becoming a broker.
  • Your credentials. Licences, qualifications, memberships, insurance, credit representative numbers.
  • Your promise. Clear guarantees, fixed prices where possible, and response times you can keep.
  • You. A real photo and a short, honest story about why you started. People like dealing with the owner.

As reviews come in, we can add a Google reviews widget ($149) so new ones appear automatically.

Set up for Google from day one

New businesses often wait months before thinking about search. We set the foundations from the start: page titles and descriptions, structured data with your business name, area and services, a sitemap, fast pages, and links between your website and your Google Business Profile.

Our guide to local SEO for tradies explains the rest of what helps you show up locally, much of which applies to any service business.

Ready when you are, not in six weeks

Your website can be ready the same day you fill in the brief. That matters when you’re starting out: you have business cards to print, a ute to signwrite, a Facebook page to set up and customers asking for your website. See same day websites for how it works.

Room to grow

Start small and add as you go:

  • More service pages as you add services.
  • Suburb pages as you expand your area.
  • A booking calendar, quote calculator or online payments.
  • Monthly SEO content once you’re ready to push for more search traffic.

Because every site is a static website with no plugins, adding to it later doesn’t create maintenance headaches.

Start your brief and launch your business with a website that looks like you’ve been doing this for years.

Questions

Common questions

How many pages does a new business website need?

Five is usually enough to start: home, services, about, contact, plus one of service areas, gallery or FAQs. You can add pages any time. Our guide on how many pages a website needs goes into more detail.

Do I need a .com.au domain?

For an Australian business, a .com.au builds trust with local customers. You need an ABN or ACN to register one. We can register it for you for $29 a year, or connect a domain you already own.

I don't have a logo yet. Is that a problem?

No. Tick the logo option in your brief and we'll design one ($249), or a full brand kit with colours, fonts and social media images ($449).

Do I need business email?

An address like [email protected] looks far more credible than a Gmail address on a quote. Mailboxes are $4 each a month, or 5 for $15.

Should I just use a Facebook page?

Use both. Facebook is good for updates and community, but many customers search Google first and expect a proper website. You also don't control a Facebook page: its reach and rules can change overnight.
