01 Built by us

The sites we run and build, so you can judge the work, not the pitch.

Two of these are businesses we run ourselves; one is a client. Every one was designed, written and put live the same way yours would be.

02 What you get

Not a template with your logo on it. A page built around the way your customers actually find you.

Right on every phone
Most of your customers find you on a phone. The site is designed there first and checked on real screens.
A form that reaches you
Enquiries land in your inbox with the details you need to quote. No dashboard to log into.
Call, map, hours
The three things people want are one tap away: call you, find you, know when you are open.
Fast, because it is simple
No page builder, no plugins, no bloat. Pages load quickly on mobile data, which search engines reward.
Your domain, your files
Everything is set up in your name. If you ever leave, you take the lot with you.
Written with you
We write the words from how you actually describe your work. No jargon, no filler.

03 Pricing

Two packages. One fixed price each.

All prices in Australian dollars and include GST. You pay half to start and half when the site is live. No hourly rates, no ongoing fees unless you choose the Care plan.

What is not included, so there are no surprises

  • Domain registration. Around $20 a year for a .com.au, paid to the registrar in your name. We set it up.
  • Email hosting. We connect the provider you choose; we do not sell mailboxes.
  • Photography. Phone photos are fine and we make them look good. Professional shoots are on you.
  • Online shops, booking systems and member logins. We link to the tools you already use. Custom builds are quoted separately.

04 How it works

From first message to live site

The timeline below is for a Launch site once we have your content. The slowest step is nearly always waiting for photos, so send them early.

06 FAQ

Questions people ask before they get in touch

What do you actually need from me?

Your business name, what you do, the suburbs you cover, your contact details, a logo if you have one, and some photos. If you do not have words for the site, tell us about the business in a few sentences and we write it from there.

How long does it take?

Launch sites usually go live within 5 business days of receiving your content and deposit, Grow sites within 10. The slowest part is almost always waiting for photos, so send them early.

Is hosting included?

Yes. We set your site up on a hosting plan with a free tier that comfortably covers a small business site, in an account that belongs to you. There is no monthly fee unless your traffic outgrows it, and we will tell you before that happens.

Is the domain included?

Domain registration is separate, usually around $20 a year for a .com.au, paid to the registrar in your name. We handle the setup and connection at no extra cost.

Do I own the website?

Yes. The files, the domain and the hosting account are yours. If you ever move on, you take everything with you.

Do you set up email addresses?

We do not sell email, but we connect the one you choose. Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 are the usual picks; we set up the records so it works.

Can I make changes later?

Yes. Small changes are quoted as a one-off from $60, or covered by the Care plan at $49 a month, which you can cancel any time.

Where are you based? Do you only work with Gold Coast businesses?

We are on the Gold Coast, Queensland, and work with businesses anywhere in Australia. Everything happens over email and a phone call or two, so distance does not change the process or the price.

What happens after I send the form?

We reply within one business day with a fixed quote and any questions. If you are happy, you pay a 50% deposit, send your content, and we start.

07 Who is behind it

A small Gold Coast studio that keeps things simple on purpose

Your Local Design is a Gold Coast web studio that builds fixed-price websites for Australian tradies, cafés and local service businesses. It is a small team that quotes, designs, writes and builds every site in-house, so the people you email are the people doing the work. There are two packages, Launch at $1,490 and Grow at $2,490, both including GST, hosting setup and the domain connection. A Launch site goes live within 5 business days of receiving your content, Grow within 10, and you own the files, the domain and the hosting account from day one. The studio works with businesses anywhere in Australia over email and a phone call, and replies to every enquiry within one business day. Ongoing changes are optional: a Care plan at $49 a month, or one-off edits quoted up front.
