How it works

From first chat to launch.

Building a new website shouldn't be confusing or overwhelming. That's why we've created a straightforward process with clear communication at every stage, making it easy to bring your business online with confidence.

1

Choose the package that's right for you

Start by selecting the website package that best suits your business and budget. Whether you're launching a new business, refreshing an existing website or planning to sell online, we'll help you choose the option that fits your needs today, with room to grow in the future.

2

Tell us about your business

Once you're ready to get started, we'll learn more about your business, your services and your goals. We'll also collect any logos, images and content you'd like included. If you need help with your content, we're here to guide you.

3

We design your website

This is where your ideas begin to come to life. Our team creates a website that's tailored to your business, your brand and your customers — not a generic template. Every page is carefully designed to look professional, be easy to navigate and work beautifully across desktop, tablet and mobile devices.

4

Review and approve

Before your website goes live, you'll have the opportunity to review everything and request any refinements. We want you to be completely happy before launch, so we'll work with you to make sure everything looks and feels just right.

5

We launch your website

Once approved, we'll take care of the technical side of launching your website. From connecting your domain to making your website live, we'll handle the details so you can focus on running your business.

6

Your journey doesn't end there

Your website is live, but we're still here when you need us. From hosting and ongoing support to website updates, we've got you covered while you pay off your website over 12 simple monthly payments. Once your final payment has been made, ownership is transferred to you.

Rent-a-Website vs DIY

The real difference between renting and DIY.

DIY platforms like Wix, Squarespace and Shopify look cheap up front — until you add up the "forever" fees and realise you never actually own the site. Here's how a professionally built, CMS-based Rent-a-Website compares.

DIY website buildersThe catch
Rent-a-WebsiteThe difference
Weaker for SEO

Ranking well is harder on DIY builders. Google relies on clean, clearly structured code to make sense of your pages — but many builders hide or clutter that code, so your site can struggle to be found.

Built for real SEO

Every site is built on an open-source CMS with clean, fast-loading code and a proper on-page SEO structure — friendly URLs, meta descriptions and keywords — plus optional SEO plugins that can help.

You never own it

With platforms like Wix, Shopify and Weebly you never fully own your website. Outgrow it or want more control, and you can't simply move it — you have to start again from scratch.

You own it — like Afterpay

Plans run for a minimum of 12 months. After that the website is yours to keep and move anywhere, or stay hosted with us for a small ongoing fee. No lock-in contracts — complete ownership, as it should be.

Stuck on their servers

Your site lives on their servers, and free plans even put their name in your web address — not great for SEO or professionalism. Moving to another host means rebuilding it.

Your own cPanel

Every plan sits on its own cPanel hosting, so you get full control, key performance metrics and professional branded email on your domain — and it's easy to move later if you ever want to.

Same as everyone

You get a set number of templates with limited control over your branding. On platforms with millions of users, your site can end up looking like thousands of others.

Built to stand out

Thousands of customisable themes, tailored to your brand rather than a stock template — plus the freedom to add features and functionality so your site grows with your business.

A “forever” fee

The monthly cost never ends. On a builder like Wix you keep paying month after month, year after year — and even then, you still never own your website.

Pays off, doesn't rack up

Instead of an endless monthly fee, you pay a fixed amount from $49.95/mo over 12 months. Once it's paid off, the website is yours — with nothing more to pay unless you choose to stay hosted with us.
