Web Design
Small business website design for Australian owners ready to move past a Facebook page and word of mouth, with a site they can update themselves.
Small business websites
Rock Solid Marketing provides small business website design for owner-operators and family businesses across Australia, from our office in Mildura. Most of the businesses we meet already have customers. What they don’t have is a place to send them: the Facebook page shows last year’s hours, and referrals can’t find a phone number.
You don’t need 30 pages. Most small businesses need 5 that work hard: home, services, about, a gallery or FAQ, and contact. We write the structure with you, you supply the words and photos, and you can change them yourself after launch.
Our Essentials package starts from $5,000 + GST, or 6 monthly payments of $833 + GST. If a Google Business Profile or our New Business Package will do more for you right now, we’ll tell you before we quote.

What you get
Each part is there because it saves you a phone call, a lost enquiry or an evening spent fighting with a website builder.
Essentials covers up to 5 pages. We plan each one around a question your customers ask before they call: what you do, where you work, what it costs, who you are and how to reach you.
Change your opening hours, add a staff member or swap a photo from your laptop. We show you how at handover, so small changes don’t wait on us or cost you an invoice.
Most small business web designs don’t need to start from a blank page. We use a theme designed around your industry, then shape it to your brand with 3 rounds of feedback.
Tap-to-call buttons, short forms and fast pages. Most of your customers will find you on a phone, often while standing outside or sitting in the ute.
Essentials includes domain registration (conditions apply), an SSL certificate and 12 months of hosting. After that, Australian hosting starts from $400 + GST a year.
Every package has a 6-month payment plan. On Essentials that’s 6 monthly payments of $833 + GST, which helps when the website competes with stock, wages and the BAS.

Four steps that fit around running your business, with nothing going live until you’ve approved it.
A 30-minute call about your customers, the 5 pages you need and what you already have, then a fixed price for the package that fits.
You send your business information, text and photos. We tell you exactly what each page needs, so you’re not writing blind.
We shape an industry theme to your brand and content, and you have 3 rounds of feedback on Essentials before launch.
We launch, show you how to edit the site, and stay on hand for 2 weeks of follow-up support.
Before you spend $5,000
A website earns its cost when people look you up before they buy: they’ve heard your name, seen your ute or found you on Google Maps, and want to check you’re legit. If that’s your customer, a clear site turns those lookups into calls. A good small business website designer asks about this before quoting.
Brand new, with no logo or business cards yet? Our New Business Package ($4,995 + GST) covers a logo, business cards and a landing page in one go. If you only need to show up on Google Maps, a Google Business Profile set-up ($500 + GST) is the cheaper place to start.
Good small business web design starts with what your customers need to see.

We approached Rock Solid Marketing to build our online store for our retail division and to look after our existing website. The professionalism of Sean and his team from day one was incredible, they took the time to sit down with us to discuss our exact requirements and they offered suggestions for the build which would improve the overall running of the store.
The finished result of our online store is nothing short of fantastic- it integrates with our point of sale software, it is very easy to navigate, and presents and operates as a professionally made web store should. Since completion and hand over, the back up support we receive from Rock Solid Marketing is remarkable- nothing is too much trouble and we can contact the team at any time with any questions we may have. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Sean, Janine and the team from Rock Solid Marketing for building or revamping a website, creating an online store to suit your business or with online marketing.

There are so many things to consider when starting your own business. From accounting and tax matters to branding and marketing collateral, it’s hard to know what you really need and what isn’t so essential right away. Whatever you do, don’t hold off on building a website. This is something your business should have as
So you’ve got a functioning website for your small business. Well done! If you’re a believer in the mantra “progress, not perfection”, then hopefully you didn’t wait til your website was absolutely PERFECT (whatever that means) before launching it. You did your best and got that website up and running so that you can reach
Unless you’re a web design professional, your website probably isn’t 100% technically “perfect”. That’s totally normal, because let’s be honest: you’ve probably got a million other things to focus on. So we’re going to make it easy for you by sharing a few mistakes that many (if not most) people are making with their websites.
FAQ
Can’t find what you’re after? Call us on 1800 842 022 or browse every answer on our FAQ page.
All FAQsOur small business websites start from $5,000 + GST on the Essentials package, for up to 5 pages. You can pay it as 6 monthly payments of $833 + GST. That price includes design, 3 rounds of feedback, contact forms, an SSL certificate and 12 months of hosting.
Enough to cover the pages your customers actually read, and no more. For most service businesses that’s 5 pages, which is our $5,000 + GST Essentials package. Spend more when you need 10 or more pages (Standard, $6,500 + GST) or an online store (E-commerce, from $6,000 + GST).
Usually yes, if customers look you up before they buy. A Facebook page or a Google Business Profile helps, but you don’t control how either looks or what they show. If all your work comes from repeat clients and referrals, a website can wait. We’ll say so if that’s you.
It’s the one place online you fully control. Your hours, prices, service areas and photos stay right, and people can contact you even when you’re on a job. For a small business website, the payoff is fewer phone calls asking basic questions and more calls from people ready to book.
Start with your customers’ questions, then give each one a page. We plan the 5 pages, pick an industry theme, add your words and photos, then refine it over 3 rounds of feedback. Website designers for small business should work this way, from content first rather than colours first.
Most take 4 to 8 weeks. The biggest factor is how quickly your words and photos arrive, so we give you a page-by-page list at the start. Sites with more pages, an online store or custom features take longer, and we set that timeline in your scope.
Yes. We build on a content management system, so you can change text, photos, hours and staff details without code. We show you how at handover. Rather we did it? Upfront hours are $175 + GST an hour in blocks of 3 or 5. Basic care is $275 + GST a month.
Essentials includes 12 months of hosting, so year one has no hosting bill. After that, Australian hosting is from $400 + GST a year. A care plan is optional: Basic suits a 3 to 5 page site at $275 + GST a month, with a 6-month minimum, for updates, backups and security checks.
Let’s start by scheduling a free discovery call so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit for your marketing needs.
