Ask a question

Launch offer: a one-page website plus a Google listing tidy-up, $249 all up. Your domain name is extra (usually about $15 to $30 a year, registered in your name). Just want the Google tidy-up? That's $149. Limited to our first 5 Melbourne businesses. Once they're gone, our standard prices apply.

What you get for $249: the Google Business Profile tidy-up described below, plus a one-page website built from one of our templates, with your services, hours, contact details, a map and click-to-call, set up on your own domain. One round of changes is included. A round is one combined list of changes.

What you send us: your text (services, hours, phone, address or service area), your logo if you have one, and any photos. If you don't have photos, we use free-licence stock images or simple graphics.

Not included: extra pages, custom design, online booking or payments systems, copywriting, photography, logos, ads and ongoing updates. We're happy to quote on any of those.

Domain and hosting: your domain (usually about $15–$30 a year) is registered in your name and paid by you. We put the site on a free Netlify plan set up in your name, so there's usually no hosting bill, subject to the host's own terms, which can change. If you ever move to a paid plan, that cost is yours.

Paying: There's no deposit. We do the work, you review it, and you only pay once you've approved it, before it goes live. If you only want the tidy-up, it's $149 once it's done.

Approval: once we send your draft, you've got 14 days to approve it or send your changes. If we don't hear from you, we'll check in once. If there's still no reply after that, the spot goes to the next business and nothing is owed. You can still go ahead later at our standard prices, or at $249 if spots are still open.

Showing our work: we'd like to show your finished site on our website and social pages as an example of our work. You can say no, or ask us to take it down at any time, and your price stays the same.

Ownership: once you've paid, the site content and design files we made for you are yours. Full details are in our terms.

Google Business Profile tidy-up on its own: $149, one-off. We check your categories and hours (including any special hours you give us), tidy up your services or menu and your business description, and give you a simple kit for asking every customer for an honest review. You add us as a manager, so we never need your password, and we remove our access when we're done. You pay by invoice once it's done, with no deposit. We're not registered for GST, so no GST is charged. We can't guarantee rankings, calls or reviews, because Google decides those.

Standard payment: 50% deposit to start, and the balance when you approve the work, before it goes live. Launch offer clients pay no deposit, and the $249 is only paid once you've approved the site, before it goes live. Your domain (usually about $15–$30 a year) is registered in your name and paid by you. Online stores are from $999, with a 50% deposit. The store platform's monthly fee and card or payment fees are paid by you directly to the platform and aren't included. Not included unless quoted: multi-page sites, custom logos, photography, paid advertising and copywriting in other languages.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us

Can't see yours? Email LinwoodStudiosTeam@gmail.com and we'll answer it plainly.

Is the free website check really free?

Yes. Send us your business name and a link to your website or Google listing (or tell us you don't have one), and we'll email you a short written note on what could make your online presence work harder for you (it may include a quote). Nothing gets built, and there's no obligation.

How does the launch offer work?

For our first 5 Melbourne businesses, it's a simple one-page website plus a Google Business Profile tidy-up for $249 all up, with one round of changes. Your domain name is extra (usually about $15 to $30 a year, registered in your name). Just want the Google tidy-up? That's $149 on its own. There's no deposit. We do the work, you review it, and you only pay once you've approved it, before it goes live. We'd like to show your finished site as an example of our work, but you can say no or ask us to take it down any time, and your price stays the same. Just ask and we'll tell you how many spots are left. Once all 5 are taken, the offer ends and we'll update this page.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your business details (services, hours, phone, address or service area), your logo if you have one, and any photos you'd like to use. If you don't have photos, we use free-licence stock images or simple graphics. We'll send you a short checklist.

How fast is “live within 72 hours”?

For the Starter Website, the 72 hours starts once we have the 50% deposit and your content (launch offer sites have no deposit, so they start once we have your content). Online stores take up to 10 business days from the deposit and your product details. If content or feedback takes longer, the timeline moves with it, and we'll always tell you where things are up to.

Who owns the website and domain?

You do. Your domain is registered in your name and paid by you (usually about $15–$30 a year). Once the project is paid in full, the website content and design files we made for you are yours.

Are there ongoing costs?

For a Starter Website, hosting is set up on a reliable free or low-cost host, so many sites only pay for the domain. Care plans are optional. For an online store, you pay the store platform's own monthly fee and card fees directly (typically around $42–$56 a month for the platform), and we'll walk you through those numbers before you decide.

How do I pay?

We send you an invoice. Standard projects: 50% to start and the balance when you approve the site, before it goes live. Launch offer clients pay no deposit. The $249 is paid in full once you've approved the site, before it goes live. The $149 Google Business Profile tidy-up is paid in full once it's done, with no deposit. We don't take payments through this website.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. You get a short how-to guide at handover. If you'd rather not, the care plan covers small monthly updates like hours, prices and specials.

Do you guarantee Google rankings or more sales?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We set up the basics properly (page titles, descriptions, business details and your Google Business Profile) so Google can understand your business, but rankings and sales depend on many things outside our control.

Are the designs on this page real client websites?

No. They are concept designs for sample businesses, made to show the style of work. The business names, phone numbers and addresses in them are placeholders.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Websites are a one-off price. Care plans are month to month and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected by anything in our terms.
