How Much Does a Tradie Website Cost in Australia? (2026 Prices)

A tradie website in Australia costs anywhere from about $400 to $6,700 as a one-off build, or about $19 to $250 a month on a plan, going by the published prices of six businesses that sell websites to Australian tradies. Some quote GST on top and some don’t. Building it yourself on Wix or Squarespace runs about $19 to $55 a month. On top of that you’ll pay for a domain name, and usually hosting.

How much does a tradie website cost in 2026?

These are starting prices from the providers’ own pages, not quotes. We haven’t named them. For prices across all small businesses, not just trades, see our website cost guide.

What does a tradie website need?

• A page for each main service, like “hot water repairs” or “switchboard upgrades”.
• The suburbs or areas you work in.
• Real photos of your jobs, and your Google reviews.
• Your licence number where your trade requires one.
• A phone number at the top of every page that dials in one tap.
• A short quote form that sends the enquiry to your phone.

In our experience, a small site with these things beats a big site without them. If you’ve already got a site that gets visits but no calls, start with why your website isn’t getting you jobs before paying for a new one.

What are the ongoing costs?

• Domain name: a .com.au is about $10 for the first year at one big registrar, then about $23 a year. First-year prices are often a promotion, so check the renewal price.
• Hosting: often extra on one-off builds. One provider we checked charges $30 a month.
• Updates and care: one tradie package moves to $99 a month after the first year.
• SEO: a website on its own usually won’t rank across all your suburbs. See what SEO costs for tradies.

Can I get a .com.au domain as a sole trader?

Yes, if you have an ABN. Under the auDA licensing rules, you need an Australian presence, such as an ABN or being an Australian citizen or permanent resident. For a .com.au you also need to be a commercial entity, and a person with an ABN counts. The name has to match your business name, your own name, or a service you provide.

One-off build or monthly plan?

A one-off build is cheaper over a few years if you’re happy to handle hosting, updates and SEO yourself or pay for them separately. A monthly plan spreads the cost and usually covers hosting and updates, but it costs more over time. Before you sign either, ask:

• Who owns the website if I stop paying?
• Is the domain registered in my name?
• Is there a minimum term?
• Is GST included?
• Who writes the words on each page?

Here’s how we do it, so you can compare. Our Spark plan is $100 a week plus GST, with no build fee and no lock-in. It includes a website built and hosted for you, your Google Business Profile looked after, and review requests after every job. Because we build the site without charging up front, it stays ours until you’ve made 26 weekly payments, then it’s yours. Full details are on our pricing page.
