Most agencies quote after a call; some publish their packages. We collected the published starting prices we could verify on each provider's own site, kept their wording on inclusions and GST, and dated every figure.
Published starting prices from the providers we checked ran from $250 (a one-page site with a year of hosting and a domain) to $1,895 inc GST (a 5-page site). Quote-led agencies don't publish packages; one states that website costs can range from $1,500 to $100,000+. SIX9's packages are A$169, A$299 and A$449 once for up to 3, 5 and 8 pages. Some providers, such as Lime Virtual Studio, include a year of hosting and a domain, which SIX9's website packages don't — so compare first-year totals, not headline prices.
Providers we found in Melbourne web design searches that publish prices on their own site. AUD, as each provider states it.

Every option here is the right choice for someone. Be honest about how much of the work you want to do yourself.
Lime's packages include a year of hosting and a domain, so we add our assumption to both options from the year they stop being included.

Published starting prices from the providers we checked ran from $250 to $1,895 inc GST for small-business sites. Quote-led agencies price larger projects individually — one publishes a range of $1,500 to $100,000+.
No. Some providers publish lower starting prices, and some, such as Lime Virtual Studio, include a year of hosting and a domain, which SIX9's website packages don't. Compare first-year totals for the page count you need.
They're focused: fixed page counts, your supplied content, consolidated revision rounds and hosting kept separate. A quote-led agency prices a larger scope, which can include strategy, copywriting, a bigger team and ongoing support.
We show GST exactly as each provider states it; most pages we checked didn't say. SIX9 Design isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added to SIX9's prices.

Competitor prices are taken from each provider’s own pricing page, or from the named third-party source where the provider’s page couldn’t be checked. Prices, promotions and taxes change — confirm the current price with the provider before you buy. SIX9 prices come from our published packages.
