How Payment & Revisions Work
Payment Structure
All projects require a 50% deposit before work begins. The remaining 50% is due upon completion, before the site goes live. Deposits are refundable if you're not happy after the first design draft — see our Refund Policy for details.
What Counts as a Revision Round?
One revision round = one consolidated list of feedback. You review the site, write up everything you'd like changed, and send it through in one go. I action all of it, then send it back. That's one round. Individual back-and-forth messages aren't separate rounds — only formal batched feedback counts. Revision rounds expire 30 days after the initial build is delivered.
What's Not Included in a Revision?
A revision covers changes to what was agreed in the original scope — layout tweaks, colour changes, rewording text, swapping images. It does not cover adding entirely new pages, new features, or functionality that wasn't part of the original brief. Those are quoted separately.
Business Email (Professional Plan)
Your Professional package includes 12 months of business email hosting (you@yourdomain.com). After 12 months, it continues as part of the Hosting & Maintenance plan, or can be maintained separately for A$9/month.
What Happens If I Stop Paying for Hosting?
Your website lives on my server, which has real ongoing costs. If you cancel the maintenance plan, your site stays live for 60 days from your last payment. During that time you can either switch to the hosting-only plan (A$49/mo), arrange to move your site to another host (I'll hand over all your code), or do nothing — after 60 days the site comes down. The build fee is non-refundable — you paid for the build, you received the build. Your code is always yours. Full details in our Terms & Conditions.
My Process
Simple, straightforward — no corporate nonsense.
Discovery Call
We have a quick chat about what you need. I'll ask about your business, your goals, and what you want the website to do. No jargon, no sales pitch.
Quote & Deposit
I'll send you a clear quote with exactly what's included. Once you're happy, you pay the 50% deposit and I get started.
Design & Build
I design and code your website from scratch. You'll see progress along the way and can give feedback before anything goes live.
Review & Revise
Once the build is done, you review everything. I'll action your feedback within your included revision rounds until you're happy with the result.
Final Payment & Launch
You pay the remaining balance, I deploy your site to a VPS, set up your domain, configure SSL, and make sure everything is running perfectly. You're live.
Ongoing Support
Your first 30 days of post-launch support are included. After that, the monthly maintenance plan keeps your site updated, backed up, and secure. You focus on your business — I handle the tech.
Common Questions
How long does a website take to build?
A Starter site typically takes 1-2 weeks. Professional builds with databases and e-commerce take 3-5 weeks depending on complexity.
Do I need to buy hosting separately?
No. The Professional plan includes VPS hosting setup, and the monthly maintenance plan covers ongoing hosting costs. For Starter clients, hosting is available through the maintenance plan or the hosting-only option.
Can I update the site myself?
With the Professional plan, you get a custom admin panel to manage your content. For the Starter plan, I handle updates for you as part of the maintenance package (up to 2 per month).
What if I already have a domain?
No problem. I'll configure your existing domain to point to your new website. No extra charge for that.
Do I own the website code?
Yes. Once the project is paid in full, the code is yours. If you ever want to move to a different host or developer, I'll hand over everything. No lock-in.
What if I need something that's not listed here?
Every project is different. If you need custom functionality, a larger site, or something specific — get in touch and I'll put together a tailored quote.
