The short answer
A custom website for an Australian tradie or small business typically costs $1,500 to $3,500+ with Codeteki, depending on scope. That's the honest range — not a "starting from" teaser price that doubles once you ask what's actually included.
What actually moves the price within that range
- Number of pages — a single-page site for a sole trader costs less than a multi-service, multi-suburb site for a growing team.
- How custom the design is — a tailored design built around your brand costs more than working from an existing structure.
- What's built in from day one — sites that include lead-capture tools (AI chat widget, instant quote calculator) from the start cost more than a site with none of that.
- Content — whether you're supplying your own copy and photos, or need that written and sourced as part of the project.
There's no fixed package tier for this — you get a quote based on what your business actually needs, not a generic template price that assumes every business is the same.
What you get as standard
Every Codeteki website is mobile-responsive and SEO-ready from launch — not an afterthought bolted on later. It's built specifically for your business, not a stock template with your logo swapped in.
The ongoing tools most tradies add — real pricing
A website is the foundation, but two tools consistently turn more visitors into actual jobs: an AI chat widget that answers questions and captures leads while you're on the job, and an instant quote widget that gives visitors a ballpark price instead of a "call for a quote" wall. Both are separate monthly products (ongoing hosting and AI usage costs, unlike the one-off website build), not bundled into the website price.

Why not just use a cheaper DIY builder?
Wix or Squarespace can look cheaper upfront. The real cost shows up later: hours spent configuring it yourself, and — for a business relying on its site to bring in work — the absence of the lead-capture tools above. A site that quietly loses enquiries because there's no instant quote option or after-hours chat coverage costs more in missed jobs than the difference in build price.

Every business is different, so the fastest way to get an exact figure is a quick conversation about what you actually need — not a generic quiz that spits out a template price.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a website cost for a tradie business in Australia?
Most Codeteki tradie website projects fall between $1,500 and $3,500+, depending on the number of pages, how custom the design is, and whether tools like an AI chat widget or instant quote calculator are built in from the start. There's no fixed package — you get a quote based on what you actually need, not a generic template price.
What's included in that price?
A mobile-responsive, SEO-ready website built specifically for your business — not a template with your logo dropped in. Exact inclusions depend on scope, which is why pricing is a range rather than a single number.
Do I need to pay separately for an AI chatbot or quote calculator?
They're separate monthly products, not bundled into the one-off website price, because they're ongoing services (hosting, AI usage, updates) rather than a one-time build. See the pricing tables above for current rates.
Is there a cheaper option than a fully custom website?
DIY builders (Wix, Squarespace) are cheaper up front but cost real time to set up properly and rarely include the lead-capture tools (AI chat, instant quotes) that actually turn visitors into jobs. For a business relying on its website to bring in work, the gap in leads captured usually outweighs the price difference within the first few months.
