Why businesses choose Web Starter

The website is always the thing that gets pushed down the list.

Plenty of small businesses run with no website at all, an outdated page that no longer reflects what they do, or a DIY site that doesn't inspire much confidence. It works — until a customer searches for you and finds nothing, or a competitor simply looks more established.

The hard part usually isn't deciding a website matters. It's getting one launched properly without it becoming a large custom project with unclear costs and too many moving parts.

Web Starter is a clear price, a clear scope and a site that stays supported after launch.

You'll recognise the moment
  • Customers can't find you, or find a Facebook page instead of a website
  • The current site is out of date and nobody has time to fix it
  • You don't want to manage the technical side yourself
  • You want one provider handling updates, support and ongoing changes
  • You want a package that's affordable, practical and easy to understand
What's included

Everything in the $799 build.

Your website

  • Portfolio-style business website
  • Up to five core pages (Home, Services, About Us, Contact and one more)
  • Mobile-friendly design
  • Contact form setup
  • Basic SEO setup
  • Social links
  • Content populated from your text and images
  • Standard launch support

In practice

Instead of pointing customers at a Facebook page — or at nothing — you can send them to a proper website with your services explained, your contact details in one place and a form that lands in your inbox.

Business outcome

Faster time to launch, a more professional first impression and a clearer digital presence for a new or growing business.

Web Starter suits sole traders, service businesses, consultants, local operators and small businesses that want to get online quickly with a clean, reliable site — powered and supported by EduCom IT.

Hosting & support

FAQ

Web Starter — your questions answered.

What is the Web Starter package?

Web Starter is a fixed-price website package for micro and small businesses. For $799 inc GST we build a professional, mobile-friendly portfolio-style website of up to five core pages — Home, Services, About Us, Contact and one more — with a contact form, basic SEO setup, social links and your content populated for you. It then runs on one of our hosting and support plans so it stays online and kept up to date.

What does Web Starter cost in total?

$799 inc GST for the build, plus a hosting and support plan: Hosting Basic at $59 per month (includes up to two content updates a month) or Hosting Plus at $109 per month (includes up to ten). So a typical first year is $799 plus $708 on Hosting Basic.

Why is a hosting plan required?

Because a website that nobody maintains stops working for the business. Every Web Starter site is hosted and supported by EduCom IT, which means it stays online, stays secure and actually gets updated — you email us the change and we make it, rather than you learning a website builder at 9pm.

Do you write the content for me?

We populate the site using the text and images you supply, and we'll guide you on what each page needs. Extensive custom copywriting and professional photography aren't part of the fixed price — if you need them we can scope them separately or point you to someone.

How many pages do I get?

Up to five core pages. For most sole traders and service businesses that covers Home, Services, About Us, Contact and one more — a gallery, a pricing page or a specific service page. Extra pages can be added as an add-on.

Is the website mobile-friendly?

Yes. Every Web Starter site is built to work properly on phones and tablets, not just desktop. Most small business traffic arrives on a phone, so this isn't optional.

What does 'basic SEO setup' actually mean?

Page titles and meta descriptions, sensible heading structure, image alt text, a clean URL structure and the technical basics search engines look for. It gives you a solid, indexable foundation. Ongoing SEO campaigns and content marketing are a separate service.

Do I need to buy a domain name?

You'll need one, but if you don't have it yet we'll help. You can register through our domain service and we'll connect it — and if you're also setting up business email, we'll make sure the domain, the website and the email all work together.

What if I want to sell products online?

That's Web Starter Store — a Shopify store set up and styled for your brand with products, payments and shipping configured, for $1,299 inc GST plus hosting and support.

Can the website be changed later?

Yes. Content updates are included in your hosting plan each month — two on Hosting Basic, ten on Hosting Plus. Larger changes like new page templates or added functionality are quoted separately.

Every engagement starts with a short discovery conversation so we can confirm the right package, the content we'll need and the hosting plan that fits.
