Small businesses in Australia
01
Breakfast menus, coffee, opening hours and directions are what people check first. We lead with good photos and keep the menu something you can change yourself. Market stalls and food trucks get a “where to find us this week” page you can update from your phone.
02
Electricians, plumbers, landscapers and cleaners need a page per service, the suburbs they cover, photos of jobs and a quote form that arrives in WhatsApp while they are still on site.
03
For photographers, yoga studios and therapists, the site is a portfolio and a booking tool: galleries, packages and a form to check availability.
Local search and language
Australians search by service and suburb: “cafe Fitzroy”, “electrician Parramatta”, “wedding photographer Perth”. We write your pages around those searches and keep your Google Business Profile consistent with your site.
An English site is what most Australian businesses need. If many of your customers prefer another language, a second version can be added, each language on its own web address.
Prices on your site are shown in Australian dollars; our packages are priced in pounds incl. VAT. We plan calls around your local time.
How we work
We schedule calls around your hours, whether you are in Sydney or Perth. A short call after you close up often works well; previews come through WhatsApp so you can look at them when it suits you.
Packages: Starter £310 (3 working days), Business £700 (5 working days), E-commerce £1,080 (7 working days), each with the first year of domain and hosting. Services: business website · e-commerce website · logo and brand identity · Google Ads management.
Business details
ASIC's guidance says a business must show its name wherever it trades to the public, and that its ABN and business name should be printed on invoices and receipts. A business also needs an ABN, or must have applied for one, before ASIC will register a business name.
On a website this is simple to follow through: we put your trading name and ABN in the footer so they match your invoices, and set them out on a short business details page if you want one. You send us the details and we place them where visitors expect to find them.
Privacy page
The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner explains that most small businesses, meaning those with an annual turnover of $3 million or less, are not covered by the Privacy Act 1988. Some are covered whatever their turnover, including health service providers, businesses that trade in personal information, contractors under a Commonwealth contract, and businesses that have opted in to the Act.
Whether or not the Act applies to you, a site with a booking form, a quote request or an email list collects personal details, and a privacy page tells visitors what you do with them. We prepare it during the build, written around the forms and tools your site actually uses.
Your web address
auDA, which sets the rules for .au names, links a .com.au registrant to Australia through its registrant type: an Australian registered company with an ACN, a business name registered with ASIC, a sole trader or partnership with an ABN, a foreign company licensed to trade in Australia with an ARBN, or the owner or applicant of an Australian registered trade mark. The registrant itself must be a legal entity, so a business name is held by its owner rather than listed as the registrant.
The name must also have a close and substantial connection to the registrant: a product it sells, a service it provides, an event it organises, an activity it teaches or facilitates, a venue it operates or a profession its employees practise. Our packages include the first year of domain and hosting, and our guide to building a small business website covers the steps from choosing a name to launch.
Getting paid
PayID lets people receive instant payments into a bank account using an identifier such as a phone number, email address or ABN instead of a BSB and account number. It runs on the New Payments Platform, which went live in February 2018, and the payer sees the name linked to the PayID before paying. Which methods an online shop offers at checkout depends on the payment provider you choose. Our e-commerce website service covers the shop setup, and the Shopify and WooCommerce cost comparison sets out how the two main platforms compare.
