The build

8 questions
What does the $1,000 website include, and what costs extra?

The $1,000 AUD package is a custom website build by Turbo Studio, a Sydney web design studio run by Joanne Palazzetti. It includes up to five pages using your supplied text and images, mobile-friendly custom code, a contact form and one round of changes before launch.

Basic image resizing, cropping and optimisation, accessibility basics, page titles and descriptions, image alt text, a favicon and share image, plus sitemap, robots.txt and .htaccess files are included. The website files are yours once payment is complete.

Domain registration, hosting, upload and launch, replacing an existing site, extra pages, copywriting, AI imagery, detailed retouching, a logo refresh and ongoing updates cost extra. Optional features start from $50 to $150 for the simple scopes shown on the Features page. Larger features and integrations are quoted individually. No GST is added, and extras are agreed before work begins.

Are the demonstrations on the Features page included in the $1,000 package?

The standard build is a custom-designed website of up to five pages using your supplied content, with a contact form and the design, performance and Google-ready basics listed in the package. The five-page allowance does not include unlimited custom functionality.

The Features page shows optional possibilities, such as quote calculators, booking systems, product configurators and customer portals. These are quoted separately, based on what they need to do and any services they connect to. Third-party subscription, usage or hosting fees may also apply.

Tell us which features you would like. We agree the scope, additional build cost and any expected ongoing fees before work starts. Custom features may also need extra time beyond the standard five-business-day build.

Simple features start from $50 for a supplied brochure download, $75 for live opening hours, and $100 for a before-and-after slider, gallery or testimonial carousel. Smart enquiry forms and search filters start from $100. Quote calculators, booking pickers, custom motion and product configurators start from $150.

All feature starting prices are in AUD, with no GST added, and are additional to the $1,000 build. See all feature starting prices and what they cover ↗

How much do the optional extras cost?

Extra pages start from $150 per page; copywriting from $150 per page; AI-generated imagery from $150 per set; and a logo refresh from $250. Detailed image retouching and domain registration and renewal are quoted separately.

Hosting setup starts from $100, with ongoing hosting fees additional. A straightforward upload and launch costs $150. Website replacement starts from $350 and already includes upload and launch. Ongoing updates cost $100 per hour. All prices are in AUD, with no GST added. The scope and cost of extras are agreed before work begins.

Who is the $1,000 website package best suited to?

The package suits small businesses, sole traders and service providers that need a focused website of up to five pages to explain their services, show their work and receive enquiries. You supply the final text and images, and work directly with Joanne on the design.

If you need a large catalogue, online shop, live booking system or member area, tell us what it needs to do. Those requirements are scoped and quoted separately.

Is it really custom, or a template?

Really custom. Every site is designed for your business and coded from scratch. AI writes the first draft of the code; Joanne directs the design, checks every detail and finishes it by hand.

How long does it take?

Your site is ready for review within 5 business days of receiving your complete brief, including all content and images. The clock starts once everything has arrived.

What happens if my brief is incomplete?

We'll let you know exactly what's missing. The build and the 5 business days start once we have everything we need.

Can you do online shops or bookings?

The Fast Website package covers websites with a contact form. If you need a shop, bookings or logins, tell us in your enquiry and we'll let you know honestly whether it's a fit.

02

Content & images

2 questions
What if I don't have photos?

AI-generated imagery starts from $150 per set, with the number of finished images agreed in your quote. If you supply your own images, basic resizing, cropping and optimisation are included in the $1,000 package. Detailed retouching is quoted separately.

What if I don't have the text written?

Copywriting starts from $150 per page. We'll write or polish your page text from a short conversation about your business. Supplying your own final text is part of the standard $1,000 package.

Going live

5 questions
What does it cost to get my website live?

A straightforward new website costs $1,150 AUD for the $1,000 build plus the $150 upload and launch service, if you already have a suitable domain and compatible hosting. No GST is added.

If you need hosting setup, that starts from another $100. Domain registration, renewals, ongoing hosting and any chosen extras are additional. Replacing an existing website starts from $1,350 for the build plus the $350 replacement service, which already includes launch. We confirm the total for your project before work begins.

Can I use my own domain and hosting?

Yes. You can keep your existing domain and use your own compatible hosting. We check that it can serve the custom website and run its PHP enquiry forms before agreeing the launch work. Tell us your provider and what access you can arrange.

The $1,000 build does not include hosting charges or deployment. A straightforward upload and launch is $150; hosting setup starts from $100 where needed. Domain and hosting accounts remain in your name.

Do you do hosting and domains?

Yes. Hosting setup starts from $100, with ongoing hosting fees additional. Domain registration and renewal fees are quoted separately, and the domain is registered in your name. A straightforward upload and launch on compatible hosting costs $150. These services are optional extras, separate from the $1,000 website build.

Can you replace my website without losing Google visibility?

We can replace your existing site and set up redirects from relevant old page addresses to their new equivalents. Keeping useful content and existing addresses where appropriate helps preserve continuity for visitors and search engines. Rankings and traffic cannot be guaranteed, and search visibility can fluctuate after a change.

Website replacement starts from $350 in addition to the $1,000 build and includes upload and launch. The separate $150 launch fee is not added on top. Domain registration, hosting setup and hosting fees are additional where needed. All prices are AUD, with no GST added.

Can I make changes later?

Yes. One round of changes before launch is included in the $1,000 package. After launch, updates and changes cost $100 per hour, with the time and cost agreed before work begins. Additional revision rounds or work outside the original brief are quoted separately.

04

Money & ownership

2 questions
How do I pay?

The website build is $1,000 AUD, with no GST added. Pay a 50% deposit ($500) to book your build and the remaining $500 before launch. Any optional extras are quoted and agreed separately before work begins.

Do I own the website?

Yes. Once your final payment is made, the website files are yours. You can keep a copy and choose another developer or compatible hosting provider. Domain registration, hosting and any third-party services have their own fees and terms.
