FAQ
Want to Know More About My Website Design?
How much does a website cost in Cairns?
Across Cairns, a custom small business website typically runs anywhere from $1,500 to $8,000+, depending on who you work with. Agencies with studios and larger teams usually sit at the higher end. As a solo freelance designer, I offer the same custom, SEO-ready WordPress foundation starting from $1,500 — without the agency overhead.
Why is your pricing more affordable than other Cairns web design agencies?
Because I don't carry what they carry — no studio lease, no account managers, no layers between you and the person actually building your site. Just me, working directly with you. You're not getting a cheaper website; you're just not paying for someone else's overheads.
Why choose a freelance designer over an agency?
An agency gives you a team; a freelancer gives you one person personally invested in getting it right. You deal directly with me from first enquiry to launch and after — no hand-offs, no account-manager shuffle, and no agency margin baked into the price.
Does my website come with hosting and domain?
A great website needs a powerful engine. I handle all my hosting, domains and emails through my trusted Australian partner EdHosting. They specialise in lightning-fast speeds and top-tier security, making the whole process super smooth.
For around $30/month, you get the full suite: domain management, SSL security, and professional email. No offshore lag, just local reliability.
Note: Pricing is set by EdHosting and may be subject to change.
Are there any hidden monthly fees?
No. You pay for the build and design — that's it. You'll need your own hosting and domain, which I'll help you set up.
How can you build a website so fast?
Because I'm a solo freelance designer, there's no "agency bloat." When I take on your project, I focus on it 100%. If your content's ready to go, I can turn a standard site around in as little as a week.
What tech do you use to build websites?
WordPress, using the Divi ecosystem — the right balance of creative freedom and easy day-to-day management for you.
Do you only work with businesses in Cairns or across Far North Queensland too?
Cairns is home base, but I regularly work with small businesses across Far North Queensland — Port Douglas, the Atherton Tablelands, Innisfail and beyond. Most of the process happens online, so location is rarely a barrier.
Why is WordPress better than a DIY builder?
Platforms like Wix or Squarespace rent you a website. A custom WordPress site is an asset you own outright, with stronger SEO capability, faster load times, and no "template ceiling" as you grow.
Can I make changes to my website after launch?
Yes — Divi makes small text or image changes as easy as editing a Word document, and I'll walk you through it.
What if I don't want to make my own changes?
I offer ongoing support at $100/hour.
Build For Small Business
Built for Impact. Engineered to Convert.
I work with small business owners across Cairns and FNQ who need a website that actually pulls its weight. Trades and contractors, personal service, builders and construction, hospitality and retail. If your current site doesn't reflect the quality of what you actually do, that's exactly the problem I fix.
