For businesses ready to grow
Complete turnkey solution
A one-page website costs less than a 10-page site. More pages mean more design and content work.
A bespoke design tailored to your brand costs more than a template. All Saftal Design plans include custom design as standard.
Online booking, admin dashboard, client portal, multi-language — each feature adds development time and cost.
At Saftal Design, content writing is included. Most Australian competitors charge an extra $1,000 to $3,000 for copywriting.
Basic technical SEO is included in all our plans. Advanced SEO strategy is available as an add-on.
Hosting alone at $19/month or with maintenance at $29/month. Some Australian agencies charge $200-$500/month.
In 2026, a basic professional website in Australia typically costs between $500 (freelancer) and $10,000 (Australian agency). At Saftal Design, our Essential plan starts at $990 and includes custom design, content writing and basic SEO — delivered in 3-7 days.
Australian agencies carry high overheads: office rent in cities like Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane, large teams and operational costs. These expenses are passed on to clients. Our team works remotely, keeping overhead low while delivering the same quality.

No. Basic technical SEO is included in every plan: optimised page titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, image alt tags and fast loading speed. Advanced SEO strategy (keyword research, content planning, backlink building) is available as a separate service.
