Hollis Plumbing is made up. It shows the kind of draft you’d get: plain, quick and easy on a phone.

A Starter site that does the job properly.

Everything a customer looks for before they choose you, set out clearly.

One to five pages

Home, services, about, contact: whatever your business needs, and nothing it doesn’t.

Home Services About Contact One more

7 days

Live within a week of your deposit

Once you’re happy with the draft and the deposit is paid, your site is online within seven days.

Looks right on phones

Built for phones first, because that’s where most of your customers will find you. It works on tablets and computers too.

Your services, photos and opening hours

Written plainly, so people know what you do and when you’re open.

A map and a contact form

Customers can find you and send you a message. Messages go straight to your email.

Not included: online shops, logins, or anything that stores your customers’ details. If you need bookings or payments, I’ll connect a trusted service you already know rather than build one from scratch.

Four steps, all by email.

You reply when it suits you, and everything we agree is in writing.

  1. Tell me about your business

    Use the form below or send an email. A few lines about what you do is enough to start. Photos help, but they’re not essential.

  2. I build a draft

    You get a private link to a working draft of your site. It costs you nothing and you’re under no obligation.

  3. You ask for changes by email

    Reply with anything you’d like different: wording, photos, colours, the order of things. I make the changes and send you a fresh link.

  4. Pay the deposit, go live, pay the rest

    When you’re happy, you pay a 50% deposit and your site goes live within a week. You pay the other 50% once it’s up and working.

Optional: the care plan. If you’d like me to look after it from there, the care plan covers hosting, the contact form and small edits. See what it costs.

Straight prices, no packages to decode.

All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST.

Launch offer

Starter site

A$700

Rises to A$1,200 after my first three clients. The launch price is in exchange for an honest testimonial once your site is live. Paid in two halves: 50% deposit, 50% at launch.

Optional

Care plan

A$49 a month

Hosting, the contact form and small edits. Cancel any time and you get your site files to keep. Without it, I hand you the files to host yourself.

Plus your domain name, about A$20–25 a year, paid to the registrar by you. I’ll send you simple steps to set it up.

Questions people ask first.

Something else on your mind? Email me and ask.

Do I have to talk on the phone?

No. Everything happens by email, so you can reply when you have a minute, and we both have a written record of what was agreed. Nothing gets lost or misremembered.

What if I don’t like the draft?

Then you pay nothing. Tell me what’s not working and I’ll have another go, or we leave it there. No hard feelings.

Who owns the website and the domain?

You do. The domain is registered in your name and paid to the registrar by you. If you ever leave the care plan, I send you all your site files.

Can it take bookings or payments?

Yes. Rather than build a booking or payment system from scratch, I connect a trusted service that already does it well. You sign up to it yourself, so your customers’ details stay with a provider built to keep them safe.

What’s in the care plan?

For A$49 a month I host your site, keep the contact form working, and make small edits when you email me: new prices, changed hours, a fresh photo, a line of text. Cancel any time with an email. You keep your domain and get your site files.

Hi, I’m Jose.

Front Gate Websites is a new, small business based in Townsville, QLD, and it’s just me. I won’t pretend to be a big agency with a long client list. There isn’t one yet.

What I do have is an obsession with detail. Every page is checked on every screen size before you see it, and a wonky gap or a typo gets fixed, not left for later.

Jose

Tell me a bit about your business. I’ll reply by email, and you’ll never get a phone call.

I’ll only use what you send to reply about your website. Privacy
