Pricing
A fixed quote. In writing. Before you commit.
We don’t publish a price list, because your project isn’t a list item. We do promise this: after the free preview you’ll have a written quote for exactly what you need, it won’t change, and you’ll know what every part of it buys.
- Fixed written quotes
- Half up front, half at launch
- Month to month after three months
How we quote
Three steps, no haggling.
Free preview
Tell us about your business. In five working days you see a concept of your new homepage and we learn what the job actually involves.
A written quote
One number for your project covering design, words, build, launch and training, with what’s included spelled out. It doesn’t move.
You decide
Take it, ask for a smaller first phase, or walk away. No invoice for the preview either way.
What drives the number
So you can see where a quote comes from.
What the site has to do
A service business that needs enquiries is a different build from an online store, a multi-location clinic or a booking system. The job, not the page count, sets most of the quote.
How much has to be written
Words are included in every build. A six-page trades site and a forty-page clinical library are very different amounts of writing and review.
What it connects to
Bookings, payments, practice or job-management software, CRMs. Each integration is real work and is quoted as a line you can see.
How much you already have
Good photos, clear services and existing content shorten the job. We’ll tell you what to gather so the quote comes down.
What happens after launch
Hosting, support, SEO and ads are separate monthly fees, each quoted on its own so you only pay for what you use.
Websites
Three starting points. Every one includes design, words, build and launch.

Straight answers
Pricing questions, answered.
Why don’t you publish prices?
Because two “five-page websites” can be very different jobs, and a number on a page either overcharges the simple one or undercharges the complex one. Instead you get a fixed quote for your exact project, in writing, after the free preview, and it doesn’t move. If you want a ballpark before that, call and ask; we’ll give you a straight one.
Is the quote really fixed?
Yes. It covers the scope we agree together: design, words, build, launch and training. If you ask for more along the way (a booking system, a members’ area, another twenty pages) we quote the addition in writing before doing it, never after.
Does GST apply?
Yes, on everything, and quotes show it excluded then added, the way most NZ business-to-business quotes do. Ad spend is paid directly to Google or Meta from your own account and isn’t part of our fee.
How do payments work?
Websites: half to start, half at launch. Monthly services: billed monthly in advance, month to month after the first three.
How do your quotes compare with other NZ agencies?
A five-to-eight page business website from a NZ agency typically runs $3,990–$8,000 (Fuel Design NZ pricing guide, 2026). Our quotes come in under that range for two honest reasons: we’re small, with no account managers or boardroom to pay for, and our engine uses AI to do the repetitive parts of research, drafting and testing quickly. The judgement, design and words are still done by people; we just don’t charge you for the slow bits anymore.
What if my budget is small?
Tell us. Sometimes the right answer is a one-page site now and the rest later; sometimes it’s a builder like Rocketspark until you’re ready. We’d rather point you the right way than sell you the wrong thing.
What if I want everything?
Website plus local SEO plus ads is our most common combination for businesses that want to grow this year. We’ll bundle it sensibly, quote it as one, and tell you what to start with, usually not everything at once.
