A new website Victor Harbor customers can find and trust
Starting a business on the south coast or finally ready for a proper site? I build a new website Victor Harbor locals and visitors can use on any phone, with a fixed price and a free first year of maintenance.
New ventures and businesses that have put a website off for years
Some people come to me a month before they open the doors. A new cafe, a mobile dog groomer, a holiday rental that has just been renovated. Others have traded for ten years on word of mouth and a business card and know it is time for something better.
Both are in the same spot. There is nothing online that properly explains what they do, so new customers either cannot find them or find a competitor first. A simple, well built site fixes that.
If you only have a Facebook page right now, have a look at my Facebook to website page as well. It covers moving photos and reviews across.
The basics done properly rather than every feature at once
Who you are, what you do and where you work, written so a stranger understands it in a few seconds.
Clear pages or sections for each service, with prices or a starting point if that suits your trade.
Tap to call, an enquiry form that lands in your inbox and a Google Map so people know where you are.
Proper titles, headings and a Google Business Profile link so search engines know where you trade.
You do not need everything sorted before I start
New business owners often worry they need a finished logo, perfect photos and pages of copy before ringing a web designer. You do not. A rough idea of your services and the area you cover is enough to start.
Phone photos are fine if they are sharp and well lit. I can also use quality stock images of the coast, the vineyards or your type of work to fill gaps until you have your own. If writing is hard, tell me about your business on a call and I will shape the words for you to check.
The one thing worth sorting early is your domain name. If you have not registered it yet, I can help you pick something short and easy to say over the phone.
Three fixed price packages, all including GST
Each package comes with a free first year of WordPress maintenance. Domain and hosting are extra.
$880
A tidy one page site for a new venture that wants to look legitimate fast. Ideal while you are still finding your feet.
$2200
A page for each service, room type or product range. The best fit for most new businesses that want to grow on Google.
From $3300
For launches that need an online shop, bookings or a members area from day one.
Go live before the busy months, not in the middle of them
On the Fleurieu the calendar matters. If you run accommodation, tours or hospitality, the time to launch is well before the summer holidays and the start of whale season. Google takes a little while to find and trust new pages, so a site that goes live in spring has a head start by December.
Tradies and service businesses are steadier, but even here there are peaks. Gutter cleaning before winter, air conditioning before summer, garden work in spring. I help you think about when people search for your work and plan the launch around it.
Once you are live, I can keep things moving with local SEO so your new site keeps climbing for searches around Victor Harbor and nearby towns.
Clear steps and no jargon along the way
You deal with me from the first call to launch day. Nothing gets handed off to someone you have never spoken to.
1
A relaxed phone or video call about your business, your customers and what you want the website to do.
2
I send a clear price based on the package that suits you, with no hidden extras added later.
3
I build the site and send you a preview link. You can share it with family or staff and send me changes.
4
I connect your domain, submit the site to Google and show you how to edit your own pages.
What people ask before their first proper site
Got a question that isn’t listed? Ring or message me and you’ll hear back from me, not a call centre, within one working day.
Website Design Victor Harbor builds new websites for businesses launching or growing in Victor Harbor and across the Fleurieu. It is run by Nick, who has been making websites since 1995 and handles the whole job himself. Packages start at $880 including GST, with a free first year of maintenance.
A new website for a Fleurieu small business usually takes two to four weeks once the words and photos are ready. A single page site can be quicker. The biggest delay is normally gathering content, which is why I help with writing and can use stock photos to fill gaps.
A Victor Harbor business does not need a polished logo before starting a website, although having one helps. A simple text logo in your chosen colours works well to begin with. If you want a proper logo designed, I can point you to a graphic designer and slot it in later.
A new south coast business should put its services, service area, contact details, opening hours and a few real photos on its first website. Reviews and prices help too if you have them. Keep it short and clear, then add more pages as the business grows.
Nick at Website Design Victor Harbor can help you choose and register a domain name for your new business. A good domain is short, easy to spell and easy to say on the phone. A .com.au address suits most Australian businesses and gives you a matching email address too.
A single page website is often enough for a new business near Victor Harbor that offers one or two services. It costs $880 and shows the key details on one scrolling page. If you plan to target several services or towns on Google, the $2200 Complete Website is a better long term fit.
Tell me about the business you are starting and when you want to open. I will suggest the right package and a realistic timeline.
