We build your full website before you pay a cent — real, working, ready to preview. Review it, request tweaks, only pay if you love it.
$2,000 · typical agency: $5,000

Launch now, pay over time. Same site, same support — pick what suits your cashflow.
Small businesses have been overcharged and underserved by the agency model for too long. Five-figure quotes. Three-month timelines. Deposits paid before a single pixel exists.
SiteFirst exists to flip that. We build your website first — live, real, on your phone in 24 hours. You only pay if it makes your business look better. No deposit. No contract. No risk.
That's the standard websites should've had all along. We're here to make it the new normal.
There isn't one. We'd rather build the site, show you it works, and let the result do the selling. Most agencies make you pay first and hope. We do it the other way around.
Correct. You'll see a live preview link in your inbox before any invoice. No card on file, no deposit, no commitment.
Tell us. We do one revision round if you're close. If you're not — you walk. No invoice, no follow-up, no hard feelings.
Send it through. We'll show you what it could be. If you prefer what you've got — no invoice, no follow-up. Most people are surprised at the difference.
Because we build your site first — you only pay once it's live and you love it. No deposits, no risk.
You do. Domain in your name, hosting in your name, code yours forever.
Preview link in your inbox within 24 hours of submitting your build request. Live within 3–5 business days once you say go.
We'll let you know a month out. Renew with us at $20/month, or take the code and host it anywhere — your call.
Yes. We write everything — headlines, service descriptions, about page — based on the info you give us in the build form. You review, we tweak.
Nope. We'll set you up with clean, professional type-based branding that looks intentional. Or bring your own logo and we'll use it.
Go Live includes one revision round before launch plus ongoing maintenance (small text/image swaps, contact details, hours). Bigger redesigns are quoted separately — fair rates, no surprises.
Yes — see the GO LIVE + SEO plan. Monthly reports, keyword targeting, on-page optimisation, quarterly content updates and local listings management for $400/month.
Of course. If you already own one we'll wire it up. If not, we'll register it for you in your name.
Every site is mobile-first. Most of your customers will be on a phone — your site will look sharp on every screen.
We're based in Melbourne and most clients are Australian, but we'll happily build for anyone in an English-speaking market.
Trades, hospo, health, retail, professional services, beauty, fitness, real estate, creative — we've shipped across most of them. If you've got a business, we can build the site.
Bank transfer or card. Invoice arrives after you approve the preview, payable within 7 days.
Yes. $497 upfront, then $97/week for 16 weeks once you approve the preview. No credit checks, no lock-in beyond the schedule, cancel the project anytime before approval.
$2,000 if you pay in full — simplest and lowest total. $2,049 total on the weekly plan ($497 + $97/week × 16) — a small premium for the flexibility of spreading it out. Same site, same support either way.
We build it first. You only pay if you love it.
Pay in full, or spread it out from $97/week.
"The first preview came through ridiculously fast — it instantly felt more aligned with the actual vibe of BLK.MLK. Live within the week."
