Questions
Asked all the time
What does a website actually cost?
Launch sites start at $2,500, the Growth Engine at $4,500, and complex builds (e-commerce, bookings, portals) are quoted individually, typically $5,000 to $30,000. Every price is fixed and agreed before we start. No hourly surprises.
How does the free 48-hour concept work?
Tell us about your business, and within 48 hours you get a real homepage design concept for it. Not a template, not a wireframe: a designed homepage you can react to. If you love it, we build the rest. If not, you owe nothing and keep the feedback.
Do I really own the site?
Yes. On final payment the site, the design, the domain, and the content are 100% yours. If we part ways, everything comes with you. That is the whole point: owned, not rented.
What is the AI front desk?
A chat assistant on your site, trained on your services, prices, and FAQs. It answers questions, captures the visitor's details, and sends you qualified enquiries, including the ones that arrive at 9pm on a Sunday. It is included in Growth Engine builds and managed under the Care plan.
Why do I need a care plan?
A website is a machine, and machines need servicing. Care covers hosting, security, backups, updates, content changes, and a monthly report, from $199/mo. For scale: standalone AI chat vendors in Australia charge $150 to $350 a month for the front desk alone, before any website care. One recovered enquiry usually pays for the month, and you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
I've seen websites advertised for under $1,000. What's the difference?
Those are real offers and for some businesses they are enough. They are template builds: you typically get a layout shared with thousands of other sites, hosting billed separately after a free period, SSL charged yearly, and no ongoing care. If you just need an online business card, take one with our blessing. SiteFuse is for businesses that want a site designed around them, owned outright, and actively winning work. Different job, different tool.
How long does a build take?
Most sites launch 2 to 4 weeks after the concept is approved. E-commerce and custom builds take longer, and you get an honest timeline in the proposal before committing.
No commitment. You keep the feedback either way.
