The short answer
Most small business sites sit between two and four thousand dollars.
How much web design costs in Newcastle depends on three things: how many pages the site needs, who writes the words and whether the site has to take bookings or payments.
The figures below come from prices and written quotes Newcastle, Hunter and Sydney businesses have given for small business sites. They are real figures rather than estimates, which makes them a useful yardstick when a quote arrives.
Real prices
What sites are quoted at around Newcastle
- About $2,200 to $2,600
- A five page site: home, about, services, questions and contact.
- Around $3,990 plus GST
- A custom build with the Google listing set up alongside it, quoted by a Hunter agency.
- From $3,500
- A fixed price build, published by a Sydney business as a starting figure.
- $7,500 and beyond
- A brand being created at the same time as the site.
Most of the spread between these figures comes from the number of pages and who writes the words. You can read more about the bands in our guide to what a website costs in Newcastle.
If your current site only needs its wording and pictures updated, a full rebuild may not be the right purchase, and a good quote should say so.
Why quotes differ
Why one quote can double another
A web design quote is built up from parts. Once you know the parts, it is easy to ask about each one.
- How many pages
- A dedicated page for each service costs more to build, and it generally brings in more enquiries once it is published.
- Who writes the words
- The most common reason a build stalls for months, and a real line item when someone else writes them.
- What the site has to do
- Features such as online bookings, payments or a quoting form are software rather than design, and they are priced that way.
Hosting usually sits outside the design price. It is quoted at $30 to $79 a month, so a quote that folds hosting into a monthly figure is worth asking about.
Comparing quotes
Four questions that make two quotes comparable
Most quotes cannot be compared as written, because each assumes different things are included. These four questions turn two numbers into a like for like comparison.
- Which pages are included?
- Ask for the list of pages by name, not just a number.
- Who writes the words?
- And what happens to the timeline if you write them yourself.
- What does a change cost after launch?
- A new price list, a replacement photograph or an extra page.
- Who owns the domain and the site?
- They should be registered in your own accounts from the start.
The short version
The price of web design is mostly the number of pages, the writing and the features. Ask each builder to name all three and the quotes become easy to compare.

Questions people ask.
How much does web design cost in Newcastle?
Local quotes run from about $2,200 for a five page site to just under $4,000 for a custom build. Studios building a brand alongside the site quote figures past $7,500.
Why are two quotes for the same site so far apart?
Page count, who writes the words and whether the site takes bookings or payments. Ask about those three and most of the gap explains itself.
Is hosting included in the design cost?
Usually not. Hosting is quoted at $30 to $79 a month and is a separate ongoing cost.
Do I have to pay it all upfront?
Local practice is a deposit to start and the balance on completion, commonly half and half over about four weeks.
