What small business owners say

Their own words, about working with our team.

After trying to build a website myself, it just wasn’t professional and detailed enough for what I wanted. The team built a customised website for me and it was exactly how I explained what I wanted and how I envisioned it! I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I am even getting feedback from my patients saying how easy it is to navigate.

Michelle Dodd, MD Cosmetic InjectionsMichelle DoddOwner, MD Cosmetic Injections

From start to finish, I experienced nothing but prompt communication including, so much information that was very easy to understand which made every step of the web development process, so simple!

Chad Fellows, TBC SuppliesChad FellowsGeneral Manager, TBC SuppliesRead the story

The team were incredibly patient taking us step by step through the process and continually offered support and feedback to help improve on our vision. They not only created a website that looks great but one that is user-friendly and functions well.

Brad Chapman, BIC ConstructionBrad ChapmanOwner and Project Manager, BIC Construction

They took charge of the project from day 1 and handed over before the agreed date. Exceptional communication, professionalism and work ethics; we will definitely use them again for any web-related projects we might and highly recommend them for their service.

Gaurab Bhandari, APSPTGaurab BhandariAPSPT

We have had two websites developed for our companies, the process was smooth and efficient with clear communication throughout and they have provided great ongoing support. We would thoroughly recommend them!

Compare all website packages

Built for the way
small businesses work.

You do not have a marketing team or spare hours. The website and the marketing have to earn their keep.

Trades and home services

Plumbers, electricians, builders, cleaners and landscapers who need the phone to ring with the right jobs.

Shops, cafes and local venues

Local businesses that need opening hours, menus, bookings and directions to be easy to find.

Clinics and professional services

Accountants, allied health, consultants and studios that win work through trust and clear information.

Online stores

Small ecommerce businesses that need product pages people can find, understand and buy from.

What a good small business
website includes.

Small business web design is not a smaller version of a corporate site. It is a short list of things done properly.

Pages that answer real questions

What you do, where you work, what it involves and how to get started.

Built for phones first

Most small-business customers arrive on a phone. The site has to work there before anywhere else.

An enquiry path that works

A tested contact or booking journey, so a message reaches the right person.

Fast and easy to use

Quick pages, readable text and keyboard access. Good for customers and for search.

Search foundations

Clear titles, sensible page structure and accurate business details from day one.

Ready for AI answers

Plain, factual content that AI assistants can read and describe correctly.

Editing you can manage

A way to update your own text and images, shown to you before handover.

Simple measurement

Know how many people visit and how many get in touch, without a complicated dashboard.

AI does the heavy lifting.
People stay in charge.

AI is changing how websites are built and how customers find a business. We use it where it saves you time and money, and keep a person responsible for everything your customers see.

See how an AI-built website works

AI speeds up the build

We use tools such as Claude and ChatGPT to draft, design and develop faster. That keeps a small-business budget focused on what matters.

People check the result

Every claim, page and enquiry path is reviewed by a person before your customers see it.

Automation with a safety net

We start with one workflow, keep approvals where they matter and make failures visible.

Your information stays yours

Customer details are not pasted into public AI tools. You keep ownership of your accounts and content.

Small business web design questions, answered.

Straight answers to what owners ask us most. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

What is small business web design?

Small business web design is planning and building a website sized for a small business. It focuses on a few clear pages, a simple way for customers to get in touch, search foundations and a site the owner can update, rather than a large custom platform.

How much does a small business website cost?

The cost depends on the package, the number of pages and the features you need, such as bookings or online payments. After a discovery call we send a written proposal with a clear quote before any work starts. Hosting, domain names and software subscriptions are listed separately.

How long does it take to build a small business website?

A SmallBiz Launch website is usually live in about 2 weeks. A Design+ website, which includes discovery, brand strategy and custom design by a senior designer, usually takes 6 to 8 weeks.

What website packages does SmallBiz offer?

There are three. Launch is a quick AI-built website. Design+ adds discovery, brand strategy and custom design, and is the one we recommend for most businesses. Growth+ adds ongoing website care and Google Ads support.

What is an AI-built website?

An AI-built website is designed and developed with help from AI tools such as Claude and ChatGPT. AI speeds up drafting, design and code. People still plan the site, check every claim and test that enquiries work before it goes live.

Can I build my own website with Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Claude and ChatGPT can produce a good first version of a simple website. The harder parts are accurate content, mobile and accessibility checks, hosting, a working enquiry form and keeping the site updated. We can start from your prototype and turn it into a working website.

Do you build WordPress and Shopify websites?

Yes. We build WordPress websites and Shopify online stores for small businesses, as well as AI-built sites on newer platforms. We recommend the platform your business can edit and maintain.

Will my business show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?

No one can guarantee it. AI assistants draw on clear, accurate and consistent information about your business. A well-structured website, a clear brand and useful answers to customer questions improve your chances, and we measure what actually changes.

Do you offer SEO, Google Ads and social media ads for small businesses?

Yes. We help small businesses with SEO, Google Ads, and Facebook and Instagram ads. We usually recommend starting with one channel, measuring enquiries and adding more only when the first one is working.

Where is SmallBiz based?

SmallBiz is an Australian business with a team in Sydney and a team in Melbourne. We work with small businesses across Australia by phone and video, and have been supporting local businesses for 10 years.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. We set up an editing approach that suits your team and show you how to change text and images before handover. You own your domain, your content and your accounts.
