Affordable Website Design Melbourne: What You Should Actually Pay in 2026
10 April 2026 5 min read
Search "affordable website design Melbourne" and you'll see prices from $499 to $15,000. Why the huge gap — and what should you actually pay?
The 3 pricing tiers in Melbourne
- $0 – $999 templates: DIY Wix/Squarespace. Looks generic, won't rank.
- $2,500 – $5,000 freelancers: Better, but you wait 6–12 weeks and pay upfront.
- $8,000 – $15,000 agencies: Beautiful, but overkill for most small businesses.
