Improve the website you already have
If your site explains your services, works on a phone and is easy to maintain, start with the specific gap: outdated information, an unclear question or a broken enquiry path. A rebuild may be unnecessary.
Canberra guide
Which website approach fits your Canberra business?
Start with what customers need to check and what you need to manage. Then choose between improving your existing site, building it yourself or having it managed for you.
Start with the customer
What does someone need to know before contacting you?
A referral may visit to check your services and past work. A new prospect may need your service area, availability and contact details. Choose a website around those tasks, not a target number of pages.

Compare your options
Three sensible starting points.
Use a DIY website builder
Consider this if you want to make your own edits and can spend time preparing content, configuring the site and checking it. Compare the subscription and features you actually need; someone in your business still owns the ongoing work.
Choose a managed website
Consider this if you need a new or replacement site and want a provider to handle the build and agreed upkeep. You still supply business facts and approvals. Check edit charges, support responsibilities and exit rights before choosing.
Compare the whole agreement.
- Total cost: compare setup, recurring fees, the initial term, tax, domain costs and the edits you expect to request. A low monthly figure alone is not the full commitment.
- Content and review: establish who supplies wording, photos and business facts, and what you can review before launch. Ask whether original writing is included.
- Ongoing responsibility: agree who updates information, maintains the site and checks enquiry delivery. Ask how to request a change and what it costs.
- Control and exit: distinguish your domain and content from the website code. Ask what remains available, what can be exported and what stops if you leave.
- Finding customers: separate basic search setup from ongoing marketing. Ask for relevant evidence, not guaranteed rankings or lead counts.
Infoseed’s managed website is AUD $499 setup plus $49 per month, excluding GST, with a 12-month minimum and minimum total commitment of $1,087 excluding GST. See Website pricing for the full scope and monthly update allowance. Our managed-service terms explain ownership and exit. The working managed site is non-transferable; your content and data export rights are preserved. Choose another approach if you need to take the working website and code to a different host.
The standard scope is up to five standard pages in one approved visual direction, using your copy and assets with light tidying. Pre-launch refinements stay within the agreed brief. Extra pages, new directions, original writing and integrations are quoted before extra work begins.
For broader planning, business.gov.au’s website setup guide covers goals, hosting, content and launch checks.
Common questions
Does Infoseed only work with Canberra businesses?
No. Infoseed is Canberra-based and can support Australian service businesses where remote delivery makes sense.
Is this a web design service?
Yes. Infoseed builds and manages new or replacement websites for service businesses. The monthly service includes hosting, maintenance and two small content-update batches using up to 30 minutes of editing in total per month, with no rollover. Defect fixes are free and do not use that allowance; extra work is quoted first.
Will a new website bring me more customers?
A website can explain your services and give potential customers a way to contact you. It does not guarantee traffic or sales. Decide how people will reach it, such as referrals, existing customer links or a separately planned search or advertising effort.
