How much does a build cost?
Every job is one fixed price, agreed in writing before we start. There is no hourly rate. The price depends on how much we have to build, not on the technology.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. You get one fixed price for the whole job, paid in five stages as each stage is finished and working.
Is there a deposit?
No deposit up front. Your first payment is due when you accept the written quote, after the plan is agreed.
What if I want to change something during the build?
We price the change in writing first, as a written variation. Nothing goes on the bill without your OK.
Are hosting and domains included?
Not by us. Hosting, your domain name and any outside services are billed to you directly, in your own accounts, so you are never locked in.
Is GST added?
No. Ozwebnet isn't registered for GST, so none is added. If that ever changes it will be a separate line on your quote.
Can I stop part-way?
Yes. Every stage ends with something that works. Stop after any stage, pay for the stages done, and keep what has been built.
What changes the price?
How much has to exist: the number of pages or screens, how many kinds of user, which of your other systems it connects to, and how much reporting you need. The pricing page lists it service by service.
Who owns it
Do I own the code?
Yes. When the build is done you own the finished code and the rights to it.
Can another developer work on it later?
Yes. It is written in plain, well-documented code with no licence tying it to us. Anyone you choose can pick it up.
Are we locked in to you?
No. You own the code, the hosting is in your own accounts, and there is no subscription with us to cancel.
Do we have to replace the software we already use?
No. Most builds connect to what you already run: accounting, job management, the till, stock. You only enter things once.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, where it helps. Parts that change often get a simple editing screen you use yourself. Pages that rarely change stay as plain pages. We agree which is which in the quote.
Do I need to know how to code to use the editing screens?
No. If you can fill in a form, you can update the site.
How long it takes
How long does a project take?
It depends on the size of the job. Your fixed quote comes with a stage-by-stage timeline, so you know how long it will take before you commit.
When is the price fixed?
After a short first conversation and a written plan, before any work starts. It is paid in five stages.
What happens after I ask for a quote?
We reply within one business day, by phone or email. We have a short first chat, in person in Adelaide or by video call, then send you a fixed price in writing.
What should I have ready for the first call?
Three things: what your business does, what isn't working, and when you need it fixed. The names of the software you use help. You don't need to write anything down.
Where we work
Do you work outside Adelaide?
Yes. We are in Adelaide and work with businesses anywhere in Australia. Meetings run by video call, and the job runs the same way.
Can we meet in person?
Yes, if you are in Adelaide. Anywhere else in Australia we meet by video call.
Is there a phone number?
Yes: 1300 699 321, answered Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Adelaide time, by the people who do the work.
Do you use WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or page builders?
No. Everything is written from scratch in code, for your business.
Do you do marketing as well?
No. We design and build the software. We don't sell marketing.
How a project runs
What are the five steps?
First chat, plan and price, build, testing, launch. Each step ends with something that works.
Do I see the work before it is finished?
Yes. The build comes to you in stages, and you try each one as it is done.
What happens if something fails testing?
It goes back a step and gets fixed before we move on, at no extra cost. Nothing is signed off until it passes.
Will it work on our phones?
Yes. Everything we build is made for the phone in your customer's hand and the phone in your staff's pocket, as well as a desk screen.
Does a hand-coded site rank better on Google?
It helps. Google reads a clean, fast page more easily than a bloated theme. Your content and your competition still decide rankings. We make sure the build never holds you back.
Will a website redesign lose my search rankings?
No. Every old web address is listed before we start and either kept or pointed to its new page, so Google and other links still work.
Does my old site stay up while the new one is built?
Yes. The new site is built and checked beside it. Your domain is switched in one move, and the old site stays up until the new one is working.
Can you move our store off Shopify without losing orders?
Yes. Products, customer accounts, past orders and web addresses come across. Your old store keeps selling until the new one has passed its test orders.
Why do our reports never agree, and how does this fix it?
Because each system keeps its own copy of the numbers. We gather them in one place, match them up by rules you agree, and every report reads from that one copy.
Your industry
Do you only work with these four industries?
No. Trades, professional services, manufacturing and retail are the ones we know best, but we build for any Australian business.
We fit more than one industry. Which page should we read?
The one closest to how you take money. The quote is based on what you actually run, not the label.
Do you sell the software you mention?
No. We connect to the software you already use and build around it. We don't resell any of it.
Can one project cover several services?
Yes. An online store linked to your accounting software, for example, is one quote and one project.
Can a customer login show invoices from Xero or MYOB?
Yes. The login reads from the records you already keep, so customers see their real invoices and can pay them there.
Will it work on the phones our crews carry on site?
Yes. Field screens open in the phone's browser: today's run, the site address, what to check, photos, signatures, and hours against the job.
Can one build cover several venues or stores?
Yes. One site or system can run several locations, each with its own menu, hours, stock or staff, and one place to see all of them.
