One plan for painting businesses, priced in full
No tiers, no add-ons hidden in the terms. Here is what the plan costs, what it includes, and the minimum term, stated plainly.
The minimum term is 12 months from the day your site goes live. After that the plan runs month to month.

What the monthly fee pays for
-
Your website live within 14 days of us receiving your content
The clock starts when we have everything on the content checklist. If something is missing, we tell you what, straight away.
-
Hosting, SSL certificate and security updates
The site runs on managed hosting with a certificate so it loads over https. Software and security updates are our job, not yours.
-
Up to 5 content edits a month
Send new photos, a changed service, an extra suburb or new hours. We make the change and tell you when it is live.
-
A monthly report of the enquiries your website received
Once a month you get a short record of the enquiries that came through your website, so you can see what the site is doing.
-
A 12-month minimum term, then month to month
The first year is fixed. After that the plan runs month to month and you can stop with written notice.
What the first year costs
Across the minimum term you pay the setup fee once and twelve monthly fees. From month thirteen it is the monthly fee only, for as long as you keep the plan.
All figures are shown without GST. GST may apply. In New Zealand a business must register for GST once its turnover reaches $60,000 1 in 12 months, and only a registered business adds GST to its invoices. If GST applies when we invoice you, it is shown on the invoice.
| Item | NZ$ |
|---|---|
| Setup fee, paid once | 549 |
| Monthly fee x 12 months | 3,228 |
| First 12 months in total | 3,777 |
| Each month after that | 269 |
How the plan compares with the other ways to get a site
A do-it-yourself website builder and a one-off build from an agency are both reasonable choices. They cost differently and put the work in different places. Prices vary widely, so this compares how each works rather than quoting other businesses' prices.
| Question | This plan | DIY website builder | One-off agency build |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay upfront | NZ$549 setup | Usually little or nothing | Usually the largest single cost of the three |
| What you pay ongoing | NZ$269 a month, GST may apply | A subscription for the builder, plus your own time | Hosting, plus a charge each time you need changes |
| Who builds the pages | We do, from your content | You do, in the evenings | The agency does, once |
| Who makes changes later | We do, up to 5 edits a month | You do | The agency, usually billed per job |
| Built around painting work | Yes: quote form, before and after gallery, suburbs | Only if you set it up that way | Depends on the brief you write |
| Commitment | 12-month minimum, then monthly | Usually month to month | Paid per project |
Before you sign up
I paid for a website before and it never brought in any work.
That’s common, and often the site had no quote form, no suburbs and no photos of finished jobs. We can’t promise enquiries, but we build the parts that let a customer act, and your monthly report shows what comes through.
I’m not technical.
You don’t need to be. You answer the content checklist in plain words, send photos from your phone, and email or message the changes you want. We handle the rest.
What do I actually have to supply?
Your services, the areas you cover, photos of your work, any prices you want shown, your logo if you have one and access to your domain. The full list is on the how it works page.
What if I want to leave?
After the 12-month minimum term, give written notice before the next billing date. Your domain and your content are yours; we help you point the domain elsewhere.
Pricing questions
The full service terms are on the plan terms page.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes, a one-off setup fee of NZ$549. It pays for building the site. There are no other fees on the plan. Work outside the plan, such as a new feature, is quoted first and only charged if you agree.
Do the prices include GST?
Prices are shown without GST and the price label reads "GST may apply". A business only charges GST once it is registered, and registration is required when turnover reaches $60,000 in 12 months. If GST applies when we invoice you, it is added and shown on the invoice.
How long is the minimum term?
12 months from the day your site goes live. The setup fee and the monthly fee pay for the build and running of the site across that first year, which is why the plan has a minimum term.
What happens after 12 months?
The plan carries on month to month at the same fee. Either of us can end it with written notice before the next billing date, and it finishes at the end of the month already paid for. If the fee ever changes, you get at least 30 days’ written notice first.
Can I cancel during the minimum term?
You can end the plan at any time with written notice, but the monthly fees for the rest of the minimum term remain payable. That doesn’t apply if you end it because we seriously breached the terms and didn’t fix the problem within 14 days of you telling us.
What if I need more changes than the plan includes?
We tell you the price before doing the work, and nothing is charged unless you agree. New pages, new features or a redesign are outside the plan and priced the same way.
