We don’t wish to provide any specific pricing structures on this website and give that visibility to competitors but we can provide some indications of how we compare with quotes.

Some examples:

A sole trader in Sydney was quoted by a Melbourne Web Design company $1700 for a 5 page Content Management System. We quoted for the same, coming in at $850. That is half of their former quote.

A Mudgee business was quoted by a Sydney Web Design company $9, 900 for a full featured content management system to manage their products and services. This client approached us for a second quote to see the comparison. We quoted $2100 for the same job. We were not aware of the other competitor until they told us this later. That is just over one-fifth of their former quote.

After we completed a website for this client they posted a thank you in their news section expressing their appreciation of the great results they got from Mills Web Design without the high prices that come with it – read it here. (Thanks Nic!)

Take a look out our Testimonials section – you don’t have to read very many before you come across various mentions from a “value for money” perspective.

It is not just our website costs which are competitive, but we can provide low cost hosting as well. We are happy to be transparent there – $54 per year – unlimited email addresses, unlimited bandwidth, 25Gb of space. We often come across people spending $150 – $200 per year for the same thing.

Need a Quote? Got 15 minutes for a quick chat on the phone?

Give us a call, and we can ask you a series of pre-determined questions to gather the required info for a quote which typically takes ten to fifteen minutes. We are also happy to have a consultation style discussion if you need to better understand the different options available to you.

Call to Discuss Your Options

You don’t even have to know what you want – feel free to call for a free consultation about what you want to achieve and we can explain any possible suggestions for you to ensure a complete solution.

We Can Work With Other Providers if Needed

If you already have a registered domain name, we can work in with that. If you already have a hosting provider, we can build on their server if you wish. Even if you have an existing website and you want to give it a makeover, we can rebuild in its place so you keep your hosting provider and domain name as is.

Alternatively, if you have none of the above, we can provide it all for you from scratch.

What you Need To Know About Packaged Solutions

Some website companies may provide a website on the basis that you HAVE to host it on their own servers as well. While this is not a bad thing at all, it is important to ask the question – what if I want a different Web Designer to work on my site in future? Am I now “married” to this web design company because they do not want anyone else accessing their servers to modify your site?

We do not put you in that situation. We constantly keep in touch with what we believe to be the best value web hosting / domain providers around and build your site with that provider. You then provide you with all access details when the job is done, which allows you to “walk away.”  That means that if you need to engage a different web designer in future you have no politics.

Call Mills Web Design to have a no obligation chat about what you require for a complete web solution and we can pull it all together for you so that when the job is done you can just “walk away”.

We provide websites for businesses in Sydney at a more competitive cost as we do not charge Sydney prices. We are located in Bathurst but the great thing about websites is that distance poses no issue. If anything it only presents an advantage in this case – your quote could be half the cost of that of a Sydney Web Design company.

Why Cost Is No Issue

We are confident enough to say that if you think you can get a lower quote than ours which offers a comparable scope of deliverables then we will see if we can match or even beat it. If we cannot, you win. If we can, you still win.

Why Quality Is No Issue

Payment is not finalised until you preview your site and tell us it meets your expectations. If it does not, we will revise the site until you do. Only then will payment be finalised. That means the only possible outcome is for you to walk away happy with what you have paid for.

Check out examples in our portfolio and feel free to call us for a free consultation and quote, or if you have any questions at all. Should the project warrant it we can always arrange a face to face meeting if the need arises.

We also offer the choice to mix and match your services. If you already have a domain name we can work with that, or if you already have a hosting provider we can work with that. Alternatively we can provide the whole package for you.

One big advantage of using WordPress as a CMS is that it is one of the most widely used and supported solutions in the world. A risk with getting a CMS or blog site built by a web design company that uses its own proprietary software is that you can run the risk of being held at ransom with support and cost – they are the only ones around who know the system. If their company cannot find the time to provide reliable support or they go out of business, you are stuck with a system no one else knows.

Providing a Finely Tuned WordPress Solution

• Search Engine Optimisation as part of the package (WordPress is already reknowned for good SEO)
• Customised Admin interface for maximum simplicity and ease of use
• A Concise User Guide which we have written for you
• Hand picked and tested plugins as part of the package which provide a much more rounded solution than WordPress offers “out-of-the-box”

We have used WordPress for:

• Ecommerce and digital download sites
• Photographers websites
• Event Management websites
• Pub / Hotel websites
• Bed and Breakfast / accomodation websites
• A general Content Management System solution for a variety of different business types
• Blogs (of course!)
• One page sites for those who wish to extend capabilities in future
• Trades people
• Business people
• Musicians
• Our own website

Obvious Advantages of WordPress

Three advantages of WordPress which other Web Design companies using proprietary software may find hard to claim:

• It is tried and tested by tens of millions of users worldwide
• It has a worldwide community of support and expertise consisting of hundreds of thousands of people
• It has tens of thousands of plugins which can extend its functionality in almost limitless ways

Call Mills Web Design to see how we can make WordPress work for your business.

Servicing Katoomba, Springwood, Blackheath and throughout the Blue Mountains.

Behavioural studies have shown people online are so quick to judge they often form an impression of a business by the time the page has loaded.

If that impression is not reasssuring, a competitor is only as far away as the browser’s back button.

When considering a web solution this places many small business owners in one of two positions most of the time:

• An affordable solution that gives out an amateur impression.
• A fantastic and professional solution that is beyond the budget.

Of course this is a generalisation but it can be a gamble trying to find that perfect combination of right price vs professional branding when each dollar counts.

At Mills Web Design we aim to get that combination right and so far our clients are proving to be only too happy with the results.

We have set up our testimonials page so our clients can submit their genuine testimonials themselves. See what they have to say. Also check out our portfolio to determine if the quality is to your expectations. If we pass on these first two tests put us to the third test and call us for a quote.

The best part of it is we guarantee you will be happy with the result because payment is not finalised until you confirm that the work is to your satisfaction.  If not we revise the work until you are.  With that approach the outcome can only ever be right!

Contact Mills Web Design for a discussion about your requirements and we will aim to give you the best price we can.
