Packages FAQ

What is included in a website design package?

Short answer

A good website package states page scope, design and build process, integrations, SEO foundations, revision rounds, and launch support. Ours range from focused Starter sites to Growth and Custom systems. If a package only lists “pages” and a price, ask what happens after the first draft and who owns hosting, content, and redirects.

What a package should make explicit

Packages exist to reduce ambiguity. Without them, every project renegotiates the same questions: how many pages, how many design rounds, whether forms are included, and what “SEO” means. A clear package turns those into known inclusions so you can compare options and plan content work.

At minimum, expect clarity on: page count or page system, whether layouts are unique or templated, how many revision rounds you get, which integrations are included, what SEO foundations ship at launch, and what support covers the first weeks after go-live.

Also ask what is excluded. Photography, copywriting, ongoing SEO retainers, ecommerce catalogues, and complex CRM automation are often separate. That is fine when stated early. It is painful when discovered after design is approved.

Our Starter, Business, Growth, and Custom packages step up in page depth and capability. Starter suits a focused brochure. Business adds flexibility and integrations. Growth suits SEO-led expansion. Custom covers portals and unusual systems. The package page is the source of truth for current inclusions.

Before you buy, map your must-haves to the package sheet in writing. If a must-have is missing, either upgrade the package or accept a phase-two item. Stretching inclusions after kick-off is how timelines slip and relationships fray.

Real Australian example

Trades business choosing Growth for search coverage

Platinum Linemarking needed more than a pretty homepage. The commercial goal required service and area coverage that a small brochure package could not honestly include.

Selecting a Growth-level scope made inclusions match the job: more pages, landing templates, and SEO architecture. Buying a cheaper package and then bolting on dozens of pages mid-project would have created conflict and delay.

Package fit is a strategy decision. Match the package to the outcome, then hold the scope. Stretching a Starter package into a Growth project is how relationships and timelines break.

What to look for on a package sheet

Scope Pages, templates, and what “unlimited” really means
Process Discovery, design rounds, build, QA, launch
Integrations Forms, bookings, CRM, analytics, payments
Aftercare Hosting, handovers, redirects, early support window

If these rows are vague, ask for written clarification before you commit.

Common package mistakes

Buying on price alone without reading exclusions.
Assuming “SEO included” means ranking guarantees.
Treating revision rounds as unlimited redesigns.
Starting without a content plan that matches the package page count.
Choosing Custom when Business inclusions already cover the need.
