The Four Frustrations of Owning a Website

After over 30 years helping small businesses get online, we’ve noticed the same four frustrations appear again and again.

1
High upfront costs

A typical small business website can cost thousands of dollars before it even goes live.

2
High ongoing costs

Hosting, licences, security and updates quickly add up after launch.

3
Fear of engagement

Many business owners hesitate to contact their developer because they’re worried about being charged for every small change – which means important updates often never happen.

4
Becoming obsolete

Technology and customer expectations change quickly. When a website falls behind, potential customers may assume the business has too.

So what are your options?

Most small businesses end up with a website that cost too much, took too long, or stopped working properly because they chose the wrong path to get there.

DIY

Cheap to start. But you're still on the hook for updates, security, and keeping it current. Most end up neglected within a year.

Freelancer

Lower upfront cost, more flexibility. But ongoing support depends entirely on one person being available and that's not always the case when you need them.

Friend or relative

Feels like a favour. Becomes an obligation. Deadlines slip, feedback gets awkward, and you still end up owning the maintenance yourself.

Agency

Professional results but typically $5,000–$15,000 upfront before a single customer has found you. Hard to justify for most small businesses.

We took everything that was broken about owning a website and fixed it.

Built specifically for small businesses that want a professional website without the traditional cost and complexity.

Introducing

Business Basics

Australian owned and operated since 1995. Your data is hosted onshore, and we’re not going anywhere.

Who's Behind This?

Thirty years in. Still doing the work.

I’m Richard Pearce, a Sydney-based web professional who’s been building websites since the early days of the web. Design, development, SEO, the lot.

Over the years I kept meeting the same person: a smart, capable business owner who’d been burned by an agency that didn’t care, a freelancer who disappeared, or a DIY tool that promised the world and delivered a headache. Good people who just wanted their online presence handled properly, without the drama.

Business Basics does exactly that. One monthly fee. No surprises. And when you need something, you’re talking to me, not a help desk.

Who it's For

Does this sound like you?

You're paying too much for too little

You just want it handled by someone you can actually talk to

FAQs

It varies depending on workload and how quickly you respond but your site can be live within two weeks of kicking off.

You do. If you ever decide to leave, the site is yours to take with you.

Yes. We’ll run it through our full checklist and apply all our standard security and performance enhancements plus perform any updates you require.

The package includes six hours of support per year which is enough for most small businesses to keep their site current. That covers text changes, new photos, updated contact details and similar requests.

You’re not committed to any minimum period. We do have a simple, plain English agreement that sets out what we do and what we need from you.

Just let us know at least five days before your next renewal date and you won’t be charged again. Your site stays live until the end of your current billing period.
