How much does a website cost?
The cost depends on the pages, content, integrations and operational risk involved. CDS maps the requirements first, then confirms the scope and fixed price in writing before work begins.
Clear answers, without the sales fog. If your question is specific, CDS will answer it clearly.

The delivery window depends on the scope, supplied content, integrations and review process. Your proposal sets out a realistic timeline before work starts.
A custom mobile-responsive design, foundational on-page SEO, enquiry pathway, your supplied branding and imagery, and deployment configuration. The final inclusion list is confirmed in writing so there is no ambiguity.
Yes. Website builds include foundational technical and local SEO such as page titles, descriptions, structured data, performance work and mobile optimisation. Ongoing SEO is a separate service when the market and goal justify it.
Yes. CDS builds estimating and quoting tools around the way your business prices work, including labour, materials, margins, templates and proposal outputs. The safest first step is mapping the current process before choosing features.
Yes. Useful automations can connect forms, email, documents, job records and scheduled actions. We first identify what is repetitive and error-prone, then build the smallest reliable workflow that removes it.
A website primarily explains and promotes your business. A web application performs an operational job, such as quoting, booking, tracking work, managing records or providing a client portal.
Yes. CDS builds custom Shopify storefronts with Shopify CLI and Liquid, reusable theme sections, integrations and app experiments where the store needs more than configuration. Scope depends on catalogue size, content, migration needs, integrations and custom business rules.
Yes. CDS builds focused iOS, Android and cross-platform products, including field calculators, QR attendance workflows and connected web components. Store publication, device support and ongoing maintenance are confirmed in the project scope rather than assumed.
Not at all. Most clients start with a frustrating process or business problem rather than a technical specification. CDS will help define the simplest sensible solution before recommending a build.
Yes. CDS works remotely with businesses across Australia. Workshops, progress reviews and handover can all be completed online, while site-specific operational context is gathered during discovery.
Yes. The project proposal confirms the editing access, source and configuration files included in the handover, together with any third-party or reusable-component licences. If self-management is part of the scope, CDS documents the safe editing path and which structural changes need development support.
Hosting and domain requirements are confirmed during scoping. CDS can guide the setup or manage it for you. Any ongoing third-party or support costs are identified before you commit.
Ownership and licensing are stated in the proposal. For a standard website, you retain your domain and business content and receive a clear handover. Reusable CDS platform components or third-party services may remain separately licensed where applicable.
Projects follow a standard three-stage structure: a 50% deposit before work starts, 40% when you approve the agreed preview, and the final 10% before production launch. Larger builds can be split into further milestones, and the exact schedule is always stated in the proposal.
A defect — an agreed feature that does not work — is fixed free for 30 days after handover. A revision adjusts presentation within the agreed scope and is covered by the revision rounds in your proposal. A change request adds new scope, and is priced and approved in writing before any work starts, so the invoice never surprises you.
CDS completes handover and launch checks, then supports any agreed warranty items. Ongoing maintenance, hosting, content updates and improvement work can be arranged separately without hiding them inside the initial build price.
