FAQ
Questions we often get
Do I really own my website?
Yes. Your domain is registered in your name and you pay for it. Once the site is built and paid for, the site and the words we wrote are yours.
How long does it take?
A first draft in about 7 days, and live within about two weeks of the deposit.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes, with a free, simple online editor. Or let a Care plan handle it.
Do I need an ABN to get a .com.au?
Usually, yes: an ABN or a registered business name. We’ll help you register it in your name.
I already have a website. Can you help?
Yes. We’ll rebuild it, keep your email working and redirect your old pages.
Will you write fake reviews or testimonials?
Never. Only genuine reviews, and none at all for registered health practitioners (AHPRA rules).
Is there a contract or lock-in?
A simple, plain-English agreement. Care plans are month to month, with 30 days’ notice.
Do you charge GST?
Yes. All prices include GST.
Ready for a website that works as hard as you do?
Founding prices before 1 Dec 2026, plus 3 months Care free when you sign up by 31 Dec 2026.
