Affordable Gold Coast web design that doesn't look it.
Custom-coded websites for small businesses, starting at $1,995 — fixed prices, ready in 7-14 days, you own everything from day one. No quotes, no calls, no compromise on craft.
"$1,995 for a custom website? What's the catch?"
Fair question. The honest answer is there isn't one — but here's what makes it work:
We've productised what most agencies sell as bespoke. The scope is fixed, the price is published, the process is the same for every client. No sales calls, no proposals, no scope creep. That alone removes 30-40% of typical agency overhead — and we pass that saving on.
You're not getting a template. You're not getting a Wix drag-and-drop. You're getting a hand-coded website built specifically for your business, with the same care we put into our $7,995 Signature builds — just with a focused scope.
If that scope works for you, you save thousands. If you need more, our higher tiers exist for a reason.
Three flat prices. Pick yours.
Each tier has a fixed scope and a fixed price. No quotes, no surprises. Add-ons available at checkout if you need ecommerce, copywriting, logo, or SEO. All in AUD, ex-GST.

What small businesses actually say.
Testimonials specifically from clients who chose Subpixel because of the price-to-quality ratio.
"Quick, painless, and the site looks better than the ones our competitors paid four times more for. Sorted via email and a Google Doc."
"I'd been quoted $7K elsewhere for the same site. Subpixel did it for $1,995 and I genuinely can't tell the difference. Lesson learned about quotes."
"Honestly weirded out at first by how cheap it seemed. Then they shipped the site in 9 days and it converted three new clients in the first month."
"As a sole trader, $1,995 fixed was the only way I could've afforded a real website. Anything cheaper would've looked it. This doesn't."
