Apply for your website build
This page is the application itself, not a request to be contacted about one. What you send is answered in writing with either the next step or a reason it is a no, and never with a call. There is no sales sequence behind it and nothing to pay to apply.
What you are applying for: the build at $0 upfront, then $297 a month including GST across a committed 12-month term, which comes to $3,564 in total over those 12 months. Live in 5 working days. The full breakdown of what the monthly fee covers, and what it deliberately does not, sits on the pricing page.
The application
Name, email, phone and business take about 30 seconds. The message box is the field that decides the answer, so it is worth 3 or 4 sentences on:
- What the business actually sells, in the words a customer would use.
- The suburbs, regions or type of customer you want the work coming from.
- What the current site is failing to do, or what has stopped you building one.
Your details are used to answer this application and, if it goes ahead, to set up the build. They are not sold, not added to a mailing list and not passed to a third party.
Published because a real business publishes one. It is never a step you have to go through: the written application is the path we actually ask for.
A working address on Greenhill Rd, not a mail drop. Applications are welcome from across Adelaide and the rest of South Australia.
Anything that arrives outside those days waits for the next working day. Applications are read in the order they arrive, not sorted by who chases hardest.
Everything by email. You stay in your business. We do the build.
The 5 steps between this form and a live site, and when each one happens
Most agency enquiry forms buy you a place in somebody’s follow-up sequence, and the timeline only appears once you have already committed. Here is the whole path in advance, in order, with the waiting time on each step and the one step that waits on you.
Apply
A short form. No call, no pitch deck.
The form on this page is 4 fields and a message box, and the message box is the part that decides the answer. Every application is read by Chris Lourenco, Director, who is also the person who would build the site, so nothing is summarised for somebody else before it gets a decision. The reply comes back in writing and it either names the next step or explains why the answer is no.
Agreement
Everything in writing before any commitment, including all 5 guarantees.
The agreement arrives as a link you read and sign in the browser. It carries the $0 build, the monthly fee including GST, the committed 12-month term and all 5 guarantees in the same words this site uses, because a guarantee that only exists in marketing copy is not a guarantee. Nothing is charged at signing. Any question about a clause is answered in writing before you sign it, not afterwards.
Intake
You send content and answer the brief. The 5-day clock starts here.
A client portal login arrives with a written brief attached: the services you sell, the suburbs and regions you cover, logo files, any photos you want used, whatever copy already exists, and where the domain is registered. Counting starts the day that material is complete rather than the day the agreement is signed. That is a deliberate distinction, because a build cannot be assembled around content that has not arrived, and pretending otherwise is how agency timelines quietly stretch.
Approve
You get 2 written feedback rounds, and you sign off on what goes live.
A staging link lands in your inbox while the site is still private. You mark up what you want changed and send it back, and you get 2 written rounds to do it in. Nothing is published until you have approved it in writing, so the version that goes live is the version you signed off on rather than an interpretation of a conversation nobody wrote down.
Live
The site launches, tracking is verified, and the 90 days begins.
The domain is pointed, the certificate issues, and the enquiry form is fired with a real submission that has to arrive in an inbox before launch counts as finished. Analytics and the sitemap are checked on the live address, the first monthly payment begins, and the 90-day period starts with it. From that morning onward, changes go in through the portal instead of an inbox thread.
Step 03 is the only one with your name on the clock. Everything after it runs on our side, and guarantee 01 is what covers you if it slips. In full: Live in 5 working days, or you do not pay a monthly fee for the first 12 months.
What applying commits you to
Nothing, and that is worth spelling out rather than implying, because the usual free website offer turns out to have a lock-in clause somewhere behind it.
No money changes hands to apply, or to sign
The build is $0 and the first monthly payment begins once the site is live, so the first invoice sits behind work you have already read, marked up and approved in writing.
The terms are read before they are agreed
All 5 guarantees, the 12-month term, the ownership clause and the 30 days notice are in the document you sign at step 02. Nothing on this site is a claim the paperwork does not repeat word for word.
The same person, application to launch
Whoever reads your application writes the pages, points the domain and answers your emails after launch. Nothing is handed over to somebody who was never part of the original brief. Who does the work.
Not every application is accepted
If a website is not the thing that will move the needle for your business, the reply says so plainly and stops there. A no costs you 2 minutes. A yes that should have been a no costs you a year.
Where the work is actually conducted
Guarantee 05 sets the channel, and 2 tools carry the whole relationship.
- Email, from application to launch. The reply, the agreement link, the brief, the staging link, both feedback rounds and your written approval. It ends up as one searchable thread instead of a decision nobody can quite recall making.
- The client portal, from launch onward. Your login arrives at step 03 and stays with you. Changes go in as a request with the files attached, and each one carries the history of that page beside it, so context never has to be rebuilt from scratch.
- The phone, which is not one of them. The number above is real, because a real business publishes one. Nothing in the path runs through it: guarantee 05 puts the brief, the agreement, both feedback rounds and the approval in writing, which is where the record you can hold us to actually lives.
Questions about applying
How is an application answered?
Do I have to speak on the phone at any stage?
What do you need from me before the 5 working days start?
What happens if the application is turned down?
I already have a website. Does that change the process?
How do changes work once the site is live?
Do you accept applications from outside Adelaide?
Reading before applying?
Nothing on this site sits behind an enquiry, so there is no reason to apply just to find out the details. Take whichever of these is the thing you are unsure about, then come back to the form.
- What $297 a month covers line by line, and how it compares with the $3,000 to $10,000 an Adelaide build is usually quoted at.
- What actually gets built page by page, including the technical work sitting behind it and the 4 things it deliberately is not.
- The 14 live builds with 9 Adelaide or South Australian businesses among them. Every one is a live address you can open and check for yourself.
- How long a website really takes to build in Australia, what causes the wait when it drags, and how to tell a normal build from one that has stalled.
