A beautiful website for your business. Without the agency price tag.

Why we started

We were fed up with local businesses being quoted thousands.

Again and again we saw the same thing. A brilliant local tradie, café or salon with glowing Google reviews, and either no website at all or one that hadn't been touched in years. When they asked around, they were quoted thousands and thousands of dollars for a simple site, then charged again every time they wanted a small change.

That didn't sit right with us. So we started Homestead Studio to do it differently: we build you a beautiful, phone-friendly website first, using your real name, services and reviews. You only pay if you love it, and the price is fair. Then we look after it, so you can get on with the work you're good at.

Is there anything else to pay, like a domain or hosting?

No. Your domain, hosting, business email and SSL are all included in your setup and monthly price. No hidden costs and no surprise renewals.

Nothing. We build your site, register your domain, set up hosting and your email, and put it all live. You just tell us you're happy.
