Services — the index
What we build.
Six disciplines, one standard: hand-coded from scratch, quick to load, and yours outright when the invoice is paid. Pick what you need — the price is on the tin.
Capabilities
Seven ways in. One standard across all of them.
Every row below ships hand-coded — no templates, no page builders, no rented platforms. The deliverable, the outcome, and the starting price, in plain terms.
Web Applications
Booking systems, customer portals, dashboards, internal tools — software that runs part of your business, delivered as a fast web app instead of a spreadsheet and a prayer. App builds are part of Empire: site plus web app, $9,600.
How we build
Business Websites
The bread and butter: a fast, multi-page site that tells your story, ranks for your trade, and turns visits into phone calls. Launch (up to 5 pages) is $2,400; most businesses land on Signature at $4,800.
How we build
E-Commerce
A store you own outright — Stripe checkout, no Shopify tax, no monthly rent on your own revenue. The commerce engine starts at $2,900, added to any build.
How we build
Mobile Apps
Your product in a pocket. We ship installable apps as PWAs first — no app-store gatekeeping — and wrap for the App Store and Google Play when the case is proven. App work rides on Empire builds, from $9,600.
How we build
SEO & Performance
Not a retainer — a build standard. Semantic markup, structured data, and pages that load in under a second. Every site we ship targets Lighthouse 95+, and you can check the numbers yourself.
How we build
Brand & Identity
The mark, the type, the colours — a small, usable identity system for businesses starting from zero or shedding a clip-art logo. A brand mark starts at $750; the full system folds into your build.
How we build
AI Chatbot & Lead Capture
An AI assistant trained on your business that answers customers and captures hot leads — names, numbers, job details — at 2am as well as 2pm. Installs on any website, new or existing, with one line of code. Setup $990 once, then $49/mo — free with every Empire build.
How we build
How a build runs — four steps, nothing upfront, you approve the design before you pay. The full process lives on the About page.
Template vs hand-coded, counted in five-year dollars — the comparison and the maths live on Pricing. All prices AUD, ex GST.
Specialisation
Built for your industry, not a generic one.
One client per industry, per council area — so your site never shares a design with the competitor down the road. A few industries we know well:
Different trade, different customer, different page. The full industry hub is here.
Already have a website?
Don't rebuild it. Rescue it.
Most websites don't need a $5,000 rebuild — they need an honest audit, content Google respects, a chatbot catching the night-time leads, and hosting that isn't bleeding them dry. All of it installs on the site you already have.
Second-Opinion Audit — $390
A 40-point written report on speed, SEO, content, trust and security — what's broken and what it's costing you. Credited back if we do the fixing.
SEO Content — from $290/page
Pages and articles built on E-E-A-T — experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness. Real authors, real credentials, structured data.
Hosting Rescue — from $49/mo
Free migration off overpriced retainers, zero-downtime DNS switch, fast managed hosting with no lock-in. Most clients save $600–$1,800 a year.
Plus the AI chatbot, fixes at $150/hr quoted first, and straight free advice on whether yours is worth saving. The full menu: Already have a website? →
You approve it before you pay for it.
You approve the finished design before you pay a cent. If you don’t love it, you don’t pay — and you owe nothing.
- Nothing upfront. You see the design first. On approval, a 50% deposit begins the build; the balance is due at launch — the site goes live when the final payment lands. Walk away before approval owing nothing.
- It’s yours, provably. Private Git repository, cloud archive, and a signed IP transfer deed. The code is legally, provably yours.
- Edits are covered. 30/60/90 days of free fixes per tier — anything broken, off-brief or not performing as agreed is fixed free. New pages, new features, restyling and routine content updates bill at standard rates ($150/hr, or HEKAWEB Care at $99/mo: hosting, monitoring, priority queue, up to 2h/mo of content updates), cancel anytime.
