How Much Does a Website Cost in Perth? Web Design Prices (2026)
We read the websites of 97 Perth web designers, from Joondalup to Fremantle to Canning Vale. About one in three shows a price. Here is what five pages costs in Perth, and what it adds up to over two years.
Most Perth web designers don’t show a price on their own sites. On 10 October 2026 we read the websites of 97 web designers based in seven parts of Perth, from Joondalup to Fremantle to Canning Vale, and 32 showed a price for a new website. That’s about one in three. On 17 October 2026 we re-read the Perth website design prices for about five pages and added two more designers we found that day. We haven’t named any of them, because prices change.
The short version: Among the 13 Perth designers in our table, about five pages costs from $499 one-off, GST not stated, to $10,000 plus GST and up. Over two years, the totals we could work out ran from $1,297 to $4,700. We’re based in Rivervale: $500 flat including GST for a custom five-page website, live in seven business days, with the words written for you and free hosting on your own account. Bigger packages start at $700, and larger builds get a custom quote.
What to do next: Comparing quotes? Use the tables and the three checks below, and ask every designer for their yearly costs. What we charge, and what’s in each package, is on our pricing page. When you’re ready, start your project.

What it adds up to over two years
The build price is only part of the bill. These are the totals we could work out from published hosting or support fees, cheapest first.

|---|---|---|---|
| Perth city, 5 pages with entry hosting | $797 | Hosting at $250 a year | $1,297, GST not stated |

| Canning Vale, 5 pages on a template, with managed hosting | $1,999 | Hosting and email at $19 a month (billed yearly at $228) in one place on its page, $50 a month in another | $2,455, or $3,199 at $50 a month; GST not stated |
| Canning Vale, custom 5 pages with managed hosting | $3,500 | Hosting and email at $19 or $50 a month, as above | $3,956, or $4,700 at $50 a month; GST not stated |

| CatalystHub Standard build, no care plan | $500 | Your domain. Hosting is free on your own account | $500, plus your domain |
Three things to check on any quote
- Is GST in the price? Of the 13 Perth designers in the first table, two include GST, four add it on top, six don’t say beside the price, and one says both. Ask before you compare two quotes, because 10% on a $3,500 build is $350.
- What do you pay after launch? Hosting in the tables runs from $228 a year ($19 a month) to $60 plus GST a month, and one Burswood designer requires you to host with them. Another studio charges $11.95 a week, which is $621.40 a year. Ask for every yearly cost and multiply it by two.
- Who writes the words, and who owns the site? Some packages include the copywriting. Others are “BYO content”, or assume you supply the text and photos, with writing as an add-on. Ownership varies too: a Joondalup subscription says the customer “simply leases” the site. Get both answers in writing.
Why the prices are so far apart
Two packages with the same page count can be quite different jobs. One Canning Vale designer charges $1,999 for five pages on a template and $3,500 for a custom five-page build. A price that includes the copywriting also covers work that a “BYO content” package leaves to you. The bigger difference is overhead. A traditional agency carries a team on salary, an office, and sales and account staff, and it recovers all of that through project fees. That overhead explains most of the price gap, and how hard the site is to make explains much less.
One of our clients, an electrical contractor in Joondalup, told us: “We were quoted $2,200 by a local agency for what CatalystHub delivered in seven days for $500.”
What we charge
We’re based in Rivervale, and these are our prices. All the fixed prices include GST.
| CatalystHub build | Price |
|---|---|
| Custom 5-page website (Standard build) | $500 flat |
| Advanced Design: the Standard build with an animated or 3D design treatment | From $700 |
| About 9 pages | Around $900, as a custom quote |
| Specialist build, up to 15 pages | From $1,500 |
| Custom Shopify theme | From $700, plus Shopify’s own monthly fee |
| Logo design | $199 |
| Care plan (hosting, daily backups and security updates) | From $49 a month, first month free |
| Larger or custom builds | A custom quote |
On the three checks: GST is in the price. After launch, the one cost you can’t skip is your domain, because hosting is free on your own account and a care plan is optional. We write the words and you approve them, and you own the code and the domain. The Standard build is live in seven business days.
Two of the live sites we’ve built are for Perth and WA businesses: Aesir Legal, a Perth law firm, and Nathan Fischer, a WA stonemason. Nathan’s site was a $500 five-page build. Both carry our credit in the footer. We take larger projects too, like the new corporate website for Carey Group, a mining and civil business, which is still in development. See our work page, and for more about us, our Perth page. We hold a 5.0 rating from 16 Google reviews. The packages in the tables don’t include the same things as ours, so read our pricing page before you compare.

Figures: the first read, on 10 October 2026, covered web designers based in the Perth CBD, East Perth, West Perth, Northbridge, Joondalup, Subiaco, Fremantle, Victoria Park, the Belmont area and the Cannington area. On 17 October 2026 we re-read every price used here on the designer’s own website, and found the two extra designers, each with a published five-page price, through a web search. On 3 November 2026 we took out one two-year total, because that designer no longer publishes the monthly fee behind it. Prices change, so check the current figure with any designer before you compare.
For web designers outside central Perth, see our WA web design price audit: of 94 designers in nine WA areas read on 10 October 2026, 35 showed a price, and on 3 November 2026 the median published price for about five pages there was $2,000.
