Online bookings
$349
+$59/month
Customers pick a time and book it themselves. Worth it if you sell appointment slots, not if you quote jobs.
The Get Online Package

Doing it yourself, or done for you
A do-it-yourself website builder looks cheaper until you count your own hours. Here's who does what.
| The job | Doing it yourself | With Vantoro |
|---|---|---|
| Designing and building the site | Doing it yourself: You, learning a website builder after hours | With Vantoro: Built for you, and you see it before you pay |
| Writing the words | Doing it yourself: You, staring at a blank page | With Vantoro: Written for your business |
| Photos | Doing it yourself: Hunting for them yourself | With Vantoro: Yours, or professional ones if you don't have any |
| Web address and hosting | Doing it yourself: Separate accounts to set up, pay for and renew | With Vantoro: Registered in your name and renewed for you |
| Your Google listing | Doing it yourself: Another login to work out | With Vantoro: Claimed, filled in and linked to your site |
| Changes later on | Doing it yourself: Log back in and remember how it all works | With Vantoro: Text or email me |
| Security, backups and updates | Doing it yourself: Yours to remember | With Vantoro: Handled |
The fine print, stated plainly
- 12-month minimum on the monthly. It's what keeps the build fee at $449 instead of the $3,000 to $8,000 a custom build usually costs.
- $99 is the ongoing price, not an introductory rate that steps up later.
- Your web address is registered in your name, so you own it, not me.
- No set-up fees and no hourly rate for changes. For the package, $449 and $99 a month is the whole price.
- Prices in AUD, exclusive of GST. I'm under the GST registration threshold, so there's none to add today; if that changes, GST is added on top and I'll tell you before it happens.
Add-ons, only if you need them
Most businesses don't need any of these. I'll tell you on the call which ones I'd leave off and why.
Edit it yourself
No build fee
+$39/month
A simple login to change your own words and photos. There's no build fee because switching it on is a setting, not a rebuild.
Online shop
from $449
from +$99/month
Sell products and take payment online. Quoted per job, since no two shops are the same.
What's not included, so there are no surprises
- Business email. I don't sell mailboxes, and I won't pretend otherwise.
- A promised turnaround on changes. They still get done, I just won't put a stopwatch on it and quote a number I can't always hit.
- Ad spend. If you ever want Google Ads, that's your money going to Google, not to me.
- Lock-in past the first 12 months. After that you're month to month.
See it before you decide
The honest way to judge all of this is to look at your own site, finished. Tell me about your business and I'll build it, then you decide.
