How to hire a web design pro in Australia
- Review live portfolio sites and take a client reference
- Contract with IP transfer, domain in your name (a .com.au requires your ABN), and hosting access
- Confirm Privacy Act basics: privacy policy and lawful form-data handling
- Agree scope in writing: pages, revision rounds, CMS, on-page SEO basics
- Pay 30-50% deposit, balance on launch
- Check GST treatment — registered businesses quote GST-inclusive or add 10%; confirm which
Web design is unlicensed in Australia. Note that .com.au domains require an Australian Business Number (ABN) and must be registered to your entity — a designer registering it under their own ABN creates a genuine ownership problem. Sites collecting personal data should carry a privacy policy consistent with the Privacy Act.

Frequently asked questions
What are the ongoing costs after a website launches?
Domain renewal (a small annual fee), hosting (from a few dollars monthly for a brochure site), and optional maintenance. Maintenance retainers typically run 5-10% of the build cost per year and cover updates, backups and small edits. A static brochure site can genuinely run for years with near-zero maintenance.
Do I need my website to be accessible?
Morally yes, legally increasingly so — several markets now enforce accessibility standards (WCAG) for business websites, and lawsuits and fines are real in some countries. Practically: proper headings, alt text, keyboard navigation and color contrast cost little at build time and a lot to retrofit. Ask your designer to build to WCAG 2.1 AA.
What questions should I ask before hiring a web designer?
Five that separate pros from dabblers: Can I see 3 live sites you built and still maintain? Who actually does the work — you or subcontractors? Will I own the domain, hosting and code? What's included in the price and what costs extra? What happens if I want changes after launch?
Who owns the website after it's built?
You should. Insist that the domain is registered in YOUR name (not the designer's), you hold the hosting account credentials, and the contract transfers full rights to the design and code on final payment. Designer-owned domains are the single most common lock-in trap in this industry.
What does a website cost in Australia?
Freelancers charge roughly AUD 60-150/hr; basic sites run AUD 700-3,000, small-business sites AUD 2,000-9,000, and e-commerce from AUD 5,000. GST (10%) may or may not be included in quotes — always ask.
Why does .com.au registration matter?
You need an ABN/ACN to hold a .com.au, and the domain must be registered to YOUR entity, not your designer's. Verify ownership in the auDA registry after launch — reclaiming a designer-held domain later is slow and sometimes impossible.
