One plan, one monthly fee, built for a removal business
A$249 a month and A$499 setup, GST may apply. A 12-month minimum term from the day it goes live, then month by month. One plan, not a bronze, silver and gold to pick apart.
- Hosting, the certificate and security patching sit inside the fee
- Up to 5 changes a month, sent as a message
- The setup fee comes back if you pull out before the build starts

What leaves the account, and when
- At sign-up: the A$499 setup fee, which pays for building the site out of your content. Change your mind before the build starts and it comes back.
- Through the build: nothing further. The site goes up inside 14 days of your content being complete, and that window already covers one round of changes after you see the preview.
- From go-live month: A$249 a month, billed a month ahead. That carries hosting, the SSL certificate, security patching, up to 5 edits and the monthly enquiry count.
- Past 12 months: month by month. Stay while the site is pulling its weight, or give written notice before the next billing date.
On GST: GST may apply. Only a business registered for it can charge it, and one that is not registered leaves it out of its prices2. The operator's registration is confirmed on this page before launch.
Five jobs a week that never reach your inbox
Nobody rings to tell you they gave up on your website. "removalists" alone is searched about 18,100 a month3 in Australia, and these are the five moments where that search quietly turns into somebody else's Saturday job.
-
A woman packing her kitchen at half past nine finds a mobile number and nothing else.
What it costs: She writes you on a shortlist she never gets back to, and books the outfit that let her send the details that night.
-
The enquiry form wants a name, an email and a short note, and asks nothing about the job.
What it costs: You ring back to collect bedrooms, stairs and dates, so one job takes two calls and a quote that lands a day behind.
-
The footer promises every suburb, and no page names a single one of them.
What it costs: Searches that name a suburb match a page about everywhere, and the outer edge of your run never hears from you.
-
Nothing on the site says who covers the goods if a leg comes off a table.
What it costs: On the bigger jobs you read as the risky option, and the risky option is rarely the cheap one either.
-
The hourly rates went up last winter, and the page has never caught up.
What it costs: Customers arrive expecting a price you no longer charge, and the first phone call starts with an apology.
The same five, written onto the build sheet
Nothing redesigned for the sake of it. Every fault above has a matching job in the build.
-
A form that takes the job while you sleep
It asks what that size of move needs and drops the answers in your inbox. Nobody has to be awake at half past nine for it.
-
The questions a mover asks on the phone
Bedrooms, stairs or lift, long carries, heavy items, packing and the date, with a note on whether the date can shift.
-
A page per suburb and per run
Written from what you tell us: how far the trucks go, which depot they leave from, what a job around there usually looks like.
-
Your cover and your damage process, in your words
What you hold, what it covers, how a claim is handled, and any membership you carry. Built from your paperwork, never invented.
-
Rates you can change with a text message
Fuel moves, wages move, a suburb gets added. Send it over and it goes on the site, up to 5 times a month.
What the fee changes about your week
Said without dressing it up, and none of it is a promise about rankings, traffic or how many jobs you win. Those belong to your prices, your crew and your reputation.
-
You stop paying by the change
A new rate card or an extra suburb is part of the fee, not a small invoice from whoever built the site.
-
Weekend enquiries are waiting on Monday, already detailed
The form collected the bedrooms, the access and the date while the trucks were out.
-
One bill instead of four
Hosting, the certificate, the security patching and the form all sit inside the monthly figure.
-
The price on the site is the price you charge
Rates stay current, so quotes stop starting with an apology about what the website says.
-
Nobody at your end has to learn a content system
Changes are a message to a person who does them for you, which is the whole point of a managed plan.
Everything in the fee, and why it earns its spot
- A live site inside 14 days of your content landing. Booked work does not wait on a six-week web project, and neither does the plan.
- A page for every kind of move you take. House moves, small loads, interstate runs, office jobs, packing and storage, and only the ones you actually do.
- The quote form set up by move size. A one-bedroom unit and a twenty-desk office need different questions, so each enquiry turns up ready to price.
- A page for every suburb and run you work. Somebody searching their own suburb can see at a glance that your trucks come that way.
- An insurance and damage page. It is the thing people check the week before a move, and silence reads badly.
- Hosting, SSL certificate and security patching. One bill instead of a hosting invoice, a certificate renewal and a plugin warning.
- Up to 5 content edits a month. Rates, suburbs, photos and hours keep up with the business without eating your evening.
- A monthly count of the enquiries the site brought in. The plan has to show its working, month by month.
- Pages built for a phone first. Most people go looking for a mover with a phone in one hand and a box in the other.
What the fee does not cover
- Paid advertising, such as Google Ads, and the ad spend
- Logo or brand design
- Writing your content: you supply the words, photos and prices, and we lay them out
- Domain registration fees: the domain is registered in your business name and you pay the registrar
We make no promise about rankings, visitor numbers, enquiries, jobs or a speed score. Google decides where a site sits in its results, and anyone who tells a removalist otherwise is guessing with your money.
How the 5 edits a month get used
A removal business shifts more than people outside it expect. Fuel and wages push the hourly rate, a second truck arrives, the storage shed fills up, one suburb turns into three. Each of those is a content edit: one change on a page that already exists, sent to us however you like.
Up to 5 go through each month, and anything unused finishes with the month, so it is worth sending changes as they come up rather than hoarding them. Anything larger, a whole new page, a new feature, a fresh design, gets a price from us first, and nothing happens until you say yes.
Each of these is one edit
- A new hourly rate for a two-person crew
- Another suburb added to an area page
- Photos of the truck that came back from the signwriter
- Saturday hours changed for winter
- An updated line on the insurance page
The timings behind the fee
Four dates, from the day you say yes to the day the site is taking enquiries.
-
Day 0
You sign up, the setup fee is invoiced, and the content checklist comes to you.
-
Your part
The checklist comes back with logo, photos, suburbs, move types, rates and insurance details. This is the step that sets the clock.
-
Build
We lay out the pages, set the quote form up by move size and connect your domain.
-
Inside 14 days
You review a private preview, send one list of changes, and the site goes live on your own domain.
The terms behind the invoice
The parts owners ask about before signing anything. The full wording sits in the plan terms.
- Setup fee
- A$499, invoiced at sign-up. Returned if you stop before the build starts; once the build is under way it is not returned, except where the law says otherwise.
- The 14 days
- Counted from the moment the checklist is complete. They cover one round of changes after your preview, and days spent waiting on your reply are left out of the count.
- Minimum term
- 12 months from go-live. Finish early and the remaining monthly fees in that term are still owed, unless we seriously broke the terms and left it unfixed for 14 days.
- Ending it
- After the minimum term, written notice before the next billing date. Your site keeps working until the month already invoiced is out.
- Fee changes
- Only once the minimum term is done, with at least 30 days' written notice, and you may leave before the new fee applies.
- GST
- GST may apply. Added only where we are registered for GST at the time of invoicing.
- If you move on
- Your domain and your content go with you, and we help aim the domain elsewhere. The design and code stay with us.
Put your own suburbs on the screen
On the call we open the demo site closest to your work and change it as we talk: your move sizes, your runs, the suburbs your trucks actually reach, the way you handle insurance. Twenty minutes, and you can see the thing before you pay for any of it.
The other ways to spend this money
One plan means there are no tiers of ours to weigh up. The comparison worth making is against a builder subscription, a one-off agency build, or running on a social page alone.
- A builder subscription is cheap on day one and costs you evenings for as long as you own it.
- An agency build is the biggest single cost, arrives before the site has taken one enquiry, and then ages while changes are quoted.
- A social page is free, rented, and gives a suburb search nothing of yours to land on.
Each of those is weighed properly, downsides of our plan included, on other choices.
What owners push back on
"I have paid for a site before and it sat there doing nothing."
Fair. We cannot promise enquiries and nobody honestly can. What we can do on the call is show you the pages your site would carry, the form, the suburb pages, the insurance page, and then keep the thing maintained instead of leaving it to go stale.
"The trucks stay busy on word of mouth anyway."
They still look you up before they ring. A site that shows the runs you do, the sizes you handle and how the goods are covered backs the recommendation up rather than making the caller wonder.
"I am hopeless with computers."
That is fine, because nothing lands on you. Fill in a checklist, send photos, and after that a change is a message to a person, not a login you have to work out.
"What do I have to hand over?"
Logo, photos of trucks and crew, the suburbs and runs you work, the move types you take, any rates you want published, plus insurance and membership details. The run page carries the full checklist.
"A$3,487 across the first year is real money."
It is, and it should be weighed. Set it beside paid search, where advertisers are paying $11-$163 for one click on "removalists", and every one of those clicks arrives on a website that either answers the person or loses them.
"What happens if I want out?"
After 12 months, written notice before the next billing date ends it. Your domain and your content leave with you, and we help point the domain at whatever comes next.
No client quotes on this page, and none made up
The studio is new. There are no removal businesses live on the plan yet, so there is nothing here pretending otherwise: no logos, no star ratings, no invented praise. Once a mover has been running on one of our sites long enough to have a real opinion, we will ask for it, name the business, and put it here.
Until then, judge the plan on what is written above: the fee, the terms, the checklist and the pages you would get.
Questions about the money
Twelve answers covering fees, timing, edits, GST and leaving. If yours is not among them, ask on the call. Nothing has to be signed on it.
What does the monthly fee actually cover?
A working site for a removal business, kept running by us: a page for each kind of move you take, the quote form set up by move size, a page for every suburb and run you work, your insurance and damage page, hosting, the SSL certificate, security patching, up to 5 content edits a month, and a monthly count of the enquiries the site brought in. The A$499 setup fee covers the build itself. Nothing else gets added to the invoice.
How soon does the site go live?
Inside 14 days of your content being complete. Day one is the day the last item on the checklist lands with us, not the day you sign up, so the sooner the truck photos and suburb list arrive, the sooner you are trading online. Those 14 days already allow for one round of changes after you look over the preview, and any days we spend waiting on your reply do not count against them.
When is the setup fee charged?
The A$499 is invoiced at sign-up and covers building the site. Pull out before the build starts and it comes back to you. Once we have started work it is not refundable, except where the law says otherwise.
When does the monthly fee start?
The month the site goes live, and it is billed a month ahead from there. Nothing monthly is charged while the build is still on the workbench, so you are not paying for a site that is not up yet.
Is there a minimum term?
12 months, counted from go-live. After that it rolls on month by month, and either of us can finish it with written notice before the next billing date. Your site keeps working until the last month you paid for is over.
Can I leave inside the first 12 months?
Yes, by written notice, and the monthly fees left in the minimum term are still owed. The exception is if we seriously break the terms and have not put it right within 14 days of you telling us about it.
Does the price include GST?
The figures on this page sit outside GST, because the plan is sold business to business. GST is added only when we are registered for it at the time of invoicing, and the invoice shows it separately. Until that registration is confirmed, the wording here stays "GST may apply".
What counts as one content edit?
A single change on a page that already exists: a new hourly rate, another suburb added to an area page, a photo of the new truck, different Saturday hours, an updated insurance line. Up to 5 of them go through every month and any you do not use expire with the month. Whole new pages, new features or a redesign sit outside the plan, and we tell you what that costs before anyone starts.
Can the monthly fee go up?
Not inside the minimum term. Afterwards it can change only with at least 30 days' written notice, and you are free to finish the plan before the new figure takes effect.
Who owns the domain and the photos?
You do. The domain sits in your business name, and so do the words, photos, logo and rates you hand over. If the plan ends we take the site off our hosting, send you a copy of your own material on request, and help you aim the domain wherever you want it next. The design and the code behind it stay with us.
Do you write the words for my pages?
No. You give us the facts, we lay them out: the moves you take, the suburbs and runs you cover, crew and truck sizes, insurance details and any rates you are happy to publish. Writing your business from scratch is not something this plan does.
Are there other costs?
Your domain renewal, paid straight to the registrar. Beyond that, paid advertising and its spend, logo or brand design, and having your content written are all outside the plan. The plan itself carries no other fees.
