If you’re a tradie or rural business owner in New Zealand wondering, “How much does a website cost these days?” — you’re not alone. In 2025, prices are everywhere. You’ll see quotes ranging from a few hundred bucks all the way up to $5,000+ for a simple site. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to spend thousands to get a solid, professional website that actually works.
Here’s what goes into the cost of a website — and how Acre Creative Studio keeps things affordable for hardworking tradies who just want to get found online.
Why do some websites cost so much?
Big agencies often charge eye-watering prices for basic builds. Why?
- Teams of designers, developers, project managers (and someone who just makes flat whites)
- Fancy city centre offices
- Long timelines with lots of fluff and back-and-forth
Sure, those sites might be packed with bells and whistles — but if all you need is a clean, good-looking website to show off your work, list your services, and make it easy for clients to contact you? That’s overkill.
What do you actually need as a tradie?
Most tradies and small rural businesses need:
- A home page that makes a great first impression
- A services page (what you do and where)
- A gallery or project page
- An about section
- Clear contact details (preferably clickable on mobile)
That’s it. No fluff, no features you’ll never use, and definitely no agency-sized invoice.
Acre Creative Studio Website Pricing (No hidden fees. No nonsense.)
Here’s how I do things:
💻 Multi-page website: $300
Perfect for builders, sparkies, mechanics, and anyone who needs a proper web presence.
📄 One-page website: $200
Great if you just need the essentials all on one tidy scrollable page.
Both options are:
- Built on Rocketspark (super fast, super easy for you to edit later)
- Designed to look professional and load quickly
- SEO-friendly, so you can actually get found
- Mobile responsive (because that’s where your customers are)
How do I keep the prices so low?
Easy.
I don’t have an overpriced office. I’m not outsourcing to a team of ten. I work from home, between school pick-ups, and keep things streamlined. You’re not paying for a boardroom — you’re paying for a solid website, built by someone who actually gets your business.
No jargon. No BS. Just affordable, hardworking websites for hardworking people.
So, what’s the real cost of a website for a NZ based Tradie or small business in 2025?
In 2025, the cost of not having a website is starting to add up. Lost jobs, missed leads, and being invisible when someone searches for your service.
For $200–$300, you can get a website that puts you on the map — literally (hello Google Maps), and digitally. And you can get it done without blowing the budget.
