No matter the package
What’s always included
No add-on tricks. These come standard with every Lovely Pixel project.
-
Senior attention
Your project doesn’t get passed to a junior. You talk to the actual designer and developer doing the work.
-
Mobile-first & fast
Every site is built mobile-first, optimised for Core Web Vitals, and accessible by default. Speed is not an upsell.
-
Real conversation
Phone, video or in-person in Brisbane or Ipswich. Not Slack tickets. Not project portals. Just a chat about your business.
-
SEO foundations
Every site ships with proper metadata, sitemap, schema, GBP-ready local setup and the SEO basics done right.
-
You own the keys
Domain in your name. Hosting in your account. WordPress admin owned by you. Brand source files delivered. No lock-in.
-
Written, fixed quote
Every project gets a written, fixed-scope quote before kickoff — with scope, deliverables, milestones and timeline.
Honest scope
What pushes the price up
We’re not in the business of hidden surprises. Here’s the honest list of what scales a project beyond the starting price.
- More pages. A 30-page site is more work than a 5-page site — we charge for the difference, not for a perception.
- More design rounds. Each starter price covers an honest revision cycle. Extra rounds are billed transparently.
- WooCommerce & memberships. Real commerce: shipping rules, tax, payment integrations and members areas.
- Integrations. Talking to your CRM, accounting, booking tool, ERP, MYOB/Xero or any custom system.
- Content migration. Bringing across hundreds or thousands of blog posts, products or pages.
- Writing the content. If you need words written, not just placed, that’s a copywriting line item.
- Custom photography or illustration. Where stock won’t cut it and we commission or produce something unique.
- Multi-language sites. Each additional language adds build, content and QA scope.
Where we sit
Lovely Pixel vs. Fiverr vs. agency
No shade on freelancers or agencies — both have their place. Here’s where we sit.
$50 – $800
Fine for one-off micro tasks. Less fine when you need something to actually represent your business, work on mobile, rank in search, or hold up under traffic.
- Template-driven output
- Communication gaps & timezone friction
- Rarely built for SEO
- No senior attention

- Long lead times
- Lock-in retainers
FAQ
Pricing — common questions
The questions we get asked most often before the discovery call.
Our studio is in Ipswich, not the Brisbane CBD — so we don’t pay CBD rent, CBD parking or CBD staff overheads. That saving lands in your price. The craft and the senior attention are the same; the agency markup on top isn’t.
Every project is genuinely different — a bakery brochure site and a 60-product Woo store are not the same job. The “from” numbers tell you whether we’re in your ballpark. The final number is a written, fixed-scope quote after a 30-minute chat, and you see it before any deposit changes hands.
It can be — with limits. Our starter logo from $390 is deliberately focused: a tight brief, two concept directions, one round of revisions and a clean file pack (SVG, PNG, transparent, light/dark, social). It’s priced to sit next to freelance work, but the attention is senior and the files actually behave on print and web. If you need mood boards, multiple rounds, brand guidelines and a rollout, that’s a brand identity job — and we’ll tell you up front which one your project really needs.
Not at all. Roughly half of our work is for tradies, sole traders and small businesses doing $200k–$2m a year. Plumbers, sparkies, builders, mobile mechanics, accountants, salons, cafes, allied health, consultants — if you need a real website, real branding or real local SEO without paying agency rates, you’re exactly who our pricing is built around.
The honest list: more pages, more design rounds, WooCommerce or memberships, integrations (CRM, accounting, booking, ERP), large content migrations, custom internal tools, multi-language, custom photography or illustration, and writing copy for you. Whatever pushes the number up, you’ll see it itemised — nothing is hidden.
Yes — every project is split into milestone payments, so you’re never paying for work that hasn’t happened. Typical rhythm: a deposit on kickoff, a milestone on design approval, a milestone on staging, and the balance on launch. Longer engagements can run monthly instead.
Hosting is kept separate from the build so you own the hosting account, the domain and the keys to your site — not us. We recommend Australian-based managed WordPress hosting and we set it up in your name. Expect $25–$80 a month depending on traffic and stack. You can also bring your own host.
Yes — optional plans cover WordPress core, plugin and theme updates, security and uptime monitoring, daily backups and a small monthly allowance for content edits. Plans start at $90/month for brochure sites and scale up for commerce and integration-heavy stacks. Maintenance is never compulsory.
Yes — that’s how every Lovely Pixel project starts. After a 30-minute discovery call (phone, video or in-person in Brisbane or Ipswich) we send a written, fixed-scope quote with milestones, deliverables and timelines. No deposit until you say yes. Book a discovery call.
