Custom websites built to load in under a second and rank in Sydney.

Aurasite designs and builds custom websites for Sydney small businesses. No page builders, no themes, no plugins: every page is written by hand, loads in under a second on a phone, and ships with the technical SEO that page-builder sites bolt on later, if ever.

The website is the front door to the system behind it. Ours connect to the automations and custom software that turn an enquiry into a booked job. Pricing is per page, from $1,500.

// WHAT IS INCLUDEDIN EVERY WEBSITE

Website design that treats speed and search as structure.

Most small business websites are slow because of what was bolted on. Ours are fast because of what was left out. Everything below is standard on every build, at any size.

WB-01Design from scratchLayout, type and imagery designed around your content and customers. Nothing is reused between clients. You approve real pages, not mock-ups.
WB-02Hand-written, static pagesPlain HTML and CSS served from a global edge network. No WordPress, no database to hack, nothing to update on a Tuesday night.
WB-03Core Web Vitals passedLargest Contentful Paint under 2.5 seconds is the floor, under one second is the target. Images sized and compressed, fonts preloaded, no layout shift.
WB-04Local SEO foundationsClean semantic markup, one keyword-led H1 per page, titles and descriptions written, LocalBusiness schema, sitemap and Search Console set up on launch.
WB-05Content written with youOptional. We interview you and write every page in plain English, then check readability and keyword placement before it goes live.
WB-06Forms that go somewhereEnquiry forms that land in your inbox, your CRM or an Airtable base with a reply sent in minutes. See automation.
WB-07Analytics and monitoringGA4 and session recording wired from day one, plus uptime and error alerts, so you know what the site is doing.
WB-08Hosting, launch and 30 days of fixesWe deploy it, move the domain, and fix anything that breaks in the first month. Then it is yours: code, hosting and accounts.
// HOW IT WORKSBRIEF TO LAUNCH
ST-01Brief and fixed quoteTell us what the site has to do and roughly how many pages. One fixed number within 48 hours, priced per page.
ST-02Content firstWe start from what the site has to say. You supply the words, or we interview you and draft them. Design follows content, not the other way round.
ST-03Design and build togetherPages are designed in the browser, so what you approve is what ships. Mobile is built first because that is where most of your visitors are.
ST-04Launch, measure, adjustRedirects from the old site, sitemap submitted, PageSpeed checked on every page. Thirty days later we look at the analytics with you.
// WHO IT SUITSFROM ONE PAGE TO A FULL STORE

A good fit

Sydney and NSW businesses whose website has to win work: trades, clinics, salons, studios, consultancies, retailers with a small catalogue. Especially businesses on a slow page-builder site that has stopped ranking, or moving off WordPress after one too many plugin failures.

Also a good fit

Online stores, from a small catalogue to a large one with search, filters and checkout, built on the same fast foundations. Quick turnarounds too: a brochure site can ship in days when the content is ready.

If your team edits content daily, we build a custom CMS around your pages, so editing stays simple without a plugin stack slowing the site down.

// QUESTIONSASKED BEFORE MOST BRIEFS

How much does a custom website cost in Sydney?

Aurasite websites are priced per page, from $1,500 AUD for a small site. A four-page launch site is around $2,700; a site with booking, automations and written content sits between $5,000 and $10,000. The pricing page has a live estimate and the number is fixed in writing within 48 hours of a brief.

Do you use WordPress or a page builder?

No. Every site is hand-written and served as static pages, which is why they load in under a second and have nothing to hack or update. If you need to edit content often we add a lightweight editor or a Markdown workflow, and we will tell you honestly if WordPress is the better fit.

Will my site rank on Google?

Every build ships with the technical foundations that rankings depend on: fast pages, clean markup, written titles and descriptions, schema, a sitemap and Search Console. Rankings themselves depend on content and competition, which is why we write for one clear keyword per page and can keep publishing for you afterwards.

How long does a website take?

A small site ships in two to three weeks from approved content. Larger builds with custom features run four to eight weeks. The quote includes a launch date.

Can I edit the site myself?

Yes. You own the code and hosting. Small text changes are simple in the files, and we can add an editing workflow where it is needed. Thirty days of changes after launch are included.

Your site should load before the customer blinks. Fixed quote in 48 hours.
