Frequently asked questions about web design
Common questions Australian business owners ask about websites — cost, ownership, hosting, accessibility and process — each linked to its full answer.
This is an index of the questions Australian business owners actually ask before, during and after commissioning a website. Each question links to a full, dedicated answer rather than a one-line reply, because most of them deserve more than a sentence. The questions are grouped the way the decisions actually arrive: what things are, what they cost, who owns what, and what the law expects.
Every answer page is written from professional knowledge of how this work is done in Australia, with the measurement or source behind any figure named on the page itself.
