The honest answer to "how much does an electrician website cost?" is a range, and the range is wide because the word website covers everything from a single page to a booking platform. Here is what the price bands look like in Australia in 2026, what you get at each level, and where electricians tend to overspend.
What you are actually paying for
A website quote bundles several different jobs: planning the pages, writing or editing the words, designing the layout, building it so it works on phones, connecting the domain, setting up the basics search engines need, and testing everything before launch. Quotes vary mostly because of how much of that work is done for you versus left to you, and how custom the design is.
Typical price bands in Australia (2026)
- DIY builders (roughly $200–$600 a year plus your time). Fine if you enjoy it. Most owners underestimate the evenings it takes and end up with a site they are not proud of.
- Fixed-price one-page site ($499). Home, services and contact in one scrolling page, mobile-friendly, basic SEO setup, domain connected. At YINO this is delivered in 3 business days.
- Fixed-price multi-page site ($999). Up to eight pages with a custom structure, copy tidy-up, Google Maps, migration of existing content, delivered in about 7 business days.
- Custom build (from $2,500). Bookings, e-commerce, integrations with your software, bespoke design. Timeline depends on scope.
- Agency projects ($5,000–$15,000 and up). Discovery workshops, brand work and larger content programs. Rarely necessary for a single-location trade or practice.
What an electrician usually needs
Because so many electrician enquiries are urgent, a one-page site that gets the phone number, services and suburbs live quickly is a reasonable first step. The pages that earn their keep are an EV charger page (a growing search topic with high job value), a switchboard and safety page explaining what a compliance check covers and a commercial page if you service shops and offices. If you want those as separate, searchable pages, the multi-page band is the right fit; if you want to be live this week, start with one page and expand.
Ongoing costs nobody mentions in the quote
- Domain name: roughly $20–$40 a year for a .com.au.
- Hosting: anywhere from $10 to $50 a month depending on how the site is built; ask what is included.
- Updates and care: small text and photo changes, software updates, backups and checks. A care plan such as YINO's $49 a month covers this; the alternative is paying by the hour when something breaks.
- Photos: a few hours of your own time or a half-day with a photographer. Budget for this; it changes results more than any design choice.
Where electricians waste money
The expensive mistakes are rarely about paying too much for the build. They are paying for things that do not bring in work: no mention of the certificate you hand over, which is exactly what careful customers look for, or one page that mixes emergency faults with $3,000 EV installs. A feature that sounds impressive in a sales meeting — animations, a members area, a chatbot — should be tested against one question: will this get one more customer to call?
How to compare quotes
- Ask for the page list and what is included per page. Two quotes with the same total can cover very different scopes.
- Ask who writes the words. Copy is where most projects stall.
- Ask whether you own the domain and the site files, and what it costs to leave.
- Ask for the delivery time in business days once content is supplied.
- Ask what happens after launch: updates, hosting, support.
Common questions
How do I show customers I am licensed?
Put the licence number in the header or hero, not just the footer, and mention the safety certificate you issue on every job.
Do I need a .com.au domain?
For an Australian business, .com.au signals you are local and requires an ABN, which customers and search engines both read as a trust signal. Keep the .com too if you already own it.
How long does a small business website take to build?
A focused one-page site can be live in about 3 business days once the content is ready; a site with service pages usually takes around 7 business days. The part that slows most projects is gathering photos and deciding on prices, not the build itself.
YINO builds focused websites for Australian local businesses: $499 for a one-page site delivered in 3 business days, $999 for up to 8 pages. If you are weighing up a refresh versus a rebuild, start with website refresh; otherwise get in touch.
