Open demoA simple way to get your business online
Paxlume Web Studio is an independent Brisbane-based web design studio that builds affordable one-page websites for small businesses.
Clear, fixed pricing
You know the price before any work starts. Anything extra, like a custom domain, is explained and quoted separately.
You deal with one person
Talk to the person building your site, by email. You get a preview link to review before anything is published.
One clear starter package
For sole traders and small local businesses that need one professional page showing what they do and how to get in touch.
You own your website. It's published on free hosting in an account in your name, and I help you set it up. If you'd like a custom domain or paid hosting, you buy it directly and keep full control.
Not included: custom domain names, paid hosting, online stores, booking systems or ongoing maintenance. If you need these, ask and I'll explain the options and costs first.

Common questions
Who is this for?
Small local businesses and sole traders, such as lawn care, cleaning, detailing, trades and tutoring, that need a simple, professional website.
How long does it take?
A Starter website is typically ready in 10–14 business days after I've received your content (services, contact details, any logo or photos) and we've agreed on the scope. More complex projects can take longer. I'll confirm a timeline that suits my availability before any work starts.
Who owns the website?
You do. Wherever possible your site is hosted in an account in your name, so you keep control of it. I help with the setup and publishing. Optional extras like a custom domain or paid hosting are paid by you directly to the provider.
Do I need a domain name?
No. Your site can be published on a free web address. If you'd like your own domain (like yourbusiness.com.au), you buy it yourself and I'll help connect it.
Can I make changes later?
One round of revisions is included before launch. Changes after that can be quoted separately.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer, in two parts: $125 once you've accepted the written quote and terms, and $125 once you've approved the final preview, before your site goes live. Bank details are only supplied privately on your invoice, and I'll never email you changed bank details. Nothing is paid through this website, and it's free to enquire.
Can you build an online shop or booking system?
Not in the $250 starter package. If you need more, get in touch and we can talk about what's realistic.
Are the example sites real businesses?
No. GreenEdge, ShineWorks and BrightPath are fictional businesses created to demonstrate design work. Paxlume is a new studio and doesn't claim past client results.
