Compare our Web Design & Hosting Services
SUTTONNet custom-builds every website, based on extensive client consultation. We don't provide definitive quotes without talking with you in detail about your goals & needs.
On this page we show you our hosting prices, starting prices for SUTTONNet websites and what you get for your $. If something is missing that your website will need, just contact us & ask.
There's also a form on this webpage to help you:
- explore what you need from your new website. Print or save the completed form for your own use;
- if you want, send in your form to SUTTONNet and request a quote from us.

Compare hosting & web design
How can anyone compare web development and webhosting value? There are very few standards or even standard definitions!
Some features touted by web designers & hosting companies don't mean much; or they are so fundamental that no competent web developer would omit them. Conversely, important items might be missing from very cheap & DIY services. Make sure that you access the technical knowhow which your business needs to succeed online.

Upfront cost, ongoing value
Check out all ongoing costs, & the quality of service & support you will receive:
- webhosting
- email hosting (does the webhost offer own-domain email hosting?)
- website or hosting support
- website software licences
- plugin/theme licences
- essential software updates (who will install them, if you have to DIY, how difficult is it?)
- serach engine optimisation & digital marketing.
Watch out for hidden extras: eg ecommerce providers & payment gateways might charge annual fees &/or percentage fees per sale. If your busness relies on one confident employee for website tasks: what happens when they are on leave, or if they get a job elsewhere?
Service levels - You can find cheaper alternatives than our fully managed webhosting with 24/7 support. The big question is: if your website's server goes down on a Saturday night, who will fix it and when?
Search engine rankings - By starting out right with a well built website and well written webpage content, many businesses don't need to budget for exorbitant, ongoing search engine optimisation (SEO) costs. Very few SUTTONNet clients ever need SEO support.
Longevity - A SUTTONNet website is built to last for many years. You can add features over time: eg more webpages, ecommerce, re-arrange pages in the menu, new layouts or colours. That's faster and cheaper than creating an all-new website every few years, as your business grows.

Our prices: websites & hosting
SUTTONNet websites start at $2000; ecommerce sites start at $4500 (prices ex GST).*
We also offer mini websites without a content management system, at discounted development & hosting prices.
Prices may go up for a fully 'ready to go' site, with text & imagery, page layout and search engine optimisation completed for you across all the website (rather than just the main pages). It ensures consistent layout and quality, and it can get your website underway faster.
