Canberra · 5 years experience · From A$150

Deposit → sample → balance
You keep the domain
Most website quotes hide the real cost inside vague packages. Kerned flips that. You get a sharp site for a fixed build fee — and every infrastructure cost is published before you pay.
I’ve been building websites for five years. Kerned is for Canberra sole traders and small teams who want something considered, without weeks of back-and-forth. I usually reply the same day.

FAQ
Straight answers.
What does A$150 include?
Up to 5 pages, mobile layout, contact form, basic SEO setup, and one revision round. You supply copy and photos.
How does deposit payment work?
You pay a deposit to start. I build a sample for you to review. The remaining balance is due only when you’re satisfied and ready to launch.
How fast do you reply?
I usually reply the same day. Most drafts follow soon after the brief and assets arrive.
What is not included?
Full brand identity, ecommerce, memberships, open-ended redesign loops, or writing every word from scratch.
Do I own the website?
Yes. The domain is in your name, and you keep the site files and access.
Can the scope go bigger?
Yes. If you need more than 5 pages or extra features, I’ll quote that separately — still with open numbers, and variable costs marked “from”.
Start
Send the brief. I’ll usually reply the same day.
If it fits the A$150 / 5-page scope, we start with a deposit. If it doesn’t, you still get a clear quote.
