About Us

Tangled Web Design works with small businesses to deliver websites that meet business needs and budgets and deliver a positive user experience to customers.

We recognise that not every business needs all the bells and whistles: some just need an alternative to a phone directory listing, while others need a tailored approach to reach more potential customers and increase conversions and sales.  

We will work with you to identify your business goals so that your website can be found by the right people in the right areas and look great across all devices.

Whether you need a basic one-page website or a multi-page site detailing your range of services, let us design, build and manage your site so that you can focus on your business.

Website Design

Our Websites

WordPress provides a range of templates and tools to design functional, great-looking websites that are easy to change and offers the flexibility to add extra pages over time as your business needs change.  

Its design makes it easy for search engines to index content so your website will appear higher in Google searches for the keywords that are included on your site.  

Around 60% of web searches are conducted on mobile phones, so we make sure that your website looks good, loads quickly and is easy to navigate on all devices.

Our websites are designed by locals and hosted by FastComet on servers located in Sydney, Australia

Here’s a quick glimpse of some of the websites that we’ve created and how they appear on a desktop, tablet and mobile.

Frequently Asked Questions

This depends on the complexity of website, the functionality you need, number of pages, the time involved to build it and what extras you need.  A simple one-page website for a sole trader can cost as little as $1,000 and a 5-page business website (home page, about us/contact page and 3 specialist pages) will start at around $3,000.

These prices are based on all content for the site (text, own photos, logos etc) being provided by the customer, with no copywriting, additional software or licenses required.

You should factor in:
  • rental of your domain name (approx $25/year for a .com.au address through FastComet)
  • hosting your website
  • security (SSL) certificates
  • website backups
  • ongoing updates to themes and plug-ins
  • updating content and links
  • ongoing SEO and content updates
  • software licenses if applicable
If we manage your site on an ongoing basis, we can negotiate an annual package that includes hosting, backups, theme and plug-in updates, licence fees and SEO (optional).

Costs that we may incur (with your agreement)

  • domain name registration (this is essential if you don’t already have an address for your website)
  • security certificate (SSL) (issued free-of-charge if your website is hosted on our FastComet server)
  • licenses for specialised plug-ins or software (eg for premium features and web payments)
  • licenses for the rights to display photos that we source on your behalf
  • content development (copywriting and editing)

Other services you might use to provide content for your website

  • logo design
  • photography
  • video production

The best thing that you can do to minimise costs is to provide us with the raw content for your website in a usable format.  This will limit the time that we need to spend on top of the website build on writing (or editing) copy, sourcing relevant photos and tweaking logos, pictures, colour schemes and fonts.

Limiting website functions to those that are included with free themes and plug-ins will also save you from additional expenses.

  • have logos and photos (that you have rights to use) in a format that is easy to upload (for example .png or .jpg)
  • have the copy (wording) for your website written simply in a word document 
  • if you have a style guide or corporate colour scheme, provide a copy 
  • if you have a ‘look’ in mind, provide examples of what you do and don’t like


Canva is a great resource for creating your own logo, finding photos, icons and pictures and exploring colour schemes.

A quick search of ‘free photos’ will identify sites such as Pixabay, iStock, StockSnap and Pexels that have photos that can be used free-of-charge, however custom or purchased photos are preferred by Google to increase search engine rankings.

If you have engaged Tangled Web to develop your website, you will own the content and the right to the domain name.  You will be able to transfer your website to another domain host/company or your own host.

If you are renting a website from Tangled Web, we retain the right to the domain name and any content (text, photos, videos) that we have provided and you retain ownership of any content that you have provided.  In this case, you will not be able to transfer your page to another domain host/company but can re-use any content that you gave us on your new website.

Once you cease renting the site I will deactivate the page.  Depending on your plans, I can either leave the page in draft mode (if you think you may use it in future) or I can remove all content that you have provided (if you will re-use it on a new website), as per your instruction at the time.  In either case, Tangled Web will not re-use any of the content that you own.

No, all of our website development and content writing is done within Australia and we use people, not artificial intelligence to create our content.

We are located in Pirie Street in Adelaide’s East End precinct and off Commercial Street West in Mount Gambier.   In order to keep our prices low, we work from home and will generally work with you via video chat.
