DIY builder
You choose the template, write the pages, connect the domain, test the forms and stay responsible for later changes.
The easiest business website is the one with a clear owner for every job
A website becomes difficult when responsibility is scattered. The owner writes the copy, a freelancer builds some pages, another company holds the domain and nobody is sure who fixes the form six months later.
The easiest route depends on how much work you want to keep. A DIY builder gives you control and a blank system. A project build can deliver a finished site with a handover. A managed service keeps one provider responsible for the writing, build, launch, hosting and routine updates.
Choose the kind of responsibility you want
DIY can suit someone who enjoys learning the software, has time to write and wants to make every design decision. A one-off project can suit a business with finished copy, a clear brief and someone available to manage hosting afterwards.
A managed website suits an owner who can supply business facts and feedback but does not want to become the copywriter, designer, DNS contact and update person. The trade-off is an ongoing plan rather than a single handover.
Project build
A provider builds to an agreed scope, then responsibility for hosting, fixes and content may move back to you or another supplier.
Managed website
You supply and approve the business facts. The provider writes, builds, hosts, supports and updates the site under an ongoing plan.
Make sure “easy” still includes the launch work
A page is not finished when it looks good in a preview. The phone number, form delivery, mobile layout, domain settings, SSL, redirects, metadata and crawlable content all need checking before launch.
Ask who owns each task and what happens after the site is live. If the answer is “you can log in and work it out”, the easy part may only cover the initial template.
Zenora Digital’s version of the managed route
You start by sending rough information about the business. We clarify gaps, draft the copy and build a private site for review. After approval, we handle the launch checks and domain connection.
Hosting, SSL, monitoring, backups, support and fair-use content updates remain included while the plan is active. The service has a 12-month minimum, so it is worth comparing the full commitment and inclusions before deciding.
Know when the plan is not the right fit
The plan is built for service-business websites. It does not include an online store, a purpose-built booking platform, paid advertising, social media management or a new brand identity. A business that wants full hands-on control of every technical setting may also prefer a DIY or project route.
If the site is a straightforward home, contact and service-page build and you want somebody responsible after launch, the managed route is likely the closer fit.
From rough details to a site you can approve
You do not need to arrive with finished website copy. Tell us how the business works and send what is already available: services, areas or locations, photos, credentials, reviews and customer questions. We use those details to shape the first version.
1. Tell us about the work
Use the contact form to explain what the business does and what is wrong with the current website, if there is one. Bullet points, old links and phone photos are useful.
2. Check the working site
We clarify missing facts, draft the copy and build a private version. You check the services, wording, images and contact prompts before approving anything.
3. Launch with the upkeep covered
We check the forms, phone links, mobile layout and metadata, then connect the domain and set up the hosting. After launch, support and fair-use content updates remain part of the plan.
A known price, with the ongoing work included
The Managed Website Plan is $199 per month with a 12-month minimum, which is $2,388 over the minimum term. The annual option is $1,999. Prices do not include GST.
Check the plan before you enquireThe plan covers the copy and build for a home page, contact page and up to five service pages. Extra service pages are $100 each. It also covers hosting, SSL, backups, monitoring, support and fair-use content updates while the plan is active.
Domain purchases and renewals are separate. We confirm the cost before buying or renewing anything. Your domain stays yours when it is registered in your name.
Most complete sites are ready in four to six weeks. Timing depends on when we receive the business details, photos and feedback. No website provider can promise a Google ranking, traffic level or number of enquiries. Those outcomes are not part of the offer.
Choose the amount of website work you want to keep.
If the answer is “as little as practical”, send the business details and current website link. We will tell you whether the managed plan fits.
