How it works

Three steps. Zero risk.

The whole point: you see your finished website before you decide to spend anything.

1Step 1

Tell us about your business

Fill out a quick form — your business, your vibe, any site you have now. Takes 30 seconds. That's all we need to start.

2Step 2

We build it — free

We design and build your custom site and put it live so you can see the real thing. No mockups, no stock templates. You pay nothing at this stage.

3Step 3

You only pay if you love it

Love it? It's a one-time $990 to launch and own it. Don't love it? Walk away, owe nothing.

No outsourcing. No middlemen.

Small businesses get ripped off on websites. We don't do that.

Most web designers charge thousands up front, then quietly send the work overseas. You pay for the middleman, not the website.

We build every site ourselves, show it to you live, and you only pay if you love it. The quote is the price, with nothing added later.

“Max and Dan built my whole store for free and I only paid once I saw it live and loved it. It looks exactly like my brand and sales have been so much easier since. Highly recommend these two.”

“Professional from start to finish. Max and Dan made us look like the established business we are, and it didn't cost us a fortune. Couldn't fault them.”

Who you're working with

Two people. Real accountability.

We're Max & Daniel — that's the Max and Daniel in MAD Develops. We're a small Australian team that builds fast, modern websites for local businesses, and we back it with something most agencies won't: you don't pay until you're happy.

When you work with us, you talk to us — not a call centre, not a chatbot. We answer the phone, we make the edits, and we're here after launch. That's the whole idea.

Questions

Everything you're probably wondering

Is it really free? What's the catch?

There's no catch. We build your full website first and put it live so you can see the real thing. You pay nothing until you approve it. If you love it, it's a one-time $990 to launch plus $39/month. If you don't, you walk away and owe nothing.

Is $990 always the price, or can it be more?

$990 is our price for a standard business website — the kind you see in most of our work. If your project needs extra functionality (an online store, bookings, memberships, custom features or a lot of pages), it may sit above the standard tier. If so, we'll tell you the exact price up front before we build anything — no surprise costs, ever. Most local business sites land at the $990 mark.

What does the $39/month cover?

Everything to keep your site running and current: hosting, security, SSL, your professional email, and small edits whenever you need a change (text, photos, prices, hours). No separate bills for domain, hosting or maintenance — it's all in the one monthly. No lock-in contract.

What if I stop the monthly plan — do I lose my website?

No. Your website and your domain name belong to you, and there's no lock-in contract. If you stop the $39/month Care Plan, just let us know: your site stays live on hosting only ($19/month for hosting, your domain and email), and any changes after that are charged at $95/hour. If you'd rather leave altogether, we'll hand over your site and domain so you can host it anywhere. You're never held hostage.

What counts as a “small edit”?

Everyday updates: new photos, prices, opening hours, contact details, wording changes and seasonal specials. Just email or message us and we'll have most done within one business day, included in your $39/month. Bigger jobs like new pages, new features or a redesign are quoted up front at $95/hour, so there are never surprise bills.

How much does a website cost in Australia?

Most Australian agencies quote $3,000–$8,000 for a small business website, plus ongoing fees. Ours is $990 to build a standard business website plus $39/month for hosting, domain, email and small edits — and you pay nothing until you've seen it live and love it.

Should I just use Wix or Squarespace instead?

You can, if you've got the time to build and maintain it yourself. For $990 we build a custom site for you, handle all the tech, and make any changes you need — so you can get on with running your business.

Will my website show up on Google?

Every site we build is fast, mobile-first and set up for search — proper page titles, service and location content, and Google Search Console. For local businesses we'll also help you get your Google Business Profile right, which drives most "near me" searches.

How long does it take?

We can usually have your first version live within 48 hours of getting your details. From there it's quick back-and-forth until it's exactly right.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Once you launch, the site is yours. The monthly keeps it hosted, secure and maintained — but the site and your domain belong to you.

I already have a website. Can you upgrade it?

Absolutely — that's a lot of what we do. Send us your current site and we'll rebuild it better. Same deal: see the new version first, pay only if you prefer it.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

All sorts — from local trades, cafes, salons and clinics to online stores, booking systems and full web apps. Whether you need a clean professional site or something more custom, we can build it. The $990 covers a standard business website; larger or more complex builds (e-commerce, custom features, lots of pages) are quoted up front so there are never surprises.

What happens after I fill out the form?

We'll give you a quick call or message to confirm the details and make sure we're a good fit — then we get building. You can also reach us anytime at hello@maddevs.com.au.
