Who these packages are for

Is a package right for your business?

Packages work best when your needs fit a defined scope. If they don’t, we’ll tell you and scope a bespoke project instead.
A package suits you if you:
Win work through enquiries, calls or bookings
Need a first proper website, or a rebuild
Don’t have in-house design or development staff
Want a fixed price and a clear scope
Go bespoke if you need:
eCommerce, memberships or customer portals
Custom features or connections to your internal systems
Extended UX research or user testing
Enterprise governance or infrastructure
How we work

Senior direction on every decision. Automation on the repetitive work.

James (design and UX) and Ben (development) plan every project, set the creative and technical direction, and approve everything before it goes live. AI-assisted tooling handles repetitive production, and that output is reviewed against the same standards as our bespoke work.
Strategy
Plan with you
We map your goals, audience, pages and content with you before any design starts.
Design
Design direction
James sets the creative direction for your site and refines it with you.
Production
Systemised production
Approved layouts are rolled out across your pages using our own component system.
Development
Technical review
Ben reviews the build, performance, security and integrations before anything launches.
Optimisation
Search and tracking
On-page SEO, structured data and analytics set up so you can see what’s working.
Support
Yours to edit
A WordPress site you can update yourself, with training at handover and hosting and support after launch.
Working with Checkpoint Creative was a game-changer for our horse stud. Their Wordpress expertise and design skills helped us create a website that truly captures our brand and what we stand for. We couldn't be happier with the results!

Frequently asked questions

Have a question about our packages? Browse the FAQs below, or get in touch and we'll point you in the right direction.
Do you build websites with accessibility in mind?

Yes. Accessibility is part of how we build, not an afterthought. We follow WCAG 2.1 guidelines across all projects, covering keyboard navigation, colour contrast, screen reader compatibility, and semantic HTML structure. For clients with specific accessibility requirements, such as government or health sector organisations, we can conduct more thorough audits and implement full WCAG AA compliance.

How do I pick the best web design company in Sydney for my project?

Look at their portfolio and check whether the work is relevant to your type of project. A studio that builds enterprise platforms operates differently from one that focuses on small business sites. Read the case studies, not just the testimonials. Ask how they handle scope, revisions, and post-launch support. And speak directly with the people doing the work. We’re happy to have that conversation book a discovery call and we’ll tell you straight whether we’re the right fit.

What makes Checkpoint Creative stand out from other Sydney web design agencies?

We’re a two-person studio, which means you work directly with the people designing and building your site from day one. There are no account managers handling your project. We’ve worked across a wide range of clients, from small businesses through to enterprise teams at Domain Group, so we understand how to scope and deliver at different levels of complexity. We also provide ongoing hosting and support, so the relationship continues well beyond launch.

How long does it take to get a new website up and running?

Most projects take between 4 and 12 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and complexity. A fixed-scope small business package typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. A custom build with integrations, multiple stakeholders, or complex UX requirements will take longer. We scope every project clearly upfront so you know what to expect before we start.

What does it cost to design and build a website?

Our fixed-scope small business packages start from $4,400 ex GST and include design, development, and 12 months of hosting and support. Custom projects are scoped individually and most fall between $8,000 and $30,000 ex GST depending on complexity, integrations, and design scope. We provide a clear, detailed quote before any work begins with no hidden costs.

How long has Checkpoint Creative been operating?

Since 2017. In that time we’ve worked with clients ranging from early-stage startups to enterprise teams at Domain Group, across web design, development, UX, and ongoing support.

Is Checkpoint Creative only based in Sydney?

We’re based in Sydney but work with clients across Australia. Most of our process is remote-friendly. Discovery, design review, and feedback all happen via video call and shared tools. For Sydney-based clients, we’re available to meet in person where that’s useful.

Should I have a blog on my website?

It depends on whether you have the capacity to publish consistently. A blog that’s regularly updated with useful, specific content is a strong SEO asset. A blog with three posts from two years ago can work against you by signalling an inactive site. If you’re committed to a content strategy, we’ll set it up with the right structure, categories, and SEO foundations. If you’re not sure yet, we’d suggest starting without one and adding it when you’re ready.

Can you write the content for our website?

We offer copywriting as an optional add-on at $200 per page ex GST. We work from a brief covering your services, tone, and key messages, and write copy that’s clear, direct, and optimised for search. For small business packages, copywriting can be added at the time of enquiry.

What about ongoing costs after the website is up?

Ongoing costs typically cover hosting, domain renewal, and maintenance. Our hosting and support plans start from $129 per month ex GST and cover managed hosting, security monitoring, backups, core and plugin updates, and a support allocation for changes and fixes. Domain renewal is usually $20 to $30 per year depending on your registrar. All of this is confirmed before we start.
