Web design & development

One website. One person.
Start to finish.

I’m David Fabri, and I design and build every Bitstream Media website myself — here in the Macarthur region, where I’ve lived for nearly 40 years. No account managers, no ticket queue, no rented page-builder you’ll never really own. Just a fast, secure WordPress site, built properly, by the person who answers when you call.

Ways to work together

Three ways to get
a website.

A full custom build, a single knockout page, or the whole lot handled for one monthly amount. Different businesses, different needs — but the same care and the same security in every one.

The one-pager

Studio

One beautifully crafted custom page.

$2,950

One-off — or 10% down and spread the rest over up to 24 months.

  • One custom-designed page — your story, your offer, a gallery, and an enquiry flow built around how your business actually works
  • You see the design concept before you spend a cent
  • One round of changes included
  • Google Business Profile setup included
  • Security hardened, with Wordfence included
  • Yours to edit afterwards

10% deposit, then the rest spread over up to 24 months — the same total, just split up, at no extra cost. You own it — domain and content yours from the start.

Website as a service

Essentials Plan

Everything handled, one monthly amount.

By invitation

For home studios, makers and sole traders — get in touch.

  • Your website, built from a designed concept
  • Domain, managed hosting and SSL — all included
  • Wordfence security, watching the site around the clock
  • Content updates done for you — message me the change and it’s done
  • Built in the studio’s quieter lanes — live within 6–8 weeks

A 24-month plan. At the end, the site is yours outright — and it simply steps down to standard hosting. No starting over, no holding your site hostage. That’s the part most website subscriptions won’t offer.

Ask about Essentials

The Essentials Plan isn’t a cut-down Signature — it’s a different product for a different-sized business. And if you’ve a bigger build in mind — an online store, a web app, something properly bespoke — that’s a conversation. Get in touch and I’ll scope and quote it.

All prices in AUD, ex GST.

Keep it running

Keeping it live.

Every website needs a home. Hosting & Domain Management is the baseline that keeps yours live, fast and secure — and a Care Plan is the optional extra on top, if you’d like the updates handled for you too. Itemised either way, so nothing’s bundled where you can’t see it.

Essential

Hosting & Domain Management

$29/month

Generally not optional — a website needs a home. Managed hosting, your domain, SSL and a CDN, automated backups and updates, and Wordfence watching the site around the clock. It keeps the site live, fast and secure, without you having to think about it.

12-month minimum.

Optional

Care Plan

$29/month

The optional extra on top: text, images, opening hours, small tweaks — done for you — plus ongoing modernisation so the site doesn’t quietly age. Effectively having me on retainer: any update you can’t make yourself, send it my way and it’s done.

3-month minimum, then month-to-month.

How I work

A clear process,
start to finish.

01

Talk it through

We start with a proper chat — your goals, your customers, what the site actually needs to do. No assumptions, no templates pulled off a shelf.

02

See the design

I show you design concepts before you spend a cent. You react, I refine — so you know exactly what you’re getting before the build starts.

03

Build & refine

I build it — clean, fast, custom-coded — then we run through your rounds of changes together. Nothing gets lost in a hand-off, because there is no hand-off.

04

Launch & hand over

I test it, launch it, and hand it over — and it’s yours to edit from your phone, as simply as sending a text. I don’t hand over the keys and disappear.

Why it’s different

Built to own,
never rented.

Every site I build is real, builder-backed WordPress on an open platform — not a subscription page-builder you rent forever and can never take with you. It’s custom-coded, lean, and genuinely understood, because I’m an engineer, not a plugin-installer. The help-desk, licensing system and live-chat platform running this very business were all written in-house — that’s the depth that goes into your site too.

Every build ships security hardened, with Wordfence — and so does every hosting plan. Pricing is itemised, so nothing’s bundled where you can’t see it. And when something comes up, you deal with one person who knows your setup and answers the phone — not a ticket queue.

Flexible payment · website build

Your website build shouldn’t need a
big cheque upfront.

Spread the cost of your build into simple monthly payments — get the site working for you now and pay it off over time. No lock-in, low-risk, and yours the day it’s paid.

1

Pay upfront

Prefer to settle it in one go? Pay in full — or split it 50% to start, 50% on launch.

2

Pay monthly

Put 10% down to get started, then spread the rest into monthly payments over 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 months — the same total, just split up.

3

Put more down

Want a smaller monthly? Go beyond the 10% — put 25%, 50% or a custom amount down — and spread only the rest.

  • No extra cost to spread it
  • No lock-in
  • Pay it off any time
  • You own your site

Flexible terms cover your one-off website build — hosting, a care plan & your domain are a small, separate monthly cost.

from just a few dollars a day* the same total, split over up to 60 months

*Illustrative only. Every build is quoted per project — prices vary and can change over time, and your figures are set in your proposal. It’s simply paying Bitstream Media over time: the same total, split into monthly payments, with no third party and nothing to apply for. You own the finished design & build once it’s paid for; your domain and content are yours from day one. Hosting, a care plan & domain are a small, separate monthly cost, not part of the build price. All prices AUD, ex GST.

Let’s get your website
working for you.

Tell me what you need it to do — sell, book, or simply be found — and I’ll come back with a plan and a clear, itemised price. No obligation, and you’ll talk to me, not a queue.

FAQ

Website FAQs

How much does a website cost?

It depends what you need, and every price is itemised up front. My Studio one-pager is $2,950 and my Signature multi-page build is $4,950 (both AUD, ex GST). Bigger builds — online stores, web apps, something properly bespoke — are scoped and quoted per project. Prefer to pay monthly? You can spread a build over time at no extra cost. And the Essentials Plan rolls the site, hosting, domain and updates into one monthly amount — that one's by invitation, so get in touch.

What's the difference between Signature, Studio and Essentials?

Signature is the full custom, multi-page build ($4,950). Studio is a single, beautifully crafted custom page ($2,950). The Essentials Plan is website-as-a-service for home studios, makers and sole traders — your site, hosting, domain, security and my content updates in one monthly amount, and after 24 months the site is yours outright. Essentials isn't a cut-down Signature — it's a different product for a different-sized business.

How long does a website take to build?

A Studio page or an Essentials site is usually live within 6–8 weeks. A Signature build gets priority scheduling — live in weeks, not months. I'll agree a timeline with you before we start.

Can I update the site myself afterwards?

Yes. Once it's built it's yours to edit — update it from your phone as simply as typing a text message. And if you'd rather not, the Care Plan means you just message me the change and it's done.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your domain and content are yours from day one. With Signature or Studio the finished site is yours once the build's paid off — however you pay. With the Essentials Plan the site becomes yours outright at the end of the 24-month plan, then simply steps down to standard hosting. It's real WordPress on an open platform — never rented, never locked in.

Do I have to pay upfront?

No. Pay in full if you like, or put 10% down and spread the rest — up to 5 years on a Signature build, up to 24 months on a Studio page. The same total, just split into monthly payments.

Does paying over time cost more?

No — it's the same total, just split into monthly payments. There's no extra cost for paying over time, no third party, and nothing to apply for. It's simply paying me directly.

What about security?

Every build I ship is security hardened, with Wordfence included — and Wordfence watches every site on one of my hosting plans around the clock.

What's the ongoing cost?

Every site needs a home, so Hosting & Domain Management is the baseline — $29/month (12-month minimum): managed hosting, your domain, SSL, a CDN, automated backups and Wordfence around the clock. A Care Plan is the optional extra on top — another $29/month (3-month minimum, then month-to-month) — for content changes and small tweaks done for you. Both itemised, so nothing's bundled where you can't see it.

What platform do you build on?

WordPress and WooCommerce by default — clean, maintainable code you own on an open platform, never a rented builder. If another system is genuinely the right fit for your goals, I'll tell you and build on that instead.

Where are you based?

I'm in the Macarthur region of NSW — Campbelltown — where I've lived for nearly 40 years, and I work with clients across Sydney and Australia-wide.
