The subscription offer

A professional website for
$199 a month. Nothing upfront.

LUMEN designs, builds, and manages a one-page website for your business, on the platform that suits your needs. You pay nothing to get started and $199 a month from there. Hosting, edits, support, and updates are all part of it.

Upfront

No design deposit. No build fee. You don't pay until your site is live.

$199

Per month

12-month minimum term. Hosting, edits, support, and updates included.

1 hr

Edits per month

Copy updates, new photos, section changes: covered within your subscription.

How to get started

Two ways to get your site built.
One obvious choice for most.

If you want to keep upfront costs down and have ongoing support included, the subscription is the answer. If you'd rather own your site outright and manage it yourself, the lump-sum option is there.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

Both tracks include a properly designed, properly built website. The difference is in who manages it long-term and how edits are handled after launch.

How it works

From brief to live site
in four steps.

The process is the same regardless of which track you choose. We keep it direct and without unnecessary back-and-forth.

Brief

You tell us about your business, your audience, and what the site needs to do. We ask the right questions upfront.

Design

We design the layout and structure around your brief, not a template. You review before anything is built.

Build & refine

Built on the right platform, made responsive, and optimised for speed and search before you see it.

Launch

Domain connected, analytics live, site published. Subscribe: we stay on. Own It: everything handed over.

Why LUMEN

Brisbane-based.
In-house. No surprises.

Brisbane

We're a Brisbane-based studio. You work with the same team from brief to launch, not an account manager fronting a remote build team.

In-House

Design, development, SEO, and copy all done internally. No handoffs, no markups on outsourced work, no broken telephone.

Fixed Price

What we quote is what you pay. No variation unless you change the scope. Both tracks are priced clearly upfront with no hidden fees.

Frequently asked

Common questions about websites.

Webflow, Shopify, or WordPress — what should I choose?

Webflow for design-led marketing sites where conversion and brand presentation matter most. Shopify for product-driven e-commerce. WordPress for content-heavy sites or complex publishing workflows. LUMEN matches platform to use case during discovery.

How long does a typical website build take?

A typical LUMEN website project takes 4–8 weeks from kick-off to launch. One-page starter sites deliver in 2–3 weeks. Larger CMS, e-commerce, or custom-integration builds run 6–10 weeks.

How much does a LUMEN website cost?

From AUD $3,500 for a one-page conversion site, AUD $6,000–$12,000 for standard 5–10 page marketing sites, and AUD $14,000+ for larger custom builds with CMS, e-commerce, or complex integrations.

Do you offer ongoing site maintenance?

Yes. LUMEN offers ongoing care plans for every platform — Webflow content updates, Shopify theme support, and WordPress maintenance. Plans start from AUD $200/month.
