Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build a website?
We know you probably won’t like our response here, but the price really does depend on your requirements! A simple 1 page site starts at $1,600. These are optimised for conversions and we link this to your existing Google Business page. There are many things to consider when building a website so we encourage you to get in touch for a chat. Then we can provide you with an accurate quote.
Is there government funding available for website design in the Northern Territory?
Yes there is. The business growth grant is available for Northern Territory businesses and this funds up to 50% of a website design and build. It’s a relatively simple application process and the NT Government generally moves your grant application along quite quickly. In our experience the average approval times range from 2 – 4 weeks from when your grant application is lodged. You can find out more information here.
How long does it take to build a custom website?
This depends on the size of the website. For a very basic 1 page site we can have this done within 3 – 5 days. For a more extensive site (20 pages), this can be 3 – 4 weeks. A complex and custom ecommerce website can take up to 8 weeks, this does depend on the delivery of assets and content. We always do our best to align with your expectations.
Will my website be mobile-friendly and SEO-ready?
Nowadays this comes as standard for all of the website designs done by Illume Marketing. With over 52% of people using mobile devices to research the internet, it is a priority to have your website optimised across all devices. These being desktop, mobile and tablet.

Can I update my website myself after it's built?
Yes you certainly can. You are the owner of your website with administration access. Please be aware that there are other providers out there that own the admin rights to websites, effectively you may not have full control of your website. This is important to avoid unneccesary maintenance charges.
