A professional website, built and managed for you, from $150 setup and $50 a month. Everything that is not included is spelled out below in plain English — because a surprise invoice is a terrible way to start.
CRM, quoting, invoicing and online booking set up for up to 5 staff, with reporting and audit logs — $49.99/month, on the same invoice.
Email subscription billed separately by your provider.
Domain registration billed separately.
What's included
What you pay us for, and what you don't
Your website, hosting, support and our own Trimsy CRM all sit on one invoice from us. The only things billed elsewhere are your domain and your mailbox — at cost, in your name, so you keep them.
Fully managed website
We build it, maintain it, update it and secure it. You never log in to anything. Most tradies never need to edit their own website — so we do it for you.
Business email setup is included
We set up and configure professional email on your own domain. The mailbox subscription itself is billed separately by your provider — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho Mail or any IMAP provider you prefer.
Domain connection is included
We register and configure your domain for you. Domain registration and annual renewal are charged separately, at cost, by the registrar.
Hosting, SSL and backups included
Fast managed hosting, your SSL certificate, daily off-site backups, security patching and uptime monitoring. All of it sits inside your monthly fee — there is no separate hosting bill, ever.
Support and updates included
Real people, not a help centre. Send us a change and we make it — new prices, new photos, a new service. Every plan includes monthly updates, and Professional is fair-use unlimited.
Trimsy CRM — our own platform
Trimsy is built and run by us, so there is no third party in the middle. Customers, quotes, invoices, bookings and your customer portal, configured around your trade. Free for a sole trader; $24.99 or $49.99 a month once you add staff — on the same invoice as your website.

Setup is charged once, on the day we start — there is no second setup fee and no re-build fee later. Trimsy charges nothing to set up on any tier. Standard Trimsy monthly pricing shown; Trimsy is currently $1/month for your first 3 months, so your real cost starts lower. Plus your domain (about $20 a year, at cost) and your mailbox subscription. That is every cost there is — there is nothing else coming.
Trimsy is our own platform, so it goes on the same invoice as your website — one bill, one company, one number to call.
You can move up or down a Trimsy tier at any time, and it takes effect on your next invoice.
The Free Forever tier genuinely covers a sole trader. You only move up when you add staff or need SMS reminders.

FAQ
Pricing questions, answered straight
Because you should own it, and because mailbox pricing is set by the provider, not by us. We set everything up — mailboxes, authentication records, your devices — and you pay the provider directly for the mailbox at their standard rate. It also means we never mark it up, and you keep the account if you ever leave us.
Yes. Microsoft 365 is one of the most common choices, especially for businesses already using Outlook, Word and Excel, or wanting Teams Phone. We set it up and migrate your existing mail across.
Yes. If you and your crew already live in Gmail, Workspace is usually the easiest move. You get business Gmail on your own domain plus shared drives and calendars.
Yes. Zoho Mail is typically the lowest-cost option and works well for sole traders and small crews. We set it up the same way as the others.
Yes, and there is no charge to connect it. If you already own a domain we point it at your new website with no downtime. If you do not have one yet, we help you register the right one — registration and annual renewal are billed at cost by the registrar.
You do. You own your domain, your content, your images and your customer data. If you ever leave, we hand over an export of everything.
Any time, with 30 days notice. There is no lock-in contract. Setup fees are non-refundable once work has started.
None at all. That is the entire point of a fully managed website. You never log in to anything — you send us the change and we make it. If you can answer questions about your own business, you can do this.
Yes, and plenty of people do. Move between Starter, Growth and Professional whenever you like. Changes apply from your next billing cycle and you only pay the difference in setup work required.
Trimsy — and it is ours. We built it, we run it, and it is made for Australian service businesses: customers, quotes, invoices, bookings, job management and a customer portal in one place. We configure it around your trade as part of your setup fee, which means no third party in the middle when something needs changing.
Often nothing. Trimsy has a genuine Free Forever plan that covers a sole trader — CRM, online bookings, quotes, invoices and a customer portal at $0. You only move up when you add staff or want SMS reminders: Essential is $24.99/month for up to 3 staff, Growth is $49.99/month for up to 5. Because Trimsy is our own platform it goes on the same invoice as your website, so you get one bill rather than two.
Starter is $50/month with Trimsy Free at $0 — so $50/month all in, plus your domain and mailbox. Growth is $79/month plus Trimsy Essential at $24.99, so about $104/month. Professional is $129/month plus Trimsy Growth at $49.99, so about $179/month — on one invoice, because Trimsy is ours. Plus your domain and mailbox, which are not. No other fees.
You can either move up a plan or add pages to your current one. Additional pages are available in blocks of ten, quoted upfront before any work starts.
Everything your business needs. One simple monthly price.
Professional website, hosting, CRM setup, booking setup and ongoing management from only $50/month.
