Clear starting points. No mystery quotes.

Ara Tika works with established businesses that want their website, leads, follow-up, quoting, and admin systems built properly. These are starting points only. The right recommendation depends on your business, your current setup, and what needs to change first.

Starting points

Website Foundation

Most common start

From $4,500 + GST

For established businesses that need a practical, professional website built to generate enquiries.

  • Mobile-first website
  • Clear service pages
  • Enquiry form setup
  • Basic SEO structure
  • Website copy support
  • Launch support

Not a cheap brochure website. A practical website built to help the right customers understand what you do and take action.

Lead System

From $8,500 + GST

For businesses that want more than a website — a system for capturing, qualifying, and following up leads.

  • Everything in Website Foundation
  • Better enquiry and quote request forms
  • Qualifying questions
  • Simple CRM or pipeline setup
  • Follow-up templates or reminders
  • Basic reporting

Best for businesses that get enquiries but do not have a reliable process for managing them.

Business System Build

From $15,000 + GST

For businesses that need their website, enquiries, quotes, jobs, admin, and tools working together.

  • Lead capture workflows
  • Quote / job process mapping
  • CRM or job pipeline setup
  • Tool integrations
  • Automation between systems
  • Internal dashboards or admin views
  • Team handover and training

Best for established businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, sticky notes, and owner-dependent processes.

Ongoing Systems Partner

From $1,250 / month + GST

For businesses that want ongoing support, improvements, reporting, and optimisation after the first build.

  • Website updates
  • Automation adjustments
  • System improvements
  • Reporting review
  • Support as the business changes

Best for businesses that want a long-term practical systems partner as their business changes.

Focused option

Focused Systems Sprint

From $2,000 + GST

For one clearly defined workflow improvement, automation, or setup.

Systems Sprints are usually recommended after the Systems Review when there is one clear problem to fix first. A focused professional improvement — not general tech support.

Examples

  • Invoice automation into Xero
  • Connect website enquiries to a follow-up process
  • Set up phone / messages on a laptop
  • Create quote follow-up reminders
  • Connect forms to a simple pipeline
  • Remove one repeated manual admin task

Small systems. Real returns.

Where the value comes from

Not every improvement needs to be a major rebuild. Some of the most valuable systems are the ones that remove repeated admin, speed up quoting, or stop leads slipping through the cracks.

Invoice automation into Xero

Before

Invoices are downloaded, checked, uploaded, coded, and entered manually.

After

Invoices flow into Xero automatically, ready to review.

For a business spending a few hours each week on invoice admin, even a focused improvement can recover meaningful time every month.

Phone and message setup

Before

Calls and messages sit on one phone. Replies get delayed, and important customer messages are easy to miss.

After

Calls and messages can be handled from a laptop, making it easier to respond while working at a desk.

Small communication improvements can reduce missed calls and make it easier to keep customer conversations moving.

Quoting engine

Before

Quotes are built later from notes, memory, photos, measurements, and messages.

After

The business can price or prepare a quote while still on site.

For trade and service businesses, faster quoting can improve the customer experience and reduce the amount of work that has to be done later at night.

Lead follow-up system

Before

Leads come in through the website, phone, email, Facebook, or referrals, and follow-up depends on someone remembering.

After

Leads go into a simple pipeline with reminders, follow-up steps, and visibility.

The value is not just capturing the lead. It is making sure the right person follows it up at the right time.

The value is not just the software. It is the time saved, the mistakes avoided, the leads followed up, and the pressure taken off the owner.

What affects price

Every business is different

  • Number of pages
  • Copywriting needs
  • Forms and lead capture
  • Automation complexity
  • Integrations
  • CRM / pipeline setup
  • Quoting tools
  • Dashboards / reporting
  • Team training
  • Whether existing systems need cleanup first

Why we use starting prices

No mystery quotes

These prices are starting points, not fixed packages. Every engagement starts with understanding your current setup, what is working, what is creating friction, and what should be fixed first.

  • Every business is different.
  • Starting prices help avoid mystery quotes.
  • Final scope is confirmed after the review.
  • We do not force businesses into packages that do not fit.
  • The goal is to recommend the right starting point — not sell the biggest package.

Common questions

Pricing FAQs

Are these fixed prices?
No. They are starting points. Final pricing depends on scope, integrations, content, workflows, and what your business actually needs.
Do you build small websites?
We build practical business websites, but we do not compete with cheap template website providers. Ara Tika websites are built to support enquiries, follow-up, and business systems.
Can we start small?
Yes, if there is a clear workflow or system problem to fix. In that case we may recommend a Focused Systems Sprint.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. The goal is to build systems your business can operate, not lock you into dependency.
What happens first?
Every engagement starts with a Free Systems Review so we can understand your current setup and recommend the right next step.
