What you will need
Before we begin.
A few things to have ready so we can get started.
Content
Logo, photos and wording
Your logo, photos and any wording you already have. If you need wording, we can write it for you.

Ten minutes
Three free accounts

The tools we use
The tools we use, and why.
These are independent services we use to build and run your website. We use them because they are reliable, low cost, and let you own everything yourself. Quickstand is not a partner of, affiliated with, or endorsed by any of them.
Your domain name
Help.com.au
An Australian domain provider that registers .com.au domains. Your domain is registered in your business name and moved into your own account, so it belongs to you.
Your website hosting
Cloudflare
Hosts your website on a fast, secure global network with free HTTPS, the padlock in the address bar. Your site sits in your own Cloudflare account on their free plan, so there are no ongoing hosting fees.
Your enquiry form
FormSubmit
Sends messages from your website's enquiry form straight to your email inbox. It is free and set up with your own email address.
After launch
After your website goes live.
How long is my domain registered for?
That depends on the domain package you choose: the first year free, or 1, 2, 3 or 5 years. When your package ends, your domain renews directly through your domain provider and is billed to you. We recommend turning on auto-renew.
What happens if my domain expires?
If a .au domain expires and is not renewed, it can be released and registered by someone else, so keeping it renewed is important.
Will I get a reminder?
Your domain provider normally sends you a reminder before your renewal is due.
