Everything you want to know about web design, SEO, business automation and custom software — before you apply.

Web Design

Website questions.

How much does a website cost in Australia?

Custom websites from Automatrix start from $3,000–$5,000 for a professional business site. E-commerce, custom admin panels and complex builds range from $6,000–$15,000+. We also offer a managed monthly platform model. During your free audit we give you an exact price with no surprises.

How long does it take to build a website?

Most websites are live within 3–5 weeks from kickoff. Complex builds may take 5–8 weeks. We provide a clear timeline before we start and stick to it.

Do you build WordPress websites?

We build custom-coded websites, not WordPress. Most businesses don't need the plugin bloat, security vulnerabilities or maintenance overhead that comes with WordPress. Our builds are faster, more secure and easier to manage.

Can you redesign my existing website?

Yes. We audit your current site, identify what's not working, and build something that outperforms it. Frontline Trays & Trailers is a perfect example — we took their basic site and built a full business platform.

Is SEO included in the website build?

Every website we build has an SEO foundation baked in — proper structure, fast load times, mobile optimisation, meta tags, schema markup. Ongoing SEO management is a separate service, often paired with the web build.

SEO

SEO questions.

How long does SEO take to see results?

In regional markets like Albury Wodonga, meaningful ranking movement typically happens within 3–4 months, with strong results by month 6. Local competition is lower than capital cities, which speeds things up significantly.

Do you manage Google Business Profile?

Yes. GBP is one of the most important local SEO tools. We set it up, optimise every section, and manage ongoing posts and review responses as part of our local SEO service.

What's the difference between local SEO and regular SEO?

Local SEO targets location-specific searches like "web designer Albury" or "plumber Wodonga." It includes Google Business Profile, local citations and location pages. Regular SEO targets broader national searches. Most businesses need both.

Business Automation

Automation questions.

What is business automation?

Automation means using software to handle repetitive tasks without a human — following up with leads, syncing data between tools, generating invoices, routing enquiries, producing reports. The average business wastes 20+ hours per week on automatable tasks.

Which tools do you use — Zapier, Make or n8n?

All three, plus custom API integrations. We recommend the right tool for each situation rather than defaulting to one. Zapier for simple connections, Make for complex workflows, n8n for self-hosted or highly customised automation.

Can you integrate with MYOB, Xero or my existing software?

Yes. We work with MYOB, Xero, Stripe, Tyro, Square, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce and most platforms with an API. If it has an API or webhook, we can connect it.

What's the ROI on automation?

Our clients recover an average of 1,000+ hours per year. At $50/hour that's $50,000+ in recovered capacity. Most automation projects pay for themselves within 2–3 months.

Working With Us

Working with Automatrix.

What's the difference between a one-time build and your managed platform?

The one-time build is a fixed-scope project — you own the code outright when it's done. The managed platform is a monthly retainer covering ongoing improvements, hosting, support and updates. Most clients start with a one-time build and add the managed retainer as their needs grow.

Do you work with businesses outside Albury Wodonga?

Yes. We're based in Albury Wodonga but work across Australia. Chargeroo operates nationally — we built their entire platform. Everything is handled remotely with full communication and no loss of quality.

Why are you selective about which clients you take on?

We work with 3–5 new clients per month by design, not limitation. Selectivity means every client gets our full attention, not a ticket in a queue. We also only take on projects where we're genuinely confident we can deliver serious results. If we can't — we'll tell you upfront.
