Wix cost in Australia is A$21 to A$55 a month on the Light, Core and Business plans, billed yearly with GST included (checked October 2026). That fee runs for as long as the site is live. A done-for-you Scalesites site is a one-off $750 (5-page, most popular), live in 2 weeks, and you own it.
Wix plans and prices in Australia
Wix has one free plan and four paid plans, and a tradie site needs a paid plan to use its own domain. Wix shows prices by location. These are the Australian dollar prices on its plans page, which are for yearly subscriptions paid in full upfront.
| Wix plan | Price shown | What the plan adds |
|---|---|---|
| Free | A$0 | Wix branding, no custom domain |
| Light | A$21/mo, price includes GST | Own domain (free for 1 year), 2 GB storage |
| Core | A$42/mo, price includes GST | Accept payments, scheduling, 50 GB storage |
| Business | A$55/mo, price includes GST | Standard eCommerce and marketing tools, 100 GB storage |
| Business Elite | A$199/mo, price includes GST | Advanced eCommerce and developer tools |
Wix plans in Australian dollars, per month on a yearly subscription, as shown on wix.com/plans. Checked 25 Oct 2026.
For a trade business that wants a few pages, a call button and a quote form, Light is the realistic starting point. Core matters if you want people to pay a deposit or book a time on the site itself. Most tradies never need Business Elite.
What Wix costs over two years
On the yearly price, Wix Light comes to A$252 a year and A$504 over two years. Core is A$504 a year and A$1,008 over two years. Those figures cover the platform only. The pages, photos, wording and local SEO are still yours to do.
| Year one | Two years | |
|---|---|---|
| Wix Light | A$252 | A$504 |
| Wix Core | A$504 | A$1,008 |
| Scalesites 5-page (most popular), hosted elsewhere | $750 once | $750 once |
| Scalesites 5-page with optional $49/mo hosting and management | $1,338 | $1,926 |
| Scalesites 3-page, hosted elsewhere | $500 once | $500 once |
Platform cost only, at the yearly prices above. Your time is not counted.
Read that table honestly: if you add our optional hosting, a Scalesites site costs more each month than Wix Light. What the extra buys is the build itself, the copy, the local SEO setup and up to 60 minutes of updates a month, done for you. You can also host the site wherever you like and pay nothing more to us. Full details are on the pricing page.

When Wix is the right call
Wix is the right call when you have spare evenings, enjoy the process and want the lowest cost in year one. Its editor is easy to learn, the templates are decent and you can change anything yourself the same day.
- You're starting out and want something live this weekend for under A$30 a month
- You want to take bookings or deposits online and are happy to set them up (Core plan)
- You like making your own changes and don't want to wait on anyone
- Most of your work comes from referrals, so ranking on Google isn't urgent yet
When a done-for-you site wins
A done-for-you site wins when you want calls from people searching your trade and suburb and don't have the hours to learn how. It is written around your services and the suburbs you work in, connected to your Google Business Profile, and live in two weeks without costing you a weekend. That's how we build our websites for landscapers and roofers.
Moving off Wix later
Moving off Wix later usually means a rebuild, because a Wix site doesn't export to another platform as a working site. Your words, photos and domain can come with you. Keep that in mind if you expect to outgrow a DIY site within a year or two.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Wix cost in Australia?
+
As of October 2026, Wix shows Australian prices of A$21 a month for Light, A$42 for Core, A$55 for Business and A$199 for Business Elite, on a yearly subscription paid upfront, with GST included. There is also a free plan, but it carries Wix branding and can't use your own domain.
Does Wix include GST in Australia?
+
Yes. When we checked in October 2026, each paid plan on Wix's Australian pricing showed "Price includes GST".
Is Wix good for tradies?
+
It can be, if you have time to build and maintain the site and want the lowest cost in year one. The catch is that the wording, page structure and local SEO are down to you, and that's where most DIY tradie sites fall short.
Is Wix cheaper than a custom website?
+
In year one, yes, if you don't count your time: Wix Light is A$252 a year against $750 once for a 5-page Scalesites site. Over three years the Light plan costs about the same as the one-off build, and the Wix fee keeps going.
Can I move off Wix later?
+
Your content and domain can move, but the Wix site itself doesn't transfer as a working site, so you'd typically rebuild. Owning the site outright from the start avoids that.
What's a good Wix alternative for Australian tradies?
+
If you want to DIY, Squarespace is the closest alternative. If you'd rather not build it yourself, a done-for-you site like Scalesites costs a flat $750 (5-page, most popular) or $500 (3-page) and is live in 2 weeks.
