Spidee is for Australian local businesses that want a good website without doing it themselves: restaurants and cafes, trades and cleaning, venues and events, clinics and local services.

That includes businesses with no site yet, businesses whose site is just OK, businesses that have outgrown a DIY builder, and businesses that want bookings, quotes or an online shop.

Wix gives you a builder to design and run your site yourself. Spidee does it for you: we study your market first, design three options, build the one you pick and look after it every month.

We start with a short chat, design three options for you to pick from, set up what you need, then look after it every month.

1. A short chat about your business: what you do, who your customers are and what the site needs to do. 2. Three designs, you pick one: we look at your local competitors and design three options around the gap you can win. 3. We set up what you need: bookings, quotes, email or a shop, and your site goes live on your own web address. 4. We look after it every month: send us a message when something needs to change, and we handle it.

Yes. Before we design anything, we look at your market: the businesses you compete with and the customer you want to win.

Then we find the gap you can own and design three options around it.

So you can compare real options and pick the winner, instead of tweaking a single draft.

All three are finished designs built around your market, not off-the-shelf templates.

Yes. You can edit any text yourself, free forever, on every plan.

For bigger changes, you can ask Spidee's AI to change anything. AI changes use credits, and a typical change uses 200. Every plan includes credits, and you can top up on any plan.

Yes. If your site is just OK, we can upgrade it, and if you've outgrown a DIY builder, we can move it over.

We bring your words and photos across into your new designs, so you don't start again.

The Growth plan (A$79 a month) tracks where you rank on Google, sends you a monthly report on how your site is doing, and writes a fresh blog post for you every month.

No one can honestly guarantee a ranking, but Growth shows you where you stand each month and keeps adding new content to your site.
