Twin Lakes vs GoDaddy
GoDaddy will get a page online in an afternoon. Whether that page wins you work is a different question.
When GoDaddy is the right call
If you need a placeholder online today, with your hours and your number, and you'll revisit it later, GoDaddy's builder does that with minimal fuss. It's often bundled with the domain you already bought there.
When Twin Lakes is the right call
If you want a site that looks like your business rather than a form you filled in, with bookings or quote forms that actually work the way your trade needs, and someone to ring when it matters, we're the step up. A working draft costs nothing to look at.
What they charge
GoDaddy, priced as at 11 October 2026.
GoDaddy's own Australian guide to website costs, published May 2026, gives these figures for its builder.
GoDaddy's pricing pages block automated reading, so the figures come from GoDaddy's own published guide rather than the live plans page. Treat them as a guide and confirm at checkout.
- Website Builder plans: A$14.95 to A$22.69 a month on an annual plan.
- Online Store: A$24.50 a month on an annual plan.
- Free tier: A$0 on a GoDaddy web address, with GoDaddy branding.
- GoDaddy's Australian plans page advertises the builder from A$14.95 a month with about 40 percent off for paying yearly, which implies a higher price on monthly billing.
- Renewal prices for the builder aren't shown on the public pricing pages; check the renewal rate at checkout before you buy.

| What | GoDaddy | Twin Lakes |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | You, in a simple builder with limited layouts. | We do it, by hand, from what you tell us. |
| Upfront | Nothing, or a free tier with a GoDaddy address, then a plan. | Nothing. Your first $79 is paid when you approve the draft. |
| Ongoing | A$14.95 to A$22.69 a month for the website builder on a yearly plan, and A$24.50 a month for the Online Store, by GoDaddy's own Australian figures. Renewal prices aren't published up front, and the domain renews at GoDaddy's rate after the first year. | $79 a month including GST. Domain, hosting, changes, bookings, forms, ordering and apps are all in it. |
| Time to a site | An afternoon for something basic. | A working draft in 24 hours. Live in days. |
| Changes | You make them. | Email them through. Done, usually the same day, no hourly rate. |
| Bookings, forms, ordering | Available on higher plans, in a fairly fixed form. | Included. Bookings, quote forms, online ordering, a members' app if it genuinely helps. |
| Your domain | Probably already at GoDaddy. Make sure it's in your name and auto-renew is set the way you want. | Registered in your name from day one. We pay the renewals while you're with us. |
| Hosting | GoDaddy's infrastructure. You don't choose where. | Australia. Fast for your customers, and their details stay in the country. |
| Leaving | Builder sites can't be exported. Your domain can be transferred out. | Month to month. Your domain, content and data go with you. After 12 months, the code too. |
| Support | Phone and chat support, with upsells. | Nick, by email or phone. The person who built it. |
Switching
Moving from GoDaddy
We rebuild from your current site and content, and either transfer your domain to your own name with us managing it, or leave it at GoDaddy and point it at the new site. Old addresses get redirected.
Straight answers
My domain is at GoDaddy. Do I have to move it?
No. We can point it at the new site where it is. If you'd rather we manage it and pay the renewals, we transfer it into your name with us.
GoDaddy keeps emailing me about renewals and add-ons.
That's their business model. Ours is one monthly price with nothing to upsell.
Can you match how fast GoDaddy got me online?
Draft within 24 hours. Live in days. Faster than most, and it'll be designed rather than filled in.
