01Small Business

A website that actually
does the job it was built to do.

A Google Business Profile tells people where to find you. A real website tells them why you're worth choosing. It's where you answer the questions a potential customer is quietly asking before they pick up the phone — and where the ones who do call arrive already convinced.

A well-built site does three things well: answers your best customers' questions before they contact you, gives them the confidence to make that contact, and makes the path to it obvious. That's the brief we work from on every project.

We charge more than template builders and offshore options. We build more carefully in return. You work directly with the people doing the work, the scope is locked before a line of code is written, and the site is built to serve your business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

02What we build

Operationally useful. Commercially credible.

The businesses that benefit most from a properly built site are service businesses, independent practices, and small retailers with a story worth telling. What they have in common is that their reputation exceeds their digital presence — and a good website closes that gap.

  • Clear service or product pages that answer the questions customers actually have before they call
  • Contact and enquiry flows designed to convert browsers into leads without friction
  • CMS handover your team can use independently — routine updates handled by your own people, in-house
  • Performance-engineered builds that load fast on Australian mobile connections
  • Honest SEO foundations built into every page — structure, metadata, and local signals that matter

04How it works

Structured from day one, built with you throughout.

We work with a small number of clients at a time. You deal with the same people from brief to launch — the person who takes your call builds your site. Clear progress, direct communication, and a scope that holds.

01

Discovery

A focused questionnaire you complete in your own time — typically under an hour, async by default. $350 + GST, credited in full against your project when you engage. An optional 30-minute call is included if you'd like to talk through the scope.

02

Proposal

We confirm scope, platform, and timeline, then deliver a fixed-price proposal within five business days. A real number attached to a real scope — something you can take to a decision with confidence.

03

Build

Design and code move in the same sprint. You see the site taking shape in a browser within the first fortnight — real progress, early. Two rounds of revisions are included.

04

Launch

The site goes live with a full CMS handover and documentation written for the tasks your team will actually do. We're available in the weeks following, and minor post-launch adjustments are handled directly.

06Common questions

What clients usually ask us.

Will you write the copy?

Copywriting is a separate line item, quoted at $200–$500 per page depending on complexity and volume. Some clients come with a full draft they want shaped; others start from blank. Either way works — we'll be clear about what's included in your proposal.

What's the discovery fee for?

$350 + GST, credited in full against the project when you engage. It covers a structured questionnaire and, if needed, a 30-minute call to confirm scope, platform, and timeline. The output is a fixed-price proposal within five business days, with a real scope attached.

What happens after launch?

Your site is yours. We hand over a CMS your team can manage independently, with documentation written for the tasks you'll actually do. If you'd rather have us handle updates, security monitoring, and SEO upkeep, an optional Care retainer runs $300–$600 per month.

Do you build on Shopify or WordPress?

Both, plus custom static. Landing pages are typically static HTML or Next.js. Business sites use Next.js with a Sanity CMS so your team can handle routine updates without a developer. Shopify is available where ecommerce is part of the brief. We'll give you our honest take in the proposal.
