Eight jobs, one team, one invoice
Design, search and hosting handled together, because the three of them decide whether the site actually brings you work.
Web design and build
Hand-built, fast, mobile-first sites shaped around what your customers came to do.
Local SEO
Suburb-level pages, Google Business Profile, reviews and citations. The searches that convert.
Technical SEO
Speed, Core Web Vitals, schema, crawlability and the redirect map nobody else bothers with.
Australian hosting
AWS Sydney from $25 per month, daily backups and security updates included. No lock-in.
Care plans
Updates, monitoring, malware scanning, restore-tested backups and a monthly plain-English report.
Copy and content
Words written for Australian buyers and search intent at once, not keyword mulch.
Migration
Off Wix, Squarespace or an offshore host, onto Australian infrastructure with rankings intact.
E-commerce
Australian payments, GST invoicing, courier rates, Xero and MYOB sync.
Designed like a product, not a brochure
We come from app work, so a website gets the same treatment. What the visitor needs to do, the shortest path to doing it, then the copy and the pictures.
- Sitemap, wireframes and copy signed off before design starts
- Built by hand, no page-builder bloat, loads under two seconds
- Accessible contrast, real 44px tap targets, tested on real phones
- You own the domain, the code and every account
- Fixed scope, fixed price, dates against each milestone
SEO that starts with the suburb, not the buzzword
Most Australian small businesses win on local intent. We fix the technical foundation first, then build the pages and the Google Business Profile that answer those searches.
Local
- Suburb and service pages that match how people search
- Google Business Profile set up and maintained
- Review generation that does not annoy customers
- Directory and citation clean-up
Technical
- Core Web Vitals and mobile speed
- Structured data for services, reviews and locations
- Crawl, index and canonical fixes
- Redirect maps on every rebuild
Reporting
- Monthly ranking and enquiry report
- Call and form tracking, so you see leads and not clicks
- Quarterly plan with the next three moves
Your site lives in Sydney. So does your data.
Every site we build runs on AWS in the Sydney region. Backups are taken daily and kept here, and when a client or an insurer asks where the data is stored, the answer is one word.

|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | From $25 | From $55 | From $120 |
| Suits | Brochure site | Content and SEO site | Online store |
| Backups | Daily, 14 days | Daily, 30 days | Hourly, 30 days |

| Staging site | No | Yes | Yes |
| Uptime monitoring | 5-minute | 1-minute | 1-minute |
| Support response | 1 business day | 4 business hours | 2 business hours |
All plans run on AWS Sydney with free SSL, Cloudflare edge caching, monthly uptime reporting and no lock-in.
Migration
Moving an existing site is included when you move your hosting to us. We map redirects URL by URL, keep metadata intact and watch Search Console for a month after the switch.
Selling online, GST and all
Stores with Australian payments, GST-correct invoicing, Australia Post and courier rates, and Xero or MYOB sync. We build the software behind trade businesses, so stock and orders are familiar ground.

Digital Toolkit Conference
A conference site that had to survive a ticket-release spike and stay findable between events.
Read the case studyThe things people ask first
Your site, its database and its backups sit in the AWS Sydney region (ap-southeast-2). Nothing is replicated offshore. That matters for government, health, legal and insurance work, and it makes the site measurably faster for Australian visitors.

A one-page audit within two business days: load speed, mobile problems, the technical SEO holding you back, where you sit for your main local searches, and where the site is hosted now. No obligation and no drip campaign.
