Custom websites
Custom websites, built for your business, not from a template.
We design and code websites from scratch for businesses across Australia. Yours will look like your business, load quickly on a phone, and make the next step obvious to a customer, whether that is calling you, booking, ordering or asking a question.
Who it is for
Owner-run businesses that need a website to do real work: explain what you do, win the enquiry and take the order. Our public examples are a Queensland chilli farm that takes wholesale order requests through its site and a Melbourne electrical contractor whose site takes quote requests.
What we build
Anything from a clear one-page introduction to a complete online store. Most small businesses need something in between: a handful of well-written pages that explain what you do, show your work, and give people an easy way to get in touch or buy.
- Business and trade websites that explain what you do and win the call
- Online shops with products, freight and payment set up properly
- Booking and ordering pages that save you the phone tag
- Redesigns of an existing site that has stopped pulling its weight
Why coded from scratch
Template builders are quick to start and slow to live with. Every extra plugin adds weight, every design choice fights the theme, and you end up paying monthly for a site you can only half control.
A site we code for you carries nothing it does not need. It is fast because it is small, it looks like nobody else's because it started from a blank page, and every part of it is yours to keep.
Built to be found
Being found on Google is mostly about clear pages that answer the questions people search, and a site that loads quickly and works on phones. We write proper page titles and descriptions, structure the content so search engines can read it, and set up the sitemap, structured data and the technical details that get a new site indexed.
We will be honest about what a website can and cannot do on its own: ranking well for competitive searches takes time and good content, not a trick.
What affects the cost
Every website is quoted in writing before any work starts, so you know the cost up front. The things that move the price are easy to see in advance:
- How many pages there are, and whether you supply the words and photos or we write them
- Whether customers need to order, book or pay on the site
- Connections to other tools, such as your email platform, calendar or invoicing
- Running costs you pay directly, in your name: the domain, the hosting and any subscriptions a feature needs
What happens after launch
You get the code, the domain and every account in your name, with written instructions for the everyday changes. If you would rather we handle updates, ongoing support is available month to month with no lock-in.

Common questions
- Do you work with businesses outside Queensland?
- Yes. We work with businesses anywhere in Australia. Everything happens by email, phone and a private preview link, so location has never been an obstacle.
- Can you improve my existing website instead of starting over?
- Often, yes. If the current site is on a platform we can work with, we can fix, speed up or redesign parts of it. If it is easier and cheaper to rebuild, we will say so before any work starts.
- Will I be able to update the website myself?
- For the changes you make often, yes. We set things up so that text, images and products are simple to change, and we hand over written instructions. Anything more involved, we can do for you.
- Who owns the website?
- You do. The code, the domain and the hosting accounts are all in your name from the start, and you can take them anywhere.
