Web design
in Melbourne.

Design and build in one
Custom build, easy to edit
Performance and SEO built in
Most Melbourne business sites are built to a template. Yours shouldn't be.
The typical agency sells you a page-builder theme, outsources the build, and hands over something slow and generic that looks like everyone else's.
I do it differently. I design and engineer every site myself, so nothing gets lost between the mockup and the code. You work directly with the person building it, start to finish.
The result is a site that loads fast, ranks well, reads beautifully on every screen, and is genuinely yours to own. No lock-in, no monthly fees to keep it online.
What I build
Every project is scoped and quoted after a chat, not sold from a price list. Here's the range.
02
Business websites
Multi-page sites with a proper design system, editable content, contact and booking flows, plus schema and local SEO from day one.
Outcome: a site that ranks locally and earns trust.
03
Web apps and products
Full-stack work when you need more than a brochure: interface and UX, front and back end, auth, payments and the infrastructure to run it.
Outcome: a working product, not a prototype.
04
SEO and performance
Technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, schema markup and content structure, whether for a new build or a site that's underperforming.
Outcome: found on Google, fast everywhere.
Proof, not promises

How it works
Four steps, direct with the person doing the work. No briefs lost in a chain of account managers.
01
Chat
A free, no-pressure conversation about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do.
02
Design
I design the site around how your customers actually decide and convert, not around a template's limits.
03
Build
I build it myself: fast, accessible and SEO-ready. You review it live as it comes together.
04
Launch
I ship it, hand over everything, and you own it outright. Support afterwards if you want it.
Questions, answered
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope, so I quote per project after a short chat rather than from a template price list. A one-page landing page and a full multi-page site sit in very different brackets. You get a fixed quote before any work starts, with no surprises.
How long does it take?
A focused landing page is usually one to two weeks. A full business website is typically three to six weeks, depending on the number of pages, how ready the content is, and the amount of custom design and functionality.
Do you do SEO?
Yes. Every site ships with clean technical SEO: fast Core Web Vitals, schema markup, a sensible content structure and local signals. It is built in from the start, not bolted on later.
Do you use WordPress or a CMS?
Yes, if you want one. Most businesses like to update their own content, so I set the site up with a CMS: WordPress if that's what you're comfortable with, or a lighter modern CMS if you'd prefer. Either way the front end is custom-built and fast, tailored to your business rather than a generic template, and the site stays yours to own.
Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?
Melbourne is home and I know the local market, but I work with clients anywhere. The whole process is remote-friendly and time-zone flexible.
Who owns the site and the code?
You do, completely. No lock-in and no monthly ransom to keep your own website online. You get the full codebase and everything needed to host it wherever you like.
