Web design for small business
Websites for small businesses. Built properly, explained simply.
I design and build animated, mobile-friendly websites for sole traders and small businesses, then set up the hosting, contact form and domain so you don't have to. I'm based in South Australia and work with clients anywhere in Australia.
- You deal with me directly
- No tech jargon
- Hosting and domain sorted
Live on your own domain, secure and ready.
What I do
Everything you need to get online, in one place.
I don't just hand over a design and wish you luck. I build the site, put it online, connect your domain and make sure enquiries reach you. Each card below is a little demo of the real thing.
Websites that move
Modern, mobile-friendly websites with tasteful animation that makes people stop and look. Designed around your business, not squeezed into a template. Like this one: you're scrolling through a demo right now.
Contact forms that reach you
Enquiries land straight in your inbox, with spam protection built in so you only hear from real people.
Hosting, set up for you
I put your site on secure, reliable hosting and handle all the technical setup. Many small sites can run on a free hosting plan.
Your domain, sorted
Help choosing and registering your .com.au or .au address, then connecting it to your new site.
Business cards and print
Business cards that match your website, supplied as print-ready files for the printer of your choice.
Try it yourself
Looks right on every screen.
Most people will find your business on their phone, so every site I build is designed for small screens first. On a computer, drag the slider to watch the same site rearrange itself for phones, tablets and computers.
Packages

Prices are a starting point. You get a written quote listing exactly what is included before any work begins.

Running costs are small and I'll explain them up front: your domain renews every year or so, and many small sites can be hosted on a free plan.
How it works
From first chat to live site, in five steps.
[Most sites take about X weeks from first chat to launch, depending on how quickly the words and photos come together.]
A quick chat
Tell me about your business and what you need. No jargon and no pressure.
A clear quote
You get a written quote that lists exactly what's included.
Design and build
I design your site and build it, and keep you posted along the way.
You try a preview
I send you a private preview link to try on your phone and computer, and you tell me what to change.
Launch
I connect your domain, switch on the contact form and set the site live. Then I show you around.
Examples
Three businesses, three very different looks.
These are concept designs for made-up businesses, to show the range of what I can do. Hover over one (or scroll on your phone) to look down the page.

How much does a website cost?
It depends on what your site needs to do. My packages start from $[price], and you get a written quote before any work begins.
Are there ongoing costs?
Usually just two: your domain name, which renews every year or so, and hosting. Many small business sites can run on a free hosting plan. I'll tell you exactly what to expect before we start.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain is registered in your name, and the website is yours.
What do I need to give you?
Your logo if you have one, a few photos, and the basics: what you do, where you work and how people should get in touch. No logo or photos yet? We'll work it out together.
How long does it take?
[Usually X to Y weeks.] Most of the time depends on how quickly the words and photos come together.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. Every site I build is designed for phones first, then checked on tablets and computers. Try the slider further up this page to see it in action.
I'm not in South Australia. Can we still work together?
Yes. I work remotely with clients anywhere in Australia, by email, phone and video call.
Can you make changes after the site is live?
[Yes. Explain how changes after launch work and how they are charged.]
Let's talk
Tell me about your business.
Send me a message with a little about your business and what you're after. There's no obligation.
What happens next
- I read your message and get back to you. [I reply within one business day.]
- We have a quick chat by phone or video call.
