A website you actually own, fully managed

Modern, fast websites for Australian service businesses - Adelaide-based, serving clients Australia-wide. I handle the hosting, your domain setup, the updates, the SEO - everything. You approve changes when you want to. Otherwise, it just works.

What's included

Every engagement is scoped to what you actually need. Every one includes hosting, SSL, backups, and a real human to email.

Always on

Modern, fast hosting on infrastructure you actually own. Automated backups, SSL, uptime monitoring, and a monthly health check so nothing quietly breaks.

Findable

SEO foundations on day one, Google Search Console set up and monitored, active local SEO for the searches that matter in your city, and fixes when Google flags something.

Looked after

Domain, DNS and email records managed for you. Quarterly or monthly content updates depending on scope. You approve changes when you want to, otherwise it just gets handled.

Actively growing

Keyword tracking, competitor monitoring, a monthly blog post drafted in your voice, and Core Web Vitals optimisation. For businesses ready to climb the rankings, not just stay online.

What “managed”actually looks like

This is a real month of work on one of my active clients. Not a features list - actual tasks completed, quietly, without a single email from the client.

No hand-off

Most agencies build you a website, hand over a login, and disappear. I build it, manage it, and stay - because the work isn't done when the site goes live.

Squarespace and Wix are costing you customers

A DIY builder gives you hosting and a template, then expects you to run the rest. Most service businesses end up with a stale, unmanaged site - no SEO, no content pipeline, no way to export what they've built, and no one to email when something breaks.

What you get with Samwise instead

  • Modern, fast hosting - included
  • Code you actually own (in Git)
  • Active local SEO so you rank where it counts
  • Content updates made for you
  • Monthly health checks, quietly handled
  • A real human to email

Domain registration is billed by your registrar (I'll recommend VentraIP and move it for you if you want). Every engagement is scoped and quoted per project - no hidden fees, no surprise bills.

You wouldn't hand out a tatty business card

Don't send customers to a slow, clunky website either. Start a conversation and I'll scope what makes sense.
