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.
Who this is for
- Service businesses tired of fighting a Squarespace or Wix dashboard
- Owners who want a site that looks like they give a stuff, without having to build it themselves
- Businesses ready to outgrow a template, not babysit one
If you need a 40-page e-commerce build with a custom booking engine, I'm probably not the right fit - and that's fine.
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
Managed means the site is built for you, updates get handled for you, and you don't have to be the designer, developer, and tech support person all at once. You still own the business direction, content, and every decision. I own the rest.

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. A managed site is built properly for your business, hosted on modern infrastructure, and looked after month to month. Side by side:
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.
Fair questions
Why not just use Squarespace?
Fine for a starter site. Not fine when your business outgrows the template, when the builder locks you out of doing anything interesting, or when you'd rather be running the business than sitting in a dashboard. If the goal is just to get something online, a DIY builder is cheaper. If the goal is a site that makes you look like a serious operator and keeps up as you grow, this is the better route.
What's Vercel and why should I care?
It's the modern hosting platform your site runs on behind the scenes. You don't deal with it. What you get is the result: fast loads, proper uptime, and a site that feels premium. The underlying code also lives in Git under your name, so you're never trapped inside one company's builder.
Do I still have control of my website?
Yes. You're handing over the burden of building and managing the site, not the business. Content, direction, brand, and final say on every change stay with you. I just handle the grunt work so you don't have to be the designer, developer, and tech support person all at once.
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.
