Who you get
The person who answers your email is the person who builds your site.
The process
Day 0
We go through what the site has to do, who it is for and what already works. No brief template, no discovery phase. You get a fixed quote in writing within two business days.
Thursday
New message

Day 1 to 2
Your site goes live on a private link. Not a design file, not a slide. The actual working thing.
Day 3 to 4
You send your changes in writing. Two rounds are included within the agreed scope. Extra features are quoted before any work starts.
Day 5
We go live and I show you how everything works. Then you choose: I keep looking after it, or you take the keys and run it yourself. Either way the domain, code, accounts and content transfer to you on final payment.
I look after it
From $30/month. Hosting, security, backups, monitoring. You never think about it again.
You run it
Full handover. Domain, code, every account, plus written docs. No fee, no hard feelings.
A small site is usually live within a week, and larger builds run to the schedule in your quote. There is nobody to brief and no queue in front of you.
After launch
Hosting from $30/month, or looked after from $60/month. No lock-in. 30 days notice, any time.
How it is built
Platforms. I have built on Wix, WordPress, Webflow and Shopify. These days I mostly build in Lovable because it is faster and the result is cleaner. I am a certified Lovable expert, one of the first in Australia. Running an online store? Shopify is usually the answer.
Payments and integrations. Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, booking systems, your accounting software. Whatever you already use. If you have not picked one yet, I will recommend something that fits.
On AI. I use Lovable and Claude Code to build, which is why a simple site can be ready in a day or two. The judgment is still mine, and everything gets reviewed before it goes near you.
On security. Most small business sites get compromised through out of date plugins. Yours will not have any. SSL, security updates and daily backups are standard.
Every site gets optimised before launch. A full scan for security, SEO and AI search, and I fix what it finds. Most small business sites have never had that done once.
Our work
Who you are hiring
I co-owned Tasmania's largest pharmacy and sold it in 2017. During COVID I started a Tasmanian hand sanitiser operation and worked with the state emergency response team on medical supplies and supply chains. Twenty years of staff, stock, compliance and cash flow, all of it in Tasmania.
During that time I hired a lot of agencies, web designers and consultants. The frustrating part was never the price. It was the waiting. The account manager who had to check with someone. The three emails it took to change a phone number.
So I understand what a business owner actually needs out of this. You get one point of contact, you get told what is happening, and when you want something changed it gets done quickly rather than next sprint.
These days I also run a large YouTube channel, which is a longer story.

Questions
I climb a lot of Tasmania's mountains, and most of them are dolerite, the volcanic rock that forms our most dramatic peaks. I wanted the name to come from somewhere real. The websites are meant to work the same way. Built once, properly, and still standing in ten years.
