Website design

Websites built to rank, not just built to exist.

Affordable web design for businesses that need to be found near them. I research what your customers actually search for, then build your site to match it. Service pages and suburb pages that rank in Google, not just a pretty five-pager that nobody finds.

About the approach

Operator, not agency

Most web design agencies have an account manager who takes the brief, a designer who does the look, and a developer who builds it. By the time the site is live, the person who sold it to you has moved on to the next client.

I do all of it. The keyword research, the copy, the design, the build. One person from brief to launch, and the same person managing your Google profile if you take the monthly plan. No hand-offs, no juniors, no runaround.

The difference shows in the work. When you understand what a site needs to do to rank, you build it differently from the start.

I've spent four years studying graphic design and two decades running marketing across wholesale, distribution, advertising agencies, print and real estate. I've been building websites that need to perform, not just look professional, for most of that time.

What you get

What a rank-built website includes

Keyword research

Real search data behind every page. I find what your customers type, then build pages around those exact terms.

Service pages

A page for each core service, written for your customers and for Google. Not a single "Services" page that lists everything in a paragraph.

Suburb and location pages

Pages targeting the suburbs you work in. This is how local service businesses rank for searches with a location in them.

Mobile-first design

Most of your customers find you on a phone. The site is built and tested for mobile first.

Google setup

Your Google Business Profile claimed, verified and optimised off the same keyword research as the site.

Copy included

I write the words. You provide the details, I handle the rest. No blank brief, no Lorem Ipsum placeholder.

Analytics connected from day one

Set up properly from day one. Google Analytics, Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster connected so you can see what's working.

FAQ

Common questions about website design

How is a rank-built website different from a normal website?

A rank-built website starts with keyword research: I find what your customers actually search for, then build the pages around those terms. Service pages and suburb pages are written and structured to rank in Google, not just to look nice. A standard web designer builds what looks good. I build what gets found.

Do you write the copy or do I need to provide it?

I write the copy. You provide the details: what you do, where you work, what makes you different. I turn that into pages written for both your customers and Google. You review and I refine.

What does a website refresh include?

A refresh modernises your current site: mobile-friendly layout, faster load time, clear calls to action on every page, and proper setup on Google. It does not include new keyword research or suburb pages. If you need those, the rank-built option is the right one.

How long does the build take?

A refresh typically takes two to three weeks. A full rank-built site takes three to four weeks, depending on the number of service and suburb pages. I give you a clear timeline before we start.

Is the monthly plan required?

No. The build is a one-off. The monthly plan keeps it working after launch: fresh reviews, posts, hosting and small edits. Most clients take both because a site on its own goes stale. But you can start with just the build.

Do you build sites for any industry?

Mainly trade and local service businesses, tradies, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, physios, accountants, builders and similar. If your customers search locally to find you, the approach works.

Is this affordable web design, or agency pricing?

Affordable, because there is no agency overhead. You deal with one person who does the work, so you are not paying for account managers, junior staff or a city office. A refresh starts from $1,500 + GST and a rank-built site from $2,500 + GST. You get agency-quality work without the agency markup.

Can you do a website redesign on my existing site?

Yes. The refresh option is a website redesign: I take your current site and fix what is holding it back. Layout, speed, copy, calls to action and your Google setup. If the structure is sound, a redesign is usually the faster, cheaper path. If it is not, I will tell you honestly and recommend a rank-built site instead.

Do you do web design near me?

Almost certainly. I am based in the Hawkesbury region of Sydney and build sites for businesses right across Australia. Every project gets location-specific keyword research, so the site targets searches from your area, not generic national terms. We work over video calls and shared previews, so distance makes no difference to the result.
