Design concepts

What we'd make you, before you pay us.

These are concepts, not client sites — designed for the kinds of Sydney business we build for, using stock photography. Yours gets built the same way, with your own photos, and you see it before you owe us anything.

How it works

Four steps, and only one needs you.

Most agencies start with a meeting and a quote. We start with the website.

01

Six questions

What you do, where you are, what you want the site to achieve. A couple of minutes on your phone — no meeting to schedule.

02

We build it

Designed around your business and written for you, using the photos you send us. Free, and before you've paid anything.

03

You tell us what's wrong

Change anything — words, prices, photos, layout. As many rounds as it takes. This is the only part that needs you.

04

We look after it

Live on your own domain. Then it's ours to maintain — text us any change and it's done.

What you get

One thing, done properly.

We don't do everything. We make small businesses a website that works, then keep it working so you never think about it again.

Your photos

No photographer needed

Send us what's on your phone. We straighten, relight and clean them up so they look properly shot — the way any photographer would finish their own work.

  • Phone photos are genuinely fine
  • We'll tell you which ones work
  • Never stock images of someone else's business
  • A real photographer available if you'd rather
Designed

Not a template with your logo on it

Every site is built around your business. A cafe and a dental practice shouldn't look like the same page in different colours.

  • Written for you — you don't supply the words
  • Your photos, or we'll help you get some
  • Fast on a phone, where nearly everyone sees it
  • Set up to show up on Google for your suburb
Included

Everything, in the monthly

No line items, no surprise invoices, no hourly rate when you need a price changed.

  • Hosting, SSL and daily backups
  • Your domain registered or connected
  • Unlimited changes, whenever you want them
Looked after

A real person answers

Text us a change and it's done. No ticket system, no account manager who's left.

  • Same people every time
  • Changes usually the same day
  • Cancel with 30 days notice after the minimum
Pricing

Nothing to pay until it's live.

No setup fee, no build cost, no quote to chase. One monthly fee covering everything — and two months free if you pay for the year.

Live within 48 hours of your photos, or the first month after it goes live is on us. Not your first month — nothing's due until it's live anyway, so refunding that would be worth nothing to you. A month you'd otherwise pay for. We'd rather put that in writing than tell you how fast we are.

What most take

  • Everything in Website
  • One working tool built into your site. Pick one:
  • An instant quote calculator, priced off your own rates

Photography

Most clients send photos from their phone and we make them look properly shot — straightened, relit, cleaned up. A photographer is available as a paid extra if you'd rather. We never put stock images of someone else's business on your site.

The bigger work

When a website isn't the actual problem.

Plenty of businesses don't need a better website. They need to stop running the whole operation out of a paper diary, a phone that never stops ringing, and quotes written at 9pm. That's the work we're best at.

Booking

Stop answering the phone all day

Customers book themselves, you see it on your phone, and nothing gets double-booked.

Quoting

Quotes in minutes, not evenings

Priced off your own rates and sent while you're still standing in front of the customer.

Job management

Nothing falls through

Enquiry to job to invoice in one place, so nobody has to chase you twice.

Portals

They can see where things are up to

Far fewer "any update?" calls, because the answer is already on their screen.

Every one is different, so we scope and quote it properly after a conversation — and it's built in weeks rather than the months an agency takes. If you're not sure you need one, we'll tell you honestly. Often the answer is no.

Why it costs this

Where the money actually goes.

An agency quotes $3,000 and six weeks

Most of that is meetings, revisions and waiting. We spent two years building tools that remove the waiting, so the same website takes days. You get the time back, and the price.

The build is free because the relationship isn't

We'd rather carry the build cost and keep you three years than charge $3,000 once and never speak again. It only works if we actually look after you.

A website is never finished

Prices change, staff change, you add a service. Paying someone $150 an hour each time is why most small business websites are four years out of date.

Why we're not the cheapest

You can get a $500 website. It'll be a template with your logo dropped in and nobody to ring when it breaks. There's a real person here who answers.

Questions

The ones we always get.

We already have a website.

Most businesses we talk to do. The question is whether it brings you work, and whether you'd rather never think about it again. Send us the link and we'll tell you honestly — if it's fine, we'll say so.

What about photos? I haven't got any good ones.

Most people send us what's on their phone and it's fine — we'll tell you which ones work. If you'd rather have it done properly we can arrange a photographer as a paid extra. What we won't do is put stock photos of someone else's business on your live site.

Why monthly and not a one-off?

Because a website isn't a one-off. It needs hosting, a domain, security, backups and changes as your business changes. Paying $3,000 once and then paying someone else every time you need a price updated is the old way.

What does "unlimited changes" actually mean?

Content changes — as many as you like, whenever you like. New prices, new staff, new photos, new services, opening hours, a whole new page. Text us and it's usually done the same day.

What it isn't: a full redesign every month, or custom software. If you want a completely different look we'll do it once a year happily, and if you need a booking system or a quoting tool that's a separate build we quote properly. We'd rather tell you the boundary now than argue about it later.

How fast is it really?

Live 48 hours after your photos land. Not from when you sign — from when we have what we need. We send you a shoot list of eight photos to take on your phone, it takes about twenty minutes, and the clock starts when they arrive.

What happens if I cancel?

Six month minimum, then 30 days' notice whenever you like. We'll help move the domain wherever you want it. We'd rather you left easily than felt trapped.

How can it be this cheap?

Because we built the tooling that removes the six weeks of back-and-forth an agency charges you for. We're not cutting quality, we're cutting the part that was never worth paying for.

Get started

See yours before you decide.

Six quick questions and we'll build your website and send you the link. Free, and nothing happens until you've seen it.
