Website Design & Development
A proper website that looks the part, works on every screen and makes it easy for customers to contact you.

Hosting & Website Care
Practical hosting, maintenance and ongoing support without having to manage it all yourself.
What this can include
Looked after once it’s live.
Hosting is selected to suit the type of website or application. Paid plans include hosting checks and, on the managed plans, a set allowance of small monthly changes, with transparent renewals and customer ownership of their domain.
Before quoting, I'll work through the requirements and make sure the scope matches what you actually need. If you're unsure about the technical details, the Project Builder will help you explain them.
Care plans start from $29 a month. No GST is added. I'm not registered for GST. See pricing
I meet clients by arrangement in northern Melbourne and the Hume corridor, Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley, Bendigo and Central Victoria and the Yarra Valley, and work remotely with businesses across Australia.

How it works
From first message to launch.
Every project follows the same clear steps, so you know what happens next and what you need to decide.
Understand the brief
You explain the business, the problem and what a good result looks like. “Not sure” answers are fine at this stage.
Agree the scope
I turn the requirements into a written scope and quote that lists inclusions, exclusions and any recurring costs. No GST is added, because I’m not registered for GST.
Build and review
Work is shared for review at agreed points so you can check it against how the business actually runs.
Launch and support
Testing, handover and access are completed before launch, with optional hosting and care afterwards.
Questions
Hosting: common questions.
Can you take over a website hosted somewhere else?
Usually, yes. I review the current setup first so the move can be planned without losing email, content or search visibility.
What does a care plan include?
Plans cover hosting oversight and checks, and the managed plans add a set allowance of small monthly content changes. Backups and recovery aren’t included in any care plan; if you need them, I’ll quote them separately. Each plan states what is included and what is billed separately.
Will I still own my domain?
Yes. Your domain should stay registered in your business name, with renewal responsibilities agreed in writing.
