What would it mean for your business if your website actually brought in customers every week?
I build custom websites with SEO and AI search built in from day one — then stay involved for months after launch to make sure it keeps working.
Why does custom code make a difference to your website?
Every site I build is custom coded from scratch. No WordPress theme stack. No plugins costing $50 a month each just to make the site function properly. No template that makes you look like everyone else.
Custom code means the site is fast from day one, built around what your business actually needs, and not locked into a platform you have to keep paying to maintain.
If you specifically want WordPress, I can build on it. But it is never my default, because my default is whatever works best for you.
Why are most agencies missing AI search?
Search has changed. People are not just typing into Google anymore. They are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's own AI for recommendations — and those tools are answering before anyone clicks a single link.
Getting your business into those AI answers is not luck. It is structure. I build your site so that AI tools can read it, trust it, and recommend it. This is newer than traditional SEO, most web agencies are not doing it, and the businesses that get in early have a real advantage.
For those who want the technical terms: this is what is known as GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation). Read our plain-English guide to what GEO and AEO actually mean for your business.
Not sure what to say? I can sort that too.
You know your business. Turning that into words that actually bring in customers is a different skill — and most people are not sure where to start.
I can help with your copy, tone, and messaging as part of the build. It takes a bit more time and a few good conversations, but the end result is a site that sounds like you, not like a template.
Three clear steps
Step 1 — We talk
Tell me about your business. Where you are now, where you want to be, and who you are trying to reach. No forms, no jargon. Just a conversation.
Step 2 — I build
I handle the design, the code, the SEO structure, and everything in between. You stay in the loop at every stage. When it is ready, I walk you through it before anything goes live.
Step 3 — I keep going
Launch day is just the start. I monitor the site, make adjustments, and keep working on your search presence for months after launch. That post-launch period is often where the real results show up.
How much does a custom website cost?
Essentials
From $1,800
4–5 pages, on-page SEO, Google Business Profile setup, and 3 months post-launch monitoring.
That works out at less than $5 a day over a year. Less than a coffee.
Growth
From $2,800
Everything in Essentials, plus 6–8 pages, full SEO and AI search optimisation, schema markup, and 6 months post-launch monitoring and reporting.
Around $7.70 a day over a year. About one coffee, for a website that is actively working to bring in customers.
Full Partner
From $4,500
Everything in Growth, plus 3–5 starter blog articles written, Google Ads setup and management (ad spend not included), email marketing setup, and 12 months monitoring and ongoing SEO.
About $12.30 a day. Two coffees, for the whole digital side handed off.
All prices exclude GST. I will always give you a clear number before any work starts. No surprises.
Most builds are delivered in under a week from when your interview and all supplied content, photos, and copy are in. The timeline is almost always on your side of the fence, not mine. The moment everything is ready, I move fast.

Website design questions
Do I need to supply my own photos and copy?
Not necessarily. I can work with AI-generated imagery and stock photos, and I can help write your copy as part of the build. If you have photos and copy ready, great — it speeds things up. If not, I will tell you exactly what I need and help you get there.
How long will the build take?
Once your interview is done and your content, photos, and copy are with me, most builds ship in under a week. The wait is usually on the content side, not the build. I will give you a clear timeline before we start.
What if I already have a site I want to keep?
If you want SEO work on an existing site rather than a new build, that is a separate service. Have a look at the SEO page, or get in touch and I will point you in the right direction.
What is the difference between a custom website and Google Ads?
Ads stop the moment you stop paying for them. A well-built site with solid SEO keeps working after you close your laptop. Ads can be useful for short-term visibility, but they are not a substitute for a site that earns its place in search results over time. I can help you set up Google Ads as part of a broader plan, but I would never recommend them as a replacement for getting the foundations right first.
