What I Do
Web design and local SEO for Torquay, Geelong & the Surf Coast.
Most small business websites fail for the same two reasons. They load too slowly on a phone, and they don't make it obvious what the business does or how to get in touch. A visitor who has to work that out will just go back to Google and click the next result.
I build the opposite of that: hand-coded sites with no page-builder bloat, designed for a phone screen first, with the call-to-action where someone's thumb already is. Every build includes the technical groundwork search engines look for — clean heading structure, fast load times, structured data and a valid sitemap — so the site has a genuine chance of ranking rather than sitting on page four.
I'm based in Torquay and work with businesses across Geelong and the wider Surf Coast. That means I can meet you in person, and it means I understand how differently trade moves here between January and July.
How It Works
From first chat to live site.
A straightforward process, start to finish — no jargon, no drawn-out back-and-forth, no invoice you weren't expecting.
Quick chat
Tell me about the business — what you do, who your customers are, and what you want the site to achieve. I come back with a fixed price in writing.
Design & build
I write the copy, design the pages and build the site from scratch — custom-coded, mobile-first, and made to convert visitors into customers.
Launch & support
Your site goes live and I take care of the domain and hosting from there. I stick around for tweaks and support afterwards too.

Based in Torquay, working with businesses right along the coast and through the Geelong region.

A bigger, more competitive market with far more search volume behind it — which makes the technical and local SEO groundwork matter more, not less.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Every site is quoted on scope rather than sold as a fixed package, because a five-page site for a sole trader and a twenty-page site with location pages are genuinely different builds. Most small business sites in this area land in the low-to-mid four figures. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Most builds run one to three weeks from our first conversation to going live. The main variable is how quickly content — photos, service details, business information — comes back to me. If you already have your content ready, the shorter end is realistic.
Yes. Most of the work is Torquay, Geelong and the Surf Coast because that's where I'm based and local knowledge genuinely helps, but the build process works just as well remotely. If you're elsewhere in Victoria or interstate, get in touch.
Every site is built with the technical foundations search engines need: clean structure, fast load times, proper headings, structured data and a sitemap. That handles the on-page side. Ranking for competitive local searches also depends on your Google Business Profile, reviews and time — which is what the local SEO service covers.
I take care of the domain and hosting from there, so there's nothing technical for you to manage. I'm available for changes and support afterwards, either ad-hoc or on a maintenance plan that covers updates, backups, security patching and uptime monitoring.
You don't have to. Copywriting is included in every build — I'll interview you about the business, then write the pages and send them for review before they go anywhere near the design. If you'd rather write it yourself, that's fine too.
