Designed with
purpose. Built
for business.

Small business web design, Australia-wide. Custom code, no templates: full websites, landing pages and web apps built so people trust you enough to get in touch.

The Revive Hub website, homepage

Revive Hub

Nat’s recovery studio, seven recovery services under one roof. Her customers find what they need and book it from their phone.

The Her Biz Bestie website, homepage

Her Biz Bestie

Paige’s virtual assistant business. Small business owners find her on Instagram, land here and get in touch.

The door is open to any industry: trades and home services, food and drink, professional services, everyone else. Every build starts the same way: work out what the site actually has to do, then build the shortest path to an enquiry.

All case studies

Sound like your website?

Tap the signs that match yours.

Tap any that sound like your website and I’ll explain what they usually mean.

  • One sign on its own is usually a smaller fix than people expect, and it’s worth sorting before it costs you more enquiries.
  • Two of the four signs. That usually means a rebuild rather than a patch-up, and a rebuild is a smaller job than most people think.
  • Three of the four. Your website is working against you right now. The good news is that every one of these is fixable in one go.
  • All four. Your website is almost certainly costing you customers every week, and one rebuild fixes the lot at once.

Haven’t got a website at all? Here’s what one actually does for a small business.

Got one but not sure it’s actually yours? Here’s who owns your website, and what happens if your web designer disappears.

How it works.

  1. Chat

    We talk through what your site has to do.

  2. Build

    I design and build it in custom code.

  3. Launch

    Live on your domain, checked on real phones.

  4. Support

    I stay on if you want me, for hosting and changes.

Ben just got it. He took the time to understand my business, what I stand for and, more importantly, how I need to come across to potential clients. His communication is exceptional, he works bloody quickly and he made the whole process feel easy.

Ben Sawkins

I’m Ben. I build websites from the Hunter Valley for small businesses that need one to actually bring work in.

No agency, no account manager: you talk to the person who builds it.

More about me

Three things people ask.

Do I own the website?

Yes, always. You own the website, the words, the images and the Google listing. The domain and hosting can sit in your name with me added as a helper, or I can run them for you and move them across whenever you ask. If we ever part ways, you keep the lot.

How long does building a website take?

Most builds take between one and five weeks, not months. A single landing page is usually about a week, and a full site with ten pages or more runs four to five weeks. You’ll get an exact timeline in writing before you pay anything, so the date isn’t a moving target.

Do you build on WordPress, Wix or Squarespace?

No. Every site I build is coded from scratch, custom for that business, with no page builder and no template underneath. That’s why the sites load fast and don’t look like anyone else’s. And if you’ve already got a site on one of those builders that isn’t bringing you work, rebuilding it properly is a lot of what I do.

All the questions

It starts with a conversation.
