About me
I build clean, fast websites for tight-budget local businesses who're looking to work with an individual rather than big agencies.
You'll find me in my shed restoring my 1976 Volkswagen or working on a trailer I'm converting into a pub! Hearing success stories of local builders, businesses & side-gigs really slaps a smile onto my face. That's why I'm all for building professional yet affordable websites at a fraction the price you'd expect from an agency or high-level freelancer.
Background
What brought me here?
Since November 2025 I've really knuckled down on learning some of the ins and outs of building websites. As someone with a prominent kinesthetic style of learning, I probably seemed like person you'd least expect to pick up a laptop then get hooked on learning web design. Oh well, here we are 8 months later! Having learnt so much from my father's side of tradespeople really gives me the confidence to work alongside handymen, contractors, building companies and any tradies in building them a website closely aligned with the work they do. That being said, interest towards it didn't just magically appear one day, to tell the truth it grew bit by bit for about half a year prior as I met the owners of small business not just around Geelong but also Melbourne and Adelaide.
Recent work
DJS Tradeworx window installation business - Brand new website
DJS Tradeworx approached me in 2024 with a tight budget and two needs; somewhere to showcase their work & a place for potential clients to submit their interest. Content updates and minor tweaks are still provided to this day - without the days or sometimes weeks of delay that could be expected when a single change needs to go through mountains of layers of approval in an agency.
Bloodline Gym Newcomb - Website redesign + content updates
I approached Oliver at Bloodline Gym after I'd noticed his Squarespace website pictures didn't match the gym in its current state. This was really important because some of their kit is of only a few in Australia which is a huge selling point when people are looking for only the most top-notch gym equipment. No hidden fees or recurring costs, just a quick in and out content update.
Down Under Computers Lara - Brand new website
This is my current project, DUC has a few goals with this website and I'm working with them to make sure they can be hit; gather bookings, pop up in google searches, showcase their work and eventually have an e-commerce section dedicated to selling refurbished computer parts. Being a new business run by a couple of mates working full-time, their budget didn't exactly scream plentiful. That's the type of business I love helping out & working with
