Custom web design, SEO and ongoing website management for Newport businesses. Built for a village that trades on locals through the week and visitors on the weekend.
My dad and I started working with Julian as I was learning how to build our friend's website. They were so helpful and I learnt so much from them. The website they built for us was so beautiful, thank you so much.

Why it matters here
Newport runs on a split. Through the week it is a local village: the cafes, the trades, the marine businesses along the Pittwater side, the services keeping the houses on the hill running. On a weekend it fills with people who have driven up Barrenjoey Road and are deciding where to stop.
Those two customers need different things from the same website. The local wants to know you are open and what changed. The visitor wants photographs, a price range, parking and how far it is. Sites built for only one of them leave money on the table every Saturday.
Our website design work here is built for both. Fast on a phone with poor reception, honest about hours, obvious about how to book or order, and photographed so the place looks like itself rather than a stock library.
The marine side of Newport has a different problem again. Boat maintenance, moorings, rigging and the trades that service them are chosen on competence and availability, and the customer is often searching from a jetty. Those pages need to be plain, specific and fast, which is the opposite of what a hospitality page needs.
The other thing that costs businesses up here is seasonality. A site that still shows winter hours in December, or a menu from two summers ago, actively loses trade during the weeks that matter most. We hand it over so a change takes two minutes from a phone, because that is the only version that stays current.

What is included
Priced on what the business actually needs. For hospitality and visitor businesses that usually means fewer pages, faster, with booking front and centre. Custom website design, web development, photography direction and ongoing support in one place.
Built for someone standing outside with a phone, deciding now. Photos that look like the real place, prices where people expect them, and no interruption between wanting and booking. Responsive websites first, desktop second.
Set up for the searches that happen within a few hundred metres of you, plus the planning searches people make before they arrive. Local optimisation for both, because they are very different intents.
WordPress so hours, menus and specials can be changed from a phone in two minutes. Responsive websites as standard, your brand identity applied across the site, and WooCommerce or Shopify behind it if you sell online as well as in person.
Your options
Not every job is a rebuild. Sometimes the site is fine and the booking path is the problem. Sometimes the photos are doing the damage. We scope to whatever is actually losing you the sale, measured against your business goals.
Fast on a phone in bright sun, honest about hours, obvious about how to book or order, and photographed so the place looks like itself. Tailored to your trading pattern, and usually the centre of the whole online presence.
Built for the visitor researching a week out as well as the one outside now: what to expect, how to get there, what it costs and what else is nearby. E-commerce added where you sell gift cards, tickets or product.
A decade of client work
Local, not "servicing the area"
Our office is in Quakers Hill. Newport is about as far from us as Sydney gets, and we are not going to pretend to be a Pittwater local.
What we will do is come up once, properly. Look at the place, photograph it in the light it actually gets, and work out what the site has to show. Everything after that runs on calls and shared screens, which suits people working weekends. If you would rather come to us on a quiet day, there is a big screen for it.
Local ranking is not decided by where our desk sits. Structure, speed, schema and review signals are the levers, and none of them have a postcode.
Being from elsewhere means we ask instead of guessing. Which months carry the year, whether the weekend crowd or the locals pay the bills, and what people are actually looking for when they stop. The page structure follows those answers.

Send whatever you have now. We will show you the pages that beat yours and point at the reasons rather than talking about design. Then an honest answer on whether a rebuild fixes it or whether a fortnight of changes would.
Straight answers
What hospitality and visitor businesses ask us first, answered without the sales pitch.
It depends on scale and how much photography is needed. Good images cost real money here and are worth it. We scope it and give you one fixed quote before anything starts.
Four to six weeks, and the photography is usually what sets the pace. We plan the shoot around your quiet periods rather than fighting service.
Yes, and locally it is very winnable. Being the obvious answer within a few kilometres matters more than city wide rankings. No promises of position one.
Not at all. A good share of our clients have never walked through the door and their sites are none the worse. If you would rather sit down, we are glad to, but nothing about the work requires it.
