Custom web design, SEO and ongoing website management for Thornleigh businesses. Built for the trade and light industrial pocket as much as the shops.
Julian was great to work with and smashed the website out of the park. Clean design, smooth process and excellent value. Would happily recommend him to anyone needing a website.

Why it matters here
Thornleigh is one of the few places on the Upper North Shore with a genuine light industrial pocket. Along the rail corridor sit workshops, joinery, automotive, building supply and trade services that keep the surrounding suburbs running, alongside the retail strip and the houses.
Those businesses serve an area with money and high expectations, and they mostly lose work for one reason: a homeowner or builder searching a specific job could not tell from the website whether it was handled, so they rang the next one.
Our website design work here is built around what the customer types. One page per capability, written so a builder or a homeowner can tell in ten seconds whether you do their job.
There is a second market on the doorstep worth structuring for. Thornleigh trades service both the Upper North Shore, where jobs tend to be larger and more considered, and the Hills side, where the volume is higher and the decisions faster. Those are different pages, not one averaged page.
The other pattern here is a good business with a website that undersells the work. Excellent joinery or restoration photographed badly, or not photographed at all, on a site that lists nine services in three words each. Fixing that costs less than a rebuild and changes the calls immediately.

What is included
Quoted on what the job actually needs and tailored to it. For a trade or industrial business that usually means fewer pages done properly rather than a big site nobody reads. Strategy, custom website design, web development, copy and ongoing support sit with the one team.
A Thornleigh customer is often a homeowner spending significant money and asking careful questions. What you handle, how the job runs, and what the finished work looks like. Responsive websites throughout, because that research starts on a phone and finishes on a laptop.
Structured around the words your buyers actually type, which is usually a product, a capability or a standard rather than a service category invented by a marketer. Technical optimisation is built in during the project, not sold to you later.
Built on WordPress so you are never locked in, with WooCommerce or Shopify behind it if you sell parts or supply. Responsive by default, your brand identity carried through every page, and adding a product line or a certificate does not mean ringing us and waiting.
Your options
Not every business needs the full job. Some come to us with branding sorted and want the web development handled properly. Some only need the existing site made fast and findable. We scope to what is actually missing and to the business goals behind it.
Capability set out one job per page, photographs of finished work rather than stock, and a number never more than a thumb away. Tailored to the jobs worth having on this side of Sydney, and it is the whole online presence for most operators here.
A catalogue or trade store on top of the site, with pricing, freight and account handling set up so orders do not create more admin than they are worth. Full e-commerce where you need it, a downloadable price list where you do not.
A decade of client work
Local, not "servicing the area"
Our office is in Quakers Hill. Thornleigh is a fair drive across the north west but not a difficult one.
We will come to the workshop, walk through what you actually do, and photograph the finished work, because on the North Shore the quality of the job is the entire selling argument and most sites hide it. If you would rather come to us, the site goes on a big screen and we work through it together.
The search work does not depend on our postcode. Structure, speed, schema and reviews decide it, and trade businesses are a large part of our client base.
What we ask for early is the honest scope. Which jobs pay properly, which ones you take to fill a gap, and how far you will travel. That shapes the pages more than any design choice.

Give us the URL and we will look at it properly. We will pull the results and break down what is actually separating you from the top few. Then an honest answer on whether a rebuild fixes it or whether a fortnight of changes would.
Straight answers
The questions we get on almost every first call from a trade or industrial business, answered plainly.
It depends how much of your capability needs documenting. A five page site for a single trade is a very different job to a supplier with sixty product lines. We scope it, then give you one fixed quote, and that is the number you pay.
Four to six weeks for most builds. The slow part is almost never the build, it is getting photos of finished work and sign off on wording, so we tell you what we need and when.
That is the point of the exercise. Structure, speed and the right words are built in, and we can keep working on rankings afterwards. We will not promise you a position, because nobody honestly can.
No. Plenty of our clients we have never met in person and their sites are no worse for it. For a workshop we do like one visit, because photographing the finished work properly usually changes the site more than anything else.
