Websites & Hosting
Fast, honest websites built without unnecessary complexity, backed by hosting I run myself on NodeStack — Australian servers, no lock-in.
I've built and maintained websites for everything from my own repair shop to a community radio station, and the lesson that's held up across every single one is the same: a website's job is to load fast, work properly on a phone, and clearly get someone to the next step — not to impress other web developers.
What I Actually Build
For most small businesses, that means a clean, hand-built site without unnecessary frameworks or build pipelines that someone else will struggle to maintain in a year. I match the complexity of the build to the complexity of the actual problem — a straightforward services-and-contact site gets a straightforward, fast, low-maintenance build; something genuinely needing rich interactivity or e-commerce gets the right tool for that job instead.
Real Examples, Not Theory
Your Local Tech Solutions — my own repair business — runs on a CMS I wrote myself, with a live repair-tracking portal customers actually use. 2YYY 92.3FM's site runs a persistent live stream player, program guide, and volunteer-managed admin, built in my time as the station's President. Both get tested on a deliberately throttled connection before I'll call them finished, because "fast on my office internet" and "fast for an actual customer on patchy mobile data" are two very different claims.
Hosting You Can Actually Trust
I host a meaningful share of my client sites on NodeStack — a VPS hosting platform I built and run myself, with servers across six regions, transparent flat pricing, and no lock-in. That means when something needs attention, I'm not waiting on a support ticket with a third party. I'm the one with root access.
What's Included
Design and build, a sensible content structure you can actually update yourself, basic SEO done properly rather than bolted on afterwards, and hosting that's monitored and backed up — not handed off and forgotten. If an existing site just needs an honest audit rather than a full rebuild, I'll tell you that too; I'd rather fix the one real problem than sell a rebuild nobody needed.
