You don't need a huge website.
You just need a good one.
I build simple, polished websites for small businesses that need to look professional online — without the big agency price tag or a complicated website project.
Based on the Hibiscus Coast and working with small businesses near and far.
A website doesn't need to be complicated.
Maybe you've been meaning to sort yours out for months.
Maybe you started doing it yourself and never quite finished.
Or maybe your business has moved on, but your website hasn't.
You just need a website that clearly explains what you do, makes your business look credible, and gives people an easy way to get in touch.
That's what I build.
Small and straightforward
I'll focus on what your website actually needs — and leave out what it doesn't.
You don't need to know the website stuff
I'll guide you through what's needed and take care of getting everything connected.
Made for your business
Designed around your business, your brand and the customers you want to reach — not dropped into a generic template.
Websites that make small businesses look the part.
Every business is different, so every website looks different too. Here are a few examples of websites I've designed and built.
This is Rise
A one-page website for a business enablement consultancy, built around a bold serif headline and a warm sunrise gradient.

Math Monsters
A playful, colourful website for a children's maths game — fun enough for kids, credible enough for parents.

Paul Vermaak
A professional one-pager for a commercial property broker, set against a dusk Auckland skyline with a classic serif headline.

Tell me about your business
Send me an enquiry and tell me what you need.
We talk it through
We'll have a chat about your business, brand and website. A $500 deposit gets the project started.
I build it
I'll design the desktop site first, you review it, then I'll refine the mobile version.
Review + launch
You get one final revision round, pay the remaining balance, and we go live.
Two rounds of revisions included. Most websites are completed within 2–3 weeks.
I love making websites that feel like the businesses behind them.
One of my favourite parts of this work is getting to know your business — what you offer, who you want to reach, and how you want people to feel when they find you.
Then I get to translate all of that into a website that's clear, easy to use and beautiful to look at.
Because your website shouldn't just explain your services. It should give people a sense of your business too — whether that's bright and playful, calm and polished, warm and welcoming, or something completely your own.
My background is in business, so I naturally think about both sides: what you want to say, and what your customer actually needs to understand.
You tell me about your business, what you do, and how you want your customers to feel. I'll turn that into a website that feels like you and makes sense to the people you're trying to reach.
