Local to Sunbury 3429

Melbourne agencies quote eight grand. I'm up the road, and I start at $890.

A website for your trade, shop, clinic or yard. It opens fast, you can update it yourself, and it's set up so people find you on Google. Made in Sunbury.

  • Live in two to three weeks
  • Opens fast on any phone
  • A design of your own

Every site, every price

What every website includes

A design of your own

Nobody else gets your layout. It's drawn from scratch to suit your business, not a template with your logo dropped in the corner.

Opens in about a second

Even on one bar of reception out past Bulla. Slow sites get shut before they load, and that customer rings the next mob on the list instead.

You update it yourself

A finished job, a price change, closing over Christmas. Type it, press publish, done. Nobody to ring and no invoice for a paragraph of text.

Enquiries that reach you

Straight to your inbox, with a copy kept on the site in case your email plays up. The junk gets stopped before it ever gets to you.

Found on Google

Set up so you turn up when someone nearby searches for what you actually do, with your free Google Business Profile sorted at the same time.

Works for everyone

Big clear text, real contrast, buttons you can hit with a thumb. One Australian in five has a disability, and they ring whoever's site they could actually use.

Recent work

Sites I've made

Every one of these was designed from scratch for that business. Nothing here started as an off-the-shelf template, and each card says whether it was paid work or one of my own projects.

Client work

Estate Management London

Property and asset management, London W9

A London property practice stuck on a site nobody in the office could change. The new one publishes their fee, answers the questions tenants ring about, and the office updates it themselves.

  • A design of their own
  • Guides for landlords and tenants
  • Fees published openly

Own project

stuartdobson.ai

AI consultancy, Sunbury

My own consultancy site. Eight pages, my Substack posts pulled in so they load instantly and show up on Google, and a cookie banner that asks before it loads anything.

  • A design of its own
  • Blog posts pulled in automatically
  • Asks before it tracks you

Talk about adding AI

Care plan: optional, cancel any time

Hosting, your domain renewal, the security padlock, nightly backups, keeping everything up to date, and up to 30 minutes of small text or photo changes a month. Anything bigger gets quoted first. Without it you're welcome to look after the site yourself. It's yours either way.

$49/month + GST

Prices are shown before GST, the way most trade quotes are, and they're a starting point for a site that size. Your written quote spells out the GST and the total, so you'll know the figure that actually leaves your account before you agree to anything. It doesn't move once we have.

How it works

Three steps, two to three weeks

  1. A chat, no charge

    Twenty minutes on the phone with me, based in Sunbury. I'll tell you what I'd do and what it would cost. If a website isn't what you need, I'll tell you that instead.

  2. A design to look at

    Within a week you'll see a real design of your actual site, with your photos and your words in it. Changes are expected at this stage. That's what it's for.

  3. Live, and yours

    I put it all together, we check it on your own phone, and it goes live. You get every login the same day. The site is yours whether or not you stay with me.

Optional Extras

AI, in plain English

Four jobs your website can do while you're on the job: sorting the real enquiries from the junk, answering someone who writes to you at nine at night, asking happy customers for a Google review, and drafting your monthly email. Each is $390 + GST to set up, then $69 + GST a month to run, and none of them send anything to a customer without you seeing it first.

Before you ask

The questions everyone asks

Do I actually own the site?

Yes. The domain is registered in your name, and you get every login on the day it goes live. If you ever leave, you take the whole site with you and I'll help you move it.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. The care plan is month to month and you can stop it whenever you like. There's no exit fee and nothing is held hostage.

Why is this so much cheaper than a Melbourne agency?

No office in the CBD, no account managers, no sales team taking a cut. You deal with me from the first chat to the day it goes live. The work is the same; the overheads aren't.

What if I need changes later?

Small day-to-day changes, like a new price or your Christmas hours, you make yourself in a couple of minutes. If you'd rather I did it, the care plan covers up to 30 minutes of small text and photo changes a month. Email me and they're usually done that day. Anything bigger gets quoted before I start, so you'll never get a surprise invoice.

Will it show up on Google?

It's set up for that from day one. Your pages are written around the words your customers actually type, like "physio Sunbury" rather than "wellness solutions", and your free Google Business Profile gets sorted at the same time. There's no monthly SEO fee, and no promise you'll be number one by Friday, because nobody honest can promise that.

Can older customers and people with a disability use it?

Yes, and it's worth caring about. Big clear text, enough contrast to read on a phone in the sun, buttons you can hit with a thumb, and it reads out properly for someone who can't see the screen. About one Australian in five has a disability. Most local sites shut them out without meaning to, and they ring the business whose site they could actually use.

Why do the AI extras cost a monthly fee?

Because they cost money every month to keep running. Every enquiry your site reads, sorts or answers is a charge on my account, and the models underneath them change often enough that someone has to watch it and fix it when it drifts. The $69 a month covers both, it's month to month, and you can stop it whenever you like.

How long does it take?

Two to three weeks for most sites, from our first chat to going live. The slow part is almost always gathering photos and words, so I'll help you with that instead of waiting.

Do I have to be technical to run it?

No. If you can write an email, you can update the site. Posting news, changing a price or swapping a photo takes a couple of minutes, and there's a short written guide for the rest. Everything behind the scenes, the hosting, the backups, the security and the updates, is handled for you. You never have to think about any of it.

Do you only work in Sunbury?

Sunbury first, but I look after businesses across Diggers Rest, Bulla, Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Romsey and the Macedon Ranges, all within about half an hour of Sunbury.

Let's have a chat about it.

Tell me what your business does and what's frustrating you about being online. I'll tell you what I'd design for you and what it would cost. No charge, and no follow-up unless you ask for one.

Serving Sunbury, Clarkfield, Diggers Rest, Bulla, Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Romsey and the Macedon Ranges.
