Each site is designed around your content, business goals and ideal users. I don’t use pre-made themes, every layout is built to fit your brand, not the other way around.

Built with SEO & performance in mind
From clean structure to loading speed, I’ll build your site with best practices in place — giving you a solid foundation for future growth.
No templates or bloated themes
I use lightweight, flexible tools to build every site from the ground up — no off-the-shelf templates, no unnecessary fluff, just clean design tailored to your content.

Once the site is launched, I’ll show you how to make updates yourself — or you can hand it over entirely with an optional care plan.

Frequently asked questions
I know that starting a design project can come with a lot of questions, so I’ve compiled the most common ones I hear from clients. If you don’t see what you’re looking for here, just get in touch and I’ll be happy to help.
Contact AmandaWill my website be mobile-friendly?
Yes. Every website I build is fully responsive, so it looks great and works smoothly across desktop, tablet and mobile.
Do you use templates or custom design?
I design every website from scratch to suit your brand and needs. I don’t use off-the-shelf templates—so your site will look and feel like yours, not like everyone else’s.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Definitely. I build your site with ease of use in mind, so you can confidently make changes on your own—or reach out if you’d rather hand it over.
Do you help with hosting and domains?
If I’m building your website, I recommend using my hosting and maintenance package—it keeps everything in one place and running smoothly. I can also help you register your domain and guide you through the setup so everything’s ready to go.
How much will it cost me?
My website packages start from $4,000 + GST. If you’re after something smaller, larger, or need an ecommerce setup, I’ll provide a custom quote based on your needs.
Do I need to provide the content?
Not entirely—putting content together can be overwhelming, so I make it as easy as possible. As part of my process, I’ll guide you through what’s needed and help shape the content strategy for your website.
You’ll need to provide your logo and any existing images you’d like to use (or we can organise new ones if needed). From there, we’ll create a clear plan for how we’ll tackle the content—together.
What about images—do I need to supply those?
If you already have photos you’d like to use, that’s great! We can also chat about what else might be needed during the planning phase.
I can help source high-quality stock images (additional cost), or we can organise professional photography if you’re after something more tailored. Whatever your situation, I’ll guide you through the options and make sure we’ve got the right visuals to bring your website to life.
Can you train me to use the website?
Yes! I’ll provide video tutorials to walk you through updating your site. You’ll also get two weeks of post-launch support, and if you need long-term help, my care plans have you covered.
Can you work with my existing logo or brand?
Definitely. I can work within existing brand guidelines or help you refresh what you’ve got if things need a bit of a polish.
What’s the process like?
It starts with a conversation. I’ll ask about your goals, timeline and what you’re hoping to achieve. From there, I’ll put together a tailored proposal. Once we kick off, I’ll guide you through each step, from concept to completion, keeping things clear and collaborative. You can also learn more about my approach here.
Who will I be working with?
Just me. I don’t outsource or use offshore contractors. Every piece of design, every email, and every part of the process is handled by me personally—so you always know who you’re dealing with.
How much will my project cost?
Pricing depends on the scope and complexity. After an initial consultation, I’ll put together a clear quote with no surprises—so you know exactly what’s included.
Do you have set packages?
While I occasionally offer service bundles, most of my work is tailored. If you need a combination of services, I can create a custom package that fits your goals and budget.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. For larger projects, I’m happy to split payments into stages to help spread out the cost.
How long will it take?
Every project is different. Small design jobs may take a week or two, while websites or brand packages can take 4–10 weeks depending on complexity. I’ll give you a realistic timeline at the start.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. I typically ask for a 50% deposit to lock in your project, with the remainder due upon completion.
How long have you been in business?
I’ve been in the design industry for over 25+ years. That experience helps me deliver clear, consistent and well-considered work for every client I work with.
Who do you usually work with?
Most of my clients are small business owners, solopreneurs, non-profits and professionals who need a design partner they can rely on. They’re usually time-poor and want someone who can take the lead and get the job done well.
What’s the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org?
Great question! WordPress.com is a hosted platform with limitations on customisation and plugins. WordPress.org is the self-hosted version that gives you complete control and flexibility, this is what I use for custom development. With WordPress.org, you own your site completely, can add any functionality you need, and aren’t restricted by platform limitations. I’ll handle all the technical setup so you get the benefits without the hassle.
Will my WordPress site be secure?
Absolutely. Security is built into every WordPress site I create. I implement strong passwords, regular updates, security plugins, SSL certificates, and reliable hosting with backup systems. I also offer ongoing maintenance plans that include security monitoring and updates to keep your site protected long-term. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your business website is secure.
