I'm Zac. I hand-code fast, modern websites that look sharp, rank on Google, and belong to
you completely. No page builders, no templates, no monthly platform rent. One pair of
hands, from the first sketch to the day it goes live.

Hand-coded
The whole point
Rent a website, or own one.
Most small businesses pay a platform every month for a website they can never actually
take with them. Stop paying, and it vanishes. A hand-coded site is different: it is a set
of files that belong to you, forever. Here is the difference, side by side.
Renting
Wix, Squarespace, locked-in agencies
A monthly fee that never ends, for as long as you want a website.
Stop paying and the site disappears. You were only ever leasing it.
Heavy templates that load slowly and drag down your Google ranking.
Locked to one host and one editor. Moving means rebuilding.
Owning
Hand-coded HTML, built by Zac
Pay once for the build. No subscription holding your site hostage.
The files are yours. Keep them, move them, host them anywhere.
Lean code that loads in under a second and earns its Google ranking.
Editable by anyone who can open a text file. It still works in ten years.
A full design and build for one of Sydney's most established bathroom renovators. A site that finally looks as good as the work it represents, and a complete breakdown of how it was made.
I turned 32 years of craftsmanship into a fast, SEO-ready website with a free instant
cost calculator, 24 written suburb pages, and a refreshed identity that matches the
quality of the work. Then I documented every decision.
From first sketch to launch and beyond. Design, build, and the technical details that make a site rank and convert.
01
Web Design
Bold, modern interfaces with a clear hierarchy and a brand that feels considered. Designed mobile-first, with the polish of a studio rather than a template.
02
Development
Fast, accessible, hand-coded sites. No bloated page builders, just clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript that loads instantly and stays easy to maintain for years.
03
SEO & Local Search
Structured data, fast Core Web Vitals, suburb landing pages and on-page SEO so the right customers find you on Google, not just admire the design.
04
Performance
Optimised AVIF and WebP imagery, lazy loading and lean code for sub-second loads. Speed that keeps visitors and pleases Google in equal measure.
05
Brand & Identity
A cohesive visual identity across colour, type and motion, so every page feels like one confident brand rather than a stack of stock parts.
06
Ongoing Care
Hosting, updates and tweaks handled for you. Your site stays fast, secure and current long after launch, with one person who knows it inside out.
Add-on · Business OS beta
The back office I run my studio on. Bolt it onto yours.
Business OS is the all-in-one admin I built to run this studio: clients, pipeline, proposals,
quotes, invoices, finance, even a live client portal, in one file you actually own. No logins,
no monthly SaaS, no database to install. I can build it into your new site or add it to the one
you already have, and it re-skins itself for any trade: a plumber, an electrician or a bathroom
renovator just as well as a web studio.
Run everythingCRM pipeline, client database, proposals, estimates, invoices, receipts, agreements and a live finance dashboard.
Any tradePick an industry and every label, document and template re-words itself. Set your colours and it is yours.
You own itPlain HTML, CSS, JS and PHP. Drag-and-drop to any cPanel host. No build step, nothing to renew.
No jargon and no guesswork. Four stages, from the first call to a site that keeps earning its keep.
01 · Discovery
Listening before drawing
We talk through your business, your customers and what the site actually needs to do. I map the pages and the path to enquiry before any pixels move.
02 · Design
Real screens, in your brand
I design mobile-first, in your brand, with a clear hierarchy. You see real screens, not stock mockups, and we refine the look together until it feels right.
03 · Build
Hand-coded, nothing wasted
I hand-code the site with clean HTML, CSS and JavaScript: fast, accessible and easy to maintain, with structured data baked in from the very first line.
04 · Launch & care
Live, then looked after
I handle launch, testing and the technical setup. After that, hosting, updates and tweaks are looked after so the site stays sharp long after it ships.

Own it vs rent it
Hand-coded (yours forever)
Platform rental
Based on $3,500 design + $49/mo platform (Squarespace Business). Stop renting, and a platform site vanishes. Stop paying Zac, and your site stays put.
Ad-hoc work
$140/hr
Changes, new pages, or anything outside a project. Billed by the hour as you need it.
Payment
50 / 50
A 50% deposit books your spot. The balance is due on launch. Simple and fair.
Ownership
100%
Every file is yours. Move it, modify it, host it wherever you like. No lock-in, ever.
Pick a look
Not sure what you want? Start here.
Every business has a different feel. Before we build, I can show you a menu of directions so you can point at the one that is you. Here are three of them.

I design and build websites for trades, small businesses, and anyone whose online presence does not yet match the quality of their actual work. I work directly with the owner, no account managers in between.
The brief I set myself on every project: bold presence, genuinely useful features, and a site you own outright. Something that earns trust on sight and never makes a customer work for what they need.
I design it, write the copy, build every interactive feature, and handle the SEO from scratch. I keep my list short so each project gets real attention rather than being pushed through a template.
