Selected work

Websites doing real work.

A few we've built, and still look after.

valleys

Valleys Business Network · Membership platform

A region's businesses, connected.

The Clare and Gilbert Valleys business community needed to connect local operators with visitors without burdening a volunteer committee. We built a tiered membership platform: a free Associate tier plus a $115/year Full Membership, with a searchable business directory, self managed member dashboards, and a filterable "What's On Offer" feed. Members update their own listings and offers with no coding.

miss gracie

Miss Gracie Taylor's Preloved Books · Bookstore

The busywork, automated.

Miss Gracie Taylor's Preloved Books wanted to take their physical bookstore online while keeping its character. We built a WooCommerce store with a rich genre and subgenre category system, plus photography and copywriting. The design uses texture, depth and classic typography to mirror the in store feel, letting locals check stock and distant buyers browse the collection.

nshield

N-Shield · Agriculture

Calculators that win customers.

N-Shield needed to explain complex nitrogen stabiliser science to farmers and agronomists, and prove the product's value. We built an agricultural site with technical copywriting, brand photography and two custom calculators running natively in WordPress: a Profit and Timing Calculator and a Sustainability Calculator that turns agronomic data into carbon and efficiency metrics. The calculators became a key conversion driver.

miners inn

The Miners Inn · Accommodation

Direct bookings, zero commission.

The Miners Inn owners wanted direct bookings instead of paying commission to third party platforms. We built a clean one page site with on site photography and a smart availability calendar backed by a custom admin. Owners log in to block or open dates, the calendar updates live for guests, and bookings now come direct without the usual back and forth.

maple and pine

Maple and Pine · Weddings & events

A forest wedding venue, online.

Maple and Pine, a forest wedding venue in the Southern Flinders Ranges, was losing ground to established Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills venues. We built a custom site with clear pricing, a custom availability calendar, a WooCommerce hire shop, and a supplier directory managed from a spreadsheet with front end filtering. It reframes the remote location as an advantage and cuts admin work.

on the plains cafe

On The Plains Cafe · Hospitality

Great food, front and centre.

Nellie needed a professional site for her cafe on Harley Street in Blyth that matched her existing catering brand. We built a photography led site with menu pages and location details, using on site brand photography to let the food do the talking. It aligns visually with the On The Plains Grazing and Catering site, with online ordering planned.

bukirk

Bukirk Glamping · Accommodation

Bookings made beautiful.

Bukirk needed to cut manual booking admin and present their accommodation as it feels on site. We rebuilt the site with Lodgify integration for automatic availability, pricing and booking sync, plus professional photography and video of the glamping tents, luxury cabins and rural setting. The site now handles bookings directly and is described as Bukirk's most valuable marketing tool.

clare high school

Clare High School · Education

School and community, together.

Clare High School needed a central communication hub that staff could manage without technical skills. We built a custom WordPress site where staff and subject information populates dynamically from the backend, so one update flows site wide. It includes flexible layouts for news, key dates and galleries, plus video banners and subtle motion, giving staff full control over a cohesive, local presence.

strinova

Strinova · Research & innovation

A startup that reads as international.

Strinova, a new Australian chemical research company, needed a site that looked established from day one. We handled strategy, positioning, copywriting and original brand photography, with a custom design highlighting its direct access model and industry pages for Agriculture, Product Handling and Industrial Applications. The result projects international credibility rather than startup status.

blyth primary

Blyth Primary School · Education

A school site that just works.

Blyth Primary School, a small country school, needed a welcoming site that staff could manage and that gave families secure access. We built a lightweight WordPress site with a staff backend for updating news, events and dates, plus a password protected parent portal for image galleries and documents. Custom on site photography captures the school's identity, and the site is fast and secure.

red hot shot coffee

Red Hot Shot Coffee · Coffee

Warmth and precision, online.

Red Hot Shot Coffee, Leanne's specialty coffee van, needed a site conveying premium craft, mobility and consistency. We created a custom site with copywriting in her authentic voice, high quality brand photography of the setup and equipment, and a design emphasising the clean, small batch focus. Enquiries now come from customers who understand the value, improving lead quality.

sevenhill heritage trail

Sevenhill Heritage Trail · Tourism

A digital companion for a historic walk.

Sevenhill Cellars wanted visitors to self guide their heritage trail with context delivered at each stop. We built a mobile first web app with stop by stop, story led copy, photos and video, plus an embedded map with real time location tracking that highlights the next point of interest. Pages load fast in sunlight and poor reception, so visitors get context on the path, not back at the cellar door.

on the plains grazing

On The Plains Grazing and Catering · Catering

Built with big heart.

This Clare Valley catering business needed a professional site that kept its approachable personality while showcasing grazing tables and catering. We built an image led site with brand photography, sample menu browsing, an event gallery and enquiry forms, plus WooCommerce and a backend the team can update themselves. It supports consistent bookings and showcases their reputation.

croc

Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruises · Tourism

Clicks that finally convert.

Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruises had paid traffic but weak conversion in a market with two rival operators. We rebuilt the site with SEO, a conversion focused structure, and brand messaging around safety and Indigenous ownership, aligned with the paid ad funnel. Revenue per active user rose 40%, bounce rate fell from ~50% to ~30%, and off season revenue reached peak season levels.
