Freelance web design · Sydney

Websites for the people who do the actual work.

I design and build fast, good-looking sites for small businesses, tradies and freelancers across Australia. No bloated templates, no jargon, just a site that earns its place and brings the work in.

Fixed-price sites from $800 · No ongoing hosting costs · Most sites live in 2 to 3 weeks

Websites built for mobile

Most visitors will find you on their phone first. Here's what that looks like, shown true to size.

Try it · Tap a size

Every site I build adapts to whatever screen it lands on. Tap a size below, or drag the edge, and watch this one rebuild itself.

What you get

A proper website, without the agency price tag.

You get the design and the build, plus the unglamorous things that quietly decide whether people find you and stick around.

01

A design that's yours

Built around your business and the people you serve, not a template you'll spot on ten other sites around town.

02

Found on Google

Clean structure, fast loading and the SEO groundwork so the people already searching for you can actually land on your page.

03

Looks right on every phone

Most of your visitors are on mobile. Your site is designed for that thumb-first reality from the very start.

04

Yours to keep, no hosting bills

You own the site, the domain and the content, with no ongoing hosting costs. Want to update it yourself later? I'll show you how, in plain English.

Who I build for
Small businesses Tradies & trades Freelancers Local services Cafés & shops New brands finding their feet
Optional extras

Want more? Build it in.

Start with a site that does the job, then bolt on whatever your business actually needs. Pick the ones that fit, leave the rest.

Know what works

Analytics done right

See where your customers come from and what they do on your site, set up properly so the numbers actually mean something.

How it works

Three steps, no mystery.

1

We have a chat

You tell me about the business and what the site needs to do. I give you a fixed price and a timeline before anything starts.

2

I design and build

I send you a design to react to, then build the real thing. You see progress and have your say at each step, no surprises at the end.

3

We launch

I put it live, hand everything over, and walk you through how to keep it up to date. Then I'm around if you need me.

Recent work

A few sites I've put into the world.

Swap these for your own live links. Each one was built to do a job: get found, look the part, and turn a click into a call.

What clients say

Don't just take my word for it.

"Matthew was the first person who actually built the exact website I had in my head. I'd tried explaining it before and always ended up with something generic. He really listened to my feedback, was patient through every round of changes, and didn't stop until it was exactly right. I love the end result."

"Since launching our new website, we've had more traffic and more leads than our old site ever brought in. What's been just as good is the CMS — I can update our blog and content myself whenever I want, no code, no waiting on anyone. It's made keeping the site fresh actually easy."
