Based in Essendon, building websites for local businesses
Essendon isn't just one of the suburbs I cover. It's where I live and work, at 32 Richardson Street. When you hire me, you're hiring someone who knows the area, from the shops along Mt Alexander Road and Keilor Road to the businesses around Puckle Street in Moonee Ponds and Union Road in Ascot Vale.
A lot of Essendon businesses have been around for years and have a good local reputation, but their website hasn't kept up. It was built a decade ago, it's hard to use on a phone, or nobody knows how to update it. That's the work I do most: rebuilding a site so it reflects the business you are now and brings in enquiries.
I've been designing websites for more than ten years, mostly on WordPress, for service businesses like consultants, therapists, dentists, lawyers and gyms. Every site includes three months of free support after launch, and because I'm local, I'm easy to reach when you need something.
