01About

Nice to meet you

I enjoy working with clients and partners, helping them get the most out of their technology – be it online web applications, software solutions, or mobile devices.

I thoroughly research and then share my insights, always making sure to only commit to what I can truly deliver. This approach reflects my steadfast dedication to maintaining a professional yet warm work ethic.

Every person and their respective enterprise has distinct technological needs, aspirations, and personalities.

I am grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse range of individuals and roles.

Despite facing demanding circumstances, I have experienced the benefits of persevering through difficulties to uncover the right solutions.

Maxwell Services
A new site for a Gold Coast and Brisbane property care business, bringing gutter, window, pressure, solar panel and interior cleaning together under one brand. Built in WordPress with the Etch visual builder, and served as a fast static site.
Spotless Reflections
A specialist window cleaning business on the northern Gold Coast needed a site to showcase high-reach, glass balustrade and pool fence work to apartment and home owners. Built with Bricks Builder in WordPress and delivered as a lightweight static site.
Michelle Keighley Art
Original artworks in modern styles are the hallmark of Michelle’s works, and the website needed to showcase them and offer them for sale. The ecommerce solution is Ecwid embedded in WordPress using Elementor for the layout framework.
Club Elite Travel
Classic Holidays needed a platform framework which allowed them to quickly create small sites under the Club Elite brand for marketing campaigns and limited offers, which was achieved with a WordPress Multisite Network.
Atlas Wealth Management
Another WordPress Multisite Network project which allowed regional versions of the website with a common design language, but unique content specific to the region and language.
Balance Business Bookkeeping
Replacement of the previous site, built using the WordPress block editor and minimal plugins to keep it light on its feet, while appealing to the target market.
Saying Thank You
A donations system and veteran acknowledgement wall where people could leave their messages of thanks and support to Australian veterans.
White-label work
Not all recent work is listed here, as much of my freelance, contract and agency work has been performed under white-label terms.
