About me
Hey I'm Sam, an independent website designer from Perth
When I'm not glued to my computer screen, I'll be skateboarding, kiteboarding, trying to beat someone at pool (billiards) who definitely plays more than I do, or planning my next travel adventure. In the summertime you'll find me skateboarding in Perth, but during the colder months I'll be kiting somewhere in Asia or Europe!
Tools I like to work with
I work with a variety of other plugins, widgets and frameworks. These include (but are definitely not limited to) ACF, SEOPress, Finsweet, Happy Files, EWWW, Automatic CSS and the BEM methodology. Happy to nerd out and talk all things tech with you, or else I can translate the tech jargon into plain English and just build the website you need.
FAQs
How long does it take to build a website?
This depends on the project size and complexity, but most websites take between 4 to 8 weeks from start to finish. Templates are on the shorter end, and custom websites may take even longer than this depending on the size. I’ll always give you an estimation upfront and continuous updates on progress.
How much will my website cost?
Pricing varies depending on your needs, features, and design complexity. I offer custom quotes after understanding your goals, you can book a discovery call to start this process. I have also listed base rates on my pricing page.
Can I update my website myself once it’s built?
This is something we talk about in a discovery call, but the short answer is absolutely! How much control you would like will also determine what I build the website with, so it’s always good to book a call when you’re ready to chat.
Do you provide hosting and ongoing support?
Yes! I offer premium Wordpress hosting and maintenance packages to keep your website secure, up-to-date, and running smoothly — no headaches for you. You can head over to my pricing page for more information on this.
Do you offer copywriting?
Yes! I work with an amazing copywriter who specialises in conversion-focused writing and strategic brand messaging. Instead of juggling two separate contractors, you get a cohesive team that ensures your visuals and message are perfectly aligned from day one! I’m also happy for you to provide your own copy if you’d like it to come from your end.
Can you help with SEO (search engine optimisation)?
I implement basic SEO best practices during development, like on-page SEO, clean code and all the right tags. For more advanced SEO, I can recommend a specialist or help coordinate with your marketing team.
Do you use AI?
Yes! I use AI tools to support and speed up parts of my workflow. This can include site-mapping, content planning, design research, and generating ideas. It helps me work more efficiently and stay focused on the creative, strategic parts of your website. However, everything I produce is completely tailored to you and your business and you definitely won’t catch me using tools like GoDaddy’s or Wix’s AI builders. Eww.
Do you use subcontractors?
My commitment to you is to deliver the best possible website within your budget, that meets your requirements and—most importantly—your expectations. To do this, I occasionally rely on a close network of exceptionally talented independent providers like myself. I manage all of this internally, with no extra cost or time commitment from yourself. Your input stays the same, but my output increases to meet the objectives.What platforms do you work with?
I specialise in Bricks Builder (Wordpress) and Webflow. These are professional tools that respect web standards and produce clean, maintainable and accessible code. Unlike beginner platforms that teach proprietary systems, these give me complete control to build custom solutions with proper HTML, CSS, and JavaScript while maintaining efficient visual workflows.
These platforms give me direct access to clean, semantic code, so I can build sites that are truly scalable and maintainable. The result is professional-grade work that performs like it should!
What’s the difference between working with you vs. a big agency?
Not all agencies (but most!), have massive overheads and inefficiencies that you end up paying for out of your own pocket. There’s only one of me – which means I’m a lot more responsive, work faster, and can offer a higher level of transparency and knowledge than your average customer service rep.
If you find yourself getting sick of endless meetings, hidden fees, and getting passed from one person to the next like you’re just another number, maybe we should work together.
