What I do

Everything I build, in one place.

Four areas of work: the website and brand your customers see, the systems running behind them, and the training to keep it all in your own hands. Most jobs end up shaped around one business, so treat this as the menu rather than the map.

01

Websites & online stores

Designed and built from scratch around your business, easy to use on a phone, and yours outright when it's done.

  • Custom websites

    Fast, sharp on a phone, and built for the trade you're in rather than adapted from a template.

  • Shopify stores & storefronts

    Products, payments, delivery rules and stock wired up properly from day one.

  • Website redesigns

    Keep what works, rebuild what doesn't. The address stays, the wince goes.

  • Booking & enquiry flows

    Live availability, the right details collected, and a confirmation sent without the back-and-forth.

  • Website & product copy

    Page text and product descriptions written to bring in work, not to fill space.

  • Bulk catalogue & price management

02

Automation & custom software

Complete pipelines, not party tricks: systems that take a job from start to finish. Nothing runs blind, and every pipeline keeps a human checkpoint where it matters.

See how a four-person electrical team takes one enquiry from a texted photo to a booked job. Follow the Brightside workflow

  • Document & report drafting

    notes or dictationyour templatedraftyour review
  • Private knowledge assistant

    Ask your own files and get answers with sources. Runs entirely on your own hardware when the data can't leave the building.

  • Custom apps & system connections

    For when the tool you need doesn't exist, or the store, the spreadsheet and the calendar don't talk to each other.

Bigger machines, same thinking. Volume document processing, company-wide search with role-based permissions, and finding the real bottleneck before automating it. Ask if that's your scale.

03

Brand, imagery & findability

One look that holds up everywhere your business shows its face, and a business that is easy to find when someone goes looking.

See one complete brand carried through a storefront, product imagery and everyday customer touchpoints. Explore Salt & Wick

  • Logo & visual identity

    New or a refresh. Colours and type that feel like your place and survive being printed on a ute.

  • Business materials

    Invoices, quotes, signage and socials that finally look like one business made them.

  • Product photography

    Studio-grade shots that start from a real photo of the real product. Only the world around it changes.

  • Google Business Profile & local search

    Complete and current, answering for you when someone searches your trade plus your town.

  • Google Shopping & Merchant Center

    Your products in the shopping tab, with prices and stock that are actually correct.

  • Social content in your voice

    Posts and visuals made in batches, on brand, so the feed stays alive while you work.

04

Training & advice

I don't want you dependent on me for every little thing. You drive, I hand over the keys properly.

See how private client documents take different paths while a person still reviews every client-facing decision. Explore Ledger & Co

  • Hands-on sessions in plain English

    For you and your team, on the tools you'll actually use. No slides about the future of work.

  • What's safe to share with AI

    Clear working rules for your team about what goes in, what needs care, and what never leaves the building.

  • Tool & subscription advice

    Which subscriptions earn their keep, which free tools do the job, and which shiny things to ignore this year.

  • Documentation & handover

    Written in normal sentences, so your team can operate and maintain the setup without relying on memory.

How it works
1

We have a chat

Thirty minutes, free, arranged directly with me. I'll say it honestly if I'm not the right fit.

2

You get a plan and a price

One page, plain words, a fixed number before anything starts.

3

I build, you approve, it ships

You see progress as it happens. Afterwards I stay reachable.

Can't see your problem up there?

That's normal, most jobs start that way. Bring it along, leave the diagnosis to me.
