Web design and development in Ballarat.

Three areas, deliberately. Small scale means the work gets proper attention rather than being spread across a dozen offerings.

Design and build are one conversation here. You won't be handed from a designer to a developer halfway through.

01 — SurfaceWeb design

Website design & development

A site designed around what your customers actually came for — works on a phone, ranks locally, and doesn't need a developer every time you change your opening hours.

  • Custom website design for business, portfolio and brochure sites
  • Content management so you can edit pages yourself
  • Mobile-first layouts and accessibility basics done properly
  • Local SEO setup for Ballarat search, Google Business Profile and analytics
  • Domain, hosting and email configuration
  • Website redesign and rescue of sites that have been left to rot
02 — The washApps & tools

Apps & internal tools

Small custom software for the jobs your business does over and over by hand.

  • Booking, enquiry and intake systems
  • Quoting and pricing calculators
  • Job, stock and client tracking to replace fragile spreadsheets
  • Simple dashboards that pull your numbers into one place
  • Connecting the tools you already pay for so they talk to each other
  • Web apps that install on a phone without an app store
03 — BedrockConsulting

Consulting

Independent advice, with nothing to sell you at the end of it.

  • Scoping a project properly before you commit budget
  • Second opinion on a quote or proposal from another developer
  • Reviewing an existing site or system for performance and security gaps
  • Untangling domains, hosting and accounts after a handover
  • Choosing between building custom and buying off the shelf
  • Practical security and backup basics, explained without jargon
Good to know

Honest about scope.

Well suited to

Sole traders and small teams, community organisations, trades and services, professional practices, and anyone who has outgrown a social media page or a spreadsheet.

Not the right fit

Large enterprise platforms, marketplaces at scale, or anything needing a full-time team around the clock. If that's your project, I'll point you somewhere better rather than take the job.
