"Plenty of enquiries for new business."

I had my website designed by A1 Local and some Google advertising done. More than happy with the outcome. Website was great and had plenty of enquiries for new business.

"First page on Google."

Bob helped me make it to the first page on Google. He doesn't waste time on things that won't serve your business. Definitely recommend.

"Out of a very tight spot."

I've been working with these guys (Bob in particular) for more than a year. They helped us out of a very tight spot early in our business development and we've relied on their expertise since. Highly recommend.

"Five great years of quality service."

As a business coach, I refer my own clients to Bob for help establishing paid traffic — his media buying is industry best practice. Thanks for five great years of quality service to myself and many of my own clients.

"He's 'the Machine.'"

Bob's attention to detail and witty sense of humour makes the boring world of online marketing a delight rather than a chore. He's 'the Machine' — duty of care for his clients and methodical tactics are a credit to his profession.

The catch · there isn't one

Everyone else charges $4–10k upfront.
We don't.

A small monthly fee, all-in. Hosting, design, edits and support — sorted. Like a phone plan, but for your website.

12-month minimum to keep the lights on. After that, go month-to-month — or pay 24 months and own the code outright.

FAQ

Stuff
people ask.

Got a question that's not here? Flick us a message — no robots, real humans reply within one business day.

Is the free homepage concept really free?

Yep, properly free. No card, no commitment. We build it in about 48 hours and you're free to walk away with it. We do it because showing beats telling.

How much per month, really?

Plans are $99, $149 and $249 per month (+ GST). Every plan is all-in — hosting, edits, support, the lot. No surprise bills.

What's the 12-month minimum about?

We do real custom work upfront — no templates — so the 12 months lets us recoup the build cost. After that you can cancel anytime.

What happens if I cancel? Do I lose my site?

If you cancel before 24 months, the site comes down (it's our code on our hosting). Pay 24 months and the code is yours to keep, host wherever you like. Your domain and content are always yours either way.

Do I own the website or do you?

You own your domain, your content, and your brand from day one. We license the code to you for the term, then transfer it outright at the 24-month mark.

How long does the build take?

Usually 2–3 weeks from our kickoff chat to going live. The free homepage concept takes about 48 hours — that's separate.

What if I need more than the Growth plan?

We do custom builds too — e.g. complex booking, member areas, e-commerce. Talk to us and we'll quote a custom monthly fee.

Can I move my existing domain?

Yep, no worries. We'll handle the transfer or just point your existing domain at your new site. No downtime.

Still here?

Try yours for free.

Same deal as up top — drop your name and email and we'll build you a free homepage concept in about 48 hours. No card, no commitment. Yours to keep.

  • Real homepage, on a live link
  • ~48 hour turnaround
  • Yours to keep — even if you walk away
P.S. The free homepage concept is properly free. You see your site, you decide. No card, no pressure — never had one, never will.
