Hi, I'm Duncan, a Townsville web designer
New, Rebuilt or Simply Fixed Websites for Small Businesses
I offer web design in Townsville for small businesses — tradies, cafés, hairdressers, clinics and local shops. I build practical, cost-effective websites that help customers find you, understand what you do, and get in touch.
No agency prices. No sales team. You deal directly with me — whether you need a brand-new website, a rebuild of an old one, or just a few sensible fixes.
Every website is free to build. Hosting and care is $59/month for the first 10 businesses, then $100/month. No lock-in contract, cancel any time, and the website is yours after 12 months. See the founding offer

What's Wrong With Your Website?
Start with the problem you're seeing. These guides explain what may be happening, what you can check yourself, and when professional help may be useful.
Not showing up on Google
Find out whether the page is undiscovered, unindexed, blocked or simply ranking too low.
Website feels slow
Check the most common causes before deciding whether the whole site needs rebuilding.
Getting visitors but no enquiries
Work out whether the problem is traffic quality, trust, page clarity, contact friction or tracking.
Not sure whether to rebuild
Understand when an existing website can be fixed and when replacement makes more sense.
Wondering about AI search
See what helps ChatGPT, Gemini and other systems understand a website — without AI SEO hype.
Website used to rank, now disappeared
Check whether the page was deindexed, redirected, canonicalised elsewhere, or simply lost rankings.
Three Ways I Can Help
Every small business is different. Whether you're a tradie, a hairdresser, a café owner or a local professional, I keep it simple: a new website, a rebuild of an old one, or just the fixes that matter. See more about Townsville Web Design for small businesses.
New Website
Starting from scratch? I'll build a straightforward, professional website that makes it easy for customers to find you, understand what you do, and get in touch.
Website Rebuild
Old, slow or confusing? I'll rebuild it on a modern foundation — keeping what already works and fixing what doesn't, for a fraction of the cost of starting over.
Website Fixes
Already doing okay? Sometimes a website just needs a few sensible fixes, not a full rebuild. If that's you, I'll tell you.
Why Fix Before You Replace?
A full rebuild is expensive, time-consuming, and often unnecessary. Most business websites have a solid foundation — they just need modernising, not replacing.
My approach preserves what's already working, saves you money, and delivers a professional, up-to-date site in a fraction of the time.
I focus on the improvements that actually matter: mobile responsiveness, clearer messaging, faster load times, and stronger security.
Stuck With a Slow WordPress Site?
If you're stuck with a slow WordPress site, you're not alone. Plenty of Townsville business owners find WordPress maintenance a headache, with constant plugin updates, security patches and things breaking.
Whether you're on an outdated WordPress site or weighing up a website builder, there's a simpler option: I take your current site and turn it into a fast, mobile-friendly, modern website, fully managed for a flat monthly fee.
Tired of a slow WordPress site? See why Townsville businesses are switching to a simpler, more affordable revival.
Sites I've Built and Run Myself
I don't just build websites for other people — I build and run these ones myself, so I know first-hand what actually works.
