Automotive web design. Compete on trust, not just price.

We learn what makes your workshop different, from your specialisations and standards to your local reputation, then build something that earns trust at first glance.

We understand what makes your workshop different.

Independent mechanics don't win on advertising budgets. You win on trust, expertise, and the kind of personal service a franchise can never offer. Our job is to make sure that comes through online.

Before we design anything, we learn about your workshop: your specialisations, the types of work you're most proud of, the customers you serve best, and how you've built your reputation in the community. That's what shapes the content, the structure, and the tone of everything we create.

When a potential customer is comparing options, your site won't feel like every other mechanic's page. It'll feel like walking into your workshop: competent, trustworthy, and a cut above the alternatives.

Straight talk, real results.

You're running a workshop, not a marketing department. Our process is built for people who want a great outcome without the runaround. We learn your business, present clear recommendations, and get on with building something that works.

Specialisations

Whether it's 4WD servicing, auto electrical, performance tuning, or fleet work, we learn what you do best and structure your site so those strengths attract the right customers.

Trust upfront

We draw out your credibility markers, including licences, certifications, years in business, brand affiliations, and community involvement, then position them where they'll help a customer choose you.

Right enquiries

By understanding how you prefer to handle new work, whether phone calls, online bookings, or quote requests, we design the contact experience to suit your workshop.

Services

We work through your full service offering and structure it so customers can find exactly what they need, presented in the language your customers actually use.

Local edge

Franchise chains can't replicate your community roots, your personalised service, or your local knowledge. We make sure those advantages are front and centre where they matter most.

Contact flow

Click-to-call, service booking forms, or simple enquiry pages: we design the contact experience around how you actually want to take on new customers.

Our process.

Enquire

Project discussion and brief

We book an initial chat to understand your business, your goals, and what you need. You can book yours in here. We'll talk through your project requirements, determine the right scope, and identify the package that makes sense for you and your business.

That first conversation is about your business as much as your website: what you sell, who you sell it to, and how enquiries reach you now. It usually takes an hour or so, by phone or video call. From there we put the scope, the package that fits and the full schedule in writing, so you know exactly what you're agreeing to before anything starts.

Discovery and planning

We research your industry, your competitors, and your audience, and prepare a project plan with a sitemap, content strategy, and design direction.

Discovery is where we learn about the work you do and the work you'd like to do more of, the customers you serve best, and where competitors have left gaps you can fill. This step regularly turns up strengths that clients have never thought to put on their website. The plan that comes out of it, the sitemap, the content for each page and the design direction, influences all later decisions.

Design, refinement and build

We design your website around everything we've learned about your business, then refine the design and content with your feedback until every page reads and works the way it should. Then we build the site that's right for your business.

You see the design before it's built, and every page goes through a review round where your feedback shapes the next draft. If you'd rather not write the words yourself, we write them in your voice from what we learned in discovery. Most builds run 1 to 3 months, and the biggest factor in the timeline is having the content ready.

Care and management

Your site goes live on one of our highly refined, managed hosting environments with a dedicated management plan to cover everything your website needs: hosting, security, updates, monitoring, backups and support from our team.

Your first twelve months of hosting and management are included with your build. Behind the scenes, updates are applied on a regular schedule, backups run automatically, forms and search are watched, and uptime is checked around the clock. Changes are an email away, usually made the same day, and a short plain-English report lands in your inbox each month.

Grow with content and strategy

Our ongoing SEO and content services keep your site evolving with strategy reviews, search data, and real performance insights. We deliver new content, optimised pages, and actionable recommendations that build momentum over time.

Each month starts with where things stand: rankings, competitor activity and how visitors use the site. We turn that into a short, prioritised plan you approve before we begin, then do the work, whether that's new content, technical fixes or user experience improvements, and report back in plain language tied to your goals.

Why choose us as your web design agency?

Imagine having a team behind you that has real solutions to the challenges you don't even know you have yet.

Security

Layered protection tailored to the build. May include more secure hosting, a web application firewall, malware and file-integrity scanning, forced SSL, MFA on every admin account, and off-server backups.
Speed

Pages that load quickly on any device. Depending on the site, we use caching, optimised images and a content delivery network, and keep an eye on load times after launch.
Hosting

Purpose-built servers with uptime monitoring, and reliable outbound email infrastructure where your site needs it.
Support

Direct access to the team building your site. No ticket queues, no offshore tiers, no account managers in between. Just real conversations with us.
Discovery

We learn your business, your customers, and your goals, then build around them. Understanding your background and how your business really works is what makes the difference to your website, and to the results it brings.
Care

Ongoing care is covered by our management plans. It can include software updates and security patches, backups, code reviews and testing, and checks for downtime, broken links and search issues.

A partner for the long run.

Launching your website is the start of our work together, not the end. Once you're live, our ongoing content and SEO partnership keeps your site growing. What we learn about your business and your customers informs every change and recommendation we make, improving your site month after month.

Common questions.

Most builds run 1 to 3 months, and a larger or more involved one can take longer. The single biggest factor is content, so projects move faster when the words and photos are ready, or when you hand that part to us.

If you are up against a deadline, ask. We can sometimes take on an urgent build with a 1 to 2 week turnaround, subject to scope and availability.
We work with you to set a budget for your project that makes sense for you and your business. You can choose from one of our existing build packages, engage in our partner program or request a custom quote.

We also offer 12 month payment plans on our new builds.

And our website hosting, support and management services are included free during your first 12 months with one of our build packages. Everything is quoted +gst, and the full schedule is agreed in writing before we start, so there are no surprises partway through.

Request Pricing
Yes, our website builds are paid for monthly over 12 months.

On most of our builds there is no dashboard and no login. You email the change and we make it, usually the same day. Most owners find that faster than doing it themselves, and it means nothing ever breaks. If you do need to publish your own content regularly, we build for that instead. It is one of the things we work out together early on.
Yes, and most clients take us up on it. Content is written in your voice and in the language your customers actually use, working from what we learn about your business during discovery. If you would rather write it yourself, we will give you a clear brief for every page and edit what comes back.
For many projects we handle graphic design work in-house, and for more specialised needs we collaborate with talented third-party designers. Where it makes sense, we can manage the design process for you and match the right approach to your project.
Once you're engaged with us, you'll have direct access to our email, where you can reach out anytime to ask questions, make requests, or schedule a meeting. You'll also be able to book time with us directly through our calendar.

We work primarily by email and pre-booked appointments so we can give every client thoughtful, timely, and considered responses without splitting our attention across the day.

Tell us about your workshop.

Every project starts with understanding your business. Let's have a conversation about what you've built and where you want to take it.

Request a chat, it's free

Chat with us, it's free

The first conversation costs nothing. If we are not the right studio for the job, we will tell you that.
No lock-in contracts

Our Working Together Agreement leaves you free to make the decisions that are right for you and your business.
A long term partner

We provide your website as a service. Changes are an email away, and you never need to think about servers, software updates or learning a content management system.
