My Story
Always Learning
I started building websites in a different era. Web designers were extremely well paid, and if you could be one of the first to launch a website in your niche, it was almost guaranteed to succeed. A lot has changed since then. Luckily for me, I like learning new things and staying ahead of my game. The trick is to work out what’s new and anticipate what will actually stick around.
In my time as a web designer, I've built more than 280 websites. Small businesses, trades, health practices, professional services, e-commerce. I've worn every hat: graphic designer, web designer, developer, hosting manager. I understand how the whole stack fits together. The design, the code, the web hosting, the SEO, the conversion. Not because I dabbled in each one, but because for over 18 years it's been my job to make all of them work together for a client who just wants their phone to ring.

The Business
Redfox Web Design is small and happy to stay that way
Streamlined Services
I prefer to keep design, development, hosting, SEO, and maintenance all under the same roof. Nothing gets lost between specialists because there are no handoffs.
One number to call
When something needs attention, you call me. Not a help desk. Not a ticket system. The person who built your site picks up.
Small by choice
I've kept it this way because it works. For clients and for me. The work is better when one person is accountable for all of it.
Who I work with
A large range of clients from diverse sectors
I have worked with all different types of businesses
I work with small businesses mostly, but the range is wider than that. Tradesman, lawyers, veterinary clinics, demolition companies, garden nurseries, therapists, training providers, houseboat hire. If you need a website that actually does something for your business, Redfox is probably a good fit.
Straight talk only here
No BS. I'd rather tell you a job is out of scope than take it on and do it poorly. I'll give you options and explain the advantages vs cost. I'd rather talk down what you need than talk it up to win the quote. It's not a great trait in a salesperson. It works well for clients.

Location
Where I am based
Tweed Heads, right on the NSW and Queensland border. It’s an interesting spot to run a web design business. Half my clients are technically in Queensland, half in New South Wales, and a good number are further afield on the Gold Coast or down through the Northern Rivers.
Most of the work happens remotely, so distance has never been much of an issue. But if you're local and want to sit down over a coffee, that works too.
