Townsville & North Queensland
See your new website working, before you pay for it.
Most web designers ask for a deposit before you've built anything real. I build you a free working concept first. If you like it, we agree a fixed price and timeline and get started. If you don't, you've lost nothing.
Dealing with me directly, backed by a small, hands-on team.
I offer affordable web design services for Townsville businesses: custom builds that look professional, load fast, and are built to be found on Google. I'm Aaron Knight, a web designer and developer with over 13 years of experience building custom websites for Australian businesses. You'll be dealing with me directly, backed by a small, hands-on team.
A mobile vehicle repair business came to me wanting more leads without spending more to get them. Here's what 12 months of combining the website, SEO, and ad targeting properly did:
That's what happens when your website, your SEO, and your ads are built in one place, by people who understand how all three connect, not three different vendors who've never spoken to each other.
Most people get three quotes and a pile of promises. You get a working draft of your actual site, then a fixed price and a fixed timeline.
From the first conversation to the final handover, I'm your point of contact. The small team behind me handles the depth a project needs, without you ever losing that direct line.
The free working concept means you're judging a real draft of your actual site, not a mood board or a sales pitch.
Once we agree a price and a start date, the only thing that moves it is feedback taking longer than 48 hours on your end.
Townsville's economy runs on industries that demand trust: trades, healthcare, hospitality, construction, mining services, and professional services all compete for the same local customers. For businesses in North Queensland, a professional website isn't a luxury. It's the first impression most potential customers will have of you.
Design, build, search and ads handled together, so every page is built with the next enquiry in mind.
Every website I build is designed from scratch around your business and your customers. No off-the-shelf templates, just clean, professional design, graphic design, and brand identity work that reflects your business and works hard to convert visitors, whether you need a service-based website or a full online store. Where photography matters, I use real images of your business rather than generic stock photography. It builds far more trust with local customers than a stock photo everyone's seen before.
Most of my websites are built on WordPress, a flexible content management platform that's easy to manage once the site is live. You won't need a developer for routine content updates or a new business page.
Every website I build is SEO-ready from day one: clean code, fast load speeds, proper site structure, and keyword targeting relevant to your target audience. Getting found in search engines starts during the build, not after launch. Every site includes SSL security as standard, which supports both customer trust and search rankings. Analytics are set up to track what actually matters: enquiries and conversions, not just page views.
For Townsville businesses that need leads quickly, I build and manage Google Ads campaigns. Search-only, targeted, with conversion tracking in place from the start.
From AI chatbots and automated customer service to workflow automation, I help Townsville businesses use AI practically, saving time and building smarter processes around their existing tools. If you're not sure where to start, I offer consulting to identify where AI will deliver real value for your business specifically.
Selling online? I build ecommerce websites on Shopify and WooCommerce: mobile-first, conversion-optimised, and built to handle growth as your new business or existing store scales.
I offer reliable Australian-based web hosting alongside ongoing support packages that cover security updates, plugin updates, performance monitoring, and regular backups after the standard 30-day post-launch support period ends.
North Queensland has its own pace, its own industries, and its own market. Whether you're in the CBD along Flinders Street, operating out of Kirwan or Aitkenvale, or running a trade or services business across the broader region, your website needs to speak to local customers first.
Here's what I focus on for every Townsville web design project:
More than 70% of Australian web traffic comes from mobile devices. Every site I build is designed mobile-first, so your Townsville customers get a great experience regardless of whether they find you on a mobile phone or desktop.
Ranking in search results takes proper site structure and keyword targeting from the start, not something bolted on afterward once the site is already live.
A site that's genuinely easy to navigate, with clear content, visible contact details, and no second-guessing where to click next, converts far better than one that just looks good. For local businesses, a Google Maps embed on the contact page is a simple, effective way to build immediate trust with nearby customers.
I've built websites and run campaigns for businesses including Eden Brae Homes, Champion Homes, Deicorp, NSW Government, and Macquarie University, alongside 13+ years working with businesses across Australia and overseas.

Artificial intelligence is no longer a tool reserved for large enterprises. Businesses of all sizes are now using AI to automate repetitive tasks, improve customer experience, and make better decisions with the data they already have. For Townsville businesses looking to stay competitive now and into the future, AI integration is becoming as foundational as having a website in the first place.
I offer AI development and integration services designed for small and medium-sized businesses: practical, results-focused implementations that solve real problems rather than technology for its own sake.
A well-built AI chatbot handles routine customer enquiries around the clock: answering common questions, qualifying leads, booking appointments, and routing complex queries to the right person. For Townsville businesses that receive high volumes of repetitive enquiries, this frees up significant time while improving response times for customers. I design and build chatbots that are trained on your business, your services, and your customer language, not generic out-of-the-box tools that feel impersonal.
Manual, repetitive processes are one of the biggest drains on time in any small business. I build AI-powered automation tools that connect your existing platforms and handle routine tasks automatically. From lead follow-up sequences to data processing and reporting, the right automation can give you hours back every week.
Not sure where AI fits in your business, or whether it's worth investing in? I offer consulting for Townsville businesses at the early stages of exploring AI: helping you identify where automation and AI tools will deliver real value, which platforms and approaches make sense for your size and budget, and how to implement them without disrupting what's already working. The goal is always practical ROI, not complexity for its own sake.
AI tools work best when they're built on a solid digital foundation: a fast, well-structured website, clean data, and clear business processes. I take an integrated approach. The websites I build are designed from the start to support AI and automation layers where they make sense, so you're not trying to retrofit new tools onto a poorly built platform.
Most projects fall in the $4,000 to $25,000 range. You'll get a clear quote upfront: no hidden costs, no scope creep surprises.
No account managers or junior developers. I lead the strategy, design, and build, with a small, hands-on team supporting the depth a larger project needs.
I work with you throughout the process. Your input shapes the design at every stage. If something isn't right, we fix it.
Every website is cross-browser and cross-device tested before launch, so it looks and works correctly whether your customer is on an iPhone, an Android, or a desktop.
More than 70% of Australian web traffic comes from mobile devices. Every site I build is designed mobile-first, so your Townsville customers get a great experience regardless of how they find you.
Six steps from first conversation to a site you can run yourself. The free concept sits right at the start, so you see the direction before you commit.
We start with a conversation about your business, your customers, and what you want your website to achieve.
We agree on the scope, sitemap, timeline, and platform before any design work begins.
I create layouts and visual designs tailored to your brand, with your input throughout.
The site is built, tested, and optimised for performance and search engines.
Your site goes live with Google Analytics and Search Console connected from day one.
30 days of post-launch support is included as standard.
I work across a range of platforms and technologies, recommending the right solution for each project:
Townsville's economy is built around industries I know well. I've built websites for businesses across:
Most projects fall in the $4,000 to $25,000 range depending on scope and complexity. A straightforward business website sits toward the lower end. Ecommerce builds or sites with custom functionality sit higher.
I build a real, working draft of your website before you pay anything. If you like it, we agree a fixed price and timeline and get started. If you don't, there's no obligation at all.
Yes. My Townsville pricing reflects the regional market: most projects fall toward the lower end of my standard $4,000 to $25,000 range, with the same transparent, itemised quoting process I use everywhere. Affordable doesn't mean a stripped-down build. You still get a custom site, proper SEO foundations, and post-launch support.
A standard business website typically takes four to six weeks from briefing to launch. More complex projects (ecommerce builds or custom integrations) take longer.
Most clients provide their own content. If you need help with copy or photography, I can bring in specialists as part of the project.
Yes. Every website I build is developed mobile-first and tested across multiple devices and screen sizes before launch.
Yes. I build most websites on WordPress, which is straightforward to manage without technical knowledge. I'll walk you through it at handover.
Yes. 30 days of post-launch support is included as standard. Beyond that, ongoing support packages cover security updates, plugin updates, performance monitoring, and backups.
Yes. I work with businesses across Australia, including Townsville and North Queensland broadly. The process works well remotely over phone, email, or Zoom.
For many businesses, yes, particularly if you're spending significant time on repetitive customer enquiries or manual admin. I offer an initial consulting conversation to work through that question before any commitment is made.
Look for a designer with a diverse portfolio of completed work, a clear process, and transparent pricing. Ask to see examples relevant to your industry. Responsiveness and clarity during the initial conversation is usually a reliable sign of how the project itself will run.
It's a common framework used in web design to check that a site covers the basics: Content, Consistency, Customisation, Convenience, Connectivity, Community, and Communication. It's a useful checklist rather than a rigid rulebook. The specifics matter more than ticking every box.
Every project starts with a 50% deposit and a set number of included revisions. You don't pay the final balance until you're genuinely happy with it. I keep working with you until we get there.
From Bondi to Bali to Port Moresby, working with businesses all across Australia and around the globe.
