Tweed Heads & the Northern Rivers
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'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, delivering professional web design services for Tweed Heads businesses: custom builds that are fast, well-structured, and designed to attract customers from both sides of the border.
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.
Tweed Heads sits at a unique crossroads: a northern NSW coastal town on the Tweed River that shares a border with Queensland and draws customers from across the Gold Coast, the broader Northern Rivers region, and the Tweed itself. It's a competitive market, shaped by tourism, hospitality, retail, and a growing professional services sector, where businesses need to be visible to both local and interstate customers searching online.
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 brand, your customers, and your goals. Whether you're a hospitality business drawing tourists from the Gold Coast, a trades business servicing the Tweed region, or a professional services firm competing with larger operators, a custom website gives you the platform to stand out and convert visitors into customers, without relying on generic templates.
Most of my websites are built on WordPress: flexible, reliable, and straightforward to manage once the site is live. You'll be able to update content, add pages, and manage your blog without needing to call a developer.
Every website I build is SEO-ready from day one: clean code, fast load speeds, proper site structure, and keyword targeting relevant to both the Tweed Heads and Gold Coast markets. Reaching customers on both sides of the border requires getting the local SEO foundations right from the start.
For Tweed Heads businesses that need to generate leads quickly, I build and manage Google Ads campaigns. Search-only, targeted to the right audience, with conversion tracking in place so you can see exactly what your spend is delivering.
From AI chatbots and automated customer service to workflow automation and platform integration, I help Tweed Heads businesses use AI practically, saving time, improving customer experience, 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 products online? I build ecommerce websites and online stores on Shopify and WooCommerce: mobile-first, conversion-optimised, and built to perform in search. Whether you're targeting local customers or selling nationally, I'll build a store that works.
I offer Australian-based hosting services on fast, reliable servers with SSL certificates, regular backups, and security monitoring. Secure hosting is the foundation everything else sits on.
Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support as standard. Ongoing website maintenance plans cover security updates, plugin updates, performance monitoring, and regular backups.
Tweed Heads businesses face a specific challenge: you're competing not just with other local operators, but with Gold Coast and Brisbane businesses that show up in the same search results.
A website without strong SEO foundations and a clear local focus puts you at an immediate disadvantage.
More than 70% of Australian web traffic comes from mobile devices. Every site I build is developed mobile-first: fast, clean, and easy to navigate on any screen.
Targeting customers across both the Tweed Heads and Gold Coast markets requires careful keyword mapping and page structure. I include keyword research with every project so your site is positioned correctly from launch.
Slow sites lose customers and rank lower in search. Every site I build is optimised for speed: clean code, optimised images, and reliable hosting.
Clear calls to action, intuitive navigation, and a structure that guides visitors toward getting in touch or making a purchase, built in from the start, not added later.
Australian-based hosting, SSL certificates, and regular backups are standard. A website that goes down or gets compromised costs you customers and reputation.
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 Tweed Heads businesses looking to stay competitive (particularly in tourism, hospitality, and retail, where customer enquiries can be high volume and repetitive), AI integration is an increasingly practical investment.
Handles routine enquiries around the clock, trained on your business rather than generic out-of-the-box tools.
Connects your existing platforms and handles routine tasks automatically, giving you hours back every week.
If you're not sure where AI fits, I offer consulting to identify real value before any commitment. 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.
You work with me throughout the entire project. No account managers, no handoffs. I lead the strategy, design, and build, with a small, hands-on team supporting the depth a larger project needs.
Most projects fall in the $4,000 to $25,000 range. You'll get a clear, honest quote after an initial conversation, with no figures that change once you're committed.
When the site is handed over, you own it outright: the WordPress installation, all accounts, all content and code. No lock-in, no ambiguity over who owns what.
Keyword research, SEO setup, Google Analytics, and Search Console are included with every project.
Every website is cross-browser and cross-device tested using Browserstack before launch, so it performs correctly for customers whether they're on a phone in Coolangatta or a desktop in Kingscliff.
30 days as standard, with ongoing maintenance plans available for businesses that want their site actively managed long-term.
Seven 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.
Understanding your business, your customers, and your goals before any design work begins.
Agreeing on scope, sitemap, timeline, and platform.
Creating layouts and visual designs that reflect your brand, with a first draft prepared for review before refinement.
Building the site, integrating required tools, and optimising for performance and SEO.
Cross-browser and cross-device testing before anything goes live.
Going live with Google Analytics and Search Console connected from day one.
30 days of post-launch support included as standard.
I work across a range of platforms and technologies, recommending the right solution for each project:
The Tweed Heads region spans a broad mix of industries:
Yes, and the sooner the better. Most customers start their search online, regardless of industry. For Tweed Heads businesses competing with Gold Coast operators, a strong website is one of the few tools that levels the playing field.
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.
Most projects fall in the $4,000 to $25,000 range depending on size and complexity. I'll give you a clear, itemised quote after an initial conversation.
It depends heavily on scope, but for a professional custom website in Australia, $4,000 to $25,000 is realistic for most small to medium businesses. Prices well below that typically mean a template build with limited support rather than something genuinely custom.
A standard business website typically takes four to six weeks from briefing to launch. Larger or more complex projects take longer.
Yes. I build most websites on WordPress, which is designed to be straightforward to manage without technical knowledge.
Yes. I offer Australian-based hosting on fast, secure servers with regular backups and security monitoring.
For many businesses, yes, particularly in tourism and hospitality where booking enquiries and follow-up sequences are time-consuming to manage manually.
Yes, more than ever. Businesses without a fast, professional website are increasingly invisible to customers actively searching for them.
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.
