Thinking about loved ones affected by the Coronavirus pandemic
The world will be quite different when we emerge from this. For now, we all need to stay home and minimise contact with others. Let’s give COVID-19 ZERO opportunity.
If you need to talk with an experienced web developer about your online presence or marketing, I’m now working from home (getting the place ready for my first child, “Charlie”). Look after yourselves, wash your hands and clean all surfaces. Vigilance and a Stoic attitude will get us through this.

Website Development, SEO & Marketing
“Hi. My name is Edwin. I manage Geoffrey. I’m a Website Developer, SEO & Online Marketing Freelancer. I work for myself and increasingly behind the scenes for larger web companies.”
At Geoffrey, we can do anything for your website and online presence. And we do it for a reasonable price. Because we are small, we can beat larger web agencies on price. We have clients all around Australia and we do all work right here in Australia. In some cases, we have halved Online Advertising budgets and brought in twice as many clients. It’s very rare that clients leave. The ones that do leave, always come back. let’s just say that others doen’t tend your garden like we do.
We do websites properly. We refuse to leave you with a beautiful looking website. You need traffic.;
We can do a custom website design to your exact specifications. While more expensive than theme-based websites, the extra time and commitment spent on unique functionality could be worth it. We can write HTML, CSS & Javascript or employ any of the modern frameworks. Working in Twitter’s Bootstrap 4+, Zurb’s Foundation 6, Bulma (based on flex-box) and new tiny CSS frameworks sometimes weighing in at less then 5Kb (perfect for site speed), we can achieve anything.
Tiny CSS frameworks are great for SEO (increased site speed) and if you don’t really need much unique functionality (or eCommerce) we can code up unique custom websites with budgets between $2,500 (very simple) to much larger sites with unique functionality.
It’s not enough to design your website and just leave it – to slowly lose traffic over time.
How old is PHP?
Most websites we take over are still running PHP5.4 (released in 2005 and no longer secure). A lot happens in 5 years. If you are using a WordPress theme, how old is it? In one year, theme developers can update 20 or even 30 times. Most updates are security updates.
How secure is your theme?
How far off the upgrade curve are you with your child theme? Extensive child theme work can render parent theme updates useless.
If you don’t have any idea what the above a paragraph means, and you don’t already have a website maintenance guy working on these things, your website will get hacked or might already be getting used as a mail server for spammers.
We update your existing website with freshly written content. Text and images. We can embed Youtube movies on your pages. If you create content yourself, even better – we can upload it to your current website and lay it out so that it looks fantastic. All you need to do is send us your content with attached images and we’ll get it up there. Even if you don’t have a CMS like WordPress.
We know code. We can add pretty much anything to your already existing website. If that’s looking long in the tooth, we can quote on a new one. Most people are surprised by our prices.
If your web agency has done a lot of work to your website, it’s not been in vain. We can recycle pretty much anything and add it to a new website – but with a refreshed and modern design. And at a very reasonable cost.
Old and new customers have already signed up for both our Monthly SEO & Website Maintenance packages. For around $200 per month, we can keep your website up to date and fix underlying code and tags on your website (and server) for best-chance SEO. Your traffic will increase steadily over the year. In some cases, we have quadrupled traffic – turning a slow and ailing business into a going-concern.
We will also fix general site health by removing bad in-bound links, fixing up robot.txt and .htaccess files / redirects and finally submitting your refreshed website to all the search engines.
Good keyword research means we re-write meta-tags to fit your market and what people are searching for. Light and inexpensive tweaking will quickly take your website from ho-hum to gung-ho! We promise to change the way you see your business.

Domain Names
In Australia, if you want a .com.au domain name, you have to provide your business registration info and evidence that you have traded or intend to trade. Read more
I have a website, but no technical backup.
If a site isn’t updated regularly, it’s a magnet for hackers. Plugins, themes, PHP and other technical tweaks need to be done at least monthly. Our A.I. Assistant alerts us to issues as they arise. Your website stays technically up to date, backed up and protected from hacking.

Edwin's efficient website setup and his advice on maintaining it have been very beneficial to my business. He has now done 3 websites for me. He has the ability to turn geekspeak into language us mere mortals can understand. Edwin is my go-to guy for SEO and Google adwords campaigns. Highly recommended.

Edwin was very extremely helpful when I requested a health check up of my Shopify store, including making over some of my page titles and headings and giving me excellent advice and encouragement on how to manage my blog and store for improved SEO. He was very prompt in responding to my enquiries and getting the job done.
