Ruth Gledhill
A gallery and commission site for a working Bundaberg artist — clean presentation for original pieces, plus a built-in flow for pet portrait requests.
ruthgledhill.dreamhosters.comWe build new websites from scratch, and rework the ones that already exist, for small local businesses who want a site that actually looks and works like theirs.
Four things we're actually good at, instead of ten things we'd be faking.
We'll either design something new from a blank page, or rework the site you've already got. Either way, we start with what your business actually does, not a generic template, and build from there.
Every site is custom-built and accessible, not assembled from a page-builder template. That means faster load times, and pages that hold up whether someone's on fibre in town or patchy 4G out past Agnes Water.
Managed hosting, SSL, and domain setup. We keep your site live and your inboxes running, without you having to deal with cPanel.
After launch: performance checks, content updates, and small improvements based on how people actually use the site. Need your computers running smoothly too? We handle that as well.
A mix of our own proving grounds and real client builds — the honest measure of what we do.

Editorial · Environment
A clean editorial site for environmental information — our own proving ground for what considered, minimal web design can do. Fast pages, clear structure, nothing wasted.
enviro.org.auThe same five stages every time, so you always know what's next.
A working session to map your goals, audience, and what's worked (or hasn't) before. This sets the brief for everything after.
Layout and type direction first, then full page designs using your actual content from the first draft, not placeholder text.
The design becomes a real, working site: responsive, accessible, and tested on actual devices, not just a browser stretched full-width.
Everything moves to your domain. Redirects, forms, and analytics are checked before go-live, and we stay close for the first week after.
Once it's live, we keep an eye on performance and make small, considered improvements based on how people actually use it.
Both, about half and half. If your current site mostly works but looks dated or falls apart on phones, a rework is often faster and cheaper than starting again. If you don't have a site yet, we build one from scratch.
Most projects start at $500 AUD — that covers a complete site, delivered in 2–3 weeks. Scope beyond that (more pages, brand work, ongoing care) is quoted separately. Tell us what you need through the form below and we'll come back with a free, no-obligation estimate before any work starts.
Fair question. We're upfront that SunMan is new, but the people you talk to on day one are the same people building your site on the last day — no handing off to someone else. You can see one of our own builds at enviro.org.au.
Whatever you've already got is a good starting point — even if that's not much. We can help write copy and source images, but your own photos, menu, or logo will always make the site feel more like yours.
