Finally, a site
that feels like
yours.

We 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.

What we do

Four things we're actually good at, instead of ten things we'd be faking.

01

Design

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.

02

Development

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.

03

Hosting & Email

Managed hosting, SSL, and domain setup. We keep your site live and your inboxes running, without you having to deal with cPanel.

04

Care & growth

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.

Work

Selected work

A mix of our own proving grounds and real client builds — the honest measure of what we do.

Enviro

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.

Process

How a project runs

The same five stages every time, so you always know what's next.

Days 1–2

Discover

A working session to map your goals, audience, and what's worked (or hasn't) before. This sets the brief for everything after.

Days 3–7

Design

Layout and type direction first, then full page designs using your actual content from the first draft, not placeholder text.

Week 2

Build

The design becomes a real, working site: responsive, accessible, and tested on actual devices, not just a browser stretched full-width.

Week 3

Launch

Everything moves to your domain. Redirects, forms, and analytics are checked before go-live, and we stay close for the first week after.

Ongoing

Grow

Once it's live, we keep an eye on performance and make small, considered improvements based on how people actually use it.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you only build new sites, or can you fix up what we've already got?

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.

What does it cost?

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.

You're a new studio — how do we know you'll deliver?

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.

Do we need to provide photos, text and a logo?

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.
