Andrew Farran · Web design · St Lucia, Brisbane
Slow craft. Fast sites. Trust built in.
I design and build websites for professional services firms, trades businesses, and academics in Brisbane. Before a pixel, I research your visitors, your competitors, and your sector. The site follows from that, not from a template and not from a guess.
Every site hits 100 on Lighthouse accessibility, loads in under a second, and is structured for search from the start. Static Astro on Cloudflare Pages: fast by default, inexpensive to run. No ecommerce. No animation-heavy work.
How it works
-
Research first
I map your clients, your competitors, and your market before I write a line of code. By the time the site is built, I know what earns trust in your specific context — and what your competitors are getting wrong.
-
Built to perform
Every site hits 100 on Lighthouse accessibility and near-perfect on performance and SEO. Static Astro, hosted on Cloudflare Pages: under a second to load, structured for search from the start, and inexpensive to run for the life of the business.
-
Honest about fit
I do not build ecommerce sites or animation-heavy work — and am probably not the right fit for photographers or games developers. If that is what you need, I will say so in the first conversation and point you somewhere better. If you need a serious website for a serious business, let's talk.
Who we work with
-
Tradespeople who want to be the first call, not the third quote.
-
Service businesses that need to look as good online as the work they actually do.
-
Academics and professionals who need a credible home for their work outside their employer's website.

The studio
A website is a trust document: before anyone reads a word, it has already told them whether you are worth doing business with.
Andrew Farran designs and builds websites from St Lucia, Brisbane. Hand-built, performance-first: no template assemblies dressed up as bespoke work. One project at a time, full attention from first conversation to launch.
Sites are built in static Astro, hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Fast by default, inexpensive to run, and yours to own.
