Daniel Stratton

Websites and online setup for small business, built by one person.

I design, write and build every site myself, and I set up your Google and Facebook pages and ads too, so you deal with me from the first call to launch day. No agency, no hand-offs, and a fixed price before anything starts. Websites can be live in as little as seven days.

You deal with me

There is no account manager and no hand-off. I take the call, write the copy and build the site, so what you tell me is what gets made.

Price in writing first

Every quote is a flat number agreed before work starts. If the scope changes, you get a new number before anything extra is built.

You own it

Your domain, hosting, files, Google profile, Facebook page and ad accounts are all in your name from day one. No lock-in, and you can take the site anywhere.

Online setup

Google and Facebook, set up properly.

A website isn't the only way to bring in customers. I set up your Google and Facebook profiles and the ads that go with them, all in your name, so you're easy to find from day one and a website slots in whenever you want one.

Facebook business page

  • Three launch posts ready to share

  • Blocked keywords so you don't pay for clicks that aren't customers

All three together

$650 instead of $750

Facebook page, Google Business Profile and Google Ads setup in one go. Prefer to run it yourself afterwards? I'll walk you through everything at handover at no extra cost.

Facebook ads

Ad spend from about $5 a day

Optional ads aimed at people around you, roughly $150 a month at that rate. Setup is quoted when you want it.

Monthly ad management

$100 a month

A weekly check of your ads, cutting anything that wastes money, four Facebook posts a month and a short summary of calls, messages and spend. No lock-in.

A website

Pick a package above

Ads generally work better, and cost less per click, when they lead to a proper page. Add one now or later.

Ad spend is paid by you

Advertising goes straight from your own card to Google and Facebook, so the money never passes through me. I usually suggest starting around $10 to $15 a day on Google. You can pause or change a budget at any time.

Every account is yours

All accounts belong to your business, with me added as a manager, so you're always in control.

Live within a week

Once I have your logo, photos and details, the Facebook page and Google Ads can be live within a week. The Google profile needs a verification step from you, which can take a few days.

Process

From first message to live site

1

Quote

You fill in a short questionnaire. Within one business day I send a fixed price, a timeline and a one-page agreement.

2

Words, then design

I write the copy first, then build the site on a private link where you can watch it take shape.

3

Your review

You send back one list of changes. Two rounds of revisions are included in every package.

4

Launch

Final payment, then the site goes live and every login is handed over to you.

About

Hi, I'm Daniel Stratton

I'm here to help people who have the idea but not the time, and just need a hand taking the next steps. I'm based in Brisbane, and I look after the whole job myself, from the first call to the finished job.

FAQ

Questions people ask first

Who will I be dealing with?

Just me. I'm Daniel Stratton, a sole trader in Brisbane, and my name and ABN are on every quote and invoice. There's no account manager or hand-off: I take the call, write the copy and build the site.

Can you set up Google and Facebook without building me a website?

Yes. Each one has its own fixed price (see Online setup above), and a website can be added any time. Ads send people somewhere, so I'll tell you honestly whether a website would help first.

Will I own everything you set up?

Yes. The domain, hosting and files are registered in your name from day one, and you get every login at launch. Your Google profile, Facebook page and ad accounts belong to your business too, with me added as a manager so you're always in control. If you ever want to move to someone else, nothing is held back.

What do you need from me?

A short questionnaire (about 15 minutes), your logo if you have one, and any photos of your work or team. If you don't have photos, I can start with good stock images.

What if I need changes after launch?

Take the care plan at $99 a month, which includes up to 30 minutes of changes, or pay $90 an hour as you need them. Either way, hosting stays in your name.

Get started

Tell me what you do. I'll send back a fixed price.

No meeting needed to get a number. Send a couple of lines about your business, and the link to your current site if you have one. You'll have a quote and a timeline within one business day.
