Person. No middlemen. Ever.

I'm Stu — a Melbourne-based web designer who works directly with Australian small and medium businesses. No agencies, no account managers, no outsourcing. Just clear thinking, sharp design and websites that actually do the job.

I started Stu Studio because too many good businesses had bad websites — or none at all. Whether you need to simply exist online or stand out in a competitive market, I've got a path that fits.

I work across trades, construction, services, manufacturing, retail and professional services. If you run a business in Australia and need to look the part online, we should talk.

Why Stu Studio

Not an Agency.
Something Better.

Agencies have layers — account managers, project managers, designers, developers. You pay for all of them and talk to none of them. Stu Studio is different. You work directly with the person building your site, from the first conversation to the final launch.

01
Direct Access
You talk to the designer — not a sales rep or account manager. Faster decisions, clearer communication, better results.
02
Priced for SMEs
No enterprise pricing. No retainer traps. Packages built around what small businesses actually need and can afford.
03
Australian-Based
Melbourne-based and focused on the Australian market. I understand local business, local customers and local competition.
04
No Surprises
Flat pricing, clear scope, no hidden extras. You know what you're getting before we start — and that's exactly what you get.
05
Ongoing Care
Your site doesn't get abandoned after launch. The annual care plan keeps it live, fast, secure and up to date.
06
Fast Turnaround
No 8-week agency timelines. Most sites are live in 1–4 weeks depending on the package and how fast you can move.

What We Do

01
Web Design
Clean, mobile-first websites built to perform. From single-page presence to multi-page business sites — designed to convert visitors into enquiries.
02
Branding
Your brand is more than a logo. I build cohesive visual identities that give your business a consistent, credible and memorable presence in the market.
03
SEO
Get found. On-page SEO, local search optimisation and technical foundations that help Australian customers find your business when they're ready to buy.
04
eCommerce
Sell online with confidence. From product catalogues to full checkout experiences — built for Australian businesses ready to grow their revenue online.
05
Copywriting
Words that work as hard as your business. Clear, compelling copy that speaks directly to your customers — no jargon, no fluff, just results.
06
Logo Design
A strong logo is the foundation of everything. I design marks that are simple, scalable and built to represent your business for the long haul.

Design

Visual direction, layout and identity come together. Every element is considered — from typography to colour to imagery — to build something that looks the part and means business.

03

Direction

Refinement, feedback and focus. We make sure the final product is exactly right — aligned with your goals, clear for your customers and built to perform.

Your site goes live — tested, optimised and ready to work. Ongoing care plans keep everything running smoothly so you can focus on your business.

Questions

The Things
Everyone Asks.

Straight answers to the questions that come up in almost every first conversation.

How long does a website take to build?+
Most sites are ready in 1–4 weeks. The Presence and Launch packages move quickest — usually 1–2 weeks. The Business package takes 3–4 weeks to do properly. Timelines also depend on how quickly you can provide feedback and content.
What's included in the $500/year website care?+
Hosting, security, software updates, backups, uptime monitoring and a set of minor content changes each year. It's everything needed to keep your site live, fast and secure — so you don't have to think about it.
Do I need to provide my own photos and copy?+
For the Presence and Launch packages, yes — you'll need to provide the basics and I'll give direction. The Business and Signature packages include copy direction and I'll work with what you have or guide you on what's needed.
Can I update the site myself after it's built?+
Yes — depending on the build I can set up a simple content management system. Alternatively, minor updates are included in your annual care plan and you can just send them through to me directly.
Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?+
Absolutely. Most of my process is done remotely via calls, email and shared documents. I work with businesses all across Australia — location is never a barrier.
What if I already have a domain or existing website?+
No problem at all. I can work with your existing domain and migrate or replace your current site cleanly. We'll sort out the domain and hosting details as part of the onboarding process.
