I’m a one-person design and build studio. I’ve launched a family of my own products, going deep in Australia’s strata industry and beyond, and I build the same clean, fast, honest websites and online stores for other businesses.
My own products solving real, everyday problems in Australia’s strata and body corporate industry, plus client work in the same world.
Strata ComparisonAn independent way for owners and committees to compare strata managers side by side and choose with confidence. Clarity in a market that usually offers guesswork.
Strata Check-InA sign at the door, and contractors sign themselves in on their own phone. Every Monday a record of who was in the building lands in the manager’s inbox. One price per building, whatever its size.
Strata TradiesA vetted network connecting strata managers and committees with tradies who actually understand body corporate work. Compliant quotes, the right trades, and no more chasing.
Transparent strata insurance broking that puts committees first, with full disclosure on commissions, plain-English cover, and advice built around the building, not the sale.
A rebuild for a strata firm trading since 1923. New South Wales sits at the root and Queensland at /queensland/, each with its own colour, terminology, phone number and office, switched by the visitor. One domain rather than two, so the Queensland side opens with the search authority the site already has instead of starting from nothing.
The same craft, applied outside strata: general insurance, UK commercial cleaning, a luxury Shopify store, a bilingual practice in Munich, marine technology, and management rights training.
A general insurance brokerage built on the same principle as the strata version, with plain-English cover and honest advice, minus the jargon.
Welch’s of WilmslowA crisp, trustworthy site for a commercial cleaning company serving Cheshire and the North West, with clear services, easy enquiries, and a brand that looks the part.
Divine Apothecarydivineapothecary.com.auMy first custom Shopify theme. An elevated, mystical storefront for a luxury botanical rituals brand, built for a considered, high-end shopping experience.
The Shoulder Praxis Münchenshoulderpraxismunchen.deMy first bilingual site. A sports chiropractic practice in Munich, with every page in German and in English, and analytics that stay off until the visitor says yes.
The Asia Pacific dealer site for the original wireless docking system, running since 2002. Three product ranges, a technical story told simply, and a clear path to a demo, for owners of everything from runabouts to 30 metre superyachts.
A full rebuild for the training and consultancy business behind Australia’s first fully online management rights course. Thirteen modules, CPD, pre-purchase audits and a handbook, all made easy to find and easy to enrol in. Gold Coast built, delivered nationally.
JB by Design is a one-person studio. I take a website or online store all the way from idea to launch, covering brand and layout, the words, the actual build, SEO and performance, so you deal with one person who owns the whole outcome.
Strata is where I go deepest: I build my own products in the industry, so I understand it from the inside. But the craft travels. Welch’s of Wilmslow and The Shoulder Praxis München prove the same standard works on the other side of the world, in English and in German.
Strategy, design and the actual build, handled by one person for one clear outcome.
Plain English, clear scope, and no hidden agenda, in the work and in the client relationship.
Fast, SEO-ready, mobile-first sites made to be found and to convert.
Word for word, as they were left on Google.
Project: The Shoulder Praxis München website
Worked with Jeff to build up a webpage, he was able to whip up a flashy website pretty rapidly. And he's been very responsive to my constant edits. I'm excited to see how the SEO performs. It's quite unreal what he bundles together in this package
Thanks Fraser, enjoyed building my first bilingual website
Project: Ottro training platform
We had decided to engage a web developer who was forward thinking and up-to-date with both our current and potential future needs. JB by Design delivered our web platform combined with the ability to on sell our product.
Our bespoke training platform has been delivered and from our clients they are reporting an ease in its use, and also it’s visual appeal.
I would not hesitate to recommend Jeff after spending money on platforms that did not come close to the outcome of this.
Thanks Stephen, it's been fun helping pull this together for you
Project: Cover Confidence website
Jeff and JB By Design built my site Cover Confidence and I couldn't be happier! He took the time to understand the requirements of my industry and really listened to how I wanted the site to look and feel. JB By Design has delivered a great product. Appreciate all the hard work you put in Jeff
Thanks Gavin, was a pleasure building this for you
Project: Welchs of Wilmslow website
Jeff built the website for our commercial cleaning business, Welchs of Wilmslow Cleaning Services. He did the absolute lot!!! From the design, the writing, pages for each service and each area we cover to the quote form.
He took time to understand how the business actually works and our ethos, rather than dropping us into a template. He was so reactive and very quick to our needs and requests during the process, even though he is in Australia and we are are in the UK.
We're now on the first page of Google for commercial cleaning in Cheshire and we have never paid for ads.
More than happy to recommend Jeff, not only for his professional service, attitude and understanding but, for going above and beyond and ultimately getting it RIGHT!!!
It was so nice working with someone so creative and passionate about what they do.
Thanks Andy, it was a pleasure helping with this project
Project: Divine Apothecary Shopify theme
Jeff from JB by Design built a custom Shopify theme for Divine Apothecary and we’re thrilled with it.
He took the time to understand our brand and turned our website into a store that looks beautiful and is easy for our customers to shop. I especially love the user experience and how luxurious the site feels, how easy it is to navigate and how well it presents the brand.
Jeff was brilliant to work with, explained technology terms in plain English and was quick to sort out any tweaks. If you need a Shopify website built properly, I’d highly recommend Jeff.
Thank you for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure and I'm looking forward to the full launch next week! Good luck, not that you will need it with your amazing product line.
