Testimonials
What our clients say
Real feedback from businesses we've helped grow online.
"Zac is incredible. He analyzed our existing website, showed us where it wasn't optimised. In — no kidding — 1 day, he had our website rebuilt and the results were immediate. An AI search optimised site that was much more searchable in Google. Questions answered within an hour, content changes applied just as quickly. Zac's knowledge & curiosity extends much past web design and SEO — we've also had him build bots for admin tasks and chat bots for live bookings on the web."
Rachel O'Kelly
Jentech Electrical →"Arclight Digital did a great job designing the website for Anchorapp. The site looks professional, clear, and easy to use. It explains the services well and gives the business a much stronger online presence. I would highly recommend Arclight Digital for website design."
"Arclight Digital redesigned my website and completely elevated the professional presentation of my business. The process was smooth, thoughtful, and responsive — they took the care to understand what I needed rather than producing a generic website. The final result feels much more aligned with my business and gives a far better first impression to potential clients."

Meet Zac
Hi, I'm Zac — and I build every site myself.
I started Arclight Digital because I kept seeing small businesses paying agency prices for templated websites that didn't move the needle. You deserve better.
When you hire me, you get me — not a junior, not an offshore handoff, not a project manager standing between you and the work. I'll answer your messages within the hour and build something that actually brings in customers.
My background is full-stack development, SEO, and AI search optimisation. I work fast, I keep things simple, and I'll tell you straight if something won't work.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost in Australia?
Arclight Digital offers website packages starting at $500 for a 1–2 page landing site, $1,200–$2,000 for a 3–5 page small business site, and $2,000–$3,500 for a full 5–10 page custom website. These are significantly below the typical Australian agency rates of $2,500–$10,000 for equivalent work. All websites include responsive design, contact forms, and SEO-ready structure. E-commerce websites built on Shopify or WooCommerce start from $3,500.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most websites are delivered within 5–7 business days from an approved brief — far faster than the 4–8 week timeline typical of Australian agencies. We also offer a 24-hour express build option for landing pages, priced from $800–$1,200, where your site goes live within one business day. Larger multi-page sites and e-commerce builds may take 7–10 days depending on complexity.
What is included in your packages?
The Essentials plan ($99/month) covers hosting, SSL, CDN, backups, domain management, security monitoring, bug fixes, Google Business Profile setup, minor content updates, and a monthly traffic report. The Growth plan ($299/month) adds on-page SEO, Google Business optimisation, local keyword research, monthly content updates, a full SEO report with competitor snapshot, and a quarterly strategy call. The Pro plan ($599/month) includes everything in Growth plus link building, AI search optimisation, fortnightly content updates, a detailed monthly report with recommendations, a monthly strategy call, and priority support. Every plan is month-to-month with no lock-in contracts.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
No. Most of our SEO and hosting packages are month-to-month — you can cancel at any time with no penalties. The only exception is the Pro + Web bundle ($799/month), which includes a free website build valued at $2,000–$5,000 and requires a 12-month commitment. We believe in keeping clients because we deliver results, not because of contract lock-in.
What is AI search optimisation?
AI search optimisation (also called GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation) ensures your business appears in AI-powered search results from tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. This involves structuring your content so AI systems can accurately cite your business, adding machine-readable data like schema markup and llms.txt, and building the brand signals that AI models use to determine which businesses to recommend.
Can you help if I already have a website?
Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us with an existing website that isn't performing well. We can migrate your site to our hosting, optimise it for speed and search engines, or build you a brand new site while preserving your existing domain and search rankings. Our SEO packages work with any website platform — whether it's WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, or custom-built.
Do you work with businesses outside Brisbane?
Yes. While we're based in Brisbane and specialise in the Australian market, we work with small businesses across all of Australia. Web design and SEO management are done entirely online, so location doesn't affect the quality of work. We've built websites for clients in Sydney, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, and regional Queensland.
