Keep reading to get your website working for you.
Yes.
We don't just build websites, anyone can do that.
We build sales and marketing tools that help your business grow.
With more than decade of experience under our belts launching businesses successfully online, we know what works and what doesn't. We'll take care of everything you need to launch a successful website.
Many websites are very poorly put together and just as badly thought out. This is mostly because they’re not given the respect or thought they deserve or a template was used. You're told to build a beautiful website, but no-one seems to ever mention the need to build it functionally too.
What do we do in a nutshell? Well, we take your business concept, formulate a website strategy, then translate that into a unique custom website that sets you apart from the competition and directs visitors to profit centers, information sources or whatever you website goal is.
Tell us what you need to achieve by completing our three in-depth project questionnaires
We present you with a UI/UX strategy that will achieve your business goals
We custom design and code your website with your involvement each step of the way
We build custom WordPress websites in just one week. Websites that work.
Our program is made up of three main components that make it different from any other service.
Experience. We've been doing this foreeeever, we know what you should and shouldn't be doing for your type of business. We'll deliver strategies and solutions that we know will work.
No cheapo templates here. Your website is brought to life as a lovingly hand-crafted custom WordPress theme by expert designers and developers. Don't adapt your business to a crappy downloaded theme, create a website adapted to your business.
We're here post-launch to help you with anything that you might need. Support hours are part of the package. We want your website to reach its full potential.

"Our experience with Waqa Studios could not have been better. They seamlessly implemented our design requests to create a responsive website that went above and beyond our expectations. Waqa exhibits a strong awareness for responsive layout and its relationship to the user experience – resulting in a website that separates our business from the rest of the industry."

"These guys are great, really they are. I have a technology background and I gave them a hard time just to be sure they are up-to-scratch. Truth is, I work on A LOT of projects, and I work with LOTS of people, and when it comes to design or development these guys are the right choice. Mostly for the sheer quality of communication and understanding. They just get me. And, for a busy person such as myself, that's just bliss."
David Habibi
General Manager, Pro Wellness Health Centre, Australia
"It was the consulting that really made the difference. We know our services, we know how to sell them, but we don't know how you should present them on a website in a way that brings us the maximum amount of interest from potential leads. You guys solved that."

You'll get a web strategy tailored to your business that will get you more conversions than if you were to build your own DIY website or go with a provider whose experience is limited to just installing WordPress themes.
We'll discuss how to leverage each of the following and tailor our service to your specific business as soon as you reserve your space..
We'll deliver a custom WordPress theme that oozes that premium feeling, helps your business make more sales, and lives up to the ideals of your brand.
We create your menus and add content for you, either as much as we can during the design and build week or just the key pages to help you on your way.
We’ll add the custom code or plugins needed for your type of business - from blog commenting, social media sharing and testimonials, to SEO tools that we’ll also configure for you.
Your site will reach everyone, regardless of the device they’re using to access it or where they’re accessing it from. Your customers will appreciate our eye for optimization and fast load speeds on mobile.
WordPress lets you add, edit and remove pages at will. All aspects of your website will be customizable and under your complete control, with multiple page layouts.
Build interest in your product or service with the included optional blog templates and social functionality, or run a blog as the main purpose of the website.
Build a database of leads with opt-in forms from a squeeze-page style home page, or from strategically placed opt-in forms throughout the website.
We'll set up Google Search Console and Google Analytics on your behalf so you have your website status and visitor profiles at your fingertips for future tweaking.
Our developers will successfully launch your website on your own web hosting (which we can help source) and will be under your complete control.
Keep your website safe with hacker-proof security settings we set up and configure for you, and keep your database automatically backed.
Have an expert on hand post-launch to help you make the most of your new website. We include one week of unlimited email support in the price.
Feel included in design decisions with our communicative team as we ask for your approval of our creative ideas and take yours into account at each stage.
Picture yourself a year after your website's launch. You’ve skipped over the painful period of trial and error and you’ve taken a shortcut straight to the happy ending. You’ve quit worrying about constant A/B testing your failing old website and now you concentrate on running your business and working on your marketing.
You have THREE different approaches to creating a website for your business.
You need to choose the right one.
Most of our relaunch customers fit into this category. Bamboozled by the fancy multi-million dollar marketing campaigns of DIY website builders like Squarespace and Wix.
These providers generously offer to hold your website hostage for just a small monthly fee, giving you access to a tool that lets you drag random components onto a page in a pre-designed template that all of your competitors use too, with no guidance at all other than telling you it’s “built beautiful”.
Doesn’t sound like such a good deal when you put it like that, does it? But if this is you, don’t worry. Almost everyone starts off this way to test the world-wide-web-waters... to see if they’re happy with their concept. THE PROBLEM? It’s not going to get your business very far if it was built without taking into account a strategy to turn visitors into leads then into customers.
Were you savvy enough to choose WordPress or another expandable self-hosted system? Well, another source of relaunch customers are people who were sent to a “friend of a friend” who “does websites”. Or they stumbled across a “boutique web designer” on Pinterest. Again someone’s been bamboozled here. For a tidy sum, a mass-produced theme has been installed, a logo has been added and a drag-and-drop builder has placed some fancy components onto the pages… aaaand that’s it. You’re left to your own devices with no idea whether what’s been set up has ANY chance of serving any kind of purpose whatsoever.
You’ve got the website equivalent of walking up to someone in the street and shouting “hey you, buy this!”. That's not much of a plan, worse still if you've been let loose on an empty street at 3am.
How about working with a team to carefully define your product, your customer base, your key aims for your business… and then have them come up with a solution based on what they’ve successfully made to work time and time again? Wouldn’t it be better to INVEST IN SUCCESS from the get go? To build your list, to sell your service, to fill your calendar from early on and have your website PAY FOR ITSELF?
That’s what we do, and we can do it for you too!
We've developed a strict process that we follow to the letter – and it really works. Everyone is clear about what comes next and there's little mental overhead or room for scope creep. Any deviation or extras are billed separately, but if we stay within the process (we can always handle add-ons afterwards with a clear head) then you get one of the best prices you'll ever find.
If you're raring to go, you can purchase the full package below and get your project queued up right away. You'll be in immediate contact with the team who'll help you with the next steps and guide you through everything.
If you are still preparing or you can't pay right away, you can choose the option to reserve a spot for a very very small deposit. With this you'll be assigned a project manager who'll help you complete your questionnaires, guide you through the process and answer all your questions. You even get this deposit back when you're ready to begin!
Yes, each package has a payment plan associated with it. The only caveat is that we don't begin work until everything is paid for. Each individual payment is made on your own schedule that we'll discuss with you in relation to the launch date you have in mind. We're very accommodating.
We need you to be readily available during the One Week process. It flies by. The fact that the process is so carefully scheduled is one of the reasons we're able to keep the price down.
You'll be discussing the layout, the design, you'll be testing the finished website and coordinating the final launch with your project manager during the 'One Week' but also in the leadup and in the support period afterwards. Please be responsive!
The One Week Website program assumes you're starting with:-
If you don't have these at the start of the process, you can either wait until you do or work with us to complete them. We offer services relating to each of the prerequisites at different price points. You can see some here or you can contact us.
Great news… You don’t need to get a whole lot of traffic to your website on day one for your business to make you money in the long term. What you need is to starting converting the one or two visitors you get at launch, then keep converting new ones from there.
Tell me… which is the better deal... sell once on day one, then once on day two… Or sell nothing on day one, nothing on day two and nothing in the next few weeks because your website sucks?
Is it working as well as you want it to? If it’s not working… then it’s not working, and by replacing it you’re not losing anything. Instead, you’re gaining the chance to earn something back for your investment.
Need more than our standard features to realize your vision?
Our complementary services might be for you. Contact your assigned Project Manager if you're already a customer or email [email protected] and explain your needs and we'll deliver a customized proposal.
Branding sets you apart from the competition. It gives you an opportunity to be known, remembered and then chosen from among a multitude of competitors. It’s the most important thing a business will ever decide to create and its most valuable asset going forward.
It’s not just a logo. It’s your entire presentation to your target market. Your potential clients will be using it to judge whether or not to do business with you at all.
Our complete branding packages range from the most simple to complete corporate identity documents.
What's Included:
You’ll also receive a reduced style guide based on the logo colors and fonts which can be used to develop future design items (printed work, websites) that fit the branding, or as a starting point for more complete branding.
Just $350 USD or equivalent in another accepted currency
We present a logo based on your responses to our questions in the branding questionnaire. We take into consideration your preferences, but particularly focus on your business, its target market and the impression you want to make to your clients. We refine the logo until we arrive at a final version. We form a color palette from the logo and detail the typography used and deliver them in a Logo Style Guide that can be used to create a fuller brand in the future.
What's Included:
Not just a logo, but a brand. But, you’ll also receive a full brand style guide that sets out fonts, colors, patterns and textures to be used throughout all marketing elements in your business. The multi-page document is your business’s identity and will be the basis and the guide for any other marketing materials you later create. You also receive files ready for use in digital and print, as well as all source files. Here we also include branding items for two social media profiles.
Just $650 USD or equivalent in another accepted currency
After completing a branding questionnaire, you´ll engage with our designers to deliver a moodboard that will set the visual tone for your brand. This is like a digital scrapbook that captures the essence of your brand, your business, its culture and the way it should make your customers feel. This allows us to pinpoint your needs, essentially converting your answers in the questionnaire into something visual. Once this is approved, we’ll present one or more logo drafts and complete revisions to arrive at a final logo. With the full Brand Style Guide we go much further than the Logo Style Guide with usage guidelines, source files, and the logo pre-prepared for digital and print use in a range of formats.
If you know what you want to say but don't know how to say it, or if you're worried that the way you say it will determine how successful your website is (you're not wrong!), then consider hiring a professional to help create your website content for you.
We partner with professional copywriters and content developers in major languages in different regions of the work. Contact us to arrange a quote.
The final website is under your complete control, on a web hosting account you own and pay for. You'll need web hosting before we can launch your website.
Need hosting? We can do this for you! Purchase our One Week Website package today and ask us to source, purchase and configure your web hosting for you. On launch day, we'll add the cost of the hosting to your bill. Set up is free!
How Much is hosting? We only recommend the best.
Small businesses: We recommend SiteGround – fast, secure and superb support at just $3.95 per month
Medium businesses: We recommend a variety of different solutions depending on business type and budget
You have skills you're sure you'll be able to sell online, but you might not know what the best way to do this is. How do you go about developing a business model? How do you define your market and go about selling?
We can help come up with a plan, analysis your competition and develop customer profiles and marketing plans. Contact us to arrange a quote.
The front page of a One Week Website can often be configured to work as a sales page. Its customizable blocks can direct and focus a vistor's attention to specific services or calls-to-action. But we often see cases where our clients want something more. Perhaps they have a specific product they want to promote. Perhaps it needs to be set up as a squeeze page, where the only way forward is towards a conversion. Perhaps more than one are needed, and they must be easy to create a publish.
If you think you might need this additional functionality, please contact us to arrange a quote.
Do you create valuable content worth charging for? Or have an area of your site you’d like to reserve for members/customers? Are you selling a product with support, or are you a coachselling access to an e-course?
Our membership websites are set up so that you will be able to run your own course easily without the full-time assistance of a designer or developer. We’ve done the heavy lifting to create not just a stunning website but a system that will allow you to run and administrate your course by easily adding and editing your modules, lessons or content.
What's Included:
This is for you if you want to:
Membership sites normally sit alongside your existing business website (the One Week Website) as a separate WordPress installation. This keeps it secure when multiple users can register and can access private areas. If you won't need the business website, you can opt to just create a membership site from scratch. This would then be the only price, rather that an additional investment.
2 Payments of $950 USD
or 1 Payment of $1799 USD or equivalent in another accepted currency
Add shopping cart functionality to your One Week Website, receive payments, control stock or deliver digital products easily.
Is selling products and services the main purpose of your One Week Website? Or is your online store at addition to a standard website?
What's Included
A One Week Website project with ecommerce will automatically be extended to become a two-week process.
If your website will primarily be an online store, we’ll design the front page to take into account products and product categories. This means we work on the shop from the beginning over each of the two weeks and will be asking questions about it from the very start.
If your website’s focus is something else, for example you are a consultant looking for clients but you also sell your own ebooks, the shop index will be an additional page and the front page will be dedicated to your primary focus rather than be a shop index itself. This means we’ll work on the shop once the One Week Website is completed, using the second of the two weeks.
Build an online store from ground up. Perfect for selling hundred of products across multiple categories. Add $1235 USD to the price of a One Week Website. Please contact us to arrange a quote specific to your needs.
Add a section on your website to sell your wares. Perfect for selling selling ebooks, products or services related to your main offerings. From $650 USD in addition to the price of a One Week Website. Different solutions are available depending on your needs, please contact us to arrange a quote.
One Week Website sees to it that a human being is available at every step of the process to guide you and support you on your journey. After launch, we include one week of unlimited email support.
Need something more comprehensive?
Purchase additional support via video conference (Skype, Hangouts) at just $65 USD for 30 minutes.
We can help fix problems, format new pages and install plugins at just $65 USD per hour, sold in blocks of 5 hours
Extend you unlimited email support for another week for just $325 USD.
We're always on hand to help should something go wrong at our hourly rate (See Extra Support)
But what if you want to keep anything from going wrong?
Our monthly Maintenance Plans keep your website in top condition and perfect health.
$135 per month
$205 per month
$585 per month
Health Check includes configuring and monitoring of security plugins, detection and removal of malware, Google Search Console alerts, plugin updates and WordPress updates.
*Malware removal and site update times are taken from technical support hours.
**If site restoration from backup is needed, this is taken from technical support hours.
Good SEO practices – so called “White Hat” SEO – involve a slow and steady natural approach to optimization. These long-term techniques are no longer one of many routes to take because short-term “Black Hat” practices simply no longer work.
Unfortunately the vast majority of SEO companies engage in practices that actually hard your business, or will do when you are found out. You see, SEO is a continuous struggle against your competitors to get your website in front of customer's eyes for certain keywords. All your competitors are doing the same. This means it often becomes as much as a battle of budgets as it is a battle of wits.
You won't see results with budgets less than $500 USD per month, and we can only accept a minimum contract of six months. Anything else would be an attempt to use banned practices for short term gain leading to long term problems.
Whether you’re writing an ebook to use as a freebie for a successful mailing list subscription or as a product you want to sell, how it is presented is almost as important as the content you’ve written.
Prices start at $95 USD or equivalent in another accepted currency
Contact us to arrange a quote.
We can deliver downloadable ebooks for a variety of devices and deliver optimized formats. Ours is an inclusive service which can include cover design, typesetting and creation of internal graphics. Whether you’re in need of a simple one pager or a multi-page masterpiece, we’ll deliver.
Putting aside the fact that you'll have up to 4 team members working on your project...
...or that we sneakily schedule the strategy session before the 'One Week' and then the support/launch after the 'One Week', all while brazenly and shamelessy calling the process the 'One Week Website'...
...it's mostly our process and tools. We try not to go on and on about our component-based design process, but since you asked...
The One Week Website process uses components as the basis to create your unique website. These are common elements, used everywhere throughout the web, that are proven to work for specific purposes.
For example, after analysing questionnaire responses at the start of the process, we may decide your type of business is one that would likely have personal testimonials from happy clients and is the type of business that will attract new clients by showing these testimonials on the homepage. The testimonials block on the homepage is a component.
We have many components pre-built in code, waiting to be styled. The wireframe that you'll receive after the strategy session will display variations of the components in a layout that our team is certain will work best. We then add a design on top.
Ideal candidates might be...
Coaching/Personal Service – lifestyle coach, business coach
Local businesses – law firms, local services, accountants, contractors
Single Product or Service – sell a book, promote an app
Landing Pages – build a mailing list, squeeze-sell a service or product
Crowdfunders – get a basic site up cheaply to be expanded later
Personal – bloggers, wedding sites
Corporate – you know who you are
Not you? It probably is, let me show you why. We tailor our websites for specific business types, we also look out for and enjoy working with those who break the mold. We build all kinds of websites for all kinds of businesses.
However...
There are some website types that require add-ons to our standard packages, often because these websites are actually web apps rather than web sites and stand no chance of being completed within just one week.
With add-ons we can build...
E-Courses – membership sites, content delivery, paywalls, subscriptions
Ecommerce – shopping carts, payment integration
Complex/Repeatable sales page systems – sites with lots of sales pages for different products
Not clear? If you do need to check before you buy, drop us a line.
Yes. This isn't a DIY site builder program, or a theme modification service. This is a bespoke design process. You OWN the finished product and you receive the source files. Just like big companies get when they pay a million bucks. You'll own and maintain your own web hosting account where your website will be installed.
As a WordPress website, you can update all pages, add new ones and expand functionality with plugins.
Yes, with the Vision Session! We've found that many potential clients, either because of negative past experiences or just because of the sheer amount of effort needed to apply technical/digital-marketing jargon to their business, have a lot of questions that are too complex or too specific for us to answer on a website like this one. Specific rather than generic questions are what this session is all about. What this service can do for YOU. What we recommend for YOU, etc. And even if you don't want to go ahead right now, what advice and guidance can we give YOU that you can take forward?
Why is this not free? We charge a very small fee of $99 because this is not one of the "fake" consultations others offer. Here we're not pretending to offer you a consultation while really spending all our energies and efforts trying to convince you to part with your money. If you do decide to move forward, sure, we can near guarantee you'll be estatic with the results. But if you don't want to go ahead, at least not right now, that's fine too. The Vision Session exists to help you, not to sell to you.
Benefits include:-
But that's not all. If you decide to move forward with a One Week Website, you'll be introduced to your project manager, get access to all the materials we provide to clients and have someone available to answer any questions after the Vision Session is over. See below!
The idea is that your website pays its own way in life, that it shouldn’t cost you a penny by the time you’ve improved your sales. But we have a surprise for you… what if we told you that you didn’t have to pay a fortune for a custom website, that those figures you’ve seen thrown around can be cut in half or by a quarter? Our service was created for small business owners and entrepreneurs, and we’ve set up a precisely controlled process that allows us to deliver a lot for a little. You’ll love how simple it is.
Then all the more reason to build a website that converts better. Let’s say you’re selling something that’s really expensive because it’s really valuable. Or you’re in an industry where there’s SO MUCH COMPETITION. All the more reason to pay very close attention to how much more YOUR business stands out with a strategically considered layout, with key design cues, with well placed “calls-to-action” and with a perfect experience for the user. You need to build a strategy based on the type of product you are selling or benefit you are looking for (maybe you need to collect leads, build a list and sell later, increase blog readers, for example). Make every visitor count.
“What if pushy sales techniques don’t work for my business type?”
Then don’t be pushy. Let’s design a strategy that fits your business, its target market and your company culture. Maybe you’re an immigration or family lawyer. Your home page is not going to be a sales page. You need to show off expertise and make it as easy as possible for visitors to find information… then contact you. That’s not pushy.

Find out why it's important to define your business objectives from the get-go and build a strategy around those. Web design isn't about making things look nice. It's about results.
