Websites that look beautiful and pull their weight
I'm Dana. I build Squarespace and Shopify websites for Australian small businesses — clear to read, easy to manage, and set up so the right people can find you. Based in Sawtell near Coffs Harbour, working with clients all over Australia.
Any of this sound familiar?
None of it means your website is broken. Most small business sites underperform in ways that are easy to miss, and easy enough to fix once someone tells you what they are.
Your website looks fine, but nobody enquires through it.
You've been quoted wildly different prices and can't tell what's reasonable.
You can't find yourself on Google unless you type your business name.
Someone built your site and disappeared, and now you can't change anything yourself.
You know something needs fixing — you just don't know what to fix first.
You're paying for SEO but nobody has explained what you're getting for it.
There's no point pushing traffic at a website that can't convert it.
So the work runs in a set order, and I'll tell you honestly which stage you're at.
Find out what's wrong
A free website and SEO audit, done by hand. You get clear recommendations on structure, messaging, SEO and conversion — whether or not you work with me afterwards.
Fix the foundations
If the site itself is the problem, that gets scoped, quoted and built first. Structure, messaging, mobile, tracking and SEO-ready setup — so there's something worth optimising.
Then optimise, monthly
Content, local search and ongoing refinement through an SEO retainer. Month to month, so you can stop when it stops being useful.
If your website needs work before an SEO package makes sense, I'll say so and quote it separately rather than sell you a retainer that can't succeed.
That's the part most people don't get told.

Hi, I'm Dana
I work with Australian small businesses to design, rebuild and improve websites that are straightforward, reliable and built to perform.
I'm upfront about what's working, what isn't, and what's worth your time or budget — even when that means recommending less work, not more. You'll get clear options and make the decisions yourself.
I use AI as a support tool for drafting and research. Every recommendation and every final decision is mine.
What Clients Say
A few things you might be wondering…
If you’re considering working with The Partner Consulting, these are some of the questions I am most often asked.
-
Most builds land between $3,500 and $6,500 ex GST depending on scope, page count and functionality. You'll get a fixed quote before anything starts — no hourly surprises.
-
Often neither is obvious from the outside, which is what the free audit is for. If your site's foundations are sound, SEO is the better spend. If they aren't, optimising it won't help much and I'll tell you that.
-
Yes. AI assistants pull from clearly structured, clear, useful pages, and a lot of small business sites aren't set up to be read that way. It's part of the SEO work rather than a separate product.
-
No. Both SEO retainers are month to month, and ongoing support is ad hoc. If it isn't working for you, stop.
-
That's most of my clients, and it's completely fine. You'll get training, plain-English explanations and a site you can update without holding your breath.
-
Yes, as a support tool for drafting and research. The strategy, the recommendations and the final calls are always mine.
