What you get

A website that earns its keep

Anyone can put a business online. The difference is whether the thing actually brings you work.

Built to be found

Local SEO foundations are baked in from the first line: clean structure, proper headings, schema markup and page speed that Google actually rewards. You launch ready to rank, not needing a rescue six months later.

Quick to load, quicker to rank

Speed is a ranking factor, not a nice to have. We keep the weight down so pages open straight away, which Google rewards with position and customers reward by not leaving before the page has finished loading.

Designed to convert

Clear services, obvious phone number, easy enquiry form, proof from your reviews. Looking good is the easy part. The layout is built around the path from landing on the page to picking up the phone.

Yours, properly

Your domain, your content, your data. We host, maintain and improve it as part of the monthly plan, but the site is yours and you are never held hostage to get access to it.

Connected to the system

The site is the front door. Behind it sits your CRM, instant reply, review automation and follow-up, so an enquiry at 9pm on a Sunday is answered and booked rather than lost.

Supported after launch

Launch day is the start. Copy changes, new services, new photos, a page for a new town. You email, we handle it, and the site keeps up with the business instead of ageing badly.

The process

How we build your website

Six stages from first conversation to a site that keeps bringing in work. Click through and see exactly what happens at each one.

Step 01

Discovery

A free, no-obligation chat about what you actually need the website to do.

We go through your goals, the jobs you want more of and the ones you would rather stop getting. We look at who you are up against locally and what your customers want to know before they pick up the phone.

You come out of that conversation with a clear scope and a fixed monthly number. No discovery fee, no vague quote that quietly grows later.

  • Your goals and best jobs mapped out
  • A proper look at your local competition
  • Clear scope and a fixed price up front

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Lachlan

Since launching Hike in 2018, I have worked with local businesses across all kinds of industries with one thing in mind: return on investment.

A website should not just tick the box of having a digital presence. It should be a real business asset that brings in leads, books jobs and builds your reputation. These days that means more than a good-looking site, it means the whole system behind it working for you. If that is what you are after, let’s talk.

Working with Lachy has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He completely transformed the Tracks of Change website, taking the time to understand the vision and creating something that feels professional, modern, and easy to navigate. He was always responsive, happy to make changes, and explained everything clearly throughout the process. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and the final result exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about delivering a high-quality website and is great to work with, I couldn’t recommend Lachy more. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Lachie was great to deal with. He was able to help get us out of our previous contract with a dodgy digital marketing agency and built on what we already had with no downtime. Couldn't recommend enough.

Working with Lachlan was unreal. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand not just what our charity does, but why it exists. He transformed my vision into a website that is professional, compassionate, easy to navigate, and truly captures the heart of our mission. Lachlan’s attention to detail, creativity, communication, and patience throughout the entire process were exceptional. Every suggestion he made improved the user experience while ensuring the website remained authentic to our organisation and the families we will support. The final result exceeded all expectations. The website is beautiful, functional, mobile-friendly, and presents The 4S Legacy Inc in a way that I am incredibly proud of. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about delivering outstanding work, listens to your ideas, and brings them to life with professionalism and expertise, I cannot recommend Lachlan highly enough. Thank you Lachy for helping me create a platform that will support Australian families for years to come.

Couldn’t recommend Lachlan enough. He was so easy to work with throughout the whole process and somehow managed to turn all of our ideas into something even better than we imagined. The whole experience was smooth, professional and nothing ever felt too hard. Stoked with how the website turned out.
