Kurl Web

Based in East Maitland, Kurl Web is a web design and development studio serving businesses throughout the Hunter Valley, Newcastle and Maitland, with an increasing number of clients in Sydney and interstate handled via online meetings. The agency works with businesses of varying sizes, from sole traders and start-ups to established multi-site operations, as well as not-for-profits and community groups. The team has received recognition through the Hunter Region Business Excellence Awards, including a win in 2013, a highly commended mention in 2016, and another win in 2018. The agency's core offerings include website design, eCommerce store development, SEO and Australian-based WordPress hosting. Development work is primarily carried out in WordPress, with WooCommerce and Shopify used for online stores; the team can also assist with portal platforms such as Wix, Weebly, Squarespace and GoDaddy, though these are not their preferred systems. SEO work covers both technical optimisation and on-page content to improve visibility on Google and Bing. For smaller budgets, a one-page website solution is available for start-up businesses, with the option to expand into a multipage site over time. Once a project is completed, training sessions are offered covering tasks such as updating text and images, blogging, and, for eCommerce clients, managing products, shipping and product images.
