Mdwebdesign

Based in Burleigh Waters on the Gold Coast, this small studio (team of one to ten, founded in 2019) works with small and local businesses across the Gold Coast, Tweed Shire and Northern NSW, including trades, healthcare practices, education providers and community organisations. Its client list includes an arborist in Kingscliff and Tweed Heads, an EdTech company building to DET NSW compliance standards, a long-running Gold Coast joinery business, a surf life saving club, a dental practice in Mudgeeraba, and a tutoring centre in Tweed Heads. The studio positions itself around local knowledge of the area's suburbs and search behaviour, aiming to generate genuine enquiries rather than vanity metrics. Services cover custom WordPress builds and hand-coded static sites, WooCommerce e-commerce stores with inventory, payment and shipping setup, and Australian-based hosting with backups and security updates. Local SEO work includes Google Business Profile optimisation, local citations, on-page SEO and ranking strategy aimed at trades and service businesses, alongside Google Ads campaign management structured around client margins. Social media services cover strategy and content management for businesses without time to post regularly. The stated method favours a lean, low-plugin approach intended to keep pages fast-loading and sites stable even without ongoing maintenance contracts, with an emphasis on advising clients on whether SEO, ads, or a smaller site update is the more appropriate solution rather than defaulting to a full rebuild.
