Services
Most businesses end up stitching together a web developer, a designer, an SEO person, and a copywriter who never speak to each other. I’m the alternative. You work with me directly across every service – so nothing falls through the cracks, and nothing gets lost in translation. And when a job calls for a specialist, I bring in the right one. You get my experience plus the right expertise, never short-changed by working with one person. Based in Wollongong, working with businesses across Australia and beyond.
How I can help
Whatever stage your business is at, these are the core services I bring together under one roof. Each one stands on its own – but the real value is in how they connect. A brand that informs the website. A website built to be found. Design that carries the same voice across everything. Click through to any service for the full detail.
A fast, mobile-friendly website that turns visitors into customers. Easy for you to manage, optimised for Google, and built to work hard for the people you’re trying to reach – wherever they are.
A clear, consistent identity that helps the right people recognise you and remember you. Naming, logos, colour, and guidelines – so you show up sharp everywhere, from shopfronts and signage to social feeds.
Design that helps your message land – campaigns, brochures, posters, digital ads, and social content. A reliable designer on call, so you’re never juggling freelancers or briefing from scratch every time.
Practical AI that saves you time without losing your voice – smarter content workflows, branded chatbots, and custom GPTs. I help you put it to work in ways that actually fit how you operate.
Hosting that just works, looked after by the person who built your site. No ticket queues, no call centres – just someone who knows exactly how your site runs when you need a hand.
Left unchecked, small issues become big ones. I keep your site fast, secure, and current with weekly updates, backups, and checks – so it’s always working as hard as you are, without you thinking about it.

The Difference
There’s a reason everything above lives under one roof. When the same person handles your brand, your website, and your design, it all speaks with one voice. Nothing gets lost between suppliers. You explain your business once – not five times to five people. That’s not a limitation. It’s the whole point.
Tell me what you do, who you’re for, and what matters – one time. From there it carries through everything: the brand, the site, the design. No re-briefing, no starting from scratch each time you need something new.
Because I’m across all of it, I’m not guessing. The person designing your brochure is the same person who built your site and shaped your brand. The context is already there, so the work gets it right faster.
You’re not handed between a salesperson, an account manager, and whoever’s free that week. It’s just us – the same direct line, every time. That’s how the work stays personal and the result stays true to you.
How I Deliver
Every project starts with one question: why? Why this business, why now, and why should your customers care? From there I map out what you actually need – not just what’s trending. The process moves through clear stages, and I keep you informed at every step.
Getting to know your brand from every angle – what you stand for and who you’re talking to.
We lock in a clear, focused brief together. Nothing’s assumed.
The thinking becomes something you can see. Every decision led by the brief.
I shape the work until it feels exactly right. No rushed sign-offs.
It launches cleanly and you’re set up to hit the ground running.
Recent Projects
Here’s a snapshot of recent work – from brand-new identities to complete WordPress sites. Every one built to help a real business connect with the people it’s trying to reach.
FAQ
Pick whatever you need. Plenty of people come to me for a single logo or a one-off brochure. Others want the lot – brand, website, and ongoing support. There’s no package you have to buy into. We start with what’s in front of you, and the rest is there if and when you need it.
Depends where you’re at. Starting from scratch? Brand usually comes first – it shapes everything else. Already have a brand but an ageing website? Start there. Not sure? That’s what the first conversation is for. I’ll point you to the right starting line, and there’s no charge for working it out together.
You explain your business once. Your brand, your site, and your design all speak with one voice because one person is making them. No handoffs, no telephone-game briefs, no junior work dressed up as senior delivery. You get my full attention and 25 years of experience on every job – not whoever happens to be free that week.
All the time. Wollongong’s my base, but my clients are spread across Australia and overseas. Most of the work happens remotely, and it makes no difference to the outcome – you get the same direct line to me wherever you are.
That’s often the best way to do it. When the brand and the website are built side by side by the same person, they fit together properly from the start – the look, the voice, the structure. You’re not handing a finished logo to a separate web person and hoping it translates. It’s all one considered piece.
Of course. If your brand’s working, I’ll build around it and keep everything consistent. I’ll never push you to redo something that’s already doing its job. We start with what you’ve got and only change what genuinely needs changing.
Every project’s different, so there’s no single price. Web design starts from $1,200, and branding and graphic design are quoted per project once I understand the scope. After our first conversation you’ll get a clear, itemised quote – no hidden costs, no surprises.
A straightforward website runs two to four weeks from brief to launch. A brand identity usually takes 3 to 4 weeks. Graphic design jobs are often quicker. Bigger or more involved projects take longer – and either way, you’ll get a realistic timeline upfront that I’ll stick to.
Me – Mark Taffs (Taffy). From the first conversation through to final delivery and beyond. No account managers, no juniors, no being passed around. The person you talk to is the person doing the work, every time.
That’s up to you. I offer ongoing hosting, maintenance, and support if you’d like your site looked after, or I’ll walk you through managing it yourself at handover. Either way, I’m still here – you won’t be left stranded the moment the invoice is paid.
Ready when you are
Whatever stage you’re at – a brand new idea, a website that needs sharpening, or something that’s been on your mind for a while – the next step is just a conversation. No pressure, no obligation.
