Sydney's Upper North Shore

See your business online, before you spend a cent.

Donaldson Digital builds real, working websites for small local businesses that don't have one. We start with a free, no-obligation mockup, so you know exactly what you're getting before you decide anything.

How It Works

No forms, no risk, no pressure.

  1. We talk about your business

    A quick conversation about what you actually need, in person if you're local or by phone if you're not. No sales script.

  2. We build a free mockup

    A real, working site built from your actual details, such as your address, hours and services, rather than a generic template. You pay nothing to see it.

  3. You review it on a private link

    Take your time. Share it with whoever you need to. Ask for changes. Nothing goes live until you're happy with it.

  4. It goes live, on your own domain

    Fast, reliable hosting on your own domain. You're never locked into us to keep the site running.

Why Donaldson Digital

Built properly, priced fairly.

Genuinely local

Based in South Turramurra, on Sydney's Upper North Shore. Happy to meet in person, not just trade emails.

Real content, no fluff

Every site is written from your actual business details. No fabricated reviews, no stock photos of someone else's shop.

Fast, simple, reliable

Static, no-nonsense websites with no clunky page builder and no plugin updates to babysit. There's no reason for it to break.

Fair pricing, both ways

Priced to be sustainable for us and fair to you. It's not a race to the bottom, and it's not a markup because we know you.

Pricing

Two ways to work together.

Whichever you choose, the free mockup comes first. You'll always see the real thing before agreeing to anything.

Hosted

$100/mo
  • Hosting + domain admin handled for you with the scale of Google's infrastructure
  • Inherently secure, since a static site has no customer data to leak
  • Minor updates on request to text, images or opening hours

Growth

$500/mo
  • Everything in Managed
  • Scheduled social media posting
  • Priority turnaround on change requests
  • Monthly face-to-face check-in

Indicative pricing. The right fit depends on what your site actually needs, so talk to us and we'll recommend the simplest option, not the most expensive one.

Or, if you'd rather pay once and own the site outright:

From $2,000 one-off build

A complete, custom static site, yours outright, hosted free by Google's Firebase Hosting on any domain name you like.

Ian Donaldson Owner, Donaldson Digital

I started Donaldson Digital because of one simple need. The local businesses I visit every day around South Turramurra are underrepresented online, and I wanted to help them become easier for their own customers to find and reach.

I take that same approach with every business I work with: real details, a real mockup and no risk before you decide. It's open to any small business on the Upper North Shore, whether we already know each other or not.
