Web development services · Working with clients anywhere
Canino Digital is an independent web development studio. I design and build websites and web apps for small businesses, from a straightforward site that says who you are to one that connects to your booking and payment platforms. AI has changed what's possible: I can build, or rebuild from the ground up, on solid modern foundations at a fraction of what it used to cost.
Launch offer
Sign up to a 12-month care plan at AUD $99 a month and I’ll build your site for free. It’s designed and coded for your business, never a template, and it stays looked after for as long as you’re on the plan.
Please note: this offer covers a standard business or personal profile website, with an optional enquiry form forwarded straight to your inbox. If your business needs something more advanced, with integrations to third-party platforms for payments, calendars or bookings, let’s talk it through and quote the build on exactly what you need.
Build normally AUD $1,499. Care plan is AUD $99 a month for 12 months, $1,188 in total, all prices including GST for Australian customers. After 12 months the plan continues month to month and you can cancel any time.
How we work
I plan the bigger picture, not just the site.
Twenty-four years of professional experience, fifteen of them in the technology industry automating processes and leading technical implementations.
Alongside that, five years supporting my partner through the day-to-day running of a small business, with direct responsibility for every technology decision it depended on: accounts and identity, file storage, device management, point of sale, the website and mobile ordering.
So I've been on the client side of this. I understand what a small business actually needs from its website and its technology, what it doesn't, and how little time you have to deal with any of it.
I use professional AI development tools in every build, and I'm open about that. They're the reason a custom site built from the ground up on modern foundations costs $1,499 here rather than $15,000, and why a rebuild is now a realistic option instead of ‘fixing up’ an old site forever. What the tools can't do is know your business, tell a good design from a plausible one, or get your booking platform, domain and site working together. That part is me: knowing what to ask for, what to reject, and what good looks like.
You're paying for judgement. The speed is a bonus.
Build pricing
Fixed price, agreed in writing and paid up front before I start. All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST for Australian customers. If you’re overseas, GST doesn’t apply and checkout converts to your local currency, showing the exact amount before you confirm.
A few different homepage directions for your business, after a short questionnaire or a 15-minute chat. Credited against your build if you go ahead.
A site that says who you are, what you do and how to book or get in touch. Ideal for a single property, a tradie or a practitioner.
Anything that has to talk to something else: embedded booking widgets, live API integrations, payment platforms, portals, web apps. These are always quoted after a complimentary consultation call, never priced off a list.
Mockups work like a trial: the $199 fee is credited against a build started within 90 days. Change your mind before the build is complete and ready for handover and I refund 50% of the build price. Mockup fees are non-refundable. See the project terms.
Launch paths
You own your domain name whichever you choose, and you're never locked in. If you're not sure which of these you are, it's the care plan: nothing breaks while you decide.
Let me manage everything for you. The site stays online, up to date and looked after, and you get on with running your business.
Change requests cover small text, photo and content tweaks. New features and integrations will need to be quoted separately. Cancel any time, with the option of adding on one of my advertised handover paths, or I can simply deactivate the hosting if you prefer.
For technically confident people who would rather not set up hosting from scratch. I help you choose a platform, get the site running properly on it, and walk you through how it fits together.
For people who already run their own hosting, or have someone technical who does. I transfer the code into your preferred platform with written notes, and you take it from there.
On either handover option, backups become your responsibility. I do not keep a copy or provide any backup or recovery service, so if the code is deleted or corrupted on your side it may be unrecoverable. Sites on the care plan are version controlled by me and can be rolled back instantly.
Portfolio
Recent work and background.
A direct-booking website for a short-stay host with multiple properties, fully integrated with OwnerRez through its API. Two-way sync keeps the calendar, pricing and availability aligned across Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and the other channels, so a direct booking blocks those dates everywhere the moment it happens.
An app that tells you when it's a good time to call friends, family and colleagues in other time zones. Native on iOS and macOS, and installable as a progressive web app on Windows, Android and anything else with a browser. Designed, built and shipped end to end, including the App Store listing and the privacy policy.
A Mac menu bar app that gives Apple Mail the keyboard shortcuts you already know. Pick Gmail’s single keys (E to archive, J and K to move, R to reply), Outlook for Mac or Outlook for Windows, or build your own set, and see every shortcut and where it works from the menu bar. Designed, built and shipped end to end, including Apple notarisation, licensing, the product page and a guide for each shortcut set. Free to try for 7 days, then a one-time USD$9.99.
Get started
Two ways in. Order mockups and see your site before you commit to a build, or book a consultation so I can scope something bigger.
A few homepage directions for your business, back within a few business days. Credited against your build if you go ahead.
You'll land on a secure payment page to pay the $199. Non-refundable, since the work is delivered either way, and credited against a build started within 90 days.
Got a logo, brand guide or photos? Reply to the confirmation email with them attached and I'll work from those.
For booking widgets, API integrations, payment platforms or anything else the site has to talk to. Tell me what you need and I'll set up a discovery chat to scope it and quote it properly.
I'll come back within two business days to arrange a time, and you can reply to that email with any logos or brand guides attached. Nothing is charged until we've agreed a written scope and price.
Or email me directly at this address.
