three things, done properly
for new businesses
A clear, fast site that says who you are, what you do and how to get in touch. Set up with your domain and email.
for growing businesses
Quote requests, contact forms and booking links that land straight in your inbox, so you stop missing jobs.
for existing sites
Slow, outdated or broken on phones? I’ll tidy it up or rebuild it without making you start from scratch.
websites and business web-apps
A full website for a local custom trailer manufacturer, built on WordPress with WooCommerce so they can sell trailers and parts online. Range pages, photo galleries, chassis builds and enquiry forms.
I worked closely with the team to work out what they actually needed, and delivered it at a price that made sense for the business.
client website · WordPress and WooCommerce · sunshinecoasttrailers.com.au
Customers pick a trailer package and colours and see it update live in 3D, with orbit controls to look around it.
web-app · built with Three.js, for the same client
A private login-only tool that pulls scattered spreadsheet data into one place so staff can prepare vehicle compliance submissions quickly.
internal business tool · PHP and MySQL
Invoicing and payment-chasing for small businesses: send invoices, take card payments and follow up late payers automatically.
own project · Next.js and Stripe
A dashboard for Australian radio operators: a live map of stations and activations, satellite pass predictions, space weather and a set of calculators. It runs entirely in the browser as a single file, with no backend to pay for.
own project · live on GitHub Pages
A set of small web tools for radio operators: searchable maps built from a directory of over 700 listings, a live activity map with clustering, and a logbook that exports to the formats operators actually use.

Tell me about your business and what you need. Free, no pressure.
You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
I design and build it, you review a live preview and ask for changes.
Your site goes live on your own domain, and I stick around for questions.
local developer
Hey, I’m Sam Phelan. I’m a young student interested in web development and aspects of systems engineering, and I’ve grown up on the Coast.
Growing up in a family business, I understand how small business works — which is why I offer a diverse portfolio of services and build sites that are simple, fast and bring in enquiries.
Some of my favourite hobbies include surfing, amateur radio, and engineering with artificial intelligence.
Here at Sam’s Web Design, I make things work.
