Nathan, Master Finish Sanding “Stuart was very quick and delivered a great product in such a short amount of time! He’s easy to work with and helped me through the processes of the website editor after completing my website. I’m very thankful for the ease of use and well rounded website he built me.”
Jade, tattoo artist “I’m a small business owner that is self managing a small website. Within hours Stuey sent me a comprehensive report detailing exactly what I needed to do to improve my website’s visibility, user experience and what was potentially losing me customers. Stuey could then fix as much or as little as I wanted based on my budget.”

The human in Human Web Co.
I started Human Web Co to work directly with the businesses the websites are for, without an agency in between.
I build for people who are out on the job all day, so the website has to answer the questions and win the work while you're busy. You'll always be talking directly to the person doing the work. Before Human Web Co I spent five years building websites in an agency team. I'm based in south-east Melbourne, happy to meet in person, and I work with businesses Australia-wide. When the site is live I don't disappear: I can keep it updated, secure and backed up, and if something needs changing, you know who to call.
Something stranger in mind? I take on the odd passion project and wild idea too. If yours sounds a bit out there, I'd like to hear it.
How does your website stack up?
Type in your web address and see what a customer's phone and Google see. It takes about 30 seconds, it's free, and nothing on your site is touched.

A call
We talk through the business, your customers and what you need from the web.

Your job gets its own portal.
Bigger builds come with a private project portal from day one. What needs you, where the job is up to, and every file and sign-off, in one place. Check it whenever suits you.
