Why G J Web Services Started

I started G J Web Services because I kept hearing stories from business owners about horror stories with getting websites developed.

These stories ranged from:

  • paying $100’s for someone from overseas to build their site which they never got what they wanted because of language barriers and just not understanding to
  • being charged $1000’s for very simple static website with no bells or whistles to
  • a few businesses even got charged thousands of dollars and never got a website at all.
  • Than you have the free websites, oh my goodness the troubles people have with them can be very frustrating… Some start out free and if you want anything from a custom Domain name to some functionality you have to pay an arm and a leg. Of course the other problem is some of these “free” websites are not even mobile responsive and you get zero search engine optimisation included. So you may as well stick your website in your top draw because you don’t know how to have people find it.

With all of this in mind I got very frustrated because I am passionate about local small businesses and helping them to establish and I knew I could do something to help provide these businesses with an understandable, affordable, quality expandable alternative.

I find most times with small businesses they only need a small website to start with that can then be expanded down the track when the business expands. Websites like this do not need to cost thousands of dollars.

My Qualifications

My Family
My Husband, myself, my 2 of my children and my Mum.

I graduated from Griffith University in 2014 with a Double Degree in IT  & Multimedia with an Award Major in Interactive Entertainment and Games Programming and a major in Computers & Intelligent Systems and a Certificate IV in Small Business Management through Sarina Russo in 2016 when I was the recipient of a NEIS (New Enterprise Incentive Scheme) Grant to help me launch my business.

I love to utilise my skills to enhance the world around me and help businesses and community groups thrive.

I have developed many websites for small business which I continue to host and my existing clients are very happy. My favourite thing to hear from my clients is their enthusiasm and excitement when I design something for them that is either exactly what they wanted or even better than they could have imagined. From my perspective that is priceless!
