Ripple Effect Online Websites That Get You Found In The Whitsundays
I'm Nath, a website designer and SEO specialist, Ripple Effect Online is my business in Airlie Beach. I design and rank websites for tourism operators, tradies and local businesses across Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Proserpine and Bowen. Hand-coded, built to rank.
Why Local Businesses Call Me
I fix all four. One local bloke, straight answers, and a website that pulls its weight. Here's what I do.
What Ripple Effect Online Does
Website Design
Your local website designer for Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays. Hand-coded, mobile first, with SEO built in from day one, from $999.
See how →Local SEO
Get into the Google map where locals actually pick a business, and up the search results, from $299 a month.
See how →Google Business Profile
Your profile set up, verified, optimised and posting. It's the first thing customers see, so it works as hard as the website.
See how →Local Visibility Audit
The Sonar Report. How your business shows up on Google, your website, your listings and your reviews, with a fix list in plain English.
See how →Tourism Websites
Booking-ready sites for tour operators. I've worked in Whitsundays tourism since 2001, so I know how your customers book.
See how →Trades Websites
Sites that make the phone ring. And if I'm ranking you, I'm not ranking your competitor. One SEO client per trade, per area.
See how →Hosted In Australia
Every site runs on Australian servers with LiteSpeed, so it loads fast for local customers. If something breaks, I deal directly with Aussie support and it gets fixed quickly. No offshore ticket queues.
Domains Registered In Australia
Your domain is registered in Australia through Hosting Australia, in your name. You own it, it stays onshore, and renewals never get lost with some overseas reseller.
Also on the menu: AI chatbots that answer enquiries around the clock, and site care plans with updates and backups handled.
Designed From The Ground Up To Rank For Your Business
Most cheap websites start as a template someone else designed for a business that isn't yours. You get their layout, their bloated code, and the same look as a hundred other sites.
I don't do that. Every page I build is hand-coded in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, written for your business, your services and the towns you work in. Nothing on it is there by accident, and nothing is there that Google has to wade through.
Clean code loads faster, works properly on phones, and makes it easy for Google to understand what you do and where you do it. That's the whole point.

Rated 5.0 By Locals
"Very professional and knowledgeable. Created a website for my business and has been performing well above expectations ever since."
"Highly recommend Ripple Effect. Nathan exceeded my expectations with both the website build and SEO. The design is fresh, modern and easy to navigate. He really understood what I was after."
"Nathan is a great example of balance. A down to earth Kiwi, a family man, and a dedicated, passionate guy who knows his stuff and loves what he does."
I Only Rank One Of You.
I'll build a website for anyone. But Google has one top spot, so I only take on one SEO client per trade, per area. While you're on SEO with me, your trade and your town are yours.

You Own Everything
Some web designers keep your domain in their name or lock your site to their platform, so leaving means starting again. I don't work like that. If you ever want to move on, you take the lot with you.
Your Domain
Registered to your business, not to me. It's your name online and it stays that way.
Your Website
The design, the code and the files are yours once the site is paid for.
Your Content
Every word and every photo. I write the copy for you, and it's yours to keep.

Your Google Business Profile, Analytics and Search Console stay in your name. I'm added as a manager, and you can remove me any time.
