How we work

We speak business. The tech follows.

We've built and run businesses ourselves. We know what it's like to market your brand, watch a competitor land the job you'd quoted on, or lie awake wondering where next month's customers are going to come from. So when you sit down with us, you're not explaining your business to a room of techies. You're talking to people who've been in your seat. We figure out what your business actually needs — then build the tech around it.

The anti-lock-in promise

You own your website. Full stop.

When we launch, you walk away with everything. If you ever decide to leave us, you take everything with you — no “we'll get back to you” delays, no ransom for your own work. Written into the contract.

  • Your code lives in your GitHub repo. Owner access on day one — not “managed by us.”
  • Your domain is registered in your name. Not ours, not a holding account.
  • Your hosting is your Cloudflare account. Pay them directly. Cancel us without losing the site.
  • Your passwords are handed over at launch. Every login. One handover sheet. Done.

Seven steps. Seven days. Every time.

One step per day, brief to live. Seven business days from kickoff to launch — on-time delivery written into the contract.

  1. 01

    Survey + 30-minute discovery call

    You fill in the short brief (about a minute). We jump on a 30-minute call to lock scope, price, and timeline in writing before any work starts.

  2. 02

    Design direction samples

    We send 2–3 design directions tuned to your brand and industry. You review them with us, we settle on the direction that feels right, and lock it in.

  3. 03

    Start building

    We translate the chosen direction into a working build on Astro + TinaCMS — page structure, navigation, components, the bones of every page.

  4. 04

    Finalise design

    We complete the visual polish across every page: typography, spacing, imagery, mobile and desktop. You see it live on a staging URL.

  5. 05

    Copy writing + SEO

    We refine the copy you sent, write what you didn't, and wire up technical SEO — schema markup, meta tags, sitemap, GA4 analytics.

  6. 06

    Final retouches + UI/UX

    One batched revision round, plus our launch checklist: WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, Lighthouse performance pass, link-and-form audit. 24-hour turnaround.

  7. 07

    Handover

    We point your domain at Cloudflare, flip the site live, and email you the handover sheet — every login on one page, plus a 30-minute Loom walkthrough.

What clients say.

“We were quoted $2,200 by a local agency for what CatalystHub delivered in seven days for $500. The handover folder arrived on Day 7 — every login, in plain English. I've used three web ‘guys’ before this. None of them were CatalystHub.”
Mark T. Electrical contractor, Joondalup
“Our last designer ghosted us six months in and wouldn't hand over the domain. Vish had the new site live in seven days, with the login details emailed to me on day one. Wish I'd found him first.”
Sarah K. Dental practice owner, Subiaco
“Quoted me a flat price upfront, sent me a one-page PDF of exactly what was in and what wasn't, and that's what I paid. No ‘oh by the way’ invoices. No upsells I didn't ask for. After three quotes from other agencies that all crept north of $1.5K, this was a relief.”
James R. Café owner, Fremantle
Portrait of the founder.

Why CatalystHub exists

Built so small businesses stop getting held hostage by their own websites.

Most Perth SMB owners I meet have been burned at least once — by a freelancer who vanished, an agency that kept the passwords, or a Wix site that broke and nobody knew how to fix it. CatalystHub is the boring, productized answer: a flat price, a tight scope, and everything in your name. If you want, I'll keep the lights on for $49 a month. If you don't, you'll never hear from me again — and your site will keep working. — Vish, founder

The questions everyone asks.

$500 sounds too cheap. What's the catch?
No catch — the real cost of building a website has dropped dramatically if you know which tools to use. Modern static-site generators, edge hosting, and AI-assisted tooling let one operator deliver in seven days what used to take a team of four a month. The work itself hasn't shrunk; the production cost has. We pass that saving straight to you instead of pocketing the difference and charging $3,000 — same site, same standard, fairer price.
Who owns the code, domain, and hosting?
You do. We hand it all over at launch — repo access, domain registrar login, Cloudflare account, every password. Documented in one sheet. The anti-lock-in promise is written into the contract.
Is the website editable for someone with no technical knowledge?
Yes. We build on TinaCMS — the editor feels like editing a Word document. Click into a heading and type. Drag a new photo in to swap it. No HTML, no plugins, no admin panel to learn. At launch we hand over a 30-minute Loom walkthrough that shows the common edits in action, so you can keep the site current without calling anyone.
Can I cancel the care plan?
Any month, with 14 days' notice. We hand the site back the same way it launched — repo, domain, hosting, passwords — and walk away clean. No exit fees. No final invoice.
Do you do tradies / lawyers / dentists / my industry?
Yes. The Specialist build is the vertical version of the same productized system — same delivery, same ownership rules, plus the compliance and integrations your industry actually needs (AHPRA, ACCC, booking engines, Google Business schema). Start with the intake form and we'll confirm fit on the call.
Do you only build websites, or can you help me get customers too?
Both. If you just want a great site you own, that's our one-off builds from $500. If you want the customers too, Growth Pro builds, hosts, and runs a 10–20 page website for you (worth around $2,000) and wires it to a lead engine — missed-call text-back, automatic reviews, a shared inbox, and follow-up — all for $297/month, no setup fee, cancel anytime. See the Growth page for the full breakdown.
