Why it matters

more likely to visit a business with a complete Google profile, including its website.
The difference
What customers see when they look you up.
A great business with no website looks like a closed door online. A good website answers their questions before they’ve even asked.
Without a website
- No menu, prices or list of services to check
- Hours on old listings that may be out of date
- A Facebook page that may ask them to log in first
- After hours, no way to order, book or ask for a quote
With an MJF website
- Your menu, prices and services, all in one place
- Hours that are always right, with a live “Open now” sign
- One tap to call you or get directions
- Orders, bookings and quote requests, day or night
- Your Google rating, front and centre
What you get
Built around how your customers actually buy.
Every site is designed for the business it’s for. A bakery gets an order pad, a tradie gets a quote form, a salon gets bookings. These come as standard.
Orders, bookings and quotes
Customers send them any time, even after you’ve closed, and each one lands in your inbox, ready to confirm.
A live “Open now” sign
Your hours, with a sign that switches between open and closed on its own, so nobody turns up to a locked door.
Tap to call, tap for directions
A call button that stays on screen as they scroll, and directions to your door in one tap.
Your reviews, working for you
Your Google rating and what customers love most about you, right where people decide.
Made for phones first
Most people look you up on their phone, so that’s where we start. Fast, clear and easy to read with one thumb.
Linked to your Google listing
We help connect your website to your Google Business Profile, so people who find you on Google Maps can open it.

About
You deal with one person, start to finish.
I started MJF Web Studio because so many great local businesses, like the bakery with a queue on a Saturday or the tradie everyone recommends, don’t have a website. Their customers have to dig through old listings and Facebook posts to find the basics.
I design each site around the business it’s for, then keep it running and up to date. No call centres and no jargon. When you need something changed, you text or email me, and it’s done.
Questions
Good to know.
Anything else? Ask in the form below and you’ll get a straight answer.
Do I need to know anything about computers?
No. We build it, put it online and look after it. When something needs changing, like your hours, prices or a new special, you text or email us and we do it.
What do I need to give you?
Your menu, prices or list of services, and a few photos and your logo if you have them. We start from what’s already public, like your Google listing and reviews, so there’s very little to send.
Who owns the web address?
You do. It’s registered in your business’s name, so it stays yours whatever happens.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time, with no fee. The site stays up until the end of the month you’ve paid for. After 12 monthly payments, the website files are yours to keep. Before then, you can buy them outright for a one-off $300.
I already have a Facebook page. Isn’t that enough?
Keep it. It’s great for posts. But not everyone uses Facebook, it can ask people to log in before they see much, and your menu and hours get buried. A website shows up when people Google you and works for everyone, on any phone.
How long does it take?
You get your free mock-up first. Once you say yes and send your details, your site is usually ready within 7 days.
Will it put me at the top of Google?
Nobody can honestly promise that. What we do is make sure your site is fast, clear and linked to your Google Business Profile, so people who are already looking for you can find it and act on it.
