Websites built for enquiries

Rod Fernandez Design builds fast, custom-coded websites for local service businesses across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Central Coast. We combine clear messaging and conversion-focused design with modern frameworks (Astro, Next.js) and AEO - structuring sites so they're picked up by AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers, not just traditional search. The result is a site that loads fast, earns trust quickly and turns visitors into real enquiries. We also handle CRM automation, WordPress speed and performance rescues, and ongoing website care so your site keeps working after launch.

Rod FernandezFounder, Web Designer & Developer

Rod has built 300+ websites since 2000 for service businesses across Lake Macquarie, Newcastle and the Central Coast. Musician at fifteen, trained in graphic design and audio engineering, sign writer in the nineties - every craft learned by hand.

What Sets Us Apart

You deal with the person who builds your site

No account managers or hand-offs. The person you talk to is the person who designs, builds and looks after your website, from the first call to launch and beyond.

Custom-coded, not templated

Sites are hand-built on modern frameworks like Astro and Next.js, so they load fast on a phone and are easy for Google to read. Recent builds score in the high 90s on Google Lighthouse.

Built for AI search as well as Google

Pages are structured so AI tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers can understand and recommend your business, not just rank it in traditional search.
