Brand, websites, and AI systems built to make your business impossible to ignore.
Most agencies build everything. We build the things that actually move the needle — sites that convert, AI that saves you real hours, and brand work that doesn't get scrolled past.
Custom-built, fast as hell, designed to convert. Live in two weeks, not two months. Looks like a 2026 product, not a 2018 brochure.
Practical AI for small and medium businesses — the parts of your week an agent could do for you. Intake forms, scheduling, follow-ups, content drafts. No demoware. No buzzwords. Real time back, every week.
Logo, colours, type, voice. A system your clients remember and your competitors can't copy without it being obvious.
SEO, paid ads, social — run by people who know what they're doing. Reports you can read in five minutes. Numbers we'd defend in a pub.
Copy that sounds like a human and converts like a closer. Site, ads, emails, social — the lot.
Monthly retainer for ambitious operators. Treat us like a CMO and CTO on speed dial — because that's what we are.
Things we've shipped. Things we're cooking. Every project below is built end-to-end by us — strategy, design, copy, build, launch. No handoffs to juniors, no white-label partners, no chasing emails for three weeks.
300+ clients from word of mouth, but the web didn't match. We shipped a custom site in 7 days with WhatsApp booking, lead funnel and social integrations — built to convert every Instagram follower into an enquiry.
View live →Traditional Chinese therapy with a multilingual clientele and HICAPS-eligible services. We built it in four languages (EN · 中文 · 한국어 · हिन्दी) with HICAPS-aware booking and a service architecture organised around how clients actually search.
View live →Currently cooking — AI workflow consulting and brand foundations for an emerging health platform. Strategy, agents, identity. More to share once it ships.
Most agencies make this feel hard. It isn't. Here's exactly what happens, when, and what we'll need from you.
One call. What you do, who your clients are, what's not working. No pitch deck — we take notes and tell you honestly what we'd build.
Sitemap, content outline, brand direction. You approve once. We don't redo this work three times — that's how we keep things moving.
Design, copy, build, integrations — in parallel. One round of feedback. Regular updates so you always know where things stand.
Domain, hosting, Google, forms, analytics — all configured. Keys handed over, plus a first month on call for refinements.
Productised. Transparent. No surprises. Three starting points to sense-check fit. Need something in between? Just ask.
For service businesses who need a real website — fast.
For operators ready to upgrade their whole online presence.
For ambitious businesses who want a CMO + CTO on speed dial.
Stains is two people. Every email, every call, every line of code or pixel of design comes from one of us. That's not a limitation — it's the entire pitch.
Michael brings nearly a decade of sales, management, and customer-facing experience across premium service environments.
After years of selling to real people in real conversations, he understands the moments that turn a maybe into a yes.
At stains, he turns that experience into sharper brands, clearer messages, and websites built to earn trust before the first conversation.
Matt brings investment banking, strategy, and deal experience from some of the world's largest financial institutions.
His edge is structure: taking complex information, finding what matters, and turning it into systems built to perform.
At stains, he builds the commercial engine behind each project — using systems, AI, and discipline to make sure every brand and website has a clear job to do.
"Michael and Matt took the time to actually understand my business. They didn't just build a website — they built something that works for me."
"The website is beautifully made — it really matches my vision. I'd tried for months to explain what I wanted to my advertising team and eventually gave up. Michael and Matt just got it."
For a Launch build, yes — that's the productised process at work. No agency layers, no committee approvals, no redoing the strategy three times. You approve the plan once, we ship in parallel, you get one round of feedback. We've shipped both APF and EYM in 7 days when scope allowed. Larger scopes (multilingual rebuilds, full AI integrations, e-commerce) we quote 3–5 weeks.
Use them if your goal is "a website exists." If your goal is "a website that converts visitors into enquiries and makes you look more credible than your competitors," you need someone making opinionated decisions about positioning, structure and copy. AI tools don't do that yet — and most agencies don't either, frankly.
We sit with you for half a day, map where your team's time goes, identify the parts a custom AI agent could replace or accelerate, then build it. Real example: client intake that took 45 min/lead now takes 4 min/lead with a higher conversion rate. We're not selling enterprise AI — we're giving small and medium businesses hours back.
You do. Domain, hosting, code, design files, brand assets — everything in your name from day one. We're not a SaaS; you're not locked in. Want to leave us? You take it all with you.
Common. We'll audit what's there, identify what's worth keeping, and rebuild the rest. Most existing sites have one or two solid pieces (a logo, SEO equity) and a lot we'd recommend rewriting. Audit is free on a discovery call.
Sydney. Most clients are in NSW but the work happens over Zoom and Loom — half our clients we've never met in person and the work is no different for it. AUD invoicing, Australian ABN, replies in your timezone.
50% to start, 50% on launch for fixed-scope projects. Retainers monthly. AUD invoices. Registered Australian ABN.
"Doesn't work" can mean a lot of things. If it's a bug or something we missed — we fix it, no question. If it's "the site looks great but enquiries didn't go up," we'll diagnose and recommend the next move. Most of our work comes from referrals, so we're deeply incentivised to keep you happy.
Tell us about your business and what you're trying to do. We'll reply within 24 hours with honest thoughts on whether we're the right fit — and what we'd do either way.
