Reid Studio — Gold Coast
I rebuild outdated business websites for Gold Coast small businesses, then handle everything after — hosting, edits, SEO. Text me a change, it’s live tomorrow. No tickets. No quotes. No “I’ll get back to you Monday.”
The status quo
Three emails unanswered. The contact form on your site’s been broken for two months.
It still says 2022. The photos are stock. The mobile version’s a mess.
So you stop asking. The site stays stale. You lose work to competitors with better-looking sites.
A better model
Most agencies are built for enterprise clients. Most freelancers can’t afford to do small jobs profitably. Wix is “free” because you’re doing all the work yourself.
I built a different model: a productized service for small businesses. I rebuild your site fast because I have a system. You pay monthly because I’m not pretending it costs $5,000. And I answer your texts because we’re in this for the long haul, not one transaction.

About
I’m Daine. I run multi-site operations for one of Australia’s biggest QSR franchise groups by day, and I build software products by night — including Review Flow, ColdPulse, and NourishRx.
I started Reid Studio because I kept seeing the same thing in Gold Coast small businesses: brilliant operators with terrible websites, paying too much for too little from agencies and freelancers who don’t actually care.
I care. I live here. I’ll text you back.
Recent work
A small, growing portfolio. Updated each week as new sites ship.
Frequently asked
You don’t pay. I rebuild it free for the first 48 hours, and there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee on the build cost.
Anything that takes me less than an hour — text changes, photo swaps, new pages, pricing updates, SEO tweaks. For bigger projects (logo design, e-commerce setup), I’ll quote separately and you’ll know upfront.
SMS, email, or a shared Notion page — whatever’s easiest. Most edits are live within 24 hours.
Yes. After 12 months, the code is yours. You can take it anywhere.
After the 12-month partnership, you can cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice. The site stays live until you migrate it.
I have a system. Big agencies charge $5k+ because they’re paying account managers, designers, devs, and project managers. I’m one operator with great tools.
