From Bellingen to Coffs Harbour, Dorrigo to Macksville — hand-built websites for local businesses, made by a senior product builder who lives here. Not a template, not an agency junior, not offshore.
Across the Mid North Coast, brilliant local businesses run on word of mouth and a Facebook page — while the searches that should find them ("plumber Nambucca", "cafe Dorrigo", "massage Urunga") land on a directory, a competitor, or nothing at all. Word of mouth built your reputation; a website is what lets strangers find it.
City agencies won't return calls for a small-town job, and DIY builders leave you with a template and no answers. The gap in between — senior work at country prices — is exactly what Ape Labs is for.
Every site is designed and built by me, around one job: turning your visitors into customers. Fast, mobile-first, made to look like nobody else's, with on-page SEO, local schema and analytics from day one. Then $49/month keeps it hosted, updated and healthy — and you deal with me, not a ticket queue.
One-pagers from $499. Typical 4–5 page sites from $999. Own-it-outright builds from $990. For established businesses that need strategy, copy and custom design, business builds typically run $2,500–$6,000 with Care+ from $249/month. Full pricing on the services page.
Local proof: we took hypnotist Krystal Brown to page one of Google nationally for her main search term — and into Google's AI answers. Read how →

More customers than ever find businesses through search and AI assistants. Tell me your website and I'll check where you show up for the searches that matter — and whether the AI answers recommend you or your competitors. You'll get a one-page snapshot with the three things holding you back. Checked by me personally, not a bot — in your inbox within one business day. Free, specific to your business, and yours to keep whatever you do next.
Based in Bellingen and working across the region — Coffs Harbour, Urunga, Dorrigo, Sawtell, Woolgoolga, Nambucca Heads, Macksville and the towns between. Most of the work happens online, so distance is never the problem.
A DIY builder gives you a template that looks like everyone else's and no idea why it isn't ranking. A local senior builder gives you a site made for your customers, accountability from someone who'll still be here next year, and a person you can actually call.
One-pagers from $499 plus $49/month hosting and care; typical 4–5 page sites from $999. One-off builds from $990 if you'd rather own it outright. For established businesses that need strategy, copy and custom design, business builds typically run $2,500–$6,000 with Care+ from $249/month.
A 20-minute call, no obligation. Tell me about your business and I'll tell you straight whether a site's worth your money yet.
