What I've built.

Aria Studio is new. These are the first sites out the door, each one a different brief, a different business, a different problem to solve.

I'm not going to pad this page with projects I haven't done. What you'll find here is an honest early portfolio, with the context behind each one: what the business needed, what was built, and why decisions were made the way they were. If you want to see more, get in touch.

The Beach Cottage Russell website for a holiday home in the Bay of Islands.

Beach Cottage Russell

A holiday home booking site for the Bay of Islands: calendar sync with Airbnb and Booking.com, dynamic seasonal pricing, and a simple admin panel the owner manages himself.

I came to Tim with two holiday rental properties and a vague idea of what I needed. What I got back exceeded everything I expected — and fast.

Within days I had two fully built, professional websites that actually think about my business: integrated calendars syncing with Airbnb and Booking.com, dynamic seasonal pricing, booking request forms, and an admin panel I can use myself without touching a line of code. That last part matters more than people realise. I'm a property owner, not a developer. Being able to jump in and update my own content, pricing, and photos without calling anyone — that's freedom.

Tim doesn't just build websites — he builds what your business actually needs. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

Client work Estate services
The Estate website for a sustainable estate clearance service in Wellington.

Estate

Copy, brand positioning, and a website for one of Wellington's most sensitive service categories: deceased estate clearance. Ranks first, organically, for "estate clearance", and is the business Google's own AI Overview names first for the same search.

I came to Tim with a rough idea of what I wanted. What I got was so much more. Before a single design was drafted, Tim took the time to sit down with me, learn what my business actually does, and ask the kind of thoughtful questions that helped me focus on what the website needed to achieve — not just what I thought I wanted. That process alone was invaluable.

The speed at which he delivered was extraordinary — well beyond anything I'd expected. And the quality matched it. The design and branding work he contributed gave Estate a presence I'm genuinely proud of.

If you want someone who treats your business as seriously as you do, Tim is your person.

I'm actively taking on new projects. Currently, I'm helping a national organisation deepen supporter relationships through digital experiences, and streamlining operations across multiple retail locations for an equipment hire business, including deep AI driven data analysis of their database.
