About · Queensland, Australia-wide

Websites for businesses without a web team.

Based in Queensland, working with businesses across Australia. Websites built around the work you want more of, written for you, and kept right.

CloudScale Forge builds and looks after websites for small and mid-sized businesses: the site, the words on it, and the checks that stop it drifting out of date again. Quote forms, an enquiry system, and search and analytics come as add-ons.

It's one product, in two branches, quoted at a fixed price before we start. A Managed site runs on our accounts for a monthly fee, with little or nothing upfront. An Owned outright site costs more upfront, and the code and every account are yours. Either way, there are no layers of account management between you and the work.

Everything is written down. Whichever branch you choose, how the site is built and how a change is made or undone is documented, so you're never stuck with a site nobody understands.

Background

What we work with every day

  • 01

    Websites that stay right

    Plain, fast pages on Vercel, with the code in GitHub, every change on record, and automatic checks before anything goes live.

  • 02

    Cloud infrastructure

    Building and running business systems on Amazon Web Services, including DNS, backups and the enquiry system add-on.

  • 03

    Security and compliance

    Experience running systems under formal security standards, the kind large customers audit their suppliers against. Private networking, controlled access and tested backups are the default here, not an upgrade.

  • 04

    Search and analytics

    Google Search Console and Google Analytics set up and verified, and a record of where you rank before and after a switch-over.

  • 05

    Documentation

    Written records of how everything works, so the systems can be maintained by anyone with the right skills.

Who we work with

Who we build for

The industry matters less than the situation. These are the businesses it suits best.

Builders & trades

Builders and trades

Recent job photos up front, quote forms that reach the right person, and the same phone number on every page.

Industrial & marine

Industrial, marine and engineering services

Several distinct lines of work on one site, each with its own page, gallery and enquiry form, and dealer or brand work that needs a proper home.

Solar & energy

Solar and energy installers

Products, rebates and service areas that change often, and enquiries worth too much to lose in an inbox.

Manufacturing

Manufacturers

Capability pages that keep up with what the factory can actually do, and enquiries kept as data instead of scattered across inboxes.

Professional services

Professional services firms

Accurate pages on who does what, with every change checked and approved before it goes live.

What these have in common

A website that has been redone more than once and drifted out of date each time. Phone numbers, figures or services that don't match from page to page. A decision maker who can approve a page without a long internal process. And a preference for a site that's live in weeks, not a project that runs for months.
