Your Website. Built Right. Kept Sharp.

Design. Manage. Optimise.

I design and build websites for Australian businesses, then stay on to keep them fast, secure, found on Google and converting. Already have a site, built by AI, a template or a developer who's moved on? I'll take it from there.

The Problem

Launching A Website Is The Easy Part.

  • ✕
    Built fast with AI or a template, then never touched again
  • ✕
    Slow load times and failing Core Web Vitals quietly costing you rankings
  • ✕
    Broken links, forms and integrations nobody notices until a customer does
  • ✕
    Not indexed, or buried on page five of Google
  • ✕
    Traffic arrives but doesn't turn into enquiries or sales

Website Management & Optimisation

Your Site, Looked After.

AI tools and site builders have made launching a website quick. Keeping it fast, secure, findable and converting is the ongoing work, and most businesses don't have the time or the know-how. That's where I come in.

⚡

Performance & Speed

Core Web Vitals, image and script optimisation, and load-time fixes so pages feel instant on mobile.

🔎

Technical SEO & Indexation

Search Console, sitemaps, schema and metadata so Google and AI search can find and understand your site.

🛠️

Updates & Changes

Content edits, new pages, fixes and improvements handled for you. Send a message, consider it done.

🛡️

Uptime, Security & Backups

Monitoring, SSL, form and integration checks, and backups so problems are caught before customers see them.

📈

Conversion & Testing

Clearer journeys, stronger calls to action and A/B tests that turn more visitors into enquiries and sales.

📊

Monthly Reporting

A plain-English GA4 report each month: what changed, what's working and what I'm doing next.

Built your site with AI or a template?

I'll audit it, fix what's broken, tune it for speed and search, and keep it performing, without starting again from scratch.

About

Hi, I'm Hutch.

I'm Michael Hutchison, founder of Trailhead Co. I've spent my career in digital, running e-commerce websites, product launches and testing programmes for national and international brands, and designing and building websites for businesses across Australia.

Today I work with everyone from SaaS startups to e-commerce brands on site builds, Shopify, and the ongoing management and optimisation that keeps a website earning its keep. You deal with me directly, from first audit to monthly report.

I'm based in the Blue Mountains, NSW, where you'll also find me exploring our amazing wilderness out on the trails.
