We believe every business deserves a professional website. Not just the businesses with thousands of dollars sitting in the bank. That's why we created Rent-a-Website.
After more than 16 years in the web industry, one thing became impossible to ignore: too many small business owners were putting off getting a professional website.
Not because they didn't want one. Because life got in the way. There was always something that felt more important to spend money on — equipment, stock, wages, vehicles or simply keeping the business moving. At the same time, we saw businesses being quoted thousands of dollars for a website, making the decision even harder.
We knew there had to be another option.
That's why we created Rent-a-Website — a cost-effective way for small businesses to invest in a professionally designed website without the large upfront expense.
When I started helping businesses build websites more than 20 years ago, the internet looked very different. What hasn't changed is why I do what I do. I enjoy helping people take an idea, a business, or a challenge and turn it into something they can be proud of and creates opportunities for growth.
Over the years, I've worked with many different industries across Australia, helping them with websites, SEO, and digital marketing. While the tools and technology have evolved, my approach has stayed the same. Listen first. Keep things simple. Be honest. Explain the "why," not just the "what."
I know that for many business owners, the online world can feel overwhelming. That's why I focus on making the process clear, collaborative, and free from unnecessary jargon. My goal is for every client to feel informed, supported, and comfortable asking questions along the way.
The most rewarding part of my job isn't launching a website or seeing search rankings improve. It's hearing a client say, "This finally feels like us," or seeing the confidence they gain when their business is represented online in a way that truly reflects who they are.
After more than two decades, that's still the reason I love what I do.
"I've used Rent-a-Website several times and the service is always excellent. The team listened and gave great advice. The process is easy and worry-free, and the cost is very affordable — a must when starting out."
"We've worked with Select Marketing for all of our website development, marketing and SEO across our travel brands, and highly recommend them to anyone looking to boost their marketing online."
"We've found Renae and her team highly qualified, and able to identify and recommend only what we need for our website. Affordable, professional and stress-free from start to finish."
"They suggested and implemented solutions to improve our advertising, helped us save money on web design and administration, and set up automation in our booking process that helps us run more effectively."
"It was fantastic working with Renae for my website build. Her expertise was so helpful and she takes the time to really look at things from all angles. I now have a beautiful website which is configured to drive foot traffic into my business and deliver leads in real-time. Thanks Renae!"
