Astro 5 Server Islands: static where it counts, dynamic where it matters
Astro 5 quietly shipped one of the best ideas in front-end this year: server islands. You keep the whole page static and CDN-cached, then punch out the one bit that needs to be live — cart count, auth state, prices — and stream it in after.
Watch episodeSupabase RLS without tears: the policy pattern that actually scales
Row Level Security is the best reason to use Supabase and the fastest way to lock yourself out of your own database. Most tutorials hand you a policy that works for one table and falls apart the moment you add a team.
Watch episodeTailwind 4's Oxide engine: 10x builds and the migration nobody mentions
Tailwind 4 threw out the JavaScript config and rebuilt the engine in Rust. Builds got stupid fast and the whole thing now lives in your CSS with @theme. The internet collectively lost its mind — mostly in a good way.
Watch episodeReact 19's use() hook: the end of useEffect data fetching
React 19 shipped use() — read a promise or context right in render, with Suspense doing the waiting. The useEffect-fetch-setState dance that's haunted every React codebase since 2019 finally has an exit.
Watch episodeGSAP is 100% free now — every plugin, including the paid ones
Plot twist: the entire GSAP plugin suite — SplitText, MorphSVG, the lot — is now free. The animation library that powered a decade of award-winning sites just got a glow-up and a price drop to zero.
Watch episodeThree.js goes WebGPU-first: what changes for your 3D sites
Three.js is steering toward WebGPU as the default renderer, and the new node-based material system means you write shaders in TSL instead of raw GLSL strings. If you've been living under a rock: this is the biggest shift in the library in years.

It depends on scope, and we quote the scope rather than a package. A small business site is typically a few thousand dollars; a custom web application with internal tooling, or a full brand plus site plus ongoing marketing engagement, runs higher. Brand and marketing work is quoted per project or as a monthly management retainer. Every engagement starts with a discovery call and a written scope, so the number you see is the number you pay — there are no account-manager margins or hidden third-party costs baked in.
-
Yes. Branding is a service line in its own right, not an upsell attached to a website. That covers brand identity systems, logo design, colour and typography systems, brand guidelines documents, and full rebrands or brand refreshes for businesses that have outgrown their current look. Most clients take the brand work first and the site second, so the website is built from a finished identity rather than inventing one as it goes.
-
Both, and they are separate engagements. Ongoing management covers Google Ads, Meta advertising, SEO and local SEO, analytics and conversion tracking, plus the strategy direction behind them — what to spend, where, and what to stop. Over $8M in ad spend has been managed this way. You can hire us for management without having built the site with us.
-
Yes — custom web application development is the deepest capability here. That includes internal staff tools and dashboards, job and route scheduling, customer portals and booking systems, CRM and API integrations (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Attio), and data pipelines. These are built as real applications on Astro, React and Supabase, not plugins bolted onto a website.
-
The studio is based in Oxenford on the northern Gold Coast, and in-person work covers the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Everything else runs Australia-wide — clients across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria are handled remotely with the same single point of contact. Being local matters for brand workshops and discovery; it does not limit who we can build for.
-
The work is done by Aiden Wood — fifteen years across design, development and marketing. You deal with the person building your project, not an account manager relaying messages. Nothing is offshored and nothing is subcontracted to a white-label agency. That is the deliberate trade: a small studio that answers the phone, instead of a large one where your project is the junior's first job.
Let's build something great.
Every project starts with a discovery call. Come prepared, leave with a plan.
