"I’ve been working with Richard and Julie since 2017. From the very beginning, they truly got what I was trying to build, not just a website, but a platform that reflects our mission, values and impact. They’ve consistently translated my vision into digital experiences that are intuitive, beautiful and aligned with the evolution of both brands. Whether it’s launching a new service, refining messaging, or ensuring our sites remain fast, functional and future-proof they’ve been responsive, collaborative and deeply invested in our success. I genuinely consider them an extension of our team."

Julie and Richard are unfailingly calm under pressure, lightning-fast with answers, and wonderfully patient with our quirks. Most importantly, they get us: Julie’s words capture our voice perfectly, and Richard’s UX turns our products into an intuitive, customer-friendly journey. Our website is the doorway for most of our customers, and we trust RJ New Designs completely with that space. Thank you for another brilliant job. You are the best.”

"Cairns Pool Care engaged RJ New Designs to build our website. The most important thing we learnt from the whole experience is to trust these guys. TAKE their advice … Their service goes far beyond building a site then waving goodbye. It is a collaboration … we took all their advice and IT ALL WORKED. We would happily share our journey (that is still ongoing) with anyone interested, suffice to say, we have absolutely no regrets and the investment has already repaid itself 10-fold."
