The Short Version
I’m Brad Farleigh, a freelance web developer and automation specialist based in Perth, Western Australia. I’ve been building websites professionally since 2008, spending 17+ years as CTO at Bang Digital before branching out independently. I work directly with small businesses, sole traders, and agencies who need senior-level web development without agency overhead.
What I Do
I build and fix websites across WordPress, Shopify, and Payload CMS. I audit and repair broken GA4 and Google Tag Manager setups. I turn Figma designs into production websites. And I build AI-powered automation that saves businesses real time and money.
When your site is down, your tracking is broken, or you need a quick fix without a two-week agency timeline, that’s where I come in.
