Before and after
Same business. Same photos. Presented properly.
Drag to compare a typical business website with the same business on a Swords build. Same photos, same services, same reviews. Only the presentation changes, and with it, what a prospect assumes about the business.
Shown: Harrow & Vale, our demonstration build. Every concept we send is built from your own work, before any commitment. Open the live site.
Why it matters
Two hundred five‑star reviews, award‑winning work, and a website that undersells all of it. Your customers find you through your reputation. Then they judge you by your website.
Your reputation, made visible
Reviews, licences, awards and years in business, presented where a prospect sees them in the first ten seconds, not buried in a footer.
Projects shown the way the work deserves
Named, located and scoped, with photography given room. A prospect should find a project like theirs and want it.
Enquiries from the right customers
Premium presentation positions you for the customers who choose on quality, not price. The enquiry form is quick and easy on a phone.
What you get
What a Swords site does for you.
- 01
Immediate trust
Google rating, review count, licence, years and awards in the first screen. A prospect knows within seconds that this is an established business.
- 02
Stronger project presentation
Named projects with suburb, scope and photography given space. The work sells the next job.
- 03
Frictionless enquiries
A quote request that takes thirty seconds on a phone, with photos from the camera. One tap to call.
- 04
Fast mobile experience
Most of your traffic is on a phone. The site loads quickly and reads clearly, so nobody leaves before they see the work.
How it works
Typically live in 2–3 weeks.
One point of contact from the first call to launch. Most projects launch within 2–3 weeks of kickoff, provided feedback and content are supplied on time.
- Week 1
Discovery and direction
A discovery call about your business, your best work and the clients you want more of. Positioning, visual direction and a refined homepage concept follow.
- Week 2
Build
The full site: every page designed and built, copy refined from your interview, photography art‑directed, responsive on every device.
- Week 3
Revisions and launch
Two rounds of revisions, quality assurance, performance and SEO foundations, analytics, then launch on your domain with old links redirected.
Measured, not claimed
A premium site should also be a quick one. Here is how this page performs.

Who you’re dealing with
Founder‑led, from first concept to launch.
Swords Design Co is led by Chester Swords, a designer and developer based in Sydney, working with established businesses Australia‑wide. Chester is directly involved in every project, from the first concept to the day the site goes live.
Alongside client work, Chester designed and built VIPMate, a hospitality talent marketplace: the live product, with verified profiles and bookings, and the brand experience around it. That is the experience behind every Swords site: how an enquiry should flow, how trust is shown, what a customer sees first on a phone.
