WordPress Website Design
Custom WordPress Websites for Service-Based Business - Built with Branding, Strategy & Heart
Hi I’m Carly! Your website should do more than just look good—it should work for you. I build search engine optimised strategic, user-friendly WordPress websites specifically for local businesses across Adelaide & South Australia – helping you attract & convert the right clients! With a background in marketing, 20 years behind the camera and a genuine love of design I bring more to every project than just a pretty page.
All designed with heart to truly represent you & your brand!
I couldn’t recommend Carly from Black Cat, highly enough she has an incredibly talented eye for design and considers what you want to say to the world via your website and delivers!

well designed website that is a true reflection on your personal brand!
1. WordPress Website Design
Custom-designed, search engine optimised WordPress websites built specifically for your business, your brand and your ideal client. Strategic by design — not just pretty by accident.
2. Brand Identity & Design
Before a single page gets designed, we get your brand right. Logo, colours, fonts, mood and messaging — the visual foundation that makes your business instantly recognisable and consistently professional everywhere people encounter you.
3. Brand Photography
Your clients buy from people they trust — and trust starts with seeing you. As a professional photographer since 2004, I capture you and your business authentically, giving you a library of images built for your website, your socials and beyond.
Most clients work with me across all three — because when your website, brand and photography are built together, the result is something that feels completely, unmistakably you.
Do you work in health, wellness or coaching?
I have a special place in my heart for the wellness world — and I’ve built websites for coaches, naturopaths, therapists, beauty professionals and practitioners who are doing genuinely meaningful work.
If that’s you, I’d love to help your online presence finally reflect it.
Hi I'm Carly
I started Black Cat Website Design Studio because I kept seeing the same thing: talented, hardworking business owners with incredible offerings and a website that didn’t come close to reflecting any of it.
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2004 and studied a Degree in Business Management, with a Marketing major — so when I sit down to design your website, I’m not just thinking about how it looks. I’m thinking about who you’re trying to reach, what they need to see before they’ll trust you, and how to make the path from ‘finding you’ to ‘booking you’ as clear and frictionless as possible.
Based in Brighton, Adelaide, I work with clients across South Australia and Australia-wide. I keep my client list intentionally small so every project gets my full attention — because the work I do matters to me and it should show.
How it works
01
Initial Conversation
Let’s start with a conversation – no pitch, no pressure. I want to understand your business, your goals and where you are at right now. If we’re a good fit, we move forward together.
02
Brand & Strategy Session
Before anything gets designed we do the thinking. Your branding questionnaire, market research, competitor research and SEO Keyword planning all happen here – so evry decision that follows is intentional.
03
Design, Build & Photography
Your website takes shape – custom designed, mobile optimised and SEO-ready. For Adelaide clients, this is where we schedule your brand photoshoot so your images and your site are built to work together.
04
Launch, Train & Hand Over
Your site goes live and I hand you the keys – with training, how-to videos and everything you need to manage it with confidence.Â
