Studio
Small studio, direct line
Proaktivis is an independent web studio in Brisbane. Since 2022 it has designed, built and redesigned more than 45 websites for independent businesses across Australia.
The idea is simple. Good businesses deserve websites that are as considered as the businesses themselves, and people should be able to find them. There are no account managers and no hand-offs: the person you talk to is the person designing and building your site.

Why Proaktivis
- 01
Found first
Most customers search for you long before they visit. Every site is built to load fast, work on any phone and show up when people look.
- 02
One pair of hands
The same person designs and builds your site. Nothing gets lost between a designer and a developer, so what you approve is what launches.
- 03
Weeks, not months
Most projects launch in two to four weeks, without cutting the corners that matter.
- 04
Part of your team
We learn how the business actually runs, and stay on after launch for the updates, questions and next steps.
How a project runs
- 01 · Days 1–3
Discover
A call to understand the business, the customers and what the site needs to do. You get a clear plan, scope and quote before anything is designed.
- 02 · Week 1–2
Design
The homepage direction first, then the key pages, on desktop and mobile. Two rounds of feedback are built in.
- 03 · Week 2–3
Build
Built on the platform that suits you: Astro, Shopify, Squarespace or hand-written code. Fast, accessible and set up for search from the first line.
- 04 · Week 3–4
Launch & care
Testing on real devices, domain and analytics set-up, a walkthrough of how to update things, then ongoing care if you want it.
Services
- 01
New websites
A first website, or a first proper one. Designed around how your customers actually find and choose you.
- 02
Redesigns
For sites that are slow, dated or broken on phones. We keep what works, rebuild what doesn't, and relaunch without losing your search presence.
- 03
Shopify stores
Stores that feel like your brand and still make buying easy, from product pages to checkout.
- 04
Care & maintenance
Updates, fixes, new pages and seasonal changes after launch, so the site never falls behind the business.
- 05
SEO
Technical foundations, local search and page structure that help the right people find you on Google.
- 06
Branding
Logos, type, colour and the small rules that make everything you publish look like it came from the same place.
Built on
- Astro
- Custom HTML/CSS/JS
- Shopify

Behind the studio
Hari
Founder, designer & developer
Hari started Proaktivis in 2022, alongside his university studies, out of a love for design, code and the businesses behind them. He designs and builds every site himself, and works best as part of the team: learning how a business actually runs, not just how it should look.
