“Our business has been revolutionised by solutions delivered by Northbase that we never envisaged we could have.”
What we do
Three things, done well. Websites and applications, the marketing that brings people to them, and the support that keeps it all running.
01
Your website is your hardest-working team member — available 24/7, speaking to every potential client who finds you. We design and build custom websites from the ground up, focused on speed, clarity, and conversion.
Every site we deliver is fast, mobile-first, and built to grow with your business.

A great website means nothing if nobody finds it. SEO, Google Ads, and social media advertising that put you in front of the right people.
No lock-in contracts. No fluff. Just clear strategy, honest reporting, and campaigns that earn their keep.

Sometimes off-the-shelf tools don't cut it. We build web applications, internal tools, automations, and integrations tailored precisely to how your team operates.
We work closely with you from scoping through to launch and ongoing support.

In good company
From household names to the team next door. A few of the clients we've helped along the way.
In their words
Don't take our word for it. Here's what some of our long-running clients have said.
My industry is a tad boring. I wanted to stand out as something fresh. Northbase helped me deliver on that vision.

More than the three pillars
Hosting, maintenance, branding, search — the steady, less glamorous work that keeps websites and campaigns running properly over time.
Updates, security, performance monitoring — your WordPress site looked after, end to end.
Ongoing technical support, proactive maintenance, and fast response when something breaks.
Logos, brand systems, and visual identity that reads as confidently in print as it does on screen.
Local SEO, technical SEO, content, and link building — honest, results-focused work for Australian businesses.
Fast, reliable, fully managed hosting — tuned to the sites we build and look after.
Domain registration, renewals, and professional DNS management — so your online presence stays locked in.

Common questions
Things people ask us. Before they get in touch — and after.
Northbase is based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. We work with businesses across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and Australia-wide — most of our client work is handled remotely, so location is never a barrier.
We offer website design, website development, SEO, Google Ads management, social media advertising, conversion tracking, WordPress management, website maintenance, and branding.
Northbase has over 25 years of experience in digital marketing and web development, with more than 500 clients served across Australia. CEO Stuart Cox leads the agency.
No. We don't believe in lock-in contracts. Our ongoing retainers operate on a month-to-month basis. We earn continued business by doing good work, not by trapping clients in agreements they can't exit.
Get in touch via the contact form or email us at hello@northbase.au. We'll have a no-obligation conversation about what you're trying to achieve, and come back with a clear proposal if we think we're the right fit.
