One bright developer.
Burvic started in 2025. Small businesses were paying agency prices for junior work and template sites. So the person you hire is the person who builds your site.
The short version of a long story
Most small businesses pay agency prices and get unacceptable work. Burvic strives to make your website the best it can be, with constant contact while it is being built.
The model is simple and it has not changed. You talk to the person building your site constantly, because there is only one. Quotes are fixed. Deadlines are real. And the phone gets answered after launch, not just before it.
How that compares.
What you usually get from a one-developer studio, a larger agency, and a do-it-yourself builder. Generalisations, plainly labelled as such: ask any agency the same questions and compare the answers.
| Topic | Burvic | A larger agency | A DIY builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you talk to | The developer who builds your site, start to finish | Usually an account manager; the builder changes by phase | Nobody; support articles and a chatbot |
| The price | Fixed in writing before work starts, ex GST | Often an estimate that grows with change requests | Low monthly fee, but your time is the real cost |
| Copywriting | Written for you, included in every package | Frequently an add-on, or left to you | You write everything |
| Launch date | Agreed in writing; 10% back if we miss it and it’s on us | Rarely guaranteed | Whenever you finish |
| Who owns it | You: code, content, design files and accounts | Varies; check the contract for licences and hosting lock-in | The platform; you rent it |
| After launch | Optional care plans from $50 a month, answered by the same person | Retainers, usually from a support desk | Templates and forums |

The road so far.

Burvic starts from one idea: cheap, reliable websites for Aussie businesses.

Fixed quotes, care plans, and content and SEO on every build. Same rule, same developer, still answering our own tickets.
The person you'll actually talk to.
Matthew Williamson
Founder & Developer
Designs, builds, writes and launches every Burvic site himself, then answers the support tickets afterwards. Before web he spent three years building and running game servers (Minecraft, GTA, FiveM and Discord projects), where things break in front of a live audience and you fix them fast. That ethic runs through every project now.
Work with someone who'll know your name.
No account managers, no ticket number purgatory. Just the person who builds it, on your project.
