I Started Rift Digital to Put Small Business Owners Back in Control.
Digital specialist. Margaret River, Western Australia. And the opposite of a traditional agency.
Why I Started Rift Digital
I didn't start Rift Digital because I thought the world needed another digital agency. I started it because I watched people close to me get burned by one.
Small business owners I knew were paying large monthly retainers to digital agencies that ran Google Ads with marginal results and held their websites hostage — they couldn't change a photo or post a blog without paying for it. When the agencies did produce content, it was poor. And when they wanted to leave, they discovered just how trapped they were.
That experience lit a fire.
I rebuilt one business's website on a modern cloud platform and showed the owner how easy it was to manage it themselves. They saved thousands of dollars. Then I tackled their social media — they had over 100 branded profiles, and every scheduling tool charged per profile, making it unaffordable. I found a better way. They saved thousands more.
That's when it clicked: I can do this for every small business owner who's been told that digital has to be complicated and expensive.
It doesn't.
Why "Rift"?
The name is deliberate. A rift is a break — a split from the way things have always been done. That’s exactly what Rift Digital is. I go against the traditional agency model because I’ve seen firsthand how it fails small business owners.
No large retainers. No lock-in contracts. No jargon designed to confuse you. No holding your website hostage. Just honest advice, affordable solutions, and the skills to stand on your own two feet.
WHAT I BELIEVE
The Values Behind Everything I Do
Your Website Is Your Foundation
Your website is your home online — the only piece of digital real estate you truly own. Social media platforms can change their algorithm, suspend your account, or disappear overnight. I build on what you own first and share to socials second.
Empowerment, Not Dependency
I put you in control. I don’t build dependency — I build capability. Whether you manage your own site, hand it to a VA, or ask me to help, you’ll never be held hostage by your digital provider again.
Affordability Without Compromise
Top-tier digital services shouldn’t require top-tier budgets. I don’t take large retainers. I don’t run paid advertising. I believe a small business can be visible organically with the right foundation.
Transparency, Always
No hidden fees. No jargon designed to make things feel more complicated than they are. No lock-in contracts. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and why.
I Value Your Time and Budget
I know what it’s like to run a business.
Every dollar and every hour matters. I won’t waste either.
WHO I HELP
Built for Small Business Owners Who Wear All the Hats
My clients span every industry — retail, hospitality, trades, professional services, ecommerce, and everything in between. But they all have two things in common: they’re time-poor, and they refuse to be ripped off.
They typically fall into two camps:
The Solopreneur
You do everything yourself but you’ve hit a wall with the technical side — SEO, automation, making your tools work together. You’ve either been burned by an agency or can’t justify the cost of one. You’re capable and resourceful, but you need someone to simplify the path forward.
The Growing or Family Business
You want to streamline your digital ecosystem, implement automation, maybe start using AI — but the consulting fees and agency retainers are out of reach. You know there’s a better way but don’t know where to start.
If either of those sounds like you, you’re exactly who I built Rift Digital for.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to the most common questions about my services, so you can make informed decisions with ease.
Is Rift Digital an agency?
No. I’m a digital specialist — one person, not a faceless team. I deliberately go against the traditional agency model because I’ve seen how it fails small business owners. No large retainers, no lock-in, no dependency.
Why did you start Rift Digital?
I watched my husband get burned by a traditional digital agency — large retainers, poor content, and a website he couldn’t update without paying them. I rebuilt his digital presence, saved him thousands, and made it my mission to do the same for every small business owner in the same situation.
Where is Rift Digital based?
I’m based in Margaret River, Western Australia, but I work with small business owners right across Australia. Everything I do is online, so location is never a barrier.
Do I need to be tech-savvy to work with you?
Not at all. Most of my clients aren’t technical — that’s the whole point. Every platform I use is designed to be simple enough for a non-technical business owner, and I walk you through everything until you’re confident.
What industries do you work with?
All of them. I’ve worked with retail, hospitality, trades, professional services, ecommerce, and more. The common thread isn’t the industry — it’s the business owner who wants to take back control and stop overpaying for digital.
