About Keen Digital
One developer. Direct access. No runaround.
I’m David, the developer behind Keen Digital. I build websites and online stores for small businesses on the Gold Coast.
Keen Digital runs on a simple idea: a website shouldn’t take months, cost more than the quote, or leave you talking to someone who’s never touched the code. One developer, builds done in code instead of page-builder templates, and a price you see before any work starts.
When you work with me, you deal directly with the developer — not an account manager, not a project coordinator. Just the person who designs, builds, and launches your site.
How I work
Transparent pricing
Every project gets a clear, itemised quote before we start — build, hosting, and any extras broken out separately. No hourly guesswork.
Direct access
You talk to me — the developer who builds your site. No middlemen, no handoffs, no miscommunication.
No lock-in
You own everything. Your site, your code, your content. Hosting is billed weekly and support only when you need it — no lock-in, take your code anywhere.
Tools & tech
I work with the platforms that fit your business best. Most small businesses get a site built on Next.js with Payload CMS — it’s fast, code-managed, and avoids the plugin bloat and update headaches that come with page builders. If you need an online store, I build on Shopify. And for businesses that need a mobile app or something more bespoke, I build from scratch with tools like Next.js and Expo.
I don’t push a particular technology. I recommend what makes sense for your situation and budget.
