Websites
and software,

when we said
it would be.

Powtec is a small Australian team of senior engineers. We build websites, the applications behind them, and the integrations that tie them to the systems you already run — all of it to a written scope, a fixed price and a launch date agreed before you spend a dollar.

Typical build time

Landing page
1–2 wks
Business website
3–4 wks
Web app or integration

What we've built

One recent build, in detail — the brief, what we made, and a live link you can click through and judge for yourself.

  1. M-Modular

    Construction · Light gauge steel & modular framing

    A national manufacturer of light gauge steel and modular framing needed a site that could carry six product lines and a growing project portfolio, and turn builder and developer enquiries into quote requests.

    A CMS-driven site on Next.js and Sanity: per-solution detail pages, a project portfolio filterable by build type, an enquiry and quote flow, and image handling that stays fast on site photography.

What we do

  • Websites and web applications

    From the first wireframe to launch day — marketing sites, and the applications behind them: quoting, workflows, approvals, roles and permissions, reporting. Fast, accessible, and built to be edited by you.

  • Integration and automation

    Making systems talk to each other — ERP, CRM, accounting, payments, third-party APIs and the data that moves between them. Plus AI where it earns its place: document handling, triage, internal search, with a human in the loop.

  • Architecture and consulting

    Sizing and designing a build before anyone writes code, choosing a stack, reviewing an architecture you've been handed, or unpicking a project that's gone sideways — before you commit the budget.

  • Embedded engineering

    A senior engineer inside your team for a defined period — your repository, your backlog, your standups — when you need the depth or the capacity without hiring for it.

  • Run and support

    Updates, backups, monitoring, security patching and performance work on an agreed monthly scope, so what we built doesn't quietly rot after launch.

No surprises, by design

Every stage has something you receive and a time it happens by. The date we commit to is written into your quote.

  1. Talk

    A call and a written summary of what you need.

    Within 1 business day of you getting in touch

  2. Scope and quote

    A written scope, a fixed price, and a launch date. Plus what would count as a variation, so there are no surprises later.

  3. Design and build

    You see it working on a private link from the first week, and we adjust as we go rather than at a big reveal.

    Weeks, not months — to the date in your quote

  4. Launch and look after

    We go live, hand over the repository, domain and hosting, and show you how to edit your own content.

    Support scope agreed before launch, not after

You're never locked in

  • The domain stays in your name, registered to your business.
  • Hosting is your account. We work in it; we don't hold it.
  • Who owns the code is written into your quote before work starts — not argued about at the end.
  • If you ever leave, nothing is held back to make it difficult.
You'll never get an invoice you didn't agree to in writing first.

The questions people actually ask

How much will it cost?

It depends on scope, so we quote rather than publish a price list. You'll get a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and we'll tell you early if what you want doesn't fit the budget you have — that conversation is cheaper for both of us up front.

What happens if the project runs over?

You hear about it the moment we think the date is at risk, not on the day it slips. If the delay is ours, we absorb it and the price doesn't move. If the scope changed, or we're waiting on content or approvals from your side, we'll agree a new date with you in writing before carrying on — so nothing moves silently.

What if we don't like the design?

You see the design in the browser early rather than as a big reveal at the end, so surprises are rare by design. Your quote includes two rounds of changes on the agreed direction. And if the first concept isn't working at all, you can stop there and pay only for the work done to that point — we'd rather part cleanly than build something you don't want.

Can you work on a site or system we already have?

Yes, and it's a lot of what we do — speed and accessibility fixes, redesigns on top of existing content, moving off a platform you've outgrown, adding to an application that's already running, or taking over a codebase whose original developer has gone quiet.

Do you build more than websites?

Yes. A good part of the work is applications rather than pages: quoting and pricing, workflows and approvals, roles and permissions, reporting, and integrations with the systems you already run on. The terms don't change with the complexity — a written scope, a fixed price and a date, agreed before work starts.

Can you work inside our team rather than as a vendor?

Yes. Some clients want a finished thing handed to them; others want a senior engineer in their repository, their backlog and their standups for a stretch. Both are agreed the same way: scope, rate and an end date in writing before the first day.

Who actually does the work?

The people you deal with are the people who build your site. We don't subcontract and we don't send work offshore — every project is done in-house by senior developers. That means no junior learning on your budget, and no account manager relaying messages between you and whoever is actually writing the code.
