About Us

A family
Business
building for locals.

We're Amir and Sheida — a husband and wife team from Perth who believe local businesses deserve world-class digital experiences.

We started TheWorksite because we saw too many great businesses stuck with outdated websites that didn't reflect their real quality. We knew we could change that — and we do, one project at a time.

Our Story

We didn't start in a boardroom.

TheWorksite started from a simple observation: the businesses that do the best work often have the worst online presence. Cabinet makers with 20 years of experience and a website from 2011. Mortgage brokers helping families buy their first home with a Facebook page and no website at all.

We saw the same pattern over and over. Great people, great work, invisible online. And the "solutions" available to them were either overpriced agencies that treated small businesses as an afterthought, or cheap template sites that looked like everyone else's.

So we built something different. A studio small enough to care about every project, but skilled enough to deliver work that competes with agencies ten times our size. We handle everything — design, development, SEO, automation — so our clients get one team, one relationship, and one point of contact who actually knows their business.

We keep our client base small on purpose. Not because we can't scale, but because we believe every business deserves the same level of attention whether they're our first client or our fiftieth.

"We didn't start TheWorksite to build websites. We started it to help local businesses finally look as good online as they are in real life."

— Amir Charkhi, Founder

How We Work

Six things we'll never compromise on.

These aren't marketing slogans. They're the rules we run our business by — and the promises we make to every client.

Honesty Over Everything

If you don't need us, we'll tell you. If your idea won't work, we'll say so. We'd rather lose a sale than waste your money. Every recommendation we make is in your best interest, not ours.

Quality Without Shortcuts

Every line of design and code is done in-house. We don't outsource, we don't use templates, and we don't cut corners. Your project gets the same level of care whether it's a five-page site or a full digital overhaul.

Plain English, Always

We don't hide behind jargon or confusing tech-speak. We explain everything in language that makes sense. If you don't understand something, that's our problem to fix — not yours.

Your Business, Your Website

No lock-in contracts. No holding your site hostage. You own everything we build, and if you ever want to leave, we hand it all over — code, content, assets, the lot. You stay because it's working, not because you're stuck.

Relationships, Not Transactions

We don't do one-off handovers and disappear. We build long-term relationships with our clients because that's how great work happens. When your business grows, we grow with you.

Technology That Serves People

We love technology, but we never let it get in the way. Every tool, every automation, every feature we build serves one purpose: making your life easier and your business more successful.

Why Us

What makes us different.

There are many web designers in Australia. Here's why local businesses choose to work with us instead.

✓

You deal with the people who do the work

No account managers, no project coordinators, no offshore developers. The person you talk to is the person who designs and builds your site.

✓

We understand small business

We're a family business ourselves. We understand cash flow, wearing multiple hats, and making every dollar count. We're not guessing — we're living it.

✓

Design, development, SEO, and AI — under one roof

Most studios do one thing. We do everything your business needs online, so you're not juggling three different agencies who don't talk to each other.

✓

We stick around after launch

Launching your site isn't the finish line. Our care plans keep your website performing, updated, and ranking — month after month. We're in it for the long haul.

✓

Modern technology, not WordPress

We build on the same platforms used by Figma, Dropbox, and Upwork. Faster, more secure, no plugin headaches. Your website won't break the day after launch.

Our Process

Four steps. Zero surprises.

Our entire process is designed around transparency and trust. We know hiring a web designer can feel risky — especially if you've been burned before. That's why we show you mockups before we build, keep you in the loop at every stage, and never lock you into contracts.

Discovery Call

We meet for a coffee or jump on a video call. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation about your business, your goals, and where you want to go. We'll give you straightforward advice — even if that advice is "you don't need us right now."

Strategy & Design

We map out your site structure, research your competitors, write the copy, and design a full concept mockup. You see exactly what your website will look like before we build a single thing. No surprises, no guesswork.

Build & Launch

We build your site — responsive, fast, and SEO-ready from day one. You get a staging link to review, request changes, and test everything before launch. Most builds go live within 2–4 weeks.

Grow & Support

After launch, we don't disappear. Our care plans keep your site updated, secure, fast, and climbing Google rankings month after month. Clear monthly reports, priority support, and a team that's always here when you need us.

FAQ

Still have questions?

We're always happy to chat. No question is too basic — reach out anytime.

Who are the people behind TheWorksite?

We're Amir and Sheida — a husband and wife team based in Perth, Western Australia. Amir handles design, development, SEO, and strategy. Sheida supports operations and client relationships. When you work with us, you're working with the people who actually do the work — not a sales team.

How long have you been doing this?

TheWorksite is a young studio, but our skills aren't. Amir has years of experience in technology, web development, and digital strategy. We launched TheWorksite because we believed local businesses deserved better than what was available — and our growing client list proves we were right.

What types of businesses do you work with?

We work with local and family businesses of all kinds — cabinet makers, mortgage brokers, financial advisors, retailers, professional services, and more. If you're a business that cares about doing great work and wants your online presence to match, we're the right fit.

Can I meet you in person?

Absolutely. If you're in Perth, we're happy to meet for a coffee. For clients outside Perth, everything works seamlessly over video call — the process and the quality are identical regardless of distance.

What happens if I'm not happy with the design?

You see a full design mockup before we build anything. You approve the direction, provide feedback, and we refine until you're genuinely happy. We include revision rounds in every project, and we don't go live until you say so.

Do you offer payment plans?

We typically work with a 50% deposit to kick off the project, with the balance due at launch. For larger projects, we can discuss a phased payment structure. We'll always be upfront and transparent about costs before anything starts.
