about

Do you want a website that won’t cost you a fortune yet looks professional and attractive; a website that is built using modern standards and is therefore easy to maintain, accessible and search engine friendly? You’re at the right place (unless you’re only here for the oysters)!

Have you already got a website but it could do with a little freshening up?

Let me review it for you and give you a quote to provide a contemporary look and feel.

Who’s behind rockoyster?

I’m Graham Bannister and rockoyster is my one-person (not counting Mrs B who keeps the books, does the proof-reading and points out where I’ve got the colour schemes wrong) web design and development business.

We are based in the picturesque fishing and oyster-farming village of Greenwell Point on the NSW SouthCoast but will soon be re-locating to Tasmania; to Little Oyster Cove as chance would have it.

Why did you call your business rockoyster?

Well it was going to be rocklobster but the B-52s had already cornered that one. Besides, amongst its many other charms Greenwell Point produces some of the finest Sydney rock oysters ever to be washed down by a distinctly varietal sauvignon blanc. I can watch them grow from my office.

Please do not contact me for supplies of oysters; I only do web-related stuff.

What do you know about web design then?

I’ve been dabbling with the web since the early days and have developed skills in the following areas:

I have built numerous web sites over the past four years. The best way to see if you think I know what I’m doing is to have a look at my portfolio and talk to the people I have helped.

What’s your rationale for this site?

As well as advertising my wares I am using this web site to experiment with various web design technologies. It is therefore something of a work in progress and is subject to periodic cosmetic and sometimes more radical surgery.
