About(07)
Hi, I’m Jay, a freelance web developer in Melbourne.
I’m a Melbourne-based web developer and UI/UX designer, as well as the founder of codeJay. I’m also a Fiverr Pro vetted freelancer and Top Rated Seller with 8+ years of experience.
I work with businesses, startups and professionals in Australia and around the world. Because one person looks after your project from first sketch to launch, nothing gets lost along the way. That covers brand strategy and UI/UX design, as well as development and SEO.
Can’t find your answer? Then send me a message on Fiverr, and I’ll reply with the details you need.

How do I hire you?
Through Fiverr. Open my profile, then choose the gig that fits or send me a message with your brief. After that, I’ll reply with questions and a custom offer.
Through Fiverr. Open my profile, then choose the gig that fits or send me a message with your brief. After that, I’ll reply with questions and a custom offer.
Why do you work through Fiverr?
Because it keeps things simple and safe for you. Messages, files, orders and payments all stay in one place, and payment is only released to me when your order is complete.
Do I need a design before we start?
No. I can design your site in Figma first, and you approve every page before I build anything.
Can you build from my Figma design?
Yes. Share your Figma file, and then I’ll build it in WordPress, Elementor, HTML or React, matching the design on every screen size.
Will I be able to edit the site myself?
Yes. You get simple fields (or Elementor, if you prefer) to update text and images without touching code, as well as a walkthrough at handover.
Do you handle SEO?
Every build includes speed tuning and on-page SEO basics. For more, I also offer SEO audits, keyword research, on-page optimisation and link building.
How long does a website take?
It depends on the number of pages and features. Either way, you’ll get a clear delivery time in my offer before we start.
Where are you based?
In Melbourne, Australia. However, I work with clients around the world through Fiverr.
