What I do
AI web design with the important parts built in.
AI lets me research, explore, write, prototype and develop more efficiently. Human judgement decides what belongs on the page, how it should look and what will actually help your customers take the next step.
Collaborative Website Builds
Bring what you already have — copy, photos, ideas, screenshots or something you created with AI. We can use it, improve it or build a better direction around it.
- Your ideas are welcome
- Existing content can be reused
- Built around what you want
SEO & AIEO Foundations
The structure behind the design matters. Every website is built to be easy for people, search engines and AI systems to understand.
- Page titles & descriptions
- Heading & content structure
- Internal linking & schema
Website Hosting

AI web designer Brisbane
AI gives us more possibilities. Experience decides what makes the cut.
I use AI as a serious design and development capability — not as a one-click website generator. It helps accelerate research, content planning, interface ideas, prototyping, coding and refinement. My job is to direct those tools, challenge the output and turn the strongest ideas into a professional website that fits your business. It's this combination of experienced design judgement and modern AI tools that makes me Brisbane's AI web design expert for small business owners.
Faster from idea to working website
AI can shorten the repetitive parts of design and development, which means we can get to useful concepts and working pages sooner.
More ideas can be explored
Instead of being locked into the first template or layout, we can test different structures, copy directions and visual approaches before deciding what works best.
Built from scratch, not boxed into a theme
I use AI-assisted development to create lean custom HTML, CSS and JavaScript where appropriate, giving us more control over the finished website and less unnecessary overhead.

Have you already used ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Adobe Creative Suite or another AI tool to come up with website ideas? Bring them with you.We can keep the good parts, improve the weak parts and make them work as part of the finished site.
Your ideas + my direction + AI
You do not have to arrive with a perfect website brief.
Because we are building from scratch, collaboration can start with whatever you already have. You might have finished copy, a few rough notes, an old website, a logo, photos, a competitor you like, or an AI-generated idea you want to explore.
Already have content?
Send your existing service descriptions, company information, photos, brochures or old website copy. I can organise and adapt what is useful rather than making you start again.
Found something with AI?
If ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Adobe Creative Suite or another tool has suggested copy, a feature, a layout or an idea you like, show me. I am happy to collaborate with it rather than insist everything starts from me.
Know what you want on the site?
Tell me. The advantage of a custom build is that the website can be shaped around your business and priorities instead of squeezing your business into a pre-made template.
Website package special
Your first year of website hosting is FREE.
Every new Web Designer Brisbane website is hosted on our website hosting service. Your first 12 months are included in the website package, so there is no separate hosting charge in year one.
Website hosting is the technical home your website needs to stay online, secure and fast. Keeping the website with us also means I can manage the hosting environment I built it for and help when something needs attention.

Why work with me
A Brisbane web designer using a different approach.
Most web designers can promise professional design, responsive pages and good service. My point of difference is how I work: experienced design judgement combined with AI-assisted research, content, prototyping and development — and you collaborate directly with me throughout the project.
AI expertise + direct communication
You deal directly with Mark — the designer using and directing the AI tools, not a salesperson passing instructions down a chain.
AI output is never accepted blindly
AI can generate possibilities quickly. I decide what is useful, rewrite what is weak and apply design judgement so the result feels considered rather than generated.
Brisbane knowledge
A Brisbane-based web designer who understands local service businesses and the importance of local search.
Keep collaborating after launch
If you later discover an AI-generated idea, new content or a feature you want, send it through. I can refine it and add it without you having to rebuild the whole site.
The process
From your ideas to an AI-assisted website built around your business.
You do not need to know exactly what the finished site should look like. Bring what you have and what you want. I use AI to accelerate the process, then shape the result with you.
DISCOVER
Start with what you already know
We work out what you offer, who you want to reach, what content you already have and what you definitely want included.
STRUCTURE
Research & explore with AI
I use AI to help explore structure, search intent, content ideas and different ways the website could communicate your offer.
DESIGN
Prototype and collaborate
We turn the strongest direction into a visual website. Your feedback, your references and even ideas you found through AI can become part of the next iteration.
BUILD
Build with AI assistance
The approved direction becomes a responsive custom website with clean code and technical SEO/AIEO foundations.
LAUNCH
Launch & keep improving
Your site goes live with the first year of website hosting included. New ideas, content and AI-assisted improvements can continue after launch.
Meet your web designer
I’m Mark. A Brisbane designer who has embraced AI as the new web design advantage.
I’m Mark Zerafa, a Brisbane-based freelance AI web designer. My design career started long before generative AI, which is exactly why I see AI as a resource rather than a replacement for design thinking. I use it to move faster, explore further and build more efficiently while keeping the final judgement human.
You can be as involved as you want. If you already have copy, ideas, screenshots, an existing site or something useful you created with AI, bring it into the project. We will use what helps and improve what does not.

Practical experienceDesign, modern web development, hosting and technical setup.
Long-term supportHosting, website updates and technical support available after launch.
Built around your business
A website that makes you easier to understand — and easier to choose.
A good website should answer the questions a potential customer has quickly: What do you do? Can you help me? Why should I trust you? What do I do next?
That is why I design around the whole customer journey, not just how the homepage looks. The words, page structure, calls to action, mobile experience and technical setup all need to work together.
Clear before clever.
Your visitors should not have to work out what your business does. I organise the content so your services, advantages and next step are obvious, while still giving the site its own visual character.
Professional where it matters.
Fast loading, responsive layouts, clean code, sensible navigation and strong technical foundations help create confidence in your business and a better experience on every screen.
Ready to be found.
Every new website includes solid SEO and AIEO foundations so Google, search engines and AI systems can understand the business behind the site. Ongoing ranking work is separate, but the website starts with the right structure in place.
Questions
Before we get started.
A few of the questions people usually ask when looking for a Brisbane web designer.
How much does a website cost in Brisbane?
It depends on the number of pages, functionality and content required. I offer clear website packages for small businesses, with larger or more specialised websites quoted around the actual requirements.
Does using AI make website design faster?
Yes, AI can speed up research, content planning, prototyping, coding and revisions. The exact project time still depends on the size of the site and how quickly content and feedback are available, but AI removes a lot of repetitive work from the traditional process.
What AI tools do you use for web design?
I use a mix of leading AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Adobe Creative Suite where they are useful for research, content, problem-solving, prototyping and development. The tools can change as the technology improves; the important part is that I direct the process and review the output rather than relying on one-click generation.
Can I bring website ideas or content I created with AI?
Absolutely. If you have used AI to create copy, plan pages, find design ideas or think through a feature, send it to me. I am happy to collaborate with what you have already done, keep the useful parts and turn them into something that works properly within the finished website.
Is hosting included with a new website?
Yes. Website hosting is required for websites built by Web Designer Brisbane, and your first 12 months are FREE with every new website package. It includes the hosting environment, SSL security, CDN, backups, security monitoring, DNS/launch configuration and technical hosting support. Ongoing website hosting is charged after the included first year.
Can you guarantee that my website will rank #1 on Google?
No reputable web designer can guarantee a #1 Google position. What I can do is build the site with strong SEO foundations and create a structure that gives it the best possible starting point for organic search.
Website updates
Already have a website that needs improving?
New website design is the main focus, but I can also update, modernise or rebuild an existing website when the current site is worth working from.
Ready when you are
Let’s build your website with AI — and with your ideas in the room.
Tell me what your business does, what you want on the website and what content or ideas you already have. If you have experimented with AI already, bring that too. We can start from wherever you are.
