About

I build the kind of websites businesses used to pay agencies thousands for. Now I’ll teach you.

I’m Baxter Hanley. I run Baxoptimized from the Illawarra, building premium sites for builders, trades and health practitioners across the region and Sydney.

I got here the same way most of my students will: frustrated. Frustrated by templates that look like templates. By agencies quoting thousands and taking weeks — then charging again every time a word needs changing. By “learn web development” roadmaps that assume you have three spare years.

Then the tools changed. A modern, AI-assisted workflow now lets one person — with taste and a system — design, build and launch sites that genuinely compete with agency work. Fast. I know because it’s how I build for paying clients every week.

This course is that system, end to end. Nothing held back, no theory you won’t use.

The method

Why this stack beats WordPress-on-shared-hosting.

speed

Faster than anything on shared hosting

Sites served from a global edge network load in a blink. Speed wins — for visitors and for Google.

security

Secure by default

No plugin roulette, no update anxiety. Free SSL, no database to hack, nothing to patch at 2am.

control

Easier to change

Your site is yours. Change a word, a section, a whole page — without emailing an agency and waiting a week.

cost

Basically free to run

The stack’s free tiers cover a small-business site comfortably. Ongoing cost: effectively $0.

Real work, not claims.
