Excellent
Southcare is a charity in Carrum Downs and we wanted a web page so we turned to Microbite. They were able to provide a ‘mock up’ site so our members could see what was on offer. We worked with Microbite to the stage where we are very happy and impressed with the outcome.
Peter is amazing at his craft. He has been doing an amazing job on our website and his detail to attention is incredible. Peter always provides additional advice to improve your website.
I recommend Peter as a website developer, he has a fantastic eye for unique designs and was able to implement some of the best changes for my website. Peter has always been prompt, reliable and open to ideas. He can seemingly do anything, so he’s very highly recommended.
Peter did an excellent job in designing my Ikebana Floral Therapy website. The final product was very functional, tasteful, and aesthetically nice to look at. Peter was a good listener and knowledgeable in web design. His service delivery was responsive and on time. I am delighted with the website, and I would recommend Microbite Websites to anyone who is looking to create a customised website.
Peter has been fantastic. He encompassed my brand perfectly creating a beautiful and professional website. Clients often tell me they love the look my website and the tone of voice used throughout as it’s very elegant and professional but still has a ‘local’ soft feel to it. Exactly what I wanted. Thanks Peter 🙂
As a small bussiness owner it has always been on the back of my mind to start a website but had never gone ahead with it due to not knowing where to start and what to write. Peter and Jayden had made my experience extremely easy. From me just sending them pictures and logos and from them making it into what it is, is so pleasing due to me being time poor. Couldn’t be happier with the final results. Definitely 100% recommended. From Kris at SA Weldfab
The guys at Microbite were extremely fast and reliable with their turnaround on our website. Couldn’t be happier with our new website! Thanks guys
Peter got me out of a bad situation with another Web Developer. He listened, advised and provided a professional website with clarity and links to all the necessary Add On apps required. Excellent flow of conversations and speedy responses to queries.
Peter’s skill set was amazing, he worked with us for exactly what we needed.

Peter was assigned to take on the complex task of setting up our websites. Peter’s skill set was amazing, he worked with us for exactly what we needed.

Peter & Jayden approached my business as I didn’t have a website. They kept in contact with me until I was ready to proceed. The process was seamless, communication was excellent, pricing was very reasonable, and the end product has met all of my expectations. We had a few changes needed to the initial website that was built before going live, and every change request was met, in a timely manner and was not an issue. Highly recommended. Thank you again!
Peter and Jayden at Microbite Websites are fantastic. Peter especially was so helpful and patient throughout the process of building and tweaking our website. We are so pleased with the site and would highly recommend Microbite to others looking for websites, brand builds and everything in between.
Team was easy to deal with, affordable and did a great job of the website.

“Peter completed the task to convert my ancient Dreamweaver website to Wordpress in a very professional and prompt manner. The end result is better than expected and Peter’s expertise has provided me with the framework to take it to the next level. I have no hesitation to recommend Peter to any prospective clients and I certainly won’t need to search further afield for any future IT problem solving. Many thanks Peter, job well done.” Best regards Rudi & Avalon @ Palm Beach Bed & Breakfast
