Owned outright: code, data and hosting are yours
Systems built for the way your business actually runs.
Ordering, booking and back-office systems, websites and online stores, built and hosted for Sunshine Coast businesses. Owned outright, wired into the tools you already use, supported by the person who built them.
Where the Drag Is
Off-the-shelf software makes you work its way.
Most small businesses run on a patchwork: a booking platform here, a spreadsheet there, orders coming in by text and phone, invoices typed up twice. Each tool is fine on its own. The gaps between them are where the hours go.
Orders by phone, text and email
Retyped into the system, then into the invoice, then into the pick list. Every retype is a chance to get it wrong.
Platforms that stop at the edge
Your booking or e-commerce platform does the sale, then leaves the seat allocation, manifests, paperwork and follow-ups to a whiteboard.
Rent that never ends
Site builders, store platforms and app stacks that take a monthly fee and a cut, and own your customer data.

Three Things We Do
Ordering and booking systems. Websites, stores and local SEO. The tooling in between.
Local Stack builds the system around the business, not the business around the system. Three service lines, one person doing the work.
Ordering & booking systems
Trade ordering portals, order-to-pick-to-invoice flows, booking sites and manifests. Connected to Xero, your scales, your delivery runs.
Order to Invoice
Websites, stores & local SEO
Fast, owned sites and custom stores, and the local SEO that gets them found: Google Business Profile, local pages and a plan worked through month by month.
Found Locally
Integrations & ops tooling
Add-ons around the platforms you keep: Rezdy, Xero, POS. Dashboards, manifests, automations, and AI where it earns its place.
Built To Fit
Recent Work
Live sites, built and hosted here
Four of the sites Local Stack has built and runs. The systems behind the counter, from trade ordering to tour manifests, are written up on the work page.
Booking website · Rezdy API
Noosa Horses
A full booking website with Rezdy running underneath: ride catalogue, product pages, live availability, Stripe checkout and branded confirmation emails. A demonstration build for a fictional operator, showing what a tour business can have instead of the standard booking widget.

Online store · Own checkout
Honey Monster
Raw honey from a few hives in the Noosa hinterland, sold through a store the business owns: products, cart and Stripe checkout, pickup and local drop-off, and its own customer records. No platform fee and no cut of each sale.

Online store · Moved off Shopify
The Brew Store
A Noosaville home brew and distilling supplier moved off Shopify onto its own store. The whole catalogue came across: beer, spirits, grain, equipment and CO2 refills, plus a recipe builder for working out a brew.

Tour website · Moved off WordPress
McLeod Tours
A family-run Margaret River tour operator moved off WordPress onto a site built for touring: tours and itineraries, a dining guide and online booking, with every page carried across and no rankings lost. Behind it sits the office side: contacts, travel-agent bookings and invoicing.

Why Local Stack
One person, start to finish
The focus is not novelty. It is building systems that fit the operation and still make sense to run day to day.
Direct
You talk to the person who scopes it, builds it and answers the phone afterwards.
Built around your operation
No templates. The system fits how the business already works, not the other way round.
Keep what works
Platforms that earn their keep stay. We build the pieces around them.
You own the result
Code, data and hosting are yours. Leaving is a handover, not a hostage negotiation.
Questions
What people usually ask first
Do I have to replace the systems I already use?
No. Platforms that earn their keep stay, whether that is Rezdy, Xero or your point of sale. Most of the work is building the pieces around them: the ordering portal that feeds Xero, the manifest that reads from Rezdy, the site that sells through your own checkout.
Who owns the website or system when it is finished?
You do. The code, the data and the domain are yours. If you ever move on, it is a handover of everything, not a hostage negotiation.
How is the cost worked out?
After a first conversation you get a short written scope with an hour estimate and a fixed cap, so you know the most it can cost before anything is built. Hosting and support after launch is a flat monthly amount you can cancel.
Can you move my site off Wix, Squarespace or Shopify?
Yes. Products, pages and customer records come across to a site you own, built beside the live one and switched over once it is ready, so nothing goes dark in between.
Do you only work with businesses in Noosa?
Local Stack is based in Noosa and most clients are on the Sunshine Coast, where meeting in person is easy. The work itself runs online, and one of the systems in daily use is for an operator in New Zealand.
What happens after it goes live?
It is hosted, monitored and kept up to date by the person who built it. When something needs changing you call or email that same person, not a ticket queue.
