  • Automated reports and AI that never invents a number
  • Monthly updates, backups and fixes

How we work

  1. A free chat

    Tell us what you want to build or sell, in your own words. No jargon needed.

  2. A written scope and a date

    A plain-English scope, a fixed price and a delivery date, before you commit to anything.

  3. Watch it being built

    A live preview link as we go. If the scope changes, we agree the change and the cost first.

  4. You own everything

    The code, accounts, listings and logins are in your name, with a short handover guide. No lock-in.

In their words

What clients say

“We needed a proper website and business email for our export business and didn't know where to start. Rain Drop Services handled all of it: the website, the domain, and email on our own business name. They explained every step in plain English and handed over all the logins at the end. I'd recommend them to any business owner.”
Ketan PanchasaraCountry Director, Meta Recycling Solutions
“Rain Drop Services built and launched our website as a volunteer project. They took the time to understand what our foundation does and turned it into a clear site that works well on a phone. They were reliable, easy to work with, and delivered what they said they would.”
Ali AhmedCEO, Asian Resource Foundation – USA

Questions people ask

Do I own the website, app or listing at the end?

Yes. Domains, store accounts, map listings and code are set up in your name from day one. We work as a guest on your accounts and hand over every login at the end.

How long does an app take?

A focused first version usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months, plus Apple and Google review time. We'll give you a date in the written scope, and help you cut features to get there sooner.

I've written a book. Can you get it onto Amazon?

Yes. We lay out the interior, design or prepare the cover, write the listing and keywords, and publish it as paperback, hardcover and Kindle on your own KDP account, so the royalties go straight to you.

Can you set up an Etsy shop for printables or digital products?

Yes: shop setup, branding, product files, listing photos and copy, and Pinterest pins to bring in traffic. It's the same process we use for our own shop.

Do you only work with Sydney businesses?

We're based in Sydney and happy to meet locally, but most of our work is done remotely, for clients across Australia and overseas.

Can you promise me first place on Google?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We fix the things that are in your control, never buy or fake reviews, and report honestly on calls, directions and clicks.
