About Me
Hi, I’m Jacob Negri, a Cairns web designer and Australian Website Hosting provider, nice to meet you.
Living in Cairns, Australia, whenever I’m not behind my laptop developing well-optimised websites, I’m probably out enjoying a trip to the Great Barrier Reef!
In today’s age of web design and marketing, transparency has never been more important. So here’s a little bit more information about me, the projects I enjoy working on, and what services I have to offer.
Why Do I Build Websites?
My journey as a ‘web’ designer began back when I was wrapping up high-school, where I stumbled into the events industry.
Between doing nightclub flyer design and event photography, I became quite busy, quit my job and decided I was destined to be my own boss. This involved me building my very first DIY WordPress website for my ‘creative agency’ (Fundamental Agency) to give my clients somewhere to see my portfolio of work and to contact me.
Since its inception, my creative agency evolved into separate companies based in Geelong and Melbourne, partnered up with operations managers who share the same passion for them as I do. This has allowed each of them to flourish individually, but still work together like a full service digital agency.
With more than one captain to sail the ship, I quickly began to spend more time working on my businesses, rather than inside them wearing all of the hats. A milestone all business owners strive for and can relate to!
To avoid burning myself out, I decided to niche down my offerings, focus on my strongest skills and move up to Cairns, where I have since been mastering my craft as a Far North Queensland freelance web designer.
Through building websites, I get to play a part in empowering entrepreneurs, turning their side hustles into profitable ventures with an impactful online footprint.
I’m someone who thrives on solving problems and making data-driven decisions. The thrill of competing for top rankings on the first page of Google is a challenge I welcome every time.
I also believe in making the most out of every dollar spent on ads, so optimising websites for maximum conversion rates is always a priority for me.
Whether you need advice on your existing website to capitalise on your current traffic, or you’re starting a project from scratch, I’m here to offer my expertise.
I believe in building a strong foundation and alignment of goals from the start. That’s why I offer a free discovery call with all my clients, ensuring we’re a good fit before we start working together.
Because at the end of the day, your success is my success, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Here are some websites I have built for my own companies, which started off as side hustles!
Although I’m a freelance web designer working as a one man band, I do have amazing support from my talented business partners Eden, Phillip and Tony (Dad), with plans to build out the Fundamental Agency concept further down the track.
Service Pod Australia:
Tony and I work together in this company to provide our clients with Fast, Secure and Reliable web hosting and WordPress maintenance care plans. Just about every website I have built has ended up on our managed website hosting infrastructure which you can read about here –> Service Pod Australia.

Fundamental Models Australia:
Eden and I manage a roster full of talented models and user generated content creators, which I can rely on when I need to capture website photo or video content. This was a business I started in 2019 just before the world stopped, and I spotted a niche which solved problems for my content creation clients!

Fundamental Events Geelong:
Phil is our trusty operations manager and lead photographer at Fundamental Events, which has traded long enough for me to capture photos at my mates 18th, 21st and 25th birthdays! Our creative team helps keep content flowing for our nightlife and corporate clients, along with my Geelong website projects.

If you made it this far down my bio, thanks for taking the time to read about me, I don’t usually enjoy writing about myself, but like I said, transparency in this industry is KEY!
