Most agencies build a site and disappear; most hosts host it and shrug. We do the whole job: website design on the platform that suits you, from plain code sites to WordPress, ongoing maintenance so it stays fast and secure, and Australian hosting on infrastructure we own and operate, which means when something needs fixing, the people who built your site are the same people running the server it lives on.

Domains, DNS, migrations and business email round it out, with care plans that keep everything patched, backed up and monitored. Browse below, or if your site’s misbehaving right now, raise a hosting ticket.

Find out more VoxelSite Websites Most small business sites are a handful of pages, a contact form and the odd change to a price, a photo or a paragraph. VoxelSite is built for exactly that. Find out more Website Maintenance A website isn't something you build once and forget about. Plugins need updating, security patches need applying, content goes stale and things break.

Find out more VPS & Cloud When shared hosting isn't enough, VPS and cloud hosting gives your business its own dedicated resources: guaranteed CPU… Find out more Dedicated Servers A dedicated server gives your business an entire physical machine. All the CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth belong to you and nobody else. Find out more Managed WordPress WordPress is brilliant, but it needs looking after. Core updates, plugin patches, security monitoring, backups, speed optimisation. It adds up. Find out more cPanel & WHM cPanel and WHM are the backbone of most web hosting setups, but they need proper configuration and ongoing attention to stay secure and perform well. Find out more VPS & Cloud (AI/Vibe) So you've used Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Claude or another AI tool to build a website. Find out more WordPress Hosting Fast Australian hosting for WordPress sites you run yourself, with cPanel, free SSL, daily backups, email and a free move from your current host.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do your plans and pricing work?

Whatever suits you: a fixed contract, a monthly retainer, prepaid blocks of hours, or simple hourly rates. You pick the model that fits your business, and we keep it transparent with no surprise bills.

How quickly do you respond?

Fast. You talk to a real person, not a call queue. For urgent issues we're often on-site within the hour across Adelaide, with remote support Australia-wide.

Do you only do IT support?

No. IT & Digital, cyber security, websites & hosting, business solutions and currency equipment, all from one local team. One number to call.

What does it cost?

Managed IT is typically $80 to $200 per user per month. One-off help is $115 an hour remote or $180 an hour on site. Prices are ex GST. See our rates.

Do you support businesses outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're Adelaide-based with on-site visits across South Australia, remote support Australia-wide, and we fly in to clients in Darwin, Brisbane and elsewhere for planned work.

Will you work with our existing IT person?

Absolutely. We often co-manage, taking on monitoring, security and after-hours cover alongside your in-house team.

Who we work with

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries, helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day. Rumour has it the story starts much earlier, with a young Wato on his grandfather's knee in front of a Commodore 64, learning to code in BASIC.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) was part of the story for a stage along the way. She brought real estate and property management expertise, and a clear view of where the business could go: growing it, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and lifting the standard of how things are done. WaTo has been through plenty of shapes and stages since, but one thing she helped sharpen has never changed: being consistent for the client is a must.

Today it's all tailored, never off-the-shelf: IT & Digital, Business & Web Hosting, built around what each client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof: our IT & Digital, Currency, Business and Web Hosting work now all sit within WaTo Consulting. One team, one standard, looking after the lot.

When you work with us, you're a partner, not just a client.
