1. The Problem We Solve for Business Owners

Have you ever looked at your website and thought, “It looks decent, so why aren’t we seeing more sales?” Or felt the frustration of juggling multiple systems that refuse to talk to each other—losing hours to tedious manual tasks? For many owners of SMEs making over $5M a year, these problems aren’t just annoying; they slow down growth.

When dealing with an outdated website, you’re losing customers before they even give you a chance. Add on broken functionality—like missing eCommerce or clunky checkout processes—and you’ve essentially rolled out a red carpet for your competitors. And in a digital age where users expect speed and convenience, any site that doesn’t meet those standards can feel more like an expense than an asset.

Beyond the surface issues, there’s a deeper pain. Every day these digital obstacles remain, business owners face:

  • Lost Revenue: Potential customers slip through the cracks of clunky or non-existent online sales channels.
  • Poor Customer Experience: Outdated designs and confusing navigation drive people away before they click “buy.”
  • Outdated Systems: Manual admin work soaks up your time, taking you away from big-picture growth strategies.
  • Stunted Growth: Without a strong online presence, you fall behind competitors who are already innovating and scaling.

For high-achieving business owners and entrepreneurs, time is the ultimate currency. When tech headaches and website woes steal time away from strategic leadership, everyone suffers—from stressed-out teams to customers who can’t get what they need.

Introducing Smashed Avo’s Philosophy

We believe that a great website should make running your business easier, not harder. We build websites that not only look good but work hard—turning visitors into customers and making sure your business stands out online.

Whether it’s reducing manual admin, streamlining sales, or making sure your customers have a smooth experience from start to finish, we’re here to make sure your website pulls its weight.
Practical and effective solutions that help you grow, backed by a team that genuinely cares about making your business better.

2. What Sets Smashed Avo Apart?

Client-First Approach

We’re here for more than just building websites. We want to help you reach your business goals. That means we start by understanding what matters most to you—more sales, better systems, or a smoother customer journey. Then we build a plan to make it happen.

Excellence in Execution

We don’t take shortcuts. Every part of your website—from how it looks to how it loads—matters. We pay attention to the details so your site isn’t just good enough; it’s built to stand out and perform.

Deep Technical Expertise

A beautiful website is great, but it only works if it helps your business run better. Need advanced integrations, custom automation, or better tools for your team? We’ve got you covered. Our focus is on solving real problems so you can grow without getting stuck in tech troubles.

Clear Communication

You shouldn’t have to learn a bunch of tech terms just to know what’s going on. We keep it simple. We’ll explain the process, answer your questions, and keep you in the loop—without burying you in jargon.

Relentless Dedication

We genuinely care about seeing your business do well. That’s why we don’t stop at “good enough.” We’re always looking for new ways to boost your results because your success is our success.
