Built by people who
actually give a damn

A traditional agency layers account managers, project coordinators and junior staff between you and the people doing the actual work. Stackborne removes that structure entirely. When you work with us, you're working directly with the CFO, CMO and CTO — the same people who built the strategy, wrote the code and designed the system.

That means faster decisions, cleaner communication and no markup for management overhead. We operate like a senior in-house team, not a vendor you hand a brief to.

Stackborne was built for growing businesses — the ones that are too advanced for a template site but not yet at the scale to justify an internal tech team. Most of our 35+ clients are small and mid-sized businesses who want senior-level thinking without the agency price tag.

We've worked with car washes, healthcare providers, logistics companies and service businesses. What they have in common is ambition, not size.

Our CFO Abraham Punnoose is a Chartered Accountant (CA ANZ) with a Certificate of Merit in Financial Accounting and a Masters in Financial Analysis from UNSW. He also holds a Machine Learning certification from Stanford University.

Our CMO Yi Sheng Tee led organic growth at Employment Hero and supported ChromeOS operations at Google. Our CTO Shawn Ferrao was part of the team at Jomablue that won Best Event Management Platform at the Event Technology Awards in London 2025 and Best Visitor Registration Technology at Event Tech Live 2024.

Most websites go live in 3 to 6 weeks, depending on scope, content readiness and revision rounds. A lean landing site for a focused service can be faster. A full multi-page WordPress build with SEO structure, automation integrations and custom design typically takes 4 to 6 weeks.

We send a clear timeline before any work starts — no surprises. The biggest factor in speed is usually how quickly the client can supply content, access and feedback.

Yes — and for many clients, automation is where the biggest value comes from. We build workflows using Zapier, Make (Integromat), custom APIs and AI tools that connect your website, CRM, email, payment systems and internal tools so they work together without manual handling.

Examples include automated lead follow-up sequences, invoice generation, client onboarding flows, booking confirmations and AI-powered content pipelines. If you're spending time on repetitive admin, there's almost certainly a way to automate it.

Our leadership is split across Sydney (Australia), Dubai (UAE) and Malaysia. We operate across time zones, which means faster turnaround on work and a more global perspective on your market.

We work with clients remotely worldwide. All communication happens through clear channels — no chasing, no ambiguity. Most clients find the remote setup results in better documentation and faster responses than a local agency with a packed calendar.

A freelancer covers one discipline — usually design or development. If you need strategy, SEO, automation and financial structure alongside a website, you'd need to hire and coordinate multiple freelancers yourself. Stackborne gives you a team with complementary skills that already works together.

You also get continuity. Freelancers move on. A committed tech partner invests in understanding your business and grows with you over time. We're structured to be a long-term partner, not a one-off project vendor.

We start with a scoping call to understand your goals, existing setup and what success looks like. From there we send a clear proposal — scope, timeline, cost. No vague retainers or surprise charges.

During the project you'll have a dedicated point of contact, regular progress updates and a shared workspace where you can see exactly where things stand. We aim to respond to messages within 24 hours on business days. After launch, we offer ongoing support and can extend into retainer arrangements if you want us to stay involved.
