Websites that work properly.
And keep working.
Grey Lily Media builds practical WordPress websites for small businesses, clubs, creatives and independent operators who want good work without agency nonsense.
Built in Melbourne. Made for people with actual work to do.
Not just pretty pages. Useful websites.
A website should do something: take an enquiry, sell a ticket, book a table, sign up a member. Grey Lily Media builds sites where the useful parts actually work — and keep working after launch.

Portfolio, workshops, print sales and email were scattered. Now one site runs the lot, including CRM campaigns via AWS SES.

Monthly dinners ran on spreadsheets and reply-all email. A member site now handles events, RSVPs and payments.
Ultimate MemberEvents CalendarWooCommerceA sensible way to build a website.
No 87-page discovery workshop. No mood board about your brand’s “inner energy”. Just enough thinking to make sure we build the right thing.
Talk
A plain conversation about what you do and what’s not working.
Work out what you actually need
Sometimes that’s less than you feared. Occasionally it’s more. Either way, you’ll know why.
Build the right thing
A proven WordPress stack, set up carefully. Nothing you don’t need.
Test it properly
Forms send. Payments clear. Email arrives. On phones too.
Launch it
DNS, redirects, indexing, backups — the unglamorous bits done right.
Keep it working
Updates, backups, security and a real person to call. No abandonment after launch.
