About me
Rapid Websites is owned and managed by Melanie Morschel. I’m based in the NSW Southern Highlands, however I build websites for small businesses right across Australia. I’ve been building WordPress websites for over 12 years!
I’ve got the experience to help your small business get online, having run my own businesses for many years, including small tourism accommodation properties.
I’m passionate about helping businesses succeed online. I take the time to understand your business and your target audience, so I can create a website that’s not only visually appealing but also user-friendly.

Benefits of Australian Web Hosting
You may be wondering, “what are the benefits of hosting my website in Australia?” There seem to be so many cheap deals around, but do you really want to trust your business’ online presence to an unknown overseas business?
- If your website is hosted in Australia, visitors to your site will experience faster download times. The speed of your site also affects your Google rankings.
- If your goal is to rank with Google for Australian customers, having an Australian IP address is very important. Google can recognise where your web hosting is located via your IP address – you are informing the search engines that your business is located in Australia which in turn will have a positive effect on local search results.
- If you have a problem, I am located in NSW so easy to phone or email. No phoning an overseas call centre.
- By using Australian web hosting services you are supporting our local economy, and creating Australian jobs.
