Hi, I’m Solana Payne, an Australian web designer living in France. I specialise in building premium WordPress websites for small businesses and service providers. My focus is simple: give you back your time. I design websites that look credible, load fast, and don’t need constant tinkering. If your current site feels a bit DIY, or you’re spending too long fixing tiny problems, that’s the stuff I resolve for you. I work on full custom builds, one-page sites, targeted support sessions, and ongoing care plans — whatever keeps your business running smoothly without the tech stress.
