Most agencies build a site and disappear; most hosts host it and shrug. We do the whole job: website design and WordPress builds, ongoing maintenance so it stays fast and secure, and Australian hosting on infrastructure we own and operate through Whosts.au, which means when something needs fixing, the people who built your site are the same people running the server it lives on.

Domains, DNS, migrations and business email round it out, with care plans that keep everything patched, backed up and monitored. Browse below, or if your site’s misbehaving right now, raise a hosting ticket.

Websites 9

Website Design Your website is often the first thing a potential customer sees, so it needs to work properly, load fast and look like a real business built it. Find out more WordPress Builds WordPress powers over 40% of the web for good reason. It's flexible, well-supported and your content stays yours. Find out more Sitejet Websites Not every business needs a fully custom website. Sometimes you just want something professional that's quick to launch and easy to update. Find out more Website Maintenance A website isn't something you build once and forget about. Plugins need updating, security patches need applying, content goes stale and things break. Find out more API Integrations If your staff are copying data between systems, exporting spreadsheets to import somewhere else… Find out more Rapid Site Cloning Need to move your website to new hosting, create a staging copy… Find out more AI Website Design AI tools have changed how websites get built.

Find out more VPS & Cloud When shared hosting isn't enough, VPS and cloud hosting gives your business its own dedicated resources: guaranteed CPU… Find out more Dedicated Servers A dedicated server gives your business an entire physical machine. All the CPU, RAM, storage and bandwidth belong to you and nobody else. Find out more Managed WordPress WordPress is brilliant, but it needs looking after. Core updates, plugin patches, security monitoring, backups, speed optimisation. It adds up. Find out more cPanel & WHM cPanel and WHM are the backbone of most web hosting setups, but they need proper configuration and ongoing attention to stay secure and perform well. Find out more VPS & Cloud (AI/Vibe) So you've used Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Claude or another AI tool to build a website. Find out more

Domains & DNS 5

DNS Configuration DNS is the behind-the-scenes plumbing that makes your website load and your email arrive. Find out more Domains (Combined) Your domain name is your address on the internet, so it's worth getting it right and keeping it with someone you trust. Find out more Domain Registration Your domain name is your address on the internet. Get it right and people find you.

Email 2

Business Email (M365) A @gmail.com or @outlook.com address doesn't exactly scream professional. Find out more Anti-Spam & Filtering If your team is spending half their morning deleting junk mail or worrying about clicking the wrong link, your email filtering isn't doing its job. Find out more

Security & Performance 6

SSL/TLS Every website needs a valid SSL/TLS certificate to show the padlock, encrypt visitor data and avoid Google's 'Not Secure' warning. Find out more SSL & Privacy Bundles Every website needs an SSL certificate. Browsers flag sites without one as 'Not Secure' and Google ranks them lower. But SSL is just one piece. Find out more CDN Your web server might be in Sydney, but your visitors are in Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and beyond. Find out more Web Application Firewall Your website is under attack right now. Automated bots are constantly probing for vulnerabilities, trying SQL injection… Find out more Malware Cleanup If your website has been flagged by Google, is redirecting visitors to dodgy sites or is behaving strangely, there's a good chance it's been compromised.

How do your plans and pricing work?

Whatever suits you: a fixed contract, a monthly retainer, prepaid blocks of hours, or simple hourly rates. You pick the model that fits your business, and we keep it transparent with no surprise bills.

How quickly do you respond?

Fast. You talk to a real person, not a call queue. For urgent issues we're often on-site within the hour across Adelaide, with remote support Australia-wide.

Do you only do IT support?

No. IT & Digital, cyber security, websites & hosting (via Whosts.au), business solutions and currency equipment, all from one local team. One number to call.

Yes. We're Adelaide-based with on-site visits across South Australia, remote support Australia-wide, and we fly in to clients in Darwin, Brisbane and elsewhere for planned work.

Our story

Built in Adelaide, since 2001

WaTo Consulting was founded by John Watson in Adelaide in 2001. Over two decades it's earned a name for tailored work across a wide range of industries, helping businesses of every size run more smoothly, work more efficiently and grow steadily, without blowing the budget or disrupting the day-to-day.

Emma Watson (née Dickenson) played a significant part in shaping what WaTo became. She brought real expertise and a clear vision for where it could go: expanding the business, bringing in new systems and fresh thinking, and raising the standard of how things are done. A great deal of what WaTo is, we owe to her.

Today it's all tailored, never off-the-shelf: IT & Digital, Business & Web Hosting, built around what each client actually needs. Over the years those areas have come together under one roof: our IT & Digital, Currency, Business and Web work (through Whosts.au) now all sit within WaTo Consulting. One team, one standard, looking after the lot.

When you work with us, you're a partner, not just a client.
