Two real things, built at once
I'm Max. I play rugby league, and I'm the person who builds every site that goes out under this name. Not a side hustle — two things I'm serious about.
I run this business alongside school, training and games
Front row is an honest position. You don't get carried, you don't get to coast, and the scoreboard doesn't care how you felt on the morning. That's the same standard I bring to a build: agreed date, agreed price, delivered.
Made by Max exists because tradies kept telling me the same thing — the agency quote was $3,000 to $10,000, the timeline was months, and the person on the phone was in another country reading a script. That's a solvable problem, and I'd rather solve it than talk about it.
So it's footy in the morning, school through the day, and builds at night. Two real things, in parallel. Based in Lake Macquarie, NSW, working across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast, Sydney and NSW-wide.

You'll deal with me start to finish. Same number, same email, same bloke who built it.
