Project
Liven Nutrients Australia
A fast, credible website for a Geelong fertiliser importer entering the Australian market
Liven Nutrients Australia imports and distributes bulk fertiliser to the Australian agricultural sector from a base in Geelong West. The company was established in 2025 as the Australian arm of a Singapore trading group, a joint venture between Liven Agrichem and ASX listed PRL Global. They came to me with a registered company, a warehouse arrangement at Lara, six products to sell and no website at all.
Project Scope

- Static build in Astro
- Structured data for search and AI
- Hosting, domain cutover and care plan
The challenge
A new Australian arm of an established overseas group has a credibility problem. The parent has decades of trading history, but the local entity has none of it in a form an Australian buyer can check. When a fertiliser retailer is asked to place a bulk order with a company they have never heard of, the first thing they do is look it up. If there is nothing to find, the conversation gets harder.
So the site had to state clearly who owns the business, what it sells, where it operates from and how to buy, in a way that stands up to scrutiny. And it had to be finished before an industry conference where the team would be handing out cards with the web address on them.
What I built
Six pages, designed and written from scratch, built as a Rapid Site in Astro and deployed to Cloudflare. Every section earns its place by answering something a buyer would actually ask.
Credibility up front
Under the homepage hero sit four hard facts: the product range, the parent company and its ASX listing, the Australian base, and where deliveries run from. A buyer checking legitimacy gets their answer without scrolling.
Specifications people can use
Each of the six products carries its grade, its typical nutrient analysis and its typical uses. It is the detail most competitors bury in a PDF catalogue, and it is the most useful thing on the site.
One clear action
Existing clients book deliveries through a scheduling system, so that is the single primary button across the whole site. New enquiries route straight to email.
Fast and low maintenance
No database, no plugins and nothing to patch. The homepage scores 100 out of 100 for accessibility, best practices and SEO in Google Lighthouse, and hosting runs in the client's own account so they own everything.
Across the site
Products: grade, uses and typical analysis
About: the same site on a phone
The result
Liven Nutrients Australia went live in August 2026, comfortably ahead of the conference that set the deadline. A business that had existed only on paper now has a presence that states who owns it, what it sells and how to buy, and it holds up whether a retailer, a supplier or an AI assistant is the one checking.
The site is on a monthly care plan covering hosting, updates and content changes, with a clear path to grow into a content system or a custom ordering application when the business is ready for one.
If you run a trade, industrial or agricultural business that needs a website buyers can verify, I would like to hear about it. I am based in Geelong and work with clients across Australia.

Common questions about this project
About six weeks from go-ahead to launch, including the client review rounds. The deadline was an industry conference, and the site went live with a few weeks to spare.
The site publishes a fixed set of information: six products, a company story, contact details and a booking link. Nothing on it changes weekly. A static build serves plain HTML from a content delivery network, so it is faster and cheaper to run than WordPress, with no plugins to update and no login screen to attack. If the business later needs a content system or an ordering app, that is a separate build on top.
Yes. Liven Nutrients imports and distributes bulk fertiliser to the Australian agricultural sector, and I have built quoting, booking and payment systems for a shipping and freight company. The common thread is business to business trade, where the website has to establish credibility with buyers who found you some other way.
I am based in Geelong and Liven Nutrients Australia is on Pakington Street in Geelong West, so most of this project ran face to face or over a short call. I work with clients across Australia, but being local is genuinely useful on a project with an approval chain overseas.
Content changes go through me as part of a monthly care plan. That suits a business where every public claim about company structure, product specification or supply has to be right. For a site that changes daily, a content management system would be the better answer.
