About Mark Dekker_
Founder of Straight Up Websites — helping businesses get more enquiries through conversion-focused web design for over 15 years.
I started building websites in 2009 because I wanted to create things that actually work — not just look good on a screen, but genuinely help businesses grow. That focus has not changed.
Over the years, I have worked with businesses of all sizes, from local cafes and trade services to education providers and international companies. Every project gets the same attention to detail, because every website represents someone's livelihood.
My builds are clean, fast, and built to convert — structured to turn visitors into enquiries, not just look impressive.

No over-complication. I build what works for your business, not what looks impressive in a portfolio.
