Hacked website or socials? Nobody managing your tech? Clunky processes slowing you down?
I take on the whole problem, fix what’s actually wrong, and leave you in control.
I’m Stefano Perfili. I’ve spent 19 years building for the web, from global e-commerce platforms to movements for justice. I also help with cyber security: recovering compromised accounts, cleaning up after a breach and preventing the next one. I modernise processes, keep things simple and explain them plainly. I’m based in Naarm (Melbourne) and work with people anywhere in Australia. My rates start at $250 per hour.
Don’t just take my word for it:
“Stefano literally saved me when my professional website was hacked. He immediately shut down the website to prevent further damage, recovered all of the important information and created a new website. He also did a cyber investigation himself and found the date of the hack, the likely source and the amount of damage that was caused. Within a few days I had a secure new website, and all the information I required to report the breach to the appropriate authority and clients.
“Stefano took care of everything including the domain and hosting, and very patiently explained it all in lay language. I run a medical practice where patients’ privacy and confidentiality are the most important. Stefano has proven to be highly trustworthy dealing with all of this, and now keeps my new website running smoothly and safely.
“I can’t speak highly enough about how excellent, professional, meticulous, trusted and efficient Stefano is. If you run a practice or small business and need IT services, I highly recommend him.”
“When my Facebook and Instagram accounts got hacked and disabled, I didn’t know where to turn. Stef took on the whole thing, and never gave up. He wrote to Meta, its lawyers and the Ombudsman, and dug through every email and login to work out how it happened. He kept me in the loop at every step. I didn’t understand most of what he was doing, and I didn’t need to. He told me what mattered in plain English and got on with the rest.
“I gave him my passwords, my ID, my emails…EVERYTHING. And I never had a moment’s doubt that it was all safe with him. He’s also helped me navigate securing my online presence.
“After months of dead ends with Meta, he’s the reason I have my voice back.”
“I’m on the board of a small charity which is run by volunteers. We have no one to run our tech and we’ve needed to upgrade our website for years. Due to the recent urgent PHP security threat to our website, we contacted Stef and he took immediate action which resolved this.
“Working with our admin team, Stef also simplified and streamlined the design and content of our website. And in the process he noticed our outdated processes around our AGM, memberships and donations and updated these with board approval.
“I can’t recommend Stef highly enough. He’s very smart, he quickly gets to the core of the issue and implements agreed solutions.”
“Stefano rebuilt APIL’s website from the ground up on a platform our committee can manage ourselves. He also advised us on the mailing list, email and security that sit behind it.
“He explained the options in plain terms, was upfront about where he thought we were taking on risk, and set things up so that we don’t depend on him for routine changes.
“The new website is clear, modern and far easier for a volunteer association to maintain.”
