I’m the designer and developer behind Impression. I build every website myself — from the first conversation to launch day — so you work with one person who knows your project inside out.
Alongside the studio, I teach web design and digital technologies and mark QCAA external assessment for Digital Solutions. It keeps me current with modern web standards, and it means I’m good at explaining technical things in plain English.
I’m based in Cairns and work with businesses across Far North Queensland and Australia — from local trades and wellness studios to a Sydney cooking school and a Queensland-wide schools program.

“Do yourself a favour! See Kim from Impression Web Design and Development for all your web and social media needs!
I had an old business webpage in urgent need of repair. I was fearful from previous unpleasant experiences with web designers, and as a result, I procrastinated taking the necessary step! Then I was recommended Kim! I decided to take a chance. From the get-go Kim was fantastic! She understood my wants and needs for my new webpage and delivered!!! Kim was honest and transparent regarding her work & fee structure which I really appreciated. She communicated every step of the process and was calm & lovely with my every demand!
There are many qualities you need in a web designer & developer and Kim meets them all! Again, do yourself a favour!”

"We couldn’t be happier with the website Kim from Impression Web Design and Development created for us at thaimassagecairns.com.au.
From the very beginning, Kim took the time to understand our business, our services, and the feeling we wanted the website to reflect. She created a beautiful, professional site that truly represents our brand and makes it easy for clients to find information, view our services, and get in touch.
Her attention to detail, design expertise, and technical knowledge made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She explained everything clearly, handled all the technical setup, and delivered a website that is fast, modern, and easy to navigate.
We’ve already received positive feedback from clients about how professional the site looks. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about your business and delivers high-quality work, we highly recommend Kim at Impression Web Design and Development.
Thank you, Kim — we absolutely love our new website”

“From the beginning Kim really took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve with the website, not just how I wanted it to look, but how I wanted visitors to engage with it.
The process was efficient, I got to select every aspect throughout the design process and Kim was there to support me when I needed advice. The support throughout the drafting process was great and I’m really happy how it turned out.
Impression Web Design if you want a professional outcome!”

“I was introduced to Kim at Impression Web Design & Development after a friend recommended her to me. My website had been constantly going down and I was becoming increasingly frustrated with having a website that I couldn’t rely on, especially when it’s such an important part of my business.
My friend had recently had her own website refreshed and the software updated by Kim and spoke so highly of her, so I decided to get in touch.
From the beginning, Kim was fantastic. She took the time to understand my business, what I needed from my website and the look and feel I wanted for Makeup by Carly. She refreshed my website, updated the software and helped get everything running properly again.
The whole process was so much easier than I expected. Kim explained everything clearly, was incredibly patient and always kept me informed. I now have a website that looks beautiful, reflects my brand and, most importantly, I can have confidence in it being maintained and working properly.
I’m so happy with the result and really appreciate Kim taking the stress out of something that had been causing me so many headaches. I would absolutely recommend Impression Web Design & Development to any business owner who needs a reliable, professional and personal approach to their website.
Thank you so much, Kim — I’m so glad my friend recommended you!”
