Brian Coogan, Managing Director
White Dog Green Frog is a web development and hosting company based in Melbourne, Australia. In business now for nearly 7 years, and now with over 1000 customers, White Dog has been developing a huge range of web sites of all types for most of that time.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, we develop websites of all shapes and sizes for customers of all shapes and sizes. We understand that a small, cheap, website is often where a lot of people need to start; yet we also understand that an impressive site may be just the launching platform that other businesses need. Some people want a stall in the Sunday market; others want a fully equipped retail shop that will help the customer trust them, and we can do both.
Don’t get ripped off by back yard operators who won’t take the time to really understand your business and what you need, or who will disappear and leave the job half done. It takes time to build a great result; and we’re happy to put in what it takes to give you a great platform for your business. We want to still be your business partner in 10 years time!
You don’t have to understand all the ins and outs of having a website; our experienced and friendly professionals will talk to you about what we can set up to make it all work for you. Let us remove the stress from the process for you!
Just a few of the technologies we’ve used and understand: PHP, MySQL, Javascript, AJAX, CSS, XHTML, eCommerce (many flavours), CMS, Joomla, cPanel
