About Ey3

You get the person who did the work. That has been true since 1996.

Ey3 is a Brisbane consultancy working across AI, security, hosting and custom builds. There is no account manager, no handover, and no staff page. Each of those is a decision, and this page explains all three.

What we are

No office, no account managers, no handover.

Ey3 has never had a physical office and does not want one. What we have instead is our own server in Sydney, a PO Box in Fortitude Valley, and the ability to sit in a room with you in Brisbane when sitting in a room is the right answer. The absence of a building is not a cost saving we are passing on. It is what lets the money go into infrastructure we control rather than a lease.

There is no account manager between you and the work. The person who examines your site is the person who explains it, and the explanation is in English. If we cannot explain a finding without jargon, we do not understand it well enough yet.

Where to start

Four areas. Pick the one that matches your problem.

01AI for business

A process eats hours every week and nobody can explain why.

Intake, reporting, reconciliation, drafting, or finding one document in ten years of files. We scope the job, build the thing, and leave a person holding the pen.

Scoped per engagement.

02Security

You have been hacked, or you have realised you would not know if you had.

One day on the site, the server, the logs and the edge. A report you can read without a translator, and an hour with the person who wrote it.

Audit, one day: $1,000 inc GST
Website security →
03Secure hosting

You want to stop guessing where your site lives and who can reach it.

Hardware we control in Sydney, not a reseller account three layers deep. Three copies, two media, one off site, and a copy that ends up disconnected from everything.

From $600 a year inc GST.
Managed hosting →
04Custom builds

The thing you need is not on the shelf.

WordPress development, migrations off platforms that have become a liability, custom plugins, and the integrations between the website and the systems behind it.

Why there are no faces on this page

We do not publish a staff list.

Almost every firm in this industry puts the team on the website. We have decided not to, and it is worth explaining rather than leaving a gap where the headshots usually go.

People who harden systems are a target in their own right. A staff page is a starting point: names, roles, reporting lines, and enough detail to write a convincing email to whoever pays your invoices. We spend a good part of our working life explaining that risk to clients. It would be strange to publish it about ourselves.

You will meet whoever works on your site. They will be on the call, they will answer the phone, and they will know your build. You just will not meet them here first.

Where the judgment comes from

Thirty years of watching the same mistakes.

Ey3 is led by Luke Elin: thirty-five years in databases, web development and cyber security, and websites since 1996. BBC Weather in London. Web infrastructure for the Australian Red Cross after the Boxing Day tsunami. Generative AI engineering for the Queensland Government. Teaching cyber security, and red teaming.

That is where the work was done, not a list of people who have paid us. The distinction matters enough to keep saying.

Straight answers

The questions people ask before they ring.

How big is Ey3?
Small, on purpose. Small enough that nothing is handed to a junior you have never spoken to, and large enough that your site is not waiting on one person being well. If you want to know exactly who will do your work, ask on the call and we will tell you.
You really have no office?
Correct. A PO Box in Fortitude Valley for mail, our own server in Sydney for everything that matters, and we come to you or meet by video. In thirty years the office has never been the part clients were paying for.
Where does our data actually sit?
Hardware we control in Sydney. Backups follow the three copies, two media, one off site rule, and one of those copies ends up on a drive that is disconnected from everything. The hosting page sets out exactly what that means, including which parts are offshore.
Can you work alongside our existing developer?
Often, yes, and sometimes that is the right answer rather than moving everything. We will say so if it is. A security audit in particular is designed so your own developer can act on it without us.
What if we just need one thing fixed?
Then we fix one thing. There is no minimum retainer and no requirement to move your hosting to us before we will look at anything.

Next step

Start with a phone call.

Twenty minutes with someone who has seen it before. No deck, no discovery workshop, no obligation. If we are not the right people for it, we will tell you that too.
