Borneo Tales

Website&Newsletter

A proposal, in five screens.

A site that sells the work, and a newsletter and membership system that lives on your own domain, under your own login.

What we are building

Seven pages, each with a job.

Shows the work
Home
The whole story in one scroll.
Work
Every case, filterable by what you did.
KOL
The roster, and the depth of the network behind it.
Explains the offer
What we do
The four pillars, new media first.
About
The team, and why Sarawak is the whole point.
Keeps working
Insights
Where every newsletter lands and stays, findable on Google.
Contact
Form, WhatsApp, socials, all in one place.

A privacy policy page is included at no charge. The newsletter system needs one before it can send, so it comes as part of the build.

Where this goes next

Built to grow, not to redo.

The foundation is the expensive part, and it only gets built once. Everything after sits on top of it.

Now
Site and membership system
Seven pages, plus sending that is yours.
Next
Campaign pages
One per event or client, live in a day, on your own domain.
Then
New pages and features
Whatever the business needs next, added onto the same foundation.
Later
AI SEO
Found in Google, and quoted by ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.
How the newsletter works

Then it stays
It becomes a page on your site
Lands in Insights, findable on Google, working long after the email is read.

Most newsletters are read once and gone. Yours turns into a permanent page, so every issue you send makes the site bigger.
