About Probity Web Marketing

Our History
After an early career in Hospitality Management, Jarrod Sweetman started a business as an Icon Business Advisor, helping Small Business plan for growth. During this time he realised that most of his clients needed effective websites but couldn't find anyone that he could recommend with a good solution at a reasonable price. Then when he came across “Adobe Business Catalyst”, a website management system that provided all that was missing, he decided it was time to start a second business in Website Design. So in 2007, Probity Partners (T/A Probity Web & Print) was started.
After 3 years of running Probity Web & Print, Jarrod realised that just having a website was not enough; you needed to market it. Once again he found himself struggling to find a business that he was comfortable referring to his clients. The companies he approached used complex, technical jargon and offered expensive plans that were impossible to understand. So he began researching himself and spending more and more time helping his clients optimise their Web Marketing strategies. After considerable success with several clients, he decided it was time that Probity Web & Print evolved into Probity Web Marketing and he started offering a complete solution.
In 2011 Probity Web Marketing moved to Mount Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, where we initially operated the business in a home office. However, as we grew and employed staff, a decision was made to set up offices in Coolum Beach. After 2 years in Coolum Beach we had outgrown our offices, so looked for larger premises and ended up in Mooloolaba. We are so thankful to be working in one of the best parts of the world and work with clients all over Australia.
In 2019, Adobe told us they were closing down Business Catalyst (our website platform) so we needed to look elsewhere. After reviewing the leading Website CMS's on the net, we decided that we could build a better version that allowed us to better implement the proven digital marketing strategies we have developed over the years. So we built our own content management system (CMS), called SmartyrDXP.
