# Cam McCollum Websites

> Cameron McCollum (trading as Cam McCollum Websites, sole trader, ABN 20 204 677 907) is the founder of Riposte, a cyber risk intelligence company, after a 20-year career in the Australian Army. He also builds and looks after websites for small local businesses and community organisations, from Yungaburra QLD 4884 on the Atherton Tablelands. Sites are fast, secure, found by Google and by AI assistants, and owned entirely by the client: their domain, their Cloudflare, GitHub and Google accounts, with Cameron added as a helper. The aim: fix the common security problems small businesses have, cut what their website costs to run (no hosting bill), and make sure they're found by Google and AI assistants.
