Our process - How we work
Whether building a website, an app or embarking on a 12-month SEO campaign, there is a time-tested process behind everything that we do. And we are always trying to optimise our approach with every new project.
Discovery
When we start working with a client, we have seen over and again the value of investing time up front to deeply understand them, their business and their unique goals. For a duration of time, we'll be a close-knit team. Communication and understanding are our secret weapons.
While the legwork of building and growing websites is largely done in solitude with headphones on, the time spent one on one with you is the real power behind what we do. We'll ask a lot of questions, and we'll listen even more.
Included in this phase
- In-depth questionnaires
- Brand Discovery
- Past experiences enquiry
- Proofs-of-concept
Build
One we are certain that we have understood your specific requirements and goals, together we will make some choices about the best strategy to adopt. This may include decisions about which technology to use, what should be included and how long we should expect to work on the project.
We will then get to work on the design and development of your project. We will keep you updated on our progress and will be in regular contact with you to ensure that we are on the right track.
We had an idea of how we wanted the website to look and the basic functions but Andrew took the time to understand our company and challenged us to expand the vision with no limitations. The process was seamless and the best experience we have had developing a website.

Our values - Integrity and transparency to the core.
The digital marketing and web development industries have a reputation for being shady and untrustworthy. And usually for very good reasons. Too many of our clients found us as a last ditch attempt to find a trustworthy partner, after being swindled by agencies and freelancers.
- Honest. The average time that we spend working with a client is 3 years and repeat or referral business accounts for 90% of our revenue. In fact, we operated without a website of our own for the first 5 years because of the strength of our relationships and integrity.
- Dedicated. We see our clients as valued partners whose online success and peace of mind are our solemn commitment. We remain a small and agile team and never over-commit, ensuring that we can always deliver on our promises.
- Highest Quality. You know us Aussies - we don't like to self-promote. But since we need to cover the subject, we are really quite good at what we do. When it comes to building photography-driven websites and business-enhancing digital solutions, you'll be hard-pressed to find better... Ok, now that's done.
- Fast. We are a small team and we like to work fast. We are often able to deliver projects in a fraction of the time that larger agencies take, without compromising on quality. We put a lot of this down to 2 main things: the time we like to invest up front understanding the brief and the fact that we are each highly-skilled across multiple, complementary disciplines.
- In-Person. A lot of times, the best results we get come from physically sitting down with you and building or designing right there with you in the room. Breaking down invisble barriers to communication is key to getting the best results for our clients. *We don't HAVE to work this way of course - but rest assured we are willing to, if that's what is required.
- Progressive. Many agencies, for reasons of simplification, tend to stick with the same technologies and methodologies that they have been using for years. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. However, it is critical to make excellent choices for clients and your existing tools may not cut it!
