Questions

Questions from businesses in Richmond, South Yarra and Hawthorn

Can you add online bookings and menus to a hospitality site?

Yes. We connect the booking, ordering or events platform your venue already uses, rather than replacing it, and design menus as real text instead of PDFs so they load quickly and can be read by Google and AI assistants. Staff can update dishes, prices and opening hours themselves in the editor we set up.

Do you work with tech startups in Cremorne?

Yes. We build marketing sites, waitlists and first product versions for early-stage companies, and can set up AI tools for a small team. We scope a first release you can launch and learn from, documented at handover so a later hire can pick it up without starting again.

Can you work from our existing brand?

Yes. Most businesses in the area already have a logo, colours and a look in store, and the website should match it. We build a small design system from your existing brand, check colour contrast for accessibility, and only suggest changes where something would be hard to read on a phone or fail WCAG 2.2 AA.

Do you have an office in Richmond or South Yarra?

No. We are a Melbourne company without a shopfront or office in the inner south-east. Calls and most project meetings run by video, and we can visit your venue, shop or studio in Richmond, Cremorne, South Yarra, Prahran or Hawthorn by arrangement when seeing the space helps the design.

Can you set up our Google Business Profile?

We can help you set it up and connect it properly to the new site, with consistent name, address and phone details, accurate categories, and links to the right service pages. The profile stays in your business's name with you as its owner, and we never write or buy reviews on your behalf.

Cost, timelines and how engagements work are covered in our general FAQ.
