What do Fitzroy businesses need from a website?

Fitzroy customers usually find you on Instagram or Google Maps, then check your website for the menu, hours and feel of the place before they walk over. Your site needs to load instantly on a phone, look as considered as your fit-out, and show hours, location and bookings without digging.

Fitzroy is also crowded. On a single block of Brunswick Street a customer can choose between several cafés, bars and shops, so the business that answers their question fastest usually wins the visit. We cut everything that slows that decision down: no auto-playing videos, no PDF menus, no pop-ups.

Which Fitzroy businesses do we design for?

Mostly hospitality, independent retail and creative services: cafés and wine bars, vintage and design stores, galleries, tattoo and barber studios, and architects or designers working from Fitzroy and Collingwood warehouses. Each needs something different, from a menu that updates easily to a portfolio that loads fast.

  • Cafés and bars: menu, hours, bookings and a clear walk-in message.
  • Independent retail: what you stock, new arrivals and a reason to visit in person.
  • Studios and galleries: a portfolio or exhibition page that shows the work large and loads fast.
  • Tattoo and barber studios: artist styles, booking rules and deposits explained up front.

How do you handle menus, events and late trading?

We build menus and event listings as real text, not PDFs, so they read well on phones and Google can understand them. Changing hours for a late Friday, a gig night or a public holiday becomes a quick edit, and a care plan means we can make those updates for you.

For venues with a busy events calendar, we add a simple what's-on section to the homepage. Past events drop off automatically in your weekly update, so regulars never land on a gig that already happened.

What does a website cost for a Fitzroy business?

The same fixed prices apply: Essential A$490, Signature A$890 and Prestige A$1,490. Most Fitzroy cafés and shops choose Essential or Signature. You see a free sample homepage first, then pay a 50% deposit when you approve it, and the site is usually live about five days later.

  • Essential, A$490 (A$245 deposit): one elegant page, mobile-perfect, enquiry form, Google-ready.
  • Signature, A$890 (A$445 deposit): up to five pages, custom copywriting and local SEO set-up.
  • Prestige, A$1,490 (A$745 deposit): a full bespoke site with a booking or quote flow, photography direction and 30 days of care.

See our Ember & Table café concept for the kind of warm, fast homepage that suits Fitzroy hospitality.

Frequently asked questions

Short answers to the questions Fitzroy business owners ask us most, covering timing, ownership, bookings and what we need from you. If your question is not answered here, send it through the enquiry form on our homepage and we will reply within one business day.

Can my website show my Instagram?

Yes. We link your Instagram prominently and can feature a curated set of your best photos, which loads faster and looks more considered than a live feed.

Can you add a gift voucher or Christmas page?

Yes. Our Christmas landing page add-on (A$245) covers holiday hours, gift vouchers through your existing Square, Shopify or Stripe account, and a bookings button.

Do I need to come to a meeting?

No. Most of the work happens by email and video call, so you do not need to leave the shop or the bar. In-person consults are available in Melbourne if you would rather meet.

Do you only work in Fitzroy?

No. We work across Melbourne, including neighbouring Collingwood, Carlton and Northcote, and with businesses Australia-wide.
