design you can trust
Our talented and experienced web designers and developers have decades of experience and are experts in their fields. We share that experience on every project we undertake to make the process easy for you.
Our clients tell us we streamline their business, increase productivity, and generate more profit.
After 20 plus years of working in this space we have distilled our client interaction down into a simple and very effective three step process.
1. First we work with you to define your challenges. Often this includes some online competitive analysis and benchmarking.
2. We then use our expertise to work out what opportunities exist, and the estimated staging and timeline to best bridge the gap to your desired results.
3. Together we deliver great outcomes with a strong ROI and UX (user experience) focus.
The ROI can be compelling, we had a recent ecommerce client that had a 50% increase in sales quarter on quarter after we completed a new UX focussed redesign for them. This easily paid for the upgrade many times over.
Fair warning, we often suggest outcomes our clients haven't considered.
From the CEO, Grant Goodger
What our clients say about us
Russell Crowe "The Art of Divorce" Auction
Thank you for your support throughout our Russell Crowe "The Art of Divorce" auction.
The sale could not have succeeded without the support of our suppliers, so thank you for standing by us and helping us through it. Your attention in maintaining our website's activity including security, and delivering work-arounds in live time was greatly appreciated.
With worldwide bidding the sale realised over $3.7 million including buyer's premium on the night, with post-sale interest forecast to achieve in excess of $4 million.

The website that we have created with SiteSuite has been immensely successful in many ways. Most importantly in portraying the mood and experience of Sepia!

We feel that the staff at SiteSuite are an extended part of the Pink Frosting team. The lack of down-time, access to help 24-7 and excellent service don't hurt either!

It has been an absolute delight to work with each and every person we have come in contact with at SiteSuite and we are so delighted with our end product. The time, energy and effort put into our project has been exceptional.

E-Commerce Website Designs that drive business growth
We love building ecommerce websites, whether it's exploding part pages and complex discount tables in B2B sites, or custom website design in high end retail sites. Ecommerce use has been steadily growing for many years. While around 14% of retail sales are online in Australia and the US, it's over 30% in the UK and over 50% in China. That means huge potential for online store growth in Australia and the trend isn't stopping anytime soon!
So where do you begin, firstly there are two main types of software platform to consider, those that run on in-house or proprietary software such as the SiteSuite CMS or those that run in an open source environment such as Wordpress. The advantage of open source software like Woocommerce is that plug ins give you greater out of the box functionality, however this can slow a site down requiring speed boosts (such as CDN caching software) and keeping security up to date is also critical, so there can be more ongoing maintenance work.
Proprietary offerings as a general rule tend to be inherently more secure (their core software is in a black box) and they tend to run faster as they operate from a single code base with less plug in's. In our case we also believe the back end useability of the SiteSuite CMS software is a major plus, it's designed from the ground up to be a cohesive suite of tools that are intuitive and easy to use. Plus we build great UX into all the process flows including shopping cart and checkout.
At SiteSuite we offer the choice and benefits of both platform styles for your ecommerce website, we develop scalable websites with custom ecommerce design and configuration in the SiteSuite CMS, and we also offer project builds in WooCommerce to take advantage of the open source benefits. With 20+ years experience in this space, our team can help you determine which approach is going to be the best cost/value fit for you.
Web developers and designers with a commercial focus
Having 20 + years experience in ecommerce and web application development, SiteSuite is Australia's longest running Cloud SaaS proprietary platform provider. We don't just build websites, we build platforms that websites operate on. Just as importantly our web development team understand how businesses work, we get it.
Our full stack developers can assess your challenges, turn them into opportunities and develop modern, efficient high quality Perl and PHP web applications to deliver you successful results. A great recent example of this is Sydney based Easy Drinks, we provided a whole of business website development solution to take their bricks and mortar operation online, including;
- A new ecommerce custom website design running the SiteSuite CMS
- A native mobile app for driver delivery rostering, focusing on local sub 30 minute delivery times, a core competitive advantage.
- A separate client facing mobile app with full online store functionality.
Web Hosting, Management and Support
Not all hosting services are equal, having your website hosted on our Sydney servers offers you the most secure & quickest route for your visitors to buy, communicate and trade with your online business. As our SEO guy often says a website is similar to a garden, it needs regular maintenance to keep performing at its best. Having a strong and secure managed hosting solution is the best possible way to ensure your new website is running smoothly and kicking goals for you.
To complement our managed web hosting we also offer DIY, Cpanel, and retainer based online support. Personal support and long term customer relationships are important to us, we don't believe in building a new website and then just walking away, we have website design and ecommerce clients who've worked with us for 20 years. We also have overflow for larger clients with trusted partners, such as Sydney based Sam Shetty for SEO at E-web Marketing.
Logo design, graphic design, UX design it's in our DNA
Great logo design can become the cornerstone of a successful business, you need look no further than Apple or Nike. Over the years we've had some interesting design projects including being one of only two global agencies to work with Chanel outside of France. One of the more interesting debates we had in the custom design area was in regard to the iconic Sepia Restaurant (now sadly closed) and whether to have the sign swinging on the home page or not. We prefer the swinging version, what do you think?
Good business logo design is a good place to start when you want to launch your company with a professional presence. Our services extend into graphic design and we do offer a full brand pack. Of course great UX (user experience) design and flow is paramount when you focus on mobile first web design or any custom website design.
