Businesses in the Southern Highlands are dealing with similar challenges to those in the Kiama and Shoalhaven region. At Handmade Web and Design, we are local to the area and understand the Southern Highlands market intimately. With such a great proportion of business here relying on tourism coming from Sydney and Canberra, there is a high bar for attracting this discerning market.
We have experience in helping speciality retail shops to create sophisticated online stores, wedding businesses to appeal to Sydney brides, accommodation properties to appeal to holiday makers, and restaurants, wineries and service businesses to take advantage of the tourism-driven economy. We would love the opportunity to help your Southern Highlands based business too.
We believe that a strong brand is one of the most important aspects of any marketing effort. Your logo, as an important part of your brand, summarises your business in one succinct, memorable image. It should create a resonant association with your business for your target market, in a blink. A logo must convey who you are, what you believe, how you operate and who your products and services are targeted at. We love facilitating a self-reflective journey for our clients through creating marks that say it all.
Graphic design is a broad term, but we tend to think of it as print-oriented. That means creating designs for everything from business cards, brochures, and signage, to packaging, posters and books. The beauty of print is with it comes an unbridled approach to design. There aren’t code and file size restrictions to deal with, so we have latitude to create just about anything you and us can conjure!
Web design and development is our passion. We love building websites that are modern, fresh, unique and that really work hard for your business. We also believe that usability and usefulness are every bit as important as beauty; and that having a site that ranks well in search and brings you customers can’t be compromised.
Web hosting and registering domains is a ubiquitous service these days. But our web hosting offers a difference where we shield you from the complexity and hassles of hosting-as-usual. When you buy our hosting, we will take care of regular software updates for you, backing your site up regularly and making sure you’re only getting what you need. If your site goes down, or is hacked for no apparent reason, we’ll fix it as part of your monthly fee.
Designing digital systems that humans can understand and use intuitively is known as User Experience Design or "UX" for short. We do wireframes in our sleep and daydream of tidy information architecture. Let us help you get your digital product right for your customers the first time.
Solving the puzzle of how to make a website rank highly in Google is one of our passions at Handmade. Every website we build has Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) at its heart. We've developed techniques that we know work every time, and would love to help your site make it to page 1.
Get found and drive revenue in your business. We have skills in all aspects of social media, inbound marketing, SEM and SEO; from managing Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram, creating magnetic content, obtaining backlinks and ensuring your site is technically ready for the search spiders to love.
When you need a solution that is tailored to your business, and a website isn't going to cut it, we can design, build and test software solutions to support your processes. Whether it's for iOS or Android, or a traditional desktop app, talk to us about creating a custom solution for you.
