Your local studio

A web designer for Fitzroy

Fitzroy wrote the book on Melbourne's inner-city cool. Its streets — Brunswick, Gertrude, the laneways around the Rose Street Artists' Market — are lined with galleries, retailers, studios and some of the city's best-loved hospitality. Swinn Digital is a boutique studio that gives these independents websites worthy of the address.

We look after the full picture in one place: your domain, a fast site designed around your brand, secure Australian hosting, business email, and the local SEO that puts you in front of Fitzroy customers searching right now.

There are no agency layers and no outsourcing here — just one Melbourne team that designs, builds and maintains your site, and sticks around long after it goes live.

From Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street, the Rose Street Artists' Market and the nearby Edinburgh Gardens, we help Fitzroy businesses put their best foot forward online.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you design websites for independent Fitzroy businesses?

That's our sweet spot. Fitzroy is full of independents — retailers, galleries, studios, bars and eateries along Brunswick and Gertrude Streets — and we love building sites that carry that same independent, creative streak.

What's the typical timeline for a Fitzroy website?

Most straightforward sites go live within two to four weeks once we have your words and images. Larger or more custom builds run longer, and we'll set out an honest timeline before starting so there are no surprises.

How much does a new website cost?

It depends what you're after. Basic sites start free on a small monthly plan, the Business build is a fixed $2,499, and bespoke work is quoted to the project. You'll get a clear price before we begin — no vague ranges.

Do you work with hospitality venues and retailers in Fitzroy?

Regularly. Cafes, bars, restaurants and shops make up a big slice of Fitzroy, and we build for them — menus, bookings, online ordering or a simple, striking storefront, whatever the venue needs.

Will you handle hosting, domains, email and SEO?

Yes — it's all bundled into one place. We sort the domain, host on fast and secure Australian servers, set up business email and optimise for search, so your Fitzroy business is found and looked after together.
