Your local studio

A web designer for St Kilda East

St Kilda East mixes leafy residential streets with the constant hum of Carlisle Street retail and food. Swinn Digital builds websites for the businesses in that mix — the delis, cafes, specialty shops and service providers that locals rely on day to day.

Everything comes from one place: your domain, a site designed to reflect your brand, secure hosting on Australian servers, business email and the local SEO that helps St Kilda East customers find you rather than a competitor a few suburbs over.

There are no account managers or hand-offs here. You deal directly with the person who designs and builds your website, and who sticks around to look after it once it's live.

From Carlisle Street, the St Kilda East shops, Alma Park and Balaclava station nearby, we help St Kilda East businesses put their best foot forward online.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you build websites for Carlisle Street businesses?

We do — Carlisle Street is a big part of what makes St Kilda East tick. We work with the food, retail and service businesses along the strip, whether you're a long-standing deli or a newer shopfront wanting a proper online presence for the first time.

How long will it take to get my St Kilda East site live?

A straightforward site is usually live within two to four weeks once we have your content and photos. Larger, custom builds take a little longer, and we'll always give you an honest timeline before we start.

What sort of budget should a local business expect?

Our Basic plan starts free with a small monthly fee, the Business package is a fixed $2,499 build, and anything fully bespoke is quoted to the project. You'll see a clear price up front, so there are never any nasty surprises.

Which areas around St Kilda East do you cover?

We look after businesses right across Melbourne's inner south — St Kilda East, Balaclava, Elsternwick, Windsor, Elwood and the surrounding suburbs — plus anywhere else in greater Melbourne that needs a web designer.

Do you sort out hosting, domains and business email too?

Yes, and it's all managed together. We register your domain, host on fast Australian servers, configure your business email and keep the site updated and secure — one point of contact for the lot.
