Businesses that put the region in their own name.

Every project below is a real business trading on the South Coast, and every description says what we actually built rather than what it felt like. If a claim is not on the page, it is because nobody measured it.

01 / 07Not-for-profit

Lifeline South Coast

A rebuild to bring the site into line with Lifeline's national branding, with three genuinely hard pieces of custom work behind it. Event ticketing and the online shop were merged into a single checkout so supporters buy in one go instead of two. Digital and physical products needed different shipping rules in the same cart. And the gatekeeper training provider search works like a live shop filter, letting someone narrow by training type and parameters across multiple providers and get an answer they can actually read.

02 / 07Training and supply

South Coast First Aid

A new owner with a clear idea of how the business should run. We built an ecommerce site with online course booking and first aid supply restocking, so customers booked and paid in one place, and the whole thing was managed from a single content system rather than a booking sheet and an inbox. We then looked after it for six years.

03 / 07Pools and outdoor

South Coast Plunge Pools

A new business selling concrete plunge pools, which needed everything at once. We built the brand mark, wrote the content so both buyers and search engines could follow it, and designed a site around striking imagery of the product. The contact form takes file uploads, because quoting a pool means seeing the site it is going into. We then ran the Google Ads campaign and designed the display ad set that went with it.

04 / 07Events

South Coast Food & Wine Festival

A festival website built to grow. The lineup and the bus schedule were not finalised when the site launched, so it was structured to absorb them as they were announced without a redesign each time. Big imagery, coastal colours, and the festival's newsletters created and managed on an ongoing basis alongside it.

05 / 07Building and construction

Holmes Building South Coast

A builder who had changed the name of the business and needed the brand to catch up. We kept the colours from the old mark and rebuilt around them, then took it through to business cards and a vehicle wrap so the new name arrived everywhere at once instead of leaking out over a year.

06 / 07Joinery

South Coast Custom Joinery

A logo for a joiner who wanted the mark to say premium without saying it out loud. Dark prussian blue for trust with a brighter orange against it, and the initials set into a box form that reads as joinery to anyone in the trade and as a clean mark to everyone else.

07 / 07Salon

JD Hair

A boutique salon at Sussex Inlet, and proof that small print is still a design job. Hot foil stamp on the front so the card stands out in a wallet, a deliberately blank reverse because her clients book six appointments at a time and need somewhere to write them, rounded corners so it survives being carried, and a velvet laminate on 350gsm stock that still takes a ballpoint without smudging.
