Our Story

About Shopfront Studio

We exist for one reason. To help Australian small businesses get found online.

Who We Are

Who We Are

Shopfront Studio is a Melbourne-based web design agency that specialises exclusively in small business websites for Australian businesses.

We are not a big agency. We don't have account managers, project managers, and a junior designer who has never spoken to you actually building your site. We are a small, focused operation that works directly with small business owners to build websites that do one thing well: get results.

We believe Australian small businesses deserve better than overpriced, underperforming websites that look great in a portfolio and do nothing in Google search.

Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy

Results over pretty.

A beautiful website that nobody finds is a waste of money. A simple website that ranks on page one of Google and generates three enquiries a day is worth every dollar.

We don't enter design awards. We track rankings, phone calls, and form submissions. That is how we measure success, and that is how our clients measure success.

Every website we build is structured for Google from day one. Right keywords, fast loading, mobile-first design, local schema markup, and Google Search Console set up before the site goes live.

Our Focus

Why We Only Work With Small Businesses

Big agencies work with big budgets. We work with tradies who need their first website. Cafes that want to show up when someone Googles cafe near me. Physios trying to rank for their suburb. Accountants who want more local clients.

Small businesses need speed, value, and plain English communication. They don't need a 40-page strategy document. They need a website that works. That is what we build.

The Team

Meet the Team

"Most small business owners I meet have a website that was built to look impressive in a proposal. Nobody ever checked if it ranked. We fix that."
— Founder, Shopfront Studio
