The Suburbs Design Store
Our Online Design Store is now live (and has since been closed because we’re too busy).
We’ll… it went live a month or 2 ago but we’ve been far too busy to post anything about it. Useless I know, but the good news is that it is there, online, and you can now grab all your designer furniture, ceramics, lighting, fonts (and or course, organic tea) directly from us.
Easton Pearson Australia Website Redesign
We just redesigned and relaunched the website for Australia designer brand, Easton Pearson.
The aim was to refresh and modernise the 20 year old brand with a website design which is as confident and bold as their designs.
Mr Simple Australia Webdesign Design
We’re lucky enough to have picked up Australian clothing and apparel supremos Mr Simple as a new client this year.
We began working with them at the start of the year to develop and implement their new website design and things have blossomed from there.
Throughout the year we’ve traveled to their studio in Byron Bay to work directly with their team to refine their web strategy and increase the effectiveness of their SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and Conversion Rates.
So far it’s really paid off for them a 49% increase in search traffic over 2 months and a 50-60% increase in customer purchase conversion rates.
The big wild world of the web is a tough one, but Mr Simple are living proof of how a proactive attitude and a willingness to constantly evolve and experiment leads to nothing but good things.
They’re also proof that a designer is only as good as his client

The hottest day of summer 4 meter surf… and I”m running around in the heat preparing and sending off our entry to New York for the Type Directors Club awards. Here”s hoping the subtle use of phrases like “I”m super optimistic!” will help in オンライン カジノ subliminally persuading the judges to award Otama the title of Typeface Of The Year.
Fingers crossed.
