Custom web design, SEO and ongoing website management for Coogee businesses. Hospitality, wellness and services in a beachside suburb with a heavy visitor season.
This website was everything I had dreamed of. The team at MindSite were so easy to deal with and made the process easy. I will never deal with anyone else and I am so thankful to you all. AAA+

Why it matters here
Coogee runs on a season and a beachfront. Cafes, restaurants, bars, gyms, studios, wellness and allied health, plus the retail that serves both locals and a summer crowd that arrives in numbers and leaves again. Two customer bases with completely different habits.
Which puts unusual pressure on the site. It has to convert a local looking for a regular, and a visitor deciding in ninety seconds on a phone held outdoors in bright sun with sand on their hands. Slow loading or hidden hours costs you both.
So we build for the harder of the two. Fast on a phone outdoors, hours that are always correct, booking or ordering one tap away, and photography that shows the actual place rather than a stock beach.

What is included
Priced on what the business actually needs. For hospitality and visitor businesses that usually means fewer pages, faster, with booking front and centre. Custom website design, web development, photography direction and ongoing support in one place.
Built for someone standing outside with a phone, deciding now. Photos that look like the real place, prices where people expect them, and no interruption between wanting and booking. Responsive websites first, desktop second.
Set up for the searches that happen within a few hundred metres of you, plus the planning searches people make before they arrive. Local optimisation for both, because they are very different intents.
WordPress so hours, menus and specials can be changed from a phone in two minutes. Responsive websites as standard, your brand identity applied across the site, and WooCommerce or Shopify behind it if you sell online as well as in person.
Your options
Not every job is a rebuild. Sometimes the site is fine and the booking path is the problem. Sometimes the photos are doing the damage. We scope to whatever is actually losing you the sale, measured against your business goals.
Fast on a phone in bright sun, honest about hours, obvious about how to book or order, and photographed so the place looks like itself. Tailored to your trading pattern, and usually the centre of the whole online presence.
Built for the visitor researching a week out as well as the one outside now: what to expect, how to get there, what it costs and what else is nearby. E-commerce added where you sell gift cards, tickets or product.
A decade of client work
Local, not "servicing the area"
Our office is in Quakers Hill, which is a long way from Coogee and we are not going to dress that up. We come over for photography and the kick off, and run the rest remotely the way most agencies do anyway.
What you get in exchange is a team without eastern suburbs overheads. The same work, quoted by a studio whose rent is not being funded by your project, which for a single venue or a small practice is often the difference between a proper site and a compromise.
On search, Coogee sits at position twelve for us already, which is close enough that content depth and speed work should move it. Locally the competition is mostly small studios and a few directories rather than anything formidable.
Whichever is easier for you. We will come to you, look at the work and take our own photographs, or you are welcome at our office with the site up on a big screen. Either way the person across the table is the person building it.
Send us your current website and we will show you who is above you, what they have that you do not, and whether photography, content or a rebuild is the honest fix.
Straight answers
What hospitality and visitor businesses ask us first, answered without the sales pitch.
It depends on scale and how much photography is needed. Good images cost real money here and are worth it. We scope it and give you one fixed quote before anything starts.
Four to six weeks, and the photography is usually what sets the pace. We plan the shoot around your quiet periods rather than fighting service.
Yes, and locally it is very winnable. Being the obvious answer within a few kilometres matters more than city wide rankings. No promises of position one.
No, and for Coogee most of it will run remotely. We come over for photography, which is usually the single biggest improvement available to a venue.
Nearby
We cover Coogee and the eastern beaches across to the city. These are the closest.
Three quick steps, under a minute. We come back to you with straight answers, clear pricing and a plan you can keep whether you go ahead or not.
Bring your current website, or just tell us what the business is and how people find you in summer. We will map out the pages and show you the direction before the build begins.
