Andrew & Billy - what a blessing to have met you two! You completely transformed my website into something more modern, interactive and user friendly. The website you delivered was done in timely manner and at an affordable price not to mention giving the feel of a high-end brand. It was a pleasure liaising with you both and I couldn’t be happier with the final outcome. Highly recommend to any small business owner.

We’ve had a fantastic experience working with Onrai Studio on the Play Live Melbourne website. Billy worked closely with our team to deliver a massive upgrade from our previous website, integrating our internal systems, live data through APIs, and backend automations that have significantly streamlined our day-to-day operations. What really sets Billy apart is his technical expertise, attention to detail and collaborative approach. He’s incredibly responsive, easy to work with and always quick to find solutions. Our collaboration continues well beyond the initial launch. We’re constantly introducing new features, refining existing ones and finding ways to improve, and Billy is always available and prompt in making it happen. We couldn’t be happier with the website and the ongoing support. Highly recommend Onrai Studio to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable and dedicated development partner!

The PlayLive Melbourne website on two phones

We design every page at phone size before we touch the desktop layout, so a Southbank customer on their phone gets the whole site, not a squeezed one.

  • A call button in the header on every page
  • The enquiry form one tap away
  • Photos sized for the phone, so pages load fast on mobile data

Websites for Southbank businesses

Southbank is a few blocks wide and busier than most suburbs ten times its size. Restaurants and bars line the promenade, the arts precinct pulls crowds every night, Crown fills a block on its own, and the towers above are full of apartments, hotel rooms and offices. Nearly every customer is on a phone, deciding between you and the place next door in the time it takes to walk past. Your website is read in that moment, on a small screen, often on a slow connection in a crowd.

We build sites as real production code, written by hand and reviewed by our team. No page builders, no rented templates. That's why they load fast on a phone, hold their layout on any screen, and give Google clean pages to rank. For a Southbank restaurant that means the menu, the booking link and the opening hours sit at the top, with tonight's details one tap away. For an office or a hotel-adjacent business it means a page that explains what you do before the reader has scrolled.

We've built sites that do a lot of work behind the scenes. PlayLive Melbourne runs a live tournament feed, rankings and a merch shop through a dashboard the venue updates itself. Elusive Racing sells retail and wholesale and takes workshop bookings from the same site. Soft Florals has an editorial storefront with a shop and events. If your business needs bookings, a shop, a members area or a feed that updates on its own, we've done it in code before.

Southbank businesses also carry a search problem the rest of Melbourne doesn't. The suburb is dense, the competition is a few doors away, and a visitor searching from the promenade sees whoever Google trusts most, not whoever is closest. So we write pages that name what you do and where you are in plain words, add the structured data Google reads, and set up or tidy your Google Business Profile so it agrees with the site. Those are the things a local ranking is built on. We can't promise a position and won't pretend to, but we can make sure the foundations are there.

Every project starts with a written quote, fixed before any work begins. There are no hourly surprises and no scope that grows on its own. You see the homepage designed free before you commit to anything. Most sites are live in weeks. If you run a business in Southbank, South Wharf or the arts precinct and your website undersells the place, send it through. We'll tell you what we'd keep, what we'd fix and what it would cost. Run our free website audit first if you'd rather see a score before you talk to anyone.

Our web design and development services also cover SEO, Google Ads, transactional emails, hosting and ongoing care for your Southbank site after launch. Pricing is up front in our affordable website design packages. If you sell online, we build ecommerce websites the same way: fast, custom-coded stores with your whole catalogue. Trades get their own page, websites for tradies, and if you already have a site, our free website audit scores it on speed, Google and design before we talk.
