Creating Websites With A Certain Feel
We pride ourselves of having a multi award winning UI/UX team that is able to deliver a strong theme to your business, leaving your visitors with a certain feel that they are going to have a premium service with you. Just like entering a shop that has been renovated and designed for the ease of the shopper, that is our approach towards designing a site that is easy to navigate and wows the user from the moment they land...

SEO Agencies Use Us to Make Their Site
SEO agencies help create value for every business by helping them rank their sites on search engines. Knowing the importance of having a good front page and overall web design to keep the audiences engaged, Studio Hawk has tasked us to spruce up their site. Why? Because SEO only brings people to the site, but a strong cohesive brand message supported by great design is what causes them to stay.

Designing for Designers
John Sands needed to switch their focus from retail card sales to online and hired us to do the job of getting more traffic onto their online store. John Sands have been a household name for making occasions special with their beautiful card designs. For a business who relies on design to sell their products, we were priveleged to be tasked on redesigning their site.

Award Winning Websites
This is one of our award-winning websites which we designed with the intent of bringing the user through a journey of what Repurpose It was about, as they scrolled down the home page, without reading. Parallax effect applied tastefully throughout to really bring the message home that this was a site that dealt with waste responsibly and dutifully. Using the colours of green to convey the environmental message contained within. This was the User Experience thought through by our team of professionals not because we had the head knowledge of the business, but because we captured the heart of it.

Strong Brand Message Delivered In Clean Designs
Sometimes less is more and we understand the need for a business to deliver its message quickly. Putting photos in websites may sometimes be distracting from the message itself due to the clutter of colours that come with it. Which is where graphic art comes in to fix. Allowing just a few choice colours backing up a message delivered in high contrast may be all that your business needs to bring the message home.

Giving Your Brand A Premium Feel
Sometimes the quality of your product or service can be under valued because of perception. Here at Chromatix, we are all about making customers see what you see in your own products and service. To create the same belief and to bring you back to the why you are doing what you do. We make it our business to understand yours so we can highlight the best things about what you have to offer forefront and center.

Web Design for Food Addiction Organization
"Everything worked out better than we could’ve imagined; the whole process was so seamless."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
The co-founder of an organization that helps people overcome addictive food behaviors that lead to health issues and weight gain. We have a community of food addiction coaches and a range of products that include personal coaching, books, courses, and memberships.
What challenge were you trying to address with Chromatix?
We decided that we needed to have a more professional customer-facing website with booking functionalities, and Chromatix helped us with that.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We asked Chromatix to build a whole new website for us. Our old one had good bits to it, but we had put a lot of it together ourselves. I started by telling Irwin (Director) what we required and he went on to do the design for our website. He created a whole new look and feel and architected some of the backend structures as well.
He actually recommended someone else to do that development since we were on a very tight budget. We brought in everything else from the old site such as the CRM system, LearnDash plugin for our courses, ActiveCampaign for our email management, and WooCommerce. We retained all of the same integrations and updated these so as to improve the speed of the site and allow it to accommodate fancier graphics.
The new website was built on WordPress and Irwin designed it in such a way that I could add content myself without ruining the layout.
What is the team composition?
I worked with Irwin and two other designers.
How did you come to work with Chromatix?
I did a Google search for creative development and design agencies in Melbourne and found Irwin at the top of the results. Immediately looked at his website and decided to work with him.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent about $13,500.
What is the status of this engagement?
We kicked off in July 2020 and took about six months to complete the design. I still go to Irwin for questions, which he is always amazingly helpful with.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our conversion rate has gone up, but I can't wholly attribute it to the design since we were doing different bits and pieces of the structure with the other development agency. However, I consider it a success that Chromatix was able to execute the feel that we wanted. That was the biggest part because we didn't have that before. We’re very happy with what our website is putting across as it has helped change the way we do things on our end as well.
How did Chromatix perform from a project management standpoint?
The project management was above and beyond. Every step of the way, the communication was good and I was never in the dark and never made to wait. Irwin was so prompt return calls, especially in the beginning when we were sorting out how we could work together to achieve what I wanted on the budget that I had. He just got back to us straight away, understood where we were coming from, and very quickly captured the vibe that we were wanted to get across on our website.
I've never come across anyone who was such a relief to work with. We’ve worked with a lot of people who just never do what they say, but Chromatix was fantastic.
We communicated through Zoom and email and used the InVision app to look at the actual design, trade comments and inputs, and make updates.
What did you find most impressive about them?
I can't say enough about their speed and communication. Irwin was so intuitive and really listened to us. Everything worked out better than we could’ve imagined; the whole process was so seamless.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, there aren’t.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Don’t be afraid to bring all your ideas to Chromatix because they will be able to make sense of them and incorporate them into their design. They really listen, so you can leave it to them to get the job done.

Web Design & Development for Unified Communications Solution
“She made sure that the timelines were really clear and that everything was running on schedule.”
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the head of marketing at Access4, a wholesale unified communications business. Our business is about creating carrier-grade unified communication solutions and expandable product roadmaps.
We have a proprietary platform that automates and simplifies the provisioning, management, and invoicing. Managed service providers can add a voice product suite onto their product offering with ease. It’s a really powerful solution and a really powerful value proposition but a very difficult premise to communicate.
What challenge were you trying to address with Chromatix?
We weren’t sure how to promote our product, how to gain interest, and how to acquire the right audiences. We needed to balance the benefits of being a partner with us with the needs of our end-users, who are actually looking for a high-quality enterprise-level solution.
We really needed a website that would be able to convey that message to the right audience and grab their attention.
What was the scope of their involvement?
They rebuilt our website including the design and new brand positioning. They wrote new content.
We have a really strong style guide with some really lovely blue to teal colors and strong gradient elements but they weren’t utilized very well. The previous site was very blocky and it had a lot of stock imagery. The formatting was odd and it had hierarchy issues. It didn’t have the functionality to offer landing pages that we could run campaigns. Due to the poor design, the site wasn't optimized for conversion. By rebuilding the website, Chromatix was able to fix a lot of the formatting and functionality issues we had.
I also needed a marketing head to run this as opposed to just a web agency. I was a one-person team and really needed to pair with an agency that I didn’t have to explain things to. Chromatix really thought about UI/UX design and conversion, and understood how the tech space design and industry trends would need to influence the site.
What is the team composition?
I spoke with the CEO about what we were looking for from a proposal process. Once we were past that stage, I was working with a project manager, a designer, and a head of development. I worked predominantly through the project manager and pulled in the other two as required for more specific things.
How did you come to work with Chromatix?
I started searching for conversion-focused website agencies that would still be able to deliver a great design. After performing a Google search, Chromatix really stood out to me because their website was exactly what I’d want to see from my project. I had an initial conversation with Irwin (Director). Right away, he demonstrated his attention to detail. Additionally, his experience exceeded other agencies.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent less than $40,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in May–August 2020.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We saw a substantial drop of traffic, but that’s common after platform migration projects. However, our conversion rate improved, which was really great. Since then, we’ve seen bounces decrease by about 13%, while search duration has gone up by 22%, and pages per session increased by 24%. As a result, we saw 100% conversion rate increase.
It really showed that we were able to nail down that language and customer journey, and Chromatix played a key role in that. They went through and reviewed the content. Irwin asked me questions to make sure everything was right. I definitely felt supported in the marketing aspect as well.
The website has actually influenced our brand across all of our channels. It’s changed the way that we do our social. It’s changed the way we create our brochures. It’s changed the way we create our videos. Everything that we’ve done has spun off of this website. That speaks to how paramount their contribution was.
How did Chromatix perform from a project management standpoint?
It was a really seamless process. The project manager kept everything in check. She made sure that the timelines were really clear and that everything was running on schedule. It was a very paced exercise. We had some extremely tight timelines. The website needed to be completed within three months, so we required same day approvals and constant communication. They were really great about it from day one, which helped them meet the deadline.
The communication was great. They didn’t feel like a supplier to me — they felt like an extension of my team. All along, they supported me. Through the proposal process to get board approval to getting the project over the finish line, they helped me through the process. I would not hesitate to work with this team again. It was such a great achievement.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They really understand conversion, marketing, and B2B. During development, they kept our business objectives in mind. When I sat down with the designers and developers, I really got a sense of the breadth of their expertise and how they push things in their field to create websites that are more innovative and more creative than what we typically see from an agency. They completed that needed to be done.
Are there any areas they could improve?
We had a range of server, security, and hosting requirements that they hadn’t seen before. That was uncharted territory for them, but now they have a better understanding of those requirements. The only thing that would have made a difference during that time would be having our project manager in on it sooner. She was probably pulled in a little bit later.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Take the time and explain your business and your business objectives. If they get it, they will deliver.
