SELECTED WORK

Before. After.
No stock templates.

Three concept builds, three completely different worlds. A nocturnal bathhouse, a cool-climate winery and a ten-seat omakase counter. Nothing recycled, nothing templated. That range is the point: we do not have a house style we bolt onto everyone.

CONCEPT WORK

Noir & Bloom, Kembla Ridge and Kuroba are concept builds. The businesses are fictional and the sites were designed and built by us, unprompted, to show how we work and what we can do. They are not client projects and we are not claiming them as such. Real client work is under NDA until launch.

Run by the two people you actually talk to.

Signal Labs is Dan and Jono. We sell it, design it, build it and answer the phone about it. No account managers, no offshore queue, no surprises.

  • NO TEMPLATES
  • NO LOCK-IN
  • NO ACCOUNT MANAGERS
  • NO SIX MONTH TIMELINES

CONCEPT BUILD / DAY SPA / BATHHOUSE

Noir & Bloom

A nocturnal bathhouse that opens when the city slows down. The old site was a purple-tiled relic with a scrolling banner and a hit counter. The new one looks like it costs money to walk into.

THE BRIEF

A nocturnal bathhouse that opens when the city slows down. The old site was a purple-tiled relic with a scrolling banner and a hit counter. The new one looks like it costs money to walk into.

The hero film was generated, graded and ping-pong looped in-house, so it plays forward and back with no visible cut.

WHAT WAS BROKEN
  • Comic Sans logo and a marquee banner
  • Stretched, squashed photos of the space
  • Prices buried in a table that broke on mobile
  • No booking flow, just a phone number
  • Invisible on Google for every treatment they offer
WHAT WE DID
  • Dark, moody art direction pulled from their own room
  • A cinematic hero film that loops seamlessly
  • Treatment menu that reads like a menu, not a spreadsheet
  • Booking as the primary action on every screen
  • Schema and local SEO built in from the first line

CONCEPT BUILD / WINERY / CELLAR DOOR

Kembla Ridge

A family ridgeline since 1987, selling single-vintage wine off a site that looked like a community noticeboard. We rebuilt it as a working ledger: every vintage, every block, on the record.

THE BRIEF

A family ridgeline since 1987, selling single-vintage wine off a site that looked like a community noticeboard. We rebuilt it as a working ledger: every vintage, every block, on the record.

The type is set in a wide grotesque at sizes most studios would not risk. On a winery, restraint is the risk.

WHAT WAS BROKEN
  • Clip-art grapes and a tiled background
  • Three different fonts, none of them chosen
  • Cellar door hours buried at the bottom
  • No way to see what was actually in the bottle
  • Zero reason for a tourist to drive out
WHAT WE DID
  • Brutalist editorial type at full bleed
  • A vintage ledger as the organising idea
  • Cellar door status live at the top of the page
  • Every wine traced to a single block and year
  • A hero film of the ridge at first light

CONCEPT BUILD / RESTAURANT / OMAKASE

Kuroba

Ten seats. One night. The old site was a template sushi page with a stock photo of a California roll. The new one sells the thing they actually do, which is put ten people in front of a chef and let him cook.

THE BRIEF

Ten seats. One night. The old site was a template sushi page with a stock photo of a California roll. The new one sells the thing they actually do, which is put ten people in front of a chef and let him cook.

Every element that did not sell the counter was cut. What is left is a room, a time, and a way in.

WHAT WAS BROKEN
  • Template layout shared with a thousand other restaurants
  • Stock imagery of food they do not serve
  • A PDF menu that would not open on a phone
  • No sense of scarcity, and scarcity is the product
  • Reservations handled by a phone number and hope
WHAT WE DID
  • Cinematic dark room, shot the way the counter feels
  • Kanji lockup and a red that only appears once
  • “Ten seats. One night.” as the whole pitch
  • Seatings and closures stated up front
  • Reserve as the only action worth taking

THE SIGNAL CHAIN

Three services.
One signal.

Each stage feeds the next. The site gives people somewhere to land, the marketing sends them there, and the retention layer keeps the ones you already paid to win. Most studios sell you one. We build the chain.

FREE, NO CATCH

The 7-Point
Website Teardown.

Send us your website and within 48 hours you get a recorded video of us walking through it, showing the seven places it is costing you bookings and exactly what we would do instead. It is free, it is specific to your business, and you can take it to any agency you like. We would rather you saw the problem than took our word for it.

INSTANT SCORE

Run it on your site. Right now.

Real data, pulled live from Google's own speed test. Takes about ten seconds.

SIGNAL LABS — LIVE SITE SCORE

How this works: this pulls live data straight from Google PageSpeed Insights — the same tool Google itself uses to judge your site. It checks performance, mobile experience, accessibility and SEO basics in real time. It can't tell you why people aren't booking though — that's the human part, and that happens on the call.

01 — CREATIVE

Look like
the real deal.

The front door. Every client starts here, and it is the reason the other two work at all.

IN: INVISIBLE ONLINEOUT: LOOKS EXPENSIVE

A custom website built around your actual space. Not a template with your logo dropped in. We look at your room, your light, your palette, and we build the site out of that. If the space is warm and cream, so is the site. If it is dark and moody, so is the site.

Every build is hand-coded. No Wix, no Squarespace, no page builder. That is why they load fast, why they rank, and why they do not look like everyone else.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
  • Custom website, designed and coded from scratch
  • Brand and visual identity if you need one
  • A cinematic hero film of your space
  • All copy written for you, with SEO woven in
  • Booking system wired to your existing tool
  • Mobile-perfect at every breakpoint
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
  • A site that looks more expensive than your competitors’
  • Search visibility for the treatments you actually sell
  • Bookings taken while you are asleep
  • A front door worth sending paid traffic to

02 — MARKETING

Get found
first.

A website nobody visits is an expensive business card. Local SEO, your Google Business Profile, and paid campaigns that put you in front of the people already searching for what you do.

IN: QUIET CALENDAROUT: BOOKED SOLID

Most local businesses are relying on word of mouth and hoping Google notices them. We don’t hope. We set up your Google Business Profile properly, build out local SEO around the suburbs and services you actually want to be found for, and run paid campaigns that put you in front of people who are already looking to book.

You’ll always know what’s working. No vanity metrics, no walls of jargon — just calls, messages and bookings we can trace back to a campaign.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
  • Google Business Profile setup and ongoing management
  • Local SEO targeting the suburbs and services you want to rank for
  • Paid search and/or social campaigns (Google Ads / Meta)
  • Monthly reporting in plain English — what worked, what didn’t, what’s next
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
  • Consistent enquiries instead of a feast-or-famine calendar
  • A clear line from ad spend to actual bookings
  • Visibility for the specific things you sell, not just your business name
  • A monthly check-in, not a black box

03 — LIFECYCLE

Stop losing
clients.

The cheapest customer is the one already in your books. Automated rebooking, review requests that actually get sent, and win-back campaigns for the regulars who quietly stopped coming.

IN: ONE-OFF VISITSOUT: REGULARS

Most businesses put all their effort into getting a new customer through the door once, then never talk to them again. We set up the systems that quietly bring them back — automated rebooking reminders, review requests that actually get sent at the right moment, and win-back messages for the regulars who’ve gone quiet.

None of it requires you to lift a finger day to day. It runs in the background while you focus on the people in the chair.

WHAT’S INCLUDED
  • Automated rebooking reminders and follow-ups
  • Review requests sent at the right moment, to the right clients
  • Win-back campaigns for clients who’ve stopped coming
  • Compliant opt-in/consent handling for all messaging
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
  • A calendar that fills itself with repeat clients
  • More reviews, without having to ask in person
  • Fewer clients quietly disappearing without you noticing
  • A retention system that runs whether you’re in the building or not

THE STUDIO

Two people.
No account managers.

Signal Labs is an Australian studio for businesses people photograph. Spas, salons, clinics, wineries, restaurants, hotels. Anywhere that how it looks is part of what you are selling.

Run by the two people you actually talk to.

Signal Labs is Dan and Jono. We sell it, design it, build it and answer the phone about it. No account managers, no offshore queue, no surprises.

  • NO TEMPLATES
  • NO LOCK-IN
  • NO ACCOUNT MANAGERS
  • NO SIX MONTH TIMELINES
  • YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
PARTNER — SALES & CREATIVE

Dan

Ex-accountant, ex-touring musician, four years in sales. Runs the client side, designs the work and writes the copy.

Spends a lot of his week on the phone to the owners themselves, which is how the work stays grounded in what those businesses actually need rather than what looks good in a portfolio.

PARTNER — GROWTH & RETENTION

Jono

Runs Marketing and Lifecycle. Local SEO, Google and Meta campaigns, and the retention systems that bring people back.

The half of the business that makes sure a finished website is the start of something rather than the end of it.

HOW WE WORK

The rules we don’t break.

ALWAYS
  • You own your domain, your data and your site
  • Hand-coded. Fast, every build
  • You see the work before you sign off on it
  • Straight answers about what will and will not work
NEVER
  • We never ask for your passwords or logins
  • No page builders, no plugin sprawl, no lock-in
  • No fake testimonials, no manipulated footage
  • No retainer you cannot leave
