Small studio. Big-site standards.
Ranga is a two-person web studio in Melbourne. We exist because we were tired of the same things you are – hidden fees, account managers who can’t read code, and websites that look like they were built in 2010.
We kept the craft. We cut the overhead.
Most “agencies” are a layer of project managers sitting between you and whoever actually does the work. Briefs get diluted, timelines slip, and the invoice keeps climbing.
We do it the other way around. You talk directly to the designer and the developer – the same two people from the first call to launch day and beyond. No telephone game, no agency-speak, no surprise line items.
The result is simple: fewer projects, more attention, and websites that quietly do their job for years.
No middle-men.
Two people. No account managers.
You’ll talk to the person doing the work. Always. We hire when we can’t ship without it – and we still haven’t needed to.
// FOUNDER · MELBTristan Nyhuis
Founder of Ranga. Strategy, build and everything technical – the same person from your first call to launch day and every change after. Would rather ship a fast site than sit in a meeting about one.
// STUDIO · MELBDaniel Schlegel
The other half of the studio. Designs and builds alongside Tristan, and the reason every page looks as sharp as it loads. Hands on the work, not the account-management playbook.
Four rules we don’t bend.
They keep the studio small, the work honest, and the invoices boring – in a good way.
Price it up front.
No “custom quote” that scales to your budget. You see the number before we start, and that’s the number you pay.
Talk to the maker.
No account managers. The people designing and coding your site are the people you email, call and sign off with.
You keep your content.
Your content, domain and data are yours. Leave at the end of your term and we hand over a clean export, no friction.
Right tool, not our tool.
Custom code or WordPress, whichever genuinely fits your goal. We’d rather build the right thing than the familiar thing.
Ship, then stay.
We don’t vanish at launch. Hosting, updates and care are all part of your monthly plan – not a separate invoice every time you need a tweak.
Say no a lot.
We take fewer jobs on purpose. It’s the only way to give each one the attention a good site actually needs.
Let’s build something that earns its keep.
Tell us about the business. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right studio for it – and what it’d cost.
