(About)

The studio.

An independent web design and development studio. Founder-led, senior craft, built to be run by you. Based in Adelaide, Australia, working worldwide.

We're an independent web design and development studio. We take the time to understand how a business actually works, then design and build a website that's sharp, fast, and genuinely easy to run yourself.

(Founder)

Meet Lachlan.

Black Salt Studio is led, from first call to launch day, by Lachlan. The person who scopes your project is the person who designs it and writes the code underneath. No account layer, no handoff to juniors, no part of the work quietly sent to someone you never meet.

That's a deliberate choice. It keeps the thinking consistent the whole way through, and it means every decision on your site can be explained, not just delivered. The result is work that feels considered, because it genuinely was.

I think the best websites feel inevitable. Considered to the point that nothing about them feels like a decision.

(How We Work)

A considered process,
start to finish.

01
Understand first

We learn how your business works, who it's for, and what it needs to do, before we design a single screen.
02
Design with intent

Every element earns its place. Editorial and considered, never decorative for its own sake.
03
Build it to last

Hand coded, fast, and stable. Built on solid systems that hold up long after launch day.
04
Hand it over

You finish owning all of it: the site, the system, and the know-how to run it without us.
