The difference

Why Hike?

We know what a website and the marketing behind it costs a business, and we treat that money like it is our own. Every site is built with care, easy to navigate, quick to load and simple to find, because that is what turns a visitor into a customer.

What you get is web design and SEO that produces something you can actually measure. Not a digital presence for the sake of one, but a business asset that brings in enquiries and books jobs.

Meet the founder

Hi, I’m Lachlan

Since launching Hike in 2018, I have worked with local businesses across all kinds of industries with one thing in mind: return on investment.

A website should not just tick the box of having a digital presence. It should be a real business asset that brings in leads, books jobs and builds your reputation. These days that means more than a good-looking site, it means the whole system behind it working for you. If that is what you are after, let’s talk.

Our vision

To become the number one reviewed website design agency in Victoria

We work with startups, small businesses and large operations alike, providing professional and reliable website design and SEO with results you can measure. Right now that is a 5.0 rating from 70 Google reviews, and we intend to keep earning them.

Every step of the process from gathering information, creating and going live with our website was an easy process. There was a lot of communication and we were able to follow the development as it progressed. Great work Lachlan, thank you.

We approached Lachlan about setting up a web page for our business and could not be happier with the end result. The process was very easy and nothing was too much trouble due to many changes we made. I’d highly recommend Lachlan if you’re considering a web design.

From the moment we first engaged Lachlan his service and attention to detail was first class, there is no doubt our business is deriving huge benefit due to Lachlan’s skill, we could not recommend highly enough.

Our new website, created by Lachlan from We Are Hike, has just launched and we couldn't be happier with the result! Lachlan was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the process and very quick to respond to emails and calls. The live deployment was quick and smooth and we have already had some great feedback for our new look. We would highly recommend We Are Hike. Thanks again Lachlan!

Lachlan is a true professional in every area of his business. He knows the ins and outs of developing a website and also can give best advice based on your business model. I highly recommend him for this and also his incredible efficiency and quick responses. He is also very patient, an attribute not many carry. I can't really fault anything through the process in which he helped me build and develop my website from start to end.

We approached Hike to discuss a functional website that could handle our club's online membership subscriptions, apparel sales, and event registrations. Since deploying, membership management and marketing have never been easier. We're now able to reach specific member types and sponsors at any time with the click of a button through MailChimp, and track the club's membership growth each year with real data. We'd highly recommend Hike for eCommerce website design and are very happy with the end result.
