tailored digital experiences
We specialise in designing WordPress & Shopify websites for the tourism & leisure, hospitality, food & drinks brand, ecommerce and leisure industries. Our web design inspires your customers to eat, drink and travel while showcasing your brand online.
Based in Noosa, one of Australia’s food and travel hotspots, we are a web design Sunshine Coast specialist, we also work across Australia and around the world.
A home for your brand
Every site is built to bring the brand to life. The visual language, the photography, the way the story unfolds, all shaped around what makes it distinctive.
An experience, not just an interface
We think about the whole journey, from how someone finds the site to the moment they book, buy or get in touch. The work is in the small decisions that make it feel easy, especially on a phone where most of the decisions get made.
A CMS that doesn’t get in your way
We build on platforms that let you actually run your site, with a structure designed for the people managing it day to day. We are WordPress and Shopify specialists.

Our Technology Partners
better technology behind the scenes
As web developers, our first goal is always to make sure our websites are functional and easy-to-use. That’s why we opt for WordPress & Shopify. These platforms allows us to create back-end functionality that’s seamless, intuitive, and easy for you (and your customers) to use.
Best-Practice Web Development
Our website design process begins with a thorough understanding of your company, brand and business objectives. We will meet with you in order to gain a deep understanding of your industry, target audiences, and goals which will enable us to clearly define user flows and website architecture.
Advanced Security
Internet security is a huge concern. With both your personal and customer information at stake, you don’t want to take any chances. At Social Tap, we ensure that your website is protected by multiple layers of security and proactively defend your website from new & existing threats.
Intelligently Optimised SEO
First and foremost, our designs are built for search engine optimisation (SEO). We create unique designs that are easily scannable by search engines. In addition to a basic layout, we ensure that all of our coding is compliant with popular search engines like Google.
Managed Updates & Backups
A website is never done, it’s always changing. This is why we don’t take a set-it-and-forget-it approach to web development. Instead, we build sites on WordPress and manage them with ongoing updates that are performed in real time. Backups are taken daily to further add to your peace of mind.
Digital products, built around the work they need to do
Customer portals, microsites, landing pages, industry hubs, and bespoke digital experiences for the moments in a brand’s calendar that need something purpose-built. Each one designed around what it needs to do, and the people using it.
Website FAQs
Will my website be easy to update?
Yes. We build all our websites on WordPress with a Visual Editor, which means our websites are simple for you and your team to manage and update.
How long will it take to build my website?
Our average web design delivery time frame from project start to finish is 6 weeks. However, this timeframe will be reduced if there are no delays in receiving content from the client.
If you have a specific deadline to meet, please discuss this with us. Chances are we will be able to work with you and deliver your web design to meet the deadline.
What is a responsive website?
Responsive websites intelligently adjust their layout to suit the device or screen it is being viewed on, without losing or distorting pages and images.
Our web development process is mobile first, meaning we design for mobile devices first and then build for tablet and desktop.
Can I see some examples of your web design?
Yes. Since we started building websites for Hospitality and Tourism we have built over 400 websites. Please head over to our Website Portfolio page to see some of our recent projects.
Will my website be SEO friendly?
Yes. All our websites are built from the ground up with online marketing and SEO as a top priority. We work with you to determine the best keywords to target before a single line of code is written. This ensures we optimise your position in Google, and that your website contributes as a key component of your marketing strategy.
Will my website be integrated with my social media?
As social media is kind of our ‘thing’, we make sure all our websites are integrated with social channels to encourage customers to share your content and spread the word about how great you are!
Is training included in the price?
#featuresYes. Once the site goes live we run through a complete training session on how to manage and update your website.
Is web hosting included in the price?
Yes. Your first 12 months hosting as well as 12 months plugin and WordPress updates are included in the price.
Can I sell products through my website?
The web development platform we build on has online shopping capabilities built in. So if you decide in the future to start selling Gift Vouchers or Merchandise we can add shopping cart functionality later on.
