What Is Splat Graphics and What Web Services Does It Offer?
Updated
Splat Graphics is a web design and development provider based on Sydney's Northern Beaches (the Manly and Brookvale area). It builds websites and, just as importantly, supports and maintains them afterward — across platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Magento and Bigcommerce. If you need a site that works on all devices and someone to keep it running and fix problems quickly, that is the service it describes.
What Splat Graphics does
The site positions the business around two connected jobs: creating a web presence, and keeping it working once it is live.
- Website design and development — building sites intended to work on all devices (PCs, phones and tablets), not just desktop.
- CMS-based builds — work across Joomla, WordPress, Magento and Bigcommerce, so the platform can be matched to the project rather than fixed in advance.
- Website support and maintenance — fixing issues, keeping sites up to date, and helping clients maintain their own sites.
- Ongoing assistance — support when clients make mistakes or need help with changes.
Platforms supported
| Platform | Typical use suggested by the site |
|---|---|
| WordPress | General website support and builds |
| Joomla | Website support and builds |
| Magento | E-commerce builds (one client notes a Magento site built in 2016 with ongoing support since) |
| Bigcommerce | E-commerce support |
The site also references better rankings on Google and mobile website support as part of its offering.
How the support side works
The stated approach is to fix the website issue and then work with you to keep the site current — including enabling you to maintain your own site, and stepping in if you make a mistake. This is a "can do" style of support aimed at getting jobs done quickly.
Client feedback on the site reinforces this pattern:
- A Darling Harbour Marina contact describes Splat maintaining and updating four company websites, and solving problems with a logical, common-sense approach.
- An IMAP contact credits Splat with improving operational reliability and turning the website into an essential business tool, while also asking Mark to implement critical new feature pages as part of regular services.
- BestDirect Online notes a Magento build in 2016 with ongoing support since, covering technical issues "no matter how big or small."
- A Forestry Commission contact mentions maintaining and tweaking a SharePoint-based intranet at a competitive cost.
- A media publishing contact describes complex issues being fixed quickly.
- A Halytech contact highlights a site that still looks good years later, is well set out, easy for customers to search and find products, and works across PCs, phones and iPads.
Who this suits
Splat Graphics fits businesses and organisations on or near the Northern Beaches that want a site built on a mainstream CMS and, crucially, want a responsive support relationship afterward — including clients who prefer to handle some maintenance themselves but want a reliable fallback. The mix of testimonials (marina, support organisation, e-commerce, forestry, media, technology) suggests it works with both small businesses and organisations running multiple or content-heavy sites.
If you only need a one-off build with no ongoing maintenance, the support emphasis here is less relevant to you. If you need someone to keep several sites current and respond fast when something breaks, that is the core of what this provider describes.
