About us

We’re not your ordinary, humdrum web design agency. We craft websites from a whole-of-business perspective and hold ourselves to the high standards that you should expect from a team of seasoned professionals.

Our mission is to make clever websites and marketing systems...

Our website framework is clever at its core, with every design decision thoughtfully connected to your business goals to boost brand value and the value of your business. We don’t think this is rocket science, but the fact that so many web design agencies and freelance web designers don’t focus on the whole of your digital ecosystem makes a lot of room for easy wins for you and us.

...that make it easier to run your business.

We go the extra mile to systematise your digital workflow, taking advantage of automation technology to make your website work for you — saving you time and money, future-proofing your business, and making you look more professional in the eyes of your clients.

We acknowledge — and are incredibly grateful for — the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

We are:

Big thinkers. Hard workers. Problem solvers. Storytellers. Human. Honest. Experienced. Data-driven. Ammunition. System savvy. Canny. Whammy. Fixers. Mixers. Stress relievers. Process pirates. Digital pilots. Better, together. We are CLVR.

We aren't:

Pleasers. Appeasers. Money squeezers. Spammy. Hammy. Oh so glammy. Pixel pushers. Branding butchers. Shirkers. Berserkers. Low skill workers. Studio slaves. Riding waves. Plunging clients into digital caves. 

Working better, together, CLVR.

I'm in the States and working with a savvy WordPress expert in Sydney was ideal. I made my list at the end of the workday for me, and handed it off to Nic. When I got back to the office in the morning, my entire list of tasks on our project was completed. It felt like magic! Thank you Nic for your "clever" approach to website design and strategy!

Hey, I'm Nic!

I’m the Founder of Studio Clvr and the main point of contact for the businesses we work with. I’ve been steering this ship since 2012. Over that time Studio Clvr has evolved in line with the high level strategic output and systems-focussed work that gets me out of bed in the morning and that provides the most rewarding results and success stories from our clients. I love getting to know and understand your business. And I thrive on the long-term partnerships formed both with clients and with the amazing local and international experts who make up the Studio Clvr team.

Want to know more about what makes me tick? 

We’ve used Studio Clvr to create market-facing materials for some very niche audiences. Both the service and creative output from Studio Clvr has been excellent. I’ve really enjoyed the collaboration and enthusiasm that Studio Clvr brings to the work we’re doing together. And the quality of materials that we’ve produced has been met with a lot of enthusiasm from the wider business. It’s been a great partnership that we look forward to continuing.

Clever success stories

 Clever takes care, experience and skill. Our standards are high and every decision we make is with purpose for the betterment of your business.

Giving back 

We’re part of Pledge 1%, where we promise to donate 1% (we give more for sure) of our time to give just a little bit back.

In the past this has included things like mentoring primary school girls and guiding them through the Tech Girls Are Superheroes competition, mentoring women at the Sydney Writers Festival, running pro bono sessions for startups at Fishburners, sponsorship and mentoring for startups as part of the annual UTS Startup Awards.

We also make regular contributions to a number of charities, with the main focus this year being for the House of Welcome, providing shelter, legal aid and other services to refugees seeking asylum.
