Book an intro call →Websites for South Australian wineries that open fast on a phone, take tasting bookings and keep your shop, wine club and members exactly where they are.
Every dot is a real winery website, scored by Google's Lighthouse on a phone. Ninety is where Google starts calling it good.
Scores range from 19 to 76, average 45. 0 of 60 reached 90. Sites we have built score 98, 97, 98, 94, 93, 91.
How we tested: we ran Lighthouse (mobile, default settings) on each homepage and recorded what each site was built with and what it offered on a phone. The sample was picked at random from the directory, across the Barossa, McLaren Vale and Fleurieu, Adelaide Hills, Clare Valley and Coonawarra. No winery is named.

One calm age check, then the cellar door. Today's hours, where you are and Book a tasting, all on the first screen.
The median site took 9.1 seconds to show its main content on a mid-range phone, and the median page weighed 3.9 MB. Not one of the 60 reached 90 for mobile speed, whatever it was built on.
We build to score 90 or more on a phone, and you see the score on every preview before anything goes live.
41 of the 60 sites promote tastings or experiences. Only 17 of them take a booking online. The rest ask people to call, email or fill in a form and wait.
Book a tasting online, on the system you already use or a simple new one, with reminders and no back and forth.
Only 5 sites tell search engines they're a winery, and 14 give them no structured information at all. Opening hours and address are rarely readable by a machine.
Proper winery markup for hours, address, tastings, events and wines, so Google and AI assistants answer questions about you correctly.
What most visitors see first on a phone, next to what we’d build. Both show a sample winery.
Nearly every winery we tested already sells online, and that store holds your orders, members and history. So we don't replace it. We build the new site in front of the platform you already use. Checkout, club logins and email lists stay exactly where they are, and your members never have to sign up again.
Hours that are right today, how to find you, and tastings people can book in a few taps.
Why to join, what members get, and a sign-up that goes straight into your club platform.
Your wines on fast, beautiful pages, with checkout on the store you already run.
Long lunches, release days and blending sessions, each with its own page Google can find.
If you have a restaurant, rooms or a function space, they get pages that sell them properly.
A clean place for restaurants, bottle shops and distributors to find what they need.
Answers the three things every visitor asks first (is it open, is it worth the drive, how do I book) before they scroll.
A 30-minute call with the person who'll build your project. No pitch deck, no sales team. We'll look at what you have, what it needs to do, and whether we're the right fit.
Straight answers on your shop, your club, age checks and bookings.
Yes, and we recommend it. We build the new site in front of your existing store, so products, orders, checkout and customer accounts stay where they are. Nothing about how you run the shop has to change.
No. Club memberships, logins and payment details stay on your club platform, and your email lists stay connected. Members just see a better site.
If you sell wine online, age verification is part of selling responsibly, and we keep the checks your licence needs. What we change is how it feels: one calm step instead of a wall of pop-ups before anyone sees your winery.
Yes. We connect the booking system you already use, or set up a simple one, so people can choose a time and get a reminder without calling.
Yes. Each gets its own pages, with menus you can update yourself and enquiries that come straight to you.
Usually about four weeks from kickoff to live, and about four hours of your time. Your homepage comes first, and you see every page on a private link before anything changes.
Not if it's done properly. We keep the pages that already bring you visitors, point every old address at its closest new page, and check nothing breaks on launch day.
