Food & Beverage

In the heart of Coolangatta is a relaxed, sophisticated space to enjoy food, coffee and beach-inspired drinks, consciously and locally sourced. Vanilla Lily tasked us with the website design that needed to maintain a beachside, graceful aesthetic tone. While being clean, modern, and straightforward in functionality, we still needed to add a feminine touch to make the site stand out from the competition.

With unparalleled views of the Gold Coast hinterland and skyline, this bar on level 5 of the new HOTA Gallery will be like nowhere else on the Coast. The incredible views matched with delicious tapas and cocktail menu, all designed to be the perfect place to unwind after taking in some art. HOTA Gallery is fast becoming Australia’s best contemporary cultural playground, so when they approached Thrive for a website design, we were beyond excited to get started. We designed a minimal and modern design with a soft colour scheme that allowed the specialty cocktails inspired the major art exhibitions to be front and centre.

The newest fine dining experience on the Gold Coast, located on the Ground Level of HOTA Gallery, offering fresh local, high-quality produce. Much like the gallery itself, Palette aims to impress and captivate its guests with a modern Australian menu inspired by the major exhibitions. HOTA approached with a tight deadline, but the team at Thrive was quick to act and excited to a part of the evolving on the Gold Coast cultural scene. We created a clean, sophisticated, and effortless site showcasing the native ingredients and the restaurant’s warm and inviting aesthetic. 

A weekend farmers market bringing the goods to the Gold Coast since early 2000, The Market Co. GC never fail to deliver the feel-good weekend vibes. With fresh, locally-grown produce, unique artisan treasures and live music from local artists, these markets are the perfect place to enjoy your weekend coffee. 

When The Market Co. GC approached Thrive for the design of their website, we jumped at the opportunity. Working closely alongside their team, we created an organic feel for an easy-to-navigate site using clean illustrations and a vibrant palette. The outcome is a fresh and dynamic website, the perfect online presence for a fresh and dynamic local business.

A family-owned & operated business, Byron Bay Coffee has grown organically since 1989. Through hard work and determination, the family and team behind these great blends are proud to produce the best quality coffee, and here at Thrive we knew they deserved a website to reflect this.

We consciously designed the Byron Bay Coffee website with unique elements, elegant illustrations and the intentional use of white space, to give a fresh and modern, yet wholesome and relaxed feel throughout, with an easy to navigate layout. The team are really happy with the end product, and so are we.

After a recent site-build they were unhappy with, we gave their new site a structural overhaul that has a fresh, new approach. Without over-complicating things, we breathed new energy into it, making it a much more effective experience for the user. With the restrictions of delivering freshly made products on certain days of the week, the site features some clever date selection during checkout. We also introduced a new Juice Club subscription feature with automatic payments and several packages.

The site is working really well and we’ve hardly pushed it all!

An amazing new fine-dining restaurant and bar in the heart of Surfers, Seascape caters for a range of users, from tourists and families to critics and corporate high flyers. We wanted to carry over the feel of the awe-inspiring three-level venue into the website and achieved this with large impressive images and detailed content. Each level has its own online menu, drink lists and image gallery.
