Clear, Simple Web Design for Newcastle Businesses

At Candor Studios, we build websites that feel easy to use and even easier to manage — without the jargon, bloat, or fluff.

Founded in 2023, Candor was created to do things differently: by listening first, speaking plainly, and designing with clarity and real business goals in mind. We help Newcastle and Hunter Valley businesses untangle the chaos of the digital space and walk away with websites that actually work.

Meet Stephanie

Hi, I’m Stephanie — the person behind Candor Studios.

After more than 10 years in web development and design, I started Candor because I saw too many small businesses getting stuck with confusing advice, clunky websites, and tech that just didn’t work. I wanted to change that.

My approach is all about clarity and simplicity. With a background in admin, branding, and strategy, I focus on making websites that feel easy to use, easy to understand, and built with real business goals in mind.

Outside of work, I love reading, building Lego, going to the beach, and planning my next travel adventure.

If you’re ready for a website that actually helps your business grow — let’s build it together.
