Hi, I’m Lachlan – founder and lead developer at Arteca.
A couple of years ago I met a girl from Germany. I wanted a career that wouldn’t lock me to one location, so I could spend time in Europe with her family one month, then back in Melbourne with mine the next.
So I taught myself to code the hard way: endless courses, YouTube rabbit holes, paid resources, and a ton of trial and error until I could build fast, clean websites from scratch.
While searching for date-night spots around Melbourne, I kept noticing the same thing: many great restaurants had an outdated design and websites that felt slow on mobile
That insight led to Arteca.
I specialise in one thing: custom, hand-coded websites built exclusively for Melbourne restaurants.
No templates. No bloat. Just sites that load lightning fast, look perfect on phones (where most diners search), and include local SEO foundations to help you rank higher for the searches that matter. The result? More bookings, fuller tables, more revenue
