The dots are people, needs and technology. We find the connections.
Ladoo is a Squiz specialist agency, Australian owned and operated, and the longest-running independent Squiz specialist in the country. For sixteen years we have built and looked after Squiz Matrix and Squiz DXP sites for government, utilities, education and enterprise as a long-term partner, not a project team.
Why dots
The dots are all around us. They stand for people, emotions, needs, services, technology, challenges and answers. We find the right connections between them through analysis, strategy, design and technology, with the aim of making people’s lives a little easier.
We empathise, we design, we code, and we work as an extension of your team, taking on your needs, problems and users as our own. The most important connections are the human ones.
Our clients range across government and utilities, through universities and into commerce. We work closely with them to understand how their organisations run. Out of that, long relationships develop, and good outcomes follow.
Partners, not projects
Most agencies are built around the project: a brief, a build, a launch, a handover. Ladoo has never worked that way. We join a client’s team for the long run and treat the website as a product, not a deliverable. When a business need comes up, we ship the feature. When the next campaign lands, the site is ready for it.
That is why the same people who designed a site are still looking after it years later, why some of our clients have been with us for more than a decade, and why their sites get improved rather than replaced. Nothing gets handed to a second agency.
The aim is confidence. Confidence for the people publishing every day, with templates and workflow that make the right thing the easy thing. And confidence to keep building out the digital experience so it speaks to the audiences it is there for, without starting again each time.
