Where we work

Brand and website design for Australian startups

4080 Studio is a design and engineering studio based in India that works remotely with startups and companies in Australia. We design and build brands, websites, and digital products, with several shared hours every afternoon for live calls and async work in between.

How we work with Australian startups

Your afternoon is our morning, so live calls and reviews sit in the second half of your day. Because we finish several hours after you do, feedback sent in your afternoon is often acted on before you are back at your desk. Perth teams get most of their working day in common with ours.

What we do

Brand strategy and identity, conversion-focused websites, product design, and AI features, designed and built in-house. Every project starts with positioning, so the brand and the site say something specific about why you are different.

Why Australian teams work with a studio in India

Senior studio rates in Sydney and Melbourne put good brand and web work out of reach for many early teams. A small senior studio in a nearby time zone gives you the same calibre of work and direct access to the people doing it, for considerably less, with a working rhythm that suits a team a few hours ahead.

Straight answers.

Does 4080 Studio work with companies in Australia?

Yes. We are based in Uttarakhand, India and work with startups and businesses across the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia. Work with Australian startups runs remotely, with founder sessions up front to get the strategy right.

How do calls work across time zones?

In your afternoon, which is our morning. Sydney and Melbourne are 4.5 hours ahead of India, or 5.5 during daylight saving, so a 2pm call in Sydney is 9:30am or 8:30am for us. Perth is only 2.5 hours ahead, so most of the day is shared.

How much does a project cost?

We scope each project to the work rather than selling fixed packages. For context, a custom marketing site from a design studio typically runs $5,000 to $30,000 (roughly A$7,500 to A$46,000) in 2026, and a full brand identity $10,000 to $50,000 (roughly A$15,000 to A$76,000).
