Frequently Asked Questions
Who does the work at Creative Orbit?
Simon Bayliss directly — every project in this portfolio was built, photographed, or strategised by Simon personally. There are no subcontractors, no offshore teams, and no account managers between you and the person doing the work. Creative Orbit has operated this way since 2006.
What industries does Creative Orbit have the most experience with?
Regional and outback NSW tourism (Lightning Ridge, Darling River Run, Visit Outback NSW, Corner Country, Outback Beds — collectively representing 20+ years of destination digital strategy); industrial e-commerce (AMF Magnetics — sustained organic growth for industrial magnets across Australia); regional hospitality (outback NSW hotels, roadhouses, and stations); and Wollongong and Illawarra businesses across web design, SEO, and brand storytelling.
How long has Creative Orbit been operating?
Since 2006 — with the oldest active client relationships in this portfolio spanning nearly 20 years. That longevity is deliberate: the most valuable digital assets are built over years of continuous improvement, not delivered once and abandoned. Several projects here have gone through four or five major evolution phases under Simon's ongoing management.
Do you work with clients outside Wollongong and the Illawarra?
Yes — the majority of projects in this portfolio are regional and outback NSW, with clients across Lightning Ridge, Tibooburra, the Darling River corridor, outback Queensland connections, and metropolitan Sydney. The Wollongong base makes no difference to project quality or availability for remote and regional clients.
Can I see more detail on a specific project?
Several projects have full case studies in the Regional Case Studies section — including Lightning Ridge (13-year digital destination strategy), Visit Outback NSW (8-year platform evolution), and Darling River Run (rescue and rebuild from 2018). For other projects, contact Simon directly:
