WE BELIEVE
We believe that digital should empower and enhance organisations, not hinder them. We believe that technical experts should be great to work with, and possess solution-oriented, positive attitudes. We take a laser focus on what we do and how we do it. We do not seek to be a one-stop digital shop, opting to concentrate on development, technology, security and consultation.
We help businesses and organisations transform their existing digital products or launch brand new ones. We work in partnership to deliver customer-centric solutions, push technology boundaries and deliver value at speed through agility.
We keep our sights firmly on delivering excellence, underpinned with an ethos of continuous improvement. We’re proud of our commitment to quality, our code standards, our processes and testing rigour.
WE CREATE POSITIVE IMPACT THROUGH:
- Building new digital products & MVP
- Re-imagining existing platforms
- Finding tactical solutions
- Implementing strategic initiatives
- Providing ongoing technical support
- Building long-term relationships with our clients
“Development-led” means we’re niche, technical, and expert. We work with creative, UX and other agency partners, as well as client-direct. Our team is based entirely in Australia across Melbourne, Geelong and Perth. We service both public sector organisations and private companies across a range of industries.
VALUES
Our values are a cornerstone of Mainstay and underpin our work, attitude and approach in all that we do.
Integrity
To think, act and work with integrity means for these things to come from a place of honesty and truth. In many ways, there is little which could be more important.
Quality
Quality can be difficult to define, yet we each have a personal idea of it. If our attitude places Quality as the benchmark of our work, then inevitably it shines through. Quality either is, or it isn’t.
Dependability
Being truly dependable means to be consistently there, to do what you say you will do, and to be trusted. Dependability is often implicitly valued. This is something we strive for day in, day out.
Transparency
Transparency is honesty. In practical terms this means we strive to educate, inform and communicate in ways which seek to clarify and “shine a light”. This goes for our methodologies, practices, processes, communications, attitudes, scoping and costings.
Respect
Where are we without respect?
Respect is about others. By respecting anothers’ beliefs, attitudes and person, we empower ourselves and each other. If we’re coming from a place of mutual respect, then we can build trust and honesty.

Development Crew
Mainstay Digitial comprises of a brilliant team of digital specialists with a range of cross-disciplinary skillsets. Our team includes full stack developers, front-end specialists, back-end / PHP experts, JS aficionados, Laravel lovers, WordPress gurus, experienced project management (waterfall, agile and hybrid), meticulous test analysts and Support ninjas.
Workflow is divided into Support / Maintenance and Projects. Teams are allocated based on project requirements and best-fit skill-sets. For smaller projects, a single developer may be allocated along with a digital producer. For mid-sized projects, typically a 4 member structure will be in place: a technical team lead, a developer, a dedicated tester and digital producer. Larger projects usually reflect a scaled version of the mid-size structure, and are subject to requirements and timelines.
