Who We Are

Crafted by designers who code (and coders who design).

At Checkpoint Creative, we’re a tight-knit duo blending strategic design with technical execution. With experience across both ends of the digital spectrum, we offer the agility and focus of a small team, without sacrificing quality or scale. Consider us your end-to-end digital partners, ready to tackle whatever’s next.

Ben Russell
Co-founder, Technical Director 

Full-Stack Developer
Ben is our resident code wizard, leading the technical direction of our projects. He’s especially strong at problem solving, performance tuning, and designing scalable custom systems. When not coding, he’s usually rolling dice behind a Dungeon Master’s screen.

James Love
Co-founder, Creative Director 

UX/UI Designer / Front End Dev.
James is the pixel perfectionist behind every user flow and layout we ship. He takes a strategic approach to UX and UI, designing with both clarity and impact. Outside of work, he balances wireframes and workflows with late-night gaming and and nervously watching Liverpool hold a lead.
The Way We Work

Simple principles. Reliable process. Personalised delivery.

We’re not just a service provider, we’re your digital partner. From the first conversation to post-launch support, we work with clarity, flexibility, and a focus on outcomes. Here’s how we make it happen:
Client-Centric Discovery
We start by listening. Every project begins with a deep dive into your goals, challenges, and audience, shaping a solution that’s grounded in your reality.
Agile, Adaptable Process
No rigid waterfall workflows here. We move fast, stay responsive to change, and keep things lean so we can deliver real outcomes.
Platform Expertise
We’re WordPress pros but not tied to one platform. From custom to scalable CMS solutions, we build websites that are fast and simple to manage.
User-Centric Solutions
We design for people, not pixels. By focusing on clarity, comfort and usability, we create digital spaces that feel intuitive.
Local Collaboration
Work with a local Australian team that brings clarity, reliability, and a collaborative approach tailored to your project needs.
Support Beyond Launch
Our relationship doesn’t end at handover. We offer ongoing support, updates, and guidance to keep your digital presence secure and evolving.
The team have been a fantastic partner, supporting our websites.
