We build what your business runs on.
Websites and stores that load in under a second. Apps built around how you actually work. AI systems that handle the enquiries, bookings and paperwork your team shouldn't be doing. Built in Sydney, never offshored.
Our services.
AI Automation
01Work that shouldn't be done by hand, handled end-to-end. Enquiries answered and booked. Documents checked and filed. Systems that finally talk to each other. Built to run, not to demo.

Web Development
03Websites, stores and web apps that load in under a second and don't need a developer to update. The delivery layer for everything above.
See Web DevelopmentYes, the name is a joke. The work isn't.
Agency names take themselves very seriously, so ours doesn't. Croissant & Baguette is a small French-Australian studio in Sydney, built on 25 years of web development and marketing, first in Paris, then here, with a network of Australian specialists around it. We stay boutique on purpose: a few tailored projects at a time, never so big that we stop doing the work ourselves.
Everything we make.

What does Croissant & Baguette do?
Croissant & Baguette is a Sydney web development and AI automation studio, working with businesses across Australia and New Zealand since 2019. We build websites and Shopify stores that load in under a second, web and mobile apps, and AI systems that run enquiries, bookings and documents end-to-end. We also measure and improve how often a business is cited by ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI.
What does an AI automation agency do?
It finds the manual work in a business and builds systems that do it: enquiries answered and booked, documents read and checked against your rules, tools kept in sync without re-keying. The difference from using ChatGPT is that the system does the task itself, inside the calendar, CRM and inbox you already run, and asks a person before anything that matters.
How much does a website, a Shopify store or AI automation cost?
Websites from $9,000. Custom Shopify themes from $9,000, headless storefronts from $15,000. Web and mobile apps from $15,000. AI automation starts with a $1,500 assessment, credited against a build started within 90 days, and builds run from $8,000 a process. The AI visibility audit is free with a 20-minute call, and care plans are from $250 a month. Each service page lists its prices, with the typical range for a build.
Where are you based, and where is the work done?
We're in Sydney, and everyone who works on your project is based in Australia. Nothing is sent offshore. We work with businesses across Australia and New Zealand, from brand-new stores to an ASX-listed financial services group.
How long does a project take?
A website takes four to eight weeks, a Shopify store three to ten, a web or mobile app eight to sixteen. AI automation starts with a two-week assessment, and the first process is typically live three to eight weeks after that.
