About us
Tonto Digital is a young digital media company based in Melbourne and working with clients around the globe.
When we first had the great idea of starting a digital design firm we decided to strip back everything we know about building websites and start from scratch.
We realised that there are so many reasons for a business to have a website other than "exposing our brand". Other objectives can include building a database of potential customers, building a community of fans or even simply to reduce the time their administration spend answering phone enquiries.
It was determined that a great looking website is a given, our true intention is to give our clients an ONLINE BUSINESS. One that meets all their deeper objectives and a whole lot more.
We call it 'over-delivering' and our whole business is built on this ambition. Over-delivering on the website we build for you, the service you receive along the way and the support you get afterwards.
Founders:
Jay Dillon - Director of designy things
Jay has worked as a digital designer since the glory days of the animated GIF. In that time he has worked with clients such as Tourism Queensland, CUB and Ford - winning his fair share of design awards along the way.
As 'Director of designy things' for Tonto Digital he spends his time talking clients out of having a 'spinning logo' on their website.
What Jay’s Mum says:
As a kid Jay was always in his room drawing and painting things. He does something with computers now. I think he is building the internet.
Troy Dean - Director of geeky stuff
Troy is an experienced developer with advanced skills in programming. However his real strength is translating real world business objectives into awesome online user experiences that serve the customer as well as the brand. He has an infectious passion for communicating in the digital realm.
What Troy’s Mum says:
Troy talked a lot as a kid. In fact, he never shut up. I'm glad he's found some people to pay attention finally. I don't know how he got them all into that little computer though.
