Research Phase
Before writing a single line of code, our research agent studied Oliver's Garden Cafe — their current website, social presence, reviews, team, and services. Here's what stood out.
The existing website (oliversgarden.com.au) has DNS failure — the domain is not resolving, meaning this Moonee Ponds/Essendon cafe has effectively lost its entire web presence despite having a registered domain
Located in Melbourne's inner northwest with a (03) 9372 phone prefix confirming the Moonee Ponds/Essendon area — a cafe corridor competing with established venues along Puckle Street and Keilor Road
The 'Garden' branding suggests a botanical or outdoor dining theme — a distinctive positioning in a suburb where most cafes lean toward industrial or minimalist aesthetics
Design Phase
Every design decision was intentional — informed by the research, not pulled from a template library.
Visual Direction
A 6-page site with a dedicated Garden page and Events page, featuring a GardenJourney interactive component that guides visitors through the cafe's garden-to-plate philosophy. The 9-component build includes an image gallery to showcase the garden setting and a marquee for seasonal specials.
Design Rationale
With the existing website completely down (DNS failure), this cafe has zero discoverable web presence. The design leans into the garden theme that the business name promises — the dedicated Garden page and GardenJourney component transform the name from a word into a tangible brand experience that differentiates from generic cafe websites.
Build Phase
Site Architecture
// Next.js App Router
Methodology
Spark (research agent) scraped Oliver's Garden Cafe's current website, Google reviews, social media, and business listings. Every piece of real data — team names, service pricing, business hours, unique details — was extracted into a structured profile.
Based on the research, a bespoke design direction was created specifically for Oliver's Garden Cafe. No templates — the typography, color palette, layout patterns, and visual effects were all chosen to match this business's personality and industry.
Pixel (design agent) built the entire 6-page Next.js application from scratch — 9 custom components, real content from the research phase, App Router with proper routing, and production-grade code.
Sentinel (QA agent) verified the build compiles cleanly, checked for placeholder content, validated all routes render correctly, and confirmed the design is unique (not recycled from another demo).
Additional Notes
Research covered 5 sources but was severely limited — the official website DNS was not resolving, Brave Search API hit its monthly limit, and the browser was unavailable. Data completeness rated low. The phone number area code and business name were the primary confirmed data points. This case study demonstrates building a compelling site from minimal verified data.

More from the experiment
This case study is part of the AI Web Lab — a 30-day experiment where AI agents build bespoke websites for real Melbourne businesses. Every site is researched, designed, and built from scratch by a team of five specialist AI agents. The full methodology, code, and results are documented transparently.
This study is being prepared for publication as part of a research paper on AI-assisted web development at scale.
We built Oliver's Garden Cafe's site in 8 minutes. Same process, same quality — a custom website built for you, not a template.
