STC Services – Trauma Cleaning Specilialists

Posted by on May 10, 2013 in Blog, Completed, Sites

I felt a wave of exhilaration and anxiety when I got a call asking if I could turn out a website in 48 hours. With a quick check of my schedule and a small amount of trepidation I commenced work on STC Services Trauma Cleaning Specilaists. I have to say the content of this site interested me greatly! We’ve all see CSI and such but this is the real deal. These guys are consummate professionals in this area and have built up a successful business through word of mouth. One of the things I like about building sites is learning about many different types of business.

I was lucky enough to liaise directly with  Jennifer Bishop from Content and Copy. Jennifer wrote all the content and project managed the job. If it wasn’t for this process I would not have been able to hit the deadline. Instead I liased with an experienced polished writer with a keen sense of online marketing and SEO. I just got on the tools and within 48 hours we had a site that accurately reflected the strengths of the business. The site ranks number 1 for ‘trauma cleaning specialist’.

Client news: Soundstream

Posted by on Aug 9, 2012 in Blog, Design

Soundstream have redefined classical music and it seems the ability to push their program digitally. Since developing their site over a year ago we have continued to work together to keep the site dynamic and informative. It has been easy to provide fresh content to the site with Soundstream Collectives hectic calender of  performance programs and initiatives.

A membership program has been instated to look after a small but passionate group of “Listening Club” members. We’ve also been able to keep an archive of all the positive reviews and media coverage they attract. Soundstream have also used QRCodes to good effect in tandem with some tasty graphic designs that are sent to members via postcards.

I recently recommended a theme change to allow for more responsiveness and a cleaner minimalist design in-line with their current Soundstream Adelaide New Music Festival. We worked together to improve the marketing message and to ensure potential punters could click through to ticket sales.
