Art STUDIO website – NEW SITE & EMAIL REPAIRS
The struggle from the onset with this project was producing a website that adequately represented the artist and their studio while helping people connect with the different activities and outputs of the business.
The end result has certainly achieved this. The website will continue to be a work in progress, so some features are still to be developed.
The project was completed in a short time ready for an art event and was a collaboration between myself, the owner and their daughter.

EQUIPMENT hire firm – SEO & Google ads
This business has a Squarespace website and some issues can be difficult to address on this platform. The project was to complete website improvements and reactivate digital marketing.
The project involved taking over after a series of digital agencies had worked on the marketing prior. Because of the building industry downturn, the budget for marketing in this project was reduced and very tight.
While it took some time to get the campaigns performing adequately, conversion tracking now confirms the increases seen in new client orders.
This business benefits from our ongoing CARE program
CLUB WEBSITE – MALWARE REMOVAL
This WordPress project was a site clean as Wordfence detected changes in files, critical and suspicious files. A scan by CleanTalk confirmed infection.
All the Core files were stripped out. All the plugins were renewed. Same with the Theme. Upload files were checked.
The plugin CleanTalk is great for a before and after assessment. The before and after results reports from CleanTalk are great for showing clients with these hacked sites.
Site back up quickly as the infection was picked up early by Wordfence and Google didnt have the site blocklisted.
PRESCHOOL – WEBSITE RECOVERY & MALWARE REMOVAL
This client found their site was down and I noticed it had received a blocklisting from Google. In an email from Google – “social engineering content detected on the site” so a malware clean was required.
The site was put into maintenance mode. All the Core files were stripped out. All the plugins were renewed. Same with the Theme. Upload files were checked.
After cleaning the site was scanned with CleanTalk and passed with flying colors. After a reassessment using Googles Safe Browsing tool and the blocklisted status removed.
After the site was restored they chose to use our monthly CARE program to keep the site in better shape.
HOMEOPATHY – NEW INTERNATIONAL BOOKING SITE
This project is a Squarespace site. The fresh designer feel of the site was easier to achieve on this type of platform.
The owner blogs very regularly on the site and loves the booking and scheduling interface, taking new video call clients from around the world even while away on holidays!

CLUB WEBSITE – REDESIGN & upgrade
The redesign and update included added some new images, an image slider, new layouts and backgrounds to improve user experience when browsing the site.
The presentation of video media was improved. It now can be viewed via clickable related images which shows the video in a popup lightbox format with hopes to increase engagement with the content.
The subscriptions and donations are now payable using a custom Ecwid store page.
Authors website – web & domain hosting changes
This site came on-board as a new hosting client after bad experiences with GoDaddy.
The move started with a transfer to Synergy Wholesale. This was done seamlessly by creating a duplicate of the site and then testing its without a domain, and on a PC, using host file changes.
The domain was moved to Namecheap as it is a quality registrar. Extracting it from GoDaddy’s grasp was quite a task.
The new hosting performs great and the new domain registrar is easy to use for keeping tabs on the domain dues. No hassles and much reduced costs.
Not for profit website – uganda
This was a volunteer task for another agency in 2021. The Kawempe Home Care community health program is fulfilling a fantastic role for a community in Uganda and it was enjoyable to work on this project
It utilises a Woocommerce store for hand made goods to raise money for the program. The site was a revamp using WordPress to present existing images, posts and pages.
A great result for a busy and worthwhile program
Automotive repair shop – content & design upgrade
This site was built with the Thrive business management CRM platform. I received a call as the site was not performing after going live. With some changes the site started to perform well after just a couple of weeks as noticed in Google search ranking, Google maps ranking and feedback from the owner! The changes included targeting keywords, actual images of the business, internal and backlinks, improved description of services.
email marketing – set up assistance
This project involved assisting with a Mailchimp email marketing campaign as the clients first mailout failed due to very low delivery.
The client provided an ebook as a pdf file and it was decided it was best hosted as a landing page type ebook. The pdf was stored on Google Drive allowing it easily be displayed with a Squarespace embed block including iframe and css code snippets.
A business domain email address was created and verified in Mailchimp for the mailout, the email audience addresses were checked.
Combined this all gave great success with the campaign.
