Website Revamps

This project took their existing one page website and expanded it, providing a full webpage dedicated to each of their services, plus one for their portfolio of building projects. This is much better for achieving good Google search results..

Originally built by WebCoast in 2013 as Koru Mobile Cabins, the business expanded to other areas so it was time to rebrand and expand the website. A new logo, a new domain, and a new website built in Wordpress to include the information from the old website. After 11 years it was time for a fresh new look too.

WebCoast was approached in 2024 to revamp their website which was originally a single page site. They were ready for a bigger site which showcased their work, and a change of colours. 
At the same time we swapped them to use the .com.au version of their domain, as this indicates to Google that they are an Australian based business.

Originally built by another Developer, WebCoast inherited this site in 2020. In 2024 it was time for a refresh as the client was about to embark on some SEO work but the existing site was difficult and slow to edit. It was rebuilt in Avada which is much faster and so that global elements could be used. A small refresh to the styling was also done.

Originally built by WebCoast in 2011 as a static HTML site, this website lasted well (13 years!) but needed rebuilding to be mobile responsive. It was the ideal opportunity to rebuild Wordpress platform and give the design a refresh at the same time.

On the new site built in 2024, we introduced a fixed left-hand menu, which is impossible to capture in a screenshot, so there is a blue vertical column instead.

In 2023, Brian Moore approached WebCoast because he had seen another website that we had developed and loved it! His existing site was built on the Joomla platform so it was the ideal opportunity to migrate the website to the Wordpress platform and give the design a refresh at the same time.

The original website had a single image which the content scrolled over - it is impossible to capture this in a screenshot which is why the background looks a bit messy.

On the new site we introduced a fixed left-hand menu, likewise this is impossible to capture in a screenshot, so it hasn't been included.

Maroochy Sand & Gravel originally approached WebCoast in 2016 regarding revamping their existing site. We built them a fully responsive CMS site on the Joomla platforms that they could maintain themselves. We also changed the structure of parts of the site to make it easier to navigate.

In 2023, with Joomla3 reaching end-of-life, it was an ideal opportunity to migrate the website to the Wordpress platform and give the design a refresh at the same time.

Design 4 Living originally became our client in 2007 when they were trading under their previous name Sit & Sleep Interiors. The first site we did for them was a new static site.

In 2008 they rebranded to become Design4Living and so a refresh of the static site was done.

In 2015 they decided it was time to have a responsive site developed, so we built them a CMS site that adapts to the device it is being viewed on, and which they can edit themselves.

In 2023 their site was rebuilt on the Wordpress platform and at the same time a modern, clean look with restructure of pages was done.

In 2013 WebCoast rebuilt the website in Joomla 3, a soft and boho style which suited Jacinta's vision for her business.
2021 - Migration from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4, Jacinta loved the look of her website, but the template was not available as a Joomla 4 version, so I rebuilt it using a different template but kept the style as close as I could to the original.

Plan For Me approached WebCoast because they were disappointed with their current (6 month old) website which had been built by another developer.

Wanting something which had a more sleek, modern look, the new site was built using the existing text (but reorganised a bit) but new images.

The new site was built in a development environment, which allowed their existing website to remain live right up until the cut-over date.

Before 

Sage Care Advice requested a rebuild on Wordpress as one of their staff was more familiar with that platform.

It had been 4 years since the original site was built, so a fresh new look was given to the site with an emphasis on modern 'feel good' images.

The new site was built in a development environment, which allowed their existing website to remain live right up until the cut-over date.

Unique Constructions approached me to revamp their existing website which had out of date content and they wanted to incorporate a new look.

The old site's home page had no actual content on it and the home page was separate, so this was rectified on the new site, a much better outcome for Google rankings and SEO.

Before 

USC Rugby Club. In 2021 it was time for another refresh of the Club's website, bringing it inline with other club's websites (eg the Wallabies!). Same content was used, just a more modern presentation. It is a Wordpress site that adapts to the device it is being viewed on, and which they can edit themselves.

In 2015 we built the USC Rugby Club a new website, rearranging the content, in particular making the information on the inside pages more accessible from the home page. 

(Note: the background on the original website didn't repeat down the page, this is a limitation of the screengrabbing software.)

Water Smart Plumbing had an existing site, but it was one they had built themselves in WIX. It was a one-page site, and while it served a purpose for a while and gave them an online presence, it wasn't really working for them, it wasn't ranking well in Google and it didn't contain enough information about the services they provided. I rebuilt the site in Wordpress, expanding the site from one page to twelve and doing basic work on SEO to improve their rankings.

Before (one-pager)

Top of the Hill had an existing website, but they were ready for a revamp, so that the theme was new and would adapt to modern functionality. Their old theme was a custom design and it had been a number of years since the theme had been updated.

Before 

Beel Welding had an existing website, but they were ready for a revamp and adding more pages to the site which gave more information about the services they offer. The new site is a complete transformation of the old website, fully adaptive to different devices and modern looking.

Before 

JLP had an existing website, but their developer decided to cease hosting and maintaining websites, so they needed somewhere new to host their site. As the site was a bit dated they decided to refresh the site, condensing the pages and refreshing all of the images at the same time.

It's been 5 years since we last revamped Whispering Valley's website. The 2020 version gives it another new look with more white space for mobile responsive devices. More content was included with 'Things To Do' and updated photos were taken and included.

Supreme Bookkeeping Sunshine Coast 

This website needed improvement on its menu structure, dividing the pages into their services to improve website ranking. As well as that we increased the number of words on the page and improved the general look. The brief of the client was for a bright funky website, we didn't want the normal corporate look which is so common.

Chipatronic

Chipatronic first approached WebCoast in 2014, to get their original Joomla site (running Joomla 1.5) which was developed by another developer upgraded to Joomla 3. A joomla migration was required to migrate the site up to Joomla 3. This upgraded website was also built on the Joomla platform and was revamped with a new look.

In 2020 it was revamped to improve the usability, particularly on the product pages. Feedback was that the existing site was confusing for users so I used a simple, clean layout which showcased products as invidual items. I also introduced a 'request a quote' function, and product videos. This revamp was done in Wordpress.

In 2020 it was revamped to reflect their new logo and branding colours, the content layout was changed to make the site more modern, with a side navigation that remains in place on desktops. This revamp was done in Wordpress.

Reid Signage Services

Originally built in Wordpress, and inherited by WebCoast in 2018, we got to a point where it was not worth continuing with the existing theme due to its SEO limitations. After choosing a new theme, I then took the site offline for a few days while I rebuilt the site behind the scenes. I included a few new things such as recent projects showcase on the home page, and modernising the galleries, but the main difference was behind the scenes with SEO friendly URLs and customising SEO page titles and descriptions.

After revamp

Studio 4 Building Design

Although the original site was aesthetically pleasing, it had no text content whatsoever on the home page, and therefore was not doing them any favours in their Google rankings. The client wanted to move to a simple clean design which allowed her to showcase recent work on the home page, so we included a mosaic portfolio which will expand as she adds more properties. On all pages we concentrated on adding more text content, to help her Google rankings, and added a Portfolio page which she can add to as she completes projects.

Format Kitchens

Format Kitchens has had a website since 2004, and in that time has had several versions. They were unhappy with the content of the site and felt that the images and look & feel of the site didn't represent their business very well. Even though the new site only has four pages it has been totally refreshed with new stylish images and content. I also introduced some colour as their branding is currently all black.The new site has a modern clean look, and is fully responsive across all types of devices.

Sunshine Pressure Wash

Originally built in 2012 this website was ready for a refresh of the way it looked, but also of the content. One utility which really lended itself to this website was the 'before and after' image, pressure washing images are a perfect example for before/after and its a great way to showcase the dramatic difference pressure washing can make. The new site has a modern clean look, and is fully responsive across all types of devices.

Sheree McArthur Photography

Originally built by the client in Wix, Sheree wasn't happy with the way the website looked,or it's functionality. A few things were broken and she just wasn't happy with how it looked overall. I had already built a new website for her husband (Smart Choice Homes), so Sheree asked if I could help her with her new site. She loves the new site and can't wait to start blogging and promoting her business.

It's easy to create a beautiful website when you have such stunning images to work with. Hats of to Sheree, she captures the magic in each photographic session and has rave reviews of her work!

Morgan Owners Queensland - Car Club

Originally built in 2009, the members of this car club wanted a new site which was easier to maintain. I took the opportunity to refresh its style and to make it mobile responsive.

The new site is smaller, with only the relevant content and old outdated content removed. The new website was launched in August 2019.

Right Hook Picture Hanging

Originally built in 2013, this website was in need of a refresh to its style and to make it mobile responsive.

https://righthook.com.au 

Nationwide Tool Sales

Originally built in 2010, this website was out of action for a while as it had become so old it wouldn't run on modern servers.

We took the opportunity to simplify the site, moving away from Virtuemart and using Ecwid for the much simplified online store.

The new site has a more modern look, with not so much clutter of products. The new website was launched in May 2019.

In 2015 SAAS Audit approached us to refresh their website. As well as wanting a website with more graphics and images, they also wanted a fresher more modern look and had new content to add. We suggested a different structure of the site which was more focused on the audit services that they offer.
