Is your website looking old fashioned? Do you compare it to your competitors and think that theirs looks better? Don't worry, you're not alone, it's not uncommon for businesses to be up to their 2nd or 3rd version of their website because website styles have changed a lot over the last few years and things can quickly become out of date. One important thing to consider is whether your existing website is responsive (does it adapt its layout to suit the device it is being viewed on (eg mobile/tablet). As from April 2015 Google started considering whether a website was responsive when determining ranking positions in search results on mobile devices. If your existing site isn't responsive then chances are you have dropped in rankings for mobile searches and are missing out on visitors to your site. But relax, I can help! I've revamped many websites over the years, here's a selection of recent ones. Get in contact today if you'd like to get started on refreshing your own website.

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. |

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Unique Constructions approached me to revamp their existing website which had out of date content and they wanted to incorporate a new look.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. The new site was built in a development environment, which allowed their existing website to remain live right up until the cut-over date. |

12Faces business owner approached me to do some work on the formatting of their existing pages. The existing pages had been done in JCE editor, and although styled, he felt they were lacking the look of a professional site. My brief was to revamp the template that the pages used, and to use SP Page Builder within Joomla articles to redesign the pages. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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! |
