Redesigning St. Andrew’s Alberfeldie Anglican Church Website | Design Grid

We're delighted to share our recent collaboration with St. Andrew's Anglican Church in Aberfeldie. Led by Vicar Michael, the church sought to modernise its digital presence, aiming to create an interactive and spiritually enriching online experience for its congregation and the broader community.
The Challenge
The existing website, built four years ago by a former parishioner, was in need of a comprehensive overhaul. The church required a platform that was not only user-friendly but also spiritually engaging, offering features that would appeal to those seeking meaning and connection in their lives.
The Solution
Research and Planning
Our team conducted an in-depth review of successful church websites, including Hillsong and Life.Church, to inform our strategy. This research helped us identify key features that resonate with churchgoers, such as an online event calendar, a donations area, and a prayer request function.
UI/UX Design
We embarked on a complete redesign of the website's User Interface (UI) and wireframes, focusing on creating an intuitive and visually appealing experience. The new design incorporates modern aesthetics while maintaining the spiritual essence of the church.
Content Migration and Restructuring
We restructured the website's navigation and migrated existing content, ensuring that users can easily find the information they're looking for.
Interactive Features
The new website includes interactive components like Bible studies, newsletter subscriptions, and online gospel readings, providing a rich and engaging experience for visitors.
Social Media Integration
We integrated the website with social media platforms like YouTube, allowing the church to extend its reach and engage with a wider audience.
Logo Showcase
The project also gave us the opportunity to showcase the stunning new logo we created for St. Andrew's, adding a touch of modernity to their brand identity.
The Outcome
The newly redesigned website has been met with positive feedback from the congregation and community alike. It serves as a dynamic platform that not only informs but also spiritually enriches its visitors.
Ongoing Relationship
We're thrilled to continue our partnership with St. Andrew's Anglican Church, providing ongoing support and updates to ensure the website remains a vibrant and effective tool for community engagement.

Logo and Website Design for Maribyrnong River and Waterways Association

We're excited to share the transformative work we've done for the Maribyrnong River and Waterways Association (MRWA), a Melbourne-based community organisation committed to the conservation of local waterways. Our collaboration aimed to create a digital platform that not only serves as an informational hub but also as a catalyst for community engagement and ecological restoration.
The Challenge
MRWA needed a compelling online presence that could serve multiple functions: educate the community, mobilise support, and provide a platform for fundraising. The challenge was to create a website that was both user-friendly and rich in content, all while encapsulating the essence of MRWA's mission.
The Solution
Logo Design
We kicked off the project by designing a logo that features the short-finned eel, a symbol that resonates deeply with Australia's First Peoples and perfectly aligns with MRWA's mission. This design choice was a nod to the cultural and spiritual significance of the eels and the Maribyrnong River itself.
Website Development
Utilising WordPress and Elementor, we built a dynamic, easy-to-navigate website that serves as a nexus for ecological restoration and cultural storytelling. The site features a seamless donation function, enabling MRWA to easily garner community support for their initiatives.
Event Integration
We integrated our agency version of Eventin by ThemeWinter to feature a prominent Call-to-Action (CTA) for donations and events, connecting all community groups effectively.
SEO Optimisation
The website is fully optimised for search engines, focusing on keywords most relevant to MRWA's mission and audience. This ensures that the site is not just visually appealing but also a powerful tool for organic growth and community engagement.
Content Strategy
The site is designed to be a living entity, continually updated with engaging videos and educational content. This ensures it continues to serve MRWA's mission to ecologically restore the river and share the cultural stories of the waterscapes.
The Outcome
The website has been a resounding success, serving as more than just a digital space; it's a catalyst for change. It fosters a deeper connection between the community and their environment, amplifying MRWA's vital work.
Ongoing Relationship
We're incredibly proud to be part of this transformative project and look forward to our ongoing relationship with MRWA, providing maintenance and support to ensure the website continues to serve its purpose effectively.

Mad motorcycle parts and accessories | Ecommerce website Ascot Vale

When Darren, the visionary behind MaD Motorcycle Parts and Accessories (MaDmpa), approached us, he had a clear but complex need. His long-time dream business was focused on all things motorcycle, from parts and accessories to detailing and transportation. However, he was dissatisfied with his existing website and wanted to expand his business into three distinct areas: a shop for motorcycle parts, a transport service, and a detailing service.

Our Strategy

  • Website Redesign: We started by giving the website a complete overhaul, integrating Elementor for easy updates. This not only refreshed the look and feel but also made the site easier for Darren to manage.
  • Three-in-One Solution: To cater to Darren's diverse business needs, we built three standalone areas—each dedicated to one of his business segments. These were interlinked on a single website to save costs and provide a unified customer experience.
  • Advanced E-commerce: We implemented an easy-to-use e-commerce section using WooCommerce in WordPress. This wasn't just a basic setup; we included advanced features like upsells and filters to enhance the user experience and boost sales.

The Outcome

Today, MaDmpa has a website that truly reflects Darren's vision and caters to his diverse business needs. The new design is not just visually appealing but also highly functional, making it easier for customers to navigate through the different services and make purchases. With our ongoing support, Darren can now focus on what he does best: providing top-notch motorcycle parts, detailing, and transportation services. We're thrilled to have been a part of this journey and look forward to seeing MaDmpa reach new heights.

  • Website Consolidation: We built a single, streamlined website that serves as a comprehensive platform for both her business and her published works, including upcoming releases.

The Outcome

The result is a bright, clean, and inviting website that aligns perfectly with Anthea's multifaceted career. It serves as a one-stop-shop for her audience, whether they are interested in her channelling services or her literary contributions. Anthea was thrilled with the outcome, and we couldn't be happier to have provided a solution that not only meets her needs but also offers a strategic advantage.

Seddon Book Alley | Ecommerce website

Seddon Book Alley, a cherished secondhand bookstore in Seddon, initially approached us to establish a responsive online presence. Founded by Robert Ford as a pop-up store, it quickly gained a loyal following among locals. We initially designed a website with social media integration and on-page SEO enhancements to boost local search results.

The Evolution: From Online Presence to E-Commerce

As the business grew, Robert returned with a new challenge: he needed an e-commerce solution that would allow him to manage his inventory effortlessly. Understanding the unique needs of a bookstore, we devised an innovative solution that leverages Google Sheets for real-time inventory management.

What We Achieved

  • Website Redesign: We overhauled the existing website, incorporating Elementor for easy updates, enhancing the user experience and aesthetics.
  • Google Sheets Integration: We built a custom solution that syncs with Google Sheets, enabling Robert to update his stock levels in real-time without having to navigate the website's backend. This allows him to manage inventory effortlessly, even from behind the counter.
  • E-Commerce Upgrade: We transitioned the website to an e-commerce platform using WooCommerce, allowing for a seamless online shopping experience for Seddon Book Alley's customers.

The Outcome

The result is a dynamic, user-friendly website that not only serves as an online catalogue but also as a fully functional e-commerce platform. The Google Sheets integration has revolutionised the way Robert manages his inventory, making the process more efficient and less time-consuming. With these digital upgrades, Seddon Book Alley is well-equipped to serve both its local customer base and a broader online audience.

Waytek & Sons Rendering logo and website, Doreen

Waytek & Sons Rendering, a leading name in the rendering industry, reached out to us via Instagram, captivated by our special "Tradie Deal" that includes free domain and hosting for the first year. After initial discussions, they expressed the desire for a brand refresh, specifically focusing on their logo.

Crafting a New Identity

We took on the challenge of redesigning their logo, keeping in mind their existing colour palette that prominently features a deep red. The result is a modern, eye-catching badge that serves as a symbol of quality and expertise. This new logo is now proudly displayed on their vehicles, business cards, and, of course, their revamped website.

Building a Digital Presence

As part of our Tradie Deal, we developed a streamlined one-page lander for Waytek & Sons Rendering. The website efficiently showcases all the services they offer, from residential to commercial rendering. We incorporated a clear and compelling Call-to-Action (CTA), making it effortless for potential clients to get in touch and schedule a consultation.

The Outcome

The new digital assets have not only elevated Waytek & Sons Rendering's brand image but also streamlined their client acquisition process. The one-page lander serves as a succinct yet comprehensive introduction to their services, while the revamped logo fortifies their brand identity. Overall, Waytek & Sons Rendering is well-positioned for future growth, armed with a strong digital presence.

White Built, onsite SEO, Langwarrin

White Built, a reputable builder based in Langwarrin, Victoria, approached us with a website that was still under construction. Their primary concern was enhancing their online visibility through effective SEO strategies.

Refining the Blueprint

Our first step was to conduct a thorough audit of the existing website. We identified several areas for improvement, including content enhancement, metadata optimisation, and image alt tag corrections.

Content Enrichment

We increased the word count on each page to provide more in-depth information, thereby improving the site's SEO performance. This also offered visitors a more comprehensive understanding of White Built's services and expertise.

Metadata and Keywords

We meticulously added metadata and strategically placed keywords throughout the site. This not only improved the site's SEO but also made it more accessible and understandable for both search engines and users alike.

Visual Optimisation

Images play a crucial role in website performance and user experience. We ensured that all images had appropriate alt tags, improving the site's accessibility and contributing positively to SEO metrics.

Building Success

The result is a more polished, SEO-optimised website that not only ranks better in search engine results but also offers a more enriching user experience. White Built now enjoys increased visibility, setting a strong foundation for their digital future.

Footscray Historical Society & ANZAC website

Footscray Historical Society (FHS) approached us with a dual challenge: modernise their existing website while restoring their offline ANZAC site. Understanding the importance of both platforms, we set out to create a user-friendly experience that would make historical information easily accessible to the community.
