Backyard Solutions
The client
Backyard Solutions is a company in Melbourne providing a range of services to new and existing homes including landscaping, gardening, planting and more - their name says it all really. Backyard Solutions is owned and run by Cam Greaves.
The Project
Cam said to me he had been procrastinating over getting a website for far too long. Like many others, he had started to advertise his website and email address before he actually had one so it was imperative that we got his project moving quickly.
Cam knew he wanted his website to show his work and also be a sort of yellow pages as you will. As more and more people are using the internet to find businesses it was a natural progression for Backyard Solutions to go online. Not only that, Yellow pages charges +$24,000 for a 4cm x 5cm ad so it is slowly becoming less economical to do business that way.
What we delivered
Cam had an idea of what he wanted backyardsolutions.com.au to look like which makes our job easier and also pushes things along quickly. We had a design to him within 48 hours and then made several changes to get it just right.
This is what we ended providing Backyard Solutions
| 1. | Total web design and development |
| 2. | Advanced image display by customising the way images are displayed from different areas of his site |
| 3. | We installed an advance but easy to use CMS so Cam can update his site easily. |

| 5. | Contact form on the website linking to his email account. |
| 6. | Submitted his site to search engines to ensure it is tracked. |
| 7. | Provided Web Management (domain, hosting, email, database, etc) and ongoing support including advice on new features for the website |
| 8. | Using the logo Cam provided we made the side and top banners. |
| 9. | Help him set up a Google maps account for his business to increase the business exposure. |
| 10. | Ensured his site is registered with Google Webmaster Tools and also Google Analytics for SEO purpose |
