Sheriton Shoes is a successful shoe business with 9 stores around Sydney. As their business has grown over the past years, Sheriton Shoes decided to expand to online and asked Day Dream Websites to help them with their new business direction. This website is a perfect complement to their 9 stores as visitors to the website can see the products online and see maps and get directions to their nearest store.
Another very important function of this website is the online shop. While Day Dream Website were building the website, we constantly kept in mind the website visitors experience. We frequently asked ourselves – what would be the customer’s experience of this website. Our main aim was to help the customer find the shoe they wanted and to make it easy for them to purchase it either online or at one of the stores.
As a result of the global nature of the internet, Sheriton Shoes are no longer just selling shoes to their loyal customers in Sydney. The website that Day Dream Websites has build for Sheriton Shoes has opened up their market to all of Australia and all of the world. |

Handbag
Queen is a new Australian ecommerce site
that sell handbags online. We did not just
build this website, we also worked with
the shop owner to ensure high sales. The
main way we did this was through SEO.
As a direct result of the SEO work carried
out by Day Dream Websites, the site performs
very well in Google search results.
Our client Handbag Queen wanted to be found for search terms that are relevant to their business. If someone searches for any of the following relevant words using the Australian Google search engine, our client Handbag Queen is number 1!
'discount handbags'
'Belle Collezione handbags'
'Fiori handbags'
'Gianni Conti handbags'
'Indy C handbags' |
These high positions
in Google search results caused an increase
in visitors / potential customers to the
website. See
results.
The
website has a number of great features.
It has a gift
voucher system where a visitor can purchase
a gift voucher for their friend or colleague
who can then visit the site and redeem the
value of the voucher. It also has a tell
a friend feature that makes it easy
for website visitors to tell their friends
about the site. This is a great way to increase
visitors to the website.
The ecommerce side of the website allows visitors to browse
the handbags by brand, colour, style, size, season and material.
The aim of this is to make is as easy as
possible for the visitor to find what they
are looking for and then purchase it. There
is also a specials page which is always
a popular page. Customers can buy products
using a number of different payment methods
such as credit card, bank transfer, and
money order/ cheque. Payment is very secure
and customers are not forced to use one
method of payment. Some people don't like
using credit cards so these people have
the option of paying via bank transfer.
This website
also has a great postage calculating system
whereby the website talks to the Australian
Post website to calculate the postage. The
postage is based on the weight of the total
order and also the destination postcode.
The website customer has the opportunity
to choose either express or regular and
if the customer is outside Australia they
can choose either sea
mail or air mail. This postage system
saves lots of time and hassle for the shop
owner.

Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "Hi Tim, just wanted to say how impressed I am with the overall site - I especially love the fax order form option - it's all very clever and I think it might help some of the more security conscious customers feel safer about ordering with alphabetical. Books are often bought by older people as gifts for grandchildren, so thanks for going to so much work to get it right. Thanks for all your patience with my questions and 'tweaking'.
I look forward to selling some books and looking at ways to enhance/improve the site in the future with your assistance."

Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "Thanks so much Tim for all the effort, hard work and wonderful advice in designing my new website. I am thrilled with the way it looks.. the photographs you suggested we use look great and really display Italy beautifully, I have been receiving such positive responses from all who have looked at it. The payment pages work well and has been really simplified to suit my customers.
Coming from a position of knowing very little about websites, I needed much guidance, you were unbelievably helpful and didn't seem to tire of the endless questions and changes until we were both very happy with the result. When the hard work with the site was over, you then went about to make sure that the site was being recognised and rating on the search engines, with great results. Thanks so much again, and as you know, I have been recommending you to all."

This
website was fun to work on. It's a good
business idea which has a lot of potential.
It was built using HTML and did not involve
any e-commerce. The majority of the work
involved getting the website looking exactly
as the original design and making it look
good in all of the most popular website
browsers.

Travel / Tourism Industry Website
Making
this website made us want to go on a beach
holiday. This website is a booking agent
for beach holidays in Victoria. It's a business
to consumer website that offers the choice
of up market rental properties and budget
rental properties. It's a fairly standard
website. The website was designed visually
to give a relaxed atmosphere while still
looking like a professional website. It
was our job to perform a web
site reconstruction of an old website.
If one was to compare the old website with
the new
website that was built by Day Dream
Websites - a number of differences would
stand out. Day Dream Websites created a
whole new professional and appealing design
and also made a big impact on the functionality
of the website. We also made the site more
user friendly and easier to navigate through.
Another big difference that we made was
to make the website more friendly to search
engines and as a result over a few weeks
we saw the number of visitors increase.
Day Dream Websites also fine tuned the Google
Advertising to increase the number of
click throughs and decrease the cost per
click.
We also
built a calendar
system so that the visitors to the website
can see when the properties are available.
We also made online
and interactive maps so the website
visitor can actually see the property's
location. |
Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "A
special thank you to Tim from Day
Dream Websites for all his hard
work on my website re-construction.
He was so patient with me and suggested
and implemented some wonderful ideas
to enhance my website and help with
my Google advertising. It is a bit
daunting sometimes dealing with
websites, especially in my case
as I know nothing about them, but
Tim made me feel comfortable to
ask any question at all, no matter
how silly it seemed. Tim was also
prompt, and reliable– thank
you. I would certainly recommend
Day Dream Websites to any business."

Scrap booking Industry Website
This is
a scrapbooking website that incorporates
an online shopping cart. The shop owner
Pricilla already had her own business since
2003, and in 2007 decided to branch out
to websites and online business.
This project
ran very smoothly as the shop owner was
easy to work with and all the relevant text
and images were provided promptly. Angelic
Memories also has a physical shop in Melbourne
Australia. To make it easy for people to
find the physical shop, Day Dream Websites
build an online
map and a directions
feature. The website visitor simply
types in what suburb they are coming from,
press enter or go, and directions and a map
are provided. |

This website is
one of the more recent of all the online shops
that Day Dream Websites has built. As a
result of this, this online shop is using
all the most recent technologies. An example
is that a customer to Lucky Lady can purchase
without logging in. This is important as
it makes it easier for the customer to make
a purchase. Another example of nice technology
that this shop uses is the ability to set
the meta tags for each page within the shop.
This is very important for search
engine optimisation. See the increase
in website visitors after Day Dream
Websites started managing the website. |
Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "Thank you for doing such a great
job. Your friendly, professional service
is much appreciated and my online
shop is a huge success!! I will definitely
refer business to you in the future."

Cosmetics/ Fashion Industry Online Shop
This website
is a for a new business. The business does
not have a physical shop so the website
is the only way that Hunie products are
sold. The products are uploaded and updated
by the shop owner who uses instruction found
on the Website
Tutorials page to help her.

Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "Thankyou Tim for doing such
a fantastic job on my new website!
All your hard work and effort you
put in has made my dream website become
a reality! It looks absolutely gorgeous!
I can’t thankyou enough for
being patient with me, especially
because it was my first time dealing
with a new website, and I had a million
questions! Every question I asked,
Tim was very helpful and he made great
suggestions to enhance my website.
I also learned how to update my website
myself, thanks to Tim’s really
helpful tutorials. I’m really
happy I chose day dream websites to
design and build my new website because
the service & dedication is next
to none. I would definitely recommend
Day Dream Websites to any business
looking for professional and reliable
website designer."

This website
was a website re- construction. JC designs
already had a business which has been running
since 1986. JC Design noticed that their
competitors were having websites built and
as a result had a strong competitive advantage
over them. While JC design had a website
built by a friend of theirs, their website
was not search engine optimised nor did
it have a modern design. It was also difficult
to navigate through and was not user friendly. |
|
The website
was not coming up in a high position within
Google's search results while JC's competitors
were. As a result of this JC Design was
missing out on a lot of business. Mid 2006
JC Design decided to get re - built their
website in order to compete. Day Dream Websites
re- build their website and after we finished
building their website, it came up number
1 for their main search term 'continuous
fryer'. See
the results.
Day Dream
Websites also manages JC Design's Google
adwords. We ensure that they have a
high click through rate and a low cost per
click.
| Feedback from a past client of Day Dream Websites: "Thank you Tim for designing
our new,
modern website. We are now receiving
may enquiries and know this is
because it is easy for potential customers
to find and navigate our site.
We would highly recommend Day Dream
Websites to other businesses looking
for a new website or a re-construction."

This was
a reconstruction of an older website. The
new site was build early 2006. Day Dream
websites improved the site by:
a) making the shop easier to update for
the shop owner
b) improving the useability for the customer
c) increasing the number of visitors to
the site. As a result sales naturally increased. |
