Below are some of the Business Websites we have created for our clients:

kids book website


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.

Fashion & Handbag Industry Online Shop

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: "Thank you very much, Tim from Day Dream Websites for all your hard work and dedication to my new website. Your profession service in designing this website was fantastic. Any question I had was answered and I was made to feel comfortable about any changes I wanted to make. Tim was always there to put the finishing touches to everything I wanted done. I cannot thank Tim enough for all of his help in getting this website up and running and for all of his continually help in making sure it is a success. I would recommend Daydream Websites to anyone looking for a professional website designer."

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."

Family History Website

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.

Retro Home Decor Online Shop

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."

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."

Food Manufacturing Industry Website

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."
