Counselling Haven Website Build – Buderim, Sunshine Coast
For our recent website design project with Counselling Haven, located in Buderim, Sunshine Coast, our goal was to assist with the website build while allowing the client to maintain full control over the page design, content placement, and mobile responsiveness. The project required us to work behind the scenes, ensuring all technical aspects were taken care of while our client focused on the creative side of the website.
Project Overview
Counselling Haven, a professional counselling service based in Buderim on the Sunshine Coast, sought to establish a strong online presence. The client wanted to manage the page design, layout, and content independently but required expert assistance with the technical aspects of launching a fully functional and optimised website.
Our role was to provide back-end support, handling everything from SEO implementation and the website go-live process to essential post-processing tasks such as spam protection installation, contact form setup, and general site optimisation. This collaboration allowed our client to focus on crafting a website that truly reflected her brand, while we ensured it was technically sound, secure, and optimised for search engines.
Our Role in the Project
SEO Implementation
One of our primary responsibilities was optimising the website for search engines. We conducted keyword research, implemented meta tags, optimised page loading speed, and ensured best practices in SEO were followed. This work enhances the website’s visibility on search engines, increasing the likelihood of potential clients finding Counselling Haven online.
Website Launch Support
The transition from development to a live website can be complex. We ensured a seamless go-live process by managing domain configurations, SSL certificate installation, and performance testing. By handling these technical aspects, we minimised downtime and ensured a smooth experience for visitors from day one.
Post-Processing and Security Enhancements
To protect the website and enhance user experience, we installed spam protection tools and security measures. This included setting up reCAPTCHA on contact forms to prevent spam submissions and ensuring that all security protocols were in place to safeguard client and visitor data.
Contact Form Setup
A functional contact form is essential for client engagement. We configured and tested the contact forms to ensure they were working correctly, making it easy for potential clients to reach out to Counselling Haven. This involved ensuring that messages were correctly routed to the client’s preferred email address and that automated responses were properly configured if needed.
Client Collaboration
Counselling Haven’s owner had a clear vision for the website’s look and feel. By handling only the technical aspects, we allowed our client to have complete creative control over the page structure, typography, colour schemes, and mobile responsiveness. This approach enabled her to develop a website that aligned with her brand while benefiting from our expertise in web development and technical support.
Project Outcome
The final result was a well-structured and optimised website that met all of the client’s needs. Counselling Haven now has a professional and secure online presence that effectively communicates its services to potential clients. With strong SEO implementation, a seamless user experience, and essential post-processing features in place, the website is set up for long-term success.
By allowing the client to take full ownership of the creative process while handling the technical aspects ourselves, we achieved a successful collaboration that resulted in a highly functional and professional website.
