About Imports, a tyre importer and wholesaler operating in Victoria and NSW had a very tired, outdated website desperately in need of a revamp. They were looking for a new website which provided basic information about the company along with a search function and access to a web portal for customers to place orders.  Working alongside a website designer I provided my SEO copywriting services to the About Imports team and project managed development of the new site. The end result is a site that exceeded the client’s expectations. This project was a great one to work on as the client was really clear about what they wanted (and didn’t want!) so the whole process went very smoothly.

Julie Goodwin Couture is a classic couturier who designs and makes bespoke ladies clothing from her studio in Albert Park, Melbourne. Julie has been creating gorgeous hand made garments for her clients for over 20 years, with most clients coming from word of mouth. In late 2015 Julie decided it was time for a business re-brand and to launch her business in the digital world extending her appeal to a broader market. Working alongside Fiona from Brand by Name on a new website for Julie, my brief was to write clear, concise copy that described Julie and her services in short, engaging sentences allowing the beautiful images of Julie’s garments to do (most of) the talking. The content has been optimised for search engines with Julie’s site being found by Google within 2 weeks of going live. I was also asked by Julie to plan and write a series of blog posts for her journal which is an ongoing role and to help her write content for invitations to her business re-launch and fashion parade.

Australia for Dolphins (AFD) is a Melbourne based NFP seeking to stop cruelty to, and gain legal protection for dolphins and small whales. As a passionate animal welfare advocate, I was horrified at the cruelty inflicted on innocent dolphins during Japan’s annual dolphin hunts and felt compelled to use my skills to raise awareness of the plight of these beautiful mammals. I offered my services to the AFD team during Dec 2014 and Jan 2015 and wrote a series of informative and educational blog posts that raise awareness of the issues of dolphin hunting and keeping dolphins in captivity at marine parks such as SeaWorld. Click here to read a post on Life After Seaworld and here to read a post that talks about the pros and cons of swimming with dolphins.
