Not-for-profit website

ClimateWorks Australia is a research-based, not-for-profit organisation that works with business, government and the community to help Australia move to a low-carbon economy. They needed a website that reflected their facts-based, business-oriented approach, while allowing them to add rich, informative, adaptable content.

Structured content the key

Weave created a website based on a structured content model. The model allows ClimateWorks to create and manage rich project-related content from the inception of a project to the publication of results. Relationships between projects, documents and news stories are built into the content management system, enabling project landing pages that dynamically present readers with pathways for further exploration.

Home swap website

Carolyn and Lyndon are enthusiastic home swappers. Several times a year, they swap their home in Melbourne with another family in Australia or overseas, and enjoy a holiday in comfortable surroundings with no accommodation costs. They love the home swapping lifestyle, but they weren't happy with what was on offer for home swappers on the web. They found existing sites either too difficult to use, or so exclusive-looking that they were intimidating to an ordinary family. So they decided to start their own home swapping business.

The results

Weave Web helped Carolyn and Lyndon through the entire process of creating not just a website, but a brand new business. We helped them choose a memorable business name and designed a distinctive logo for them. Building on this, we designed a website that looks modern and slick, while retaining a friendliness and family focus that reflects Swap St's style and dedication to personal service. It's a site that will grow with their business, allowing them to introduce potential home swappers from all over the world.

Online textiles store

WorldWeave offers a unique collection of artisanal rugs and other interior design products, created by Melbourne design identity Piero Gesualdi and designer Sara Thorn. They wanted a website that would better showcase their products to both retail and wholesale customers.

The website

Weave Web designed a website based around beautiful product photos, including both in-context and detailed shots so customers can get a sense of how a product looks in a room, as well as inspecting the texture up close. The sophisticated content management system allows for timely and responsive sales and marketing tactics.

Not-for-profit website

Founded in 1910, The Lost Dogs' Home is Australia's largest animal shelter, and one of our most influential animal welfare organisations. Their existing website was badly in need of a design refresh, was confusing and poorly organised, and was lacking some basic functionality around pet adoptions. In short, it needed a complete overhaul.

Improving the adoption experience

When creating the new website, Weave Web used our expertise to revisit every aspect of the old site: content, organisation, design and functionality. We concentrated in particular on the adoption process, making it easy for users to see animals in their local area and get their questions answered, and incorporating an external inventory system seamlessly into the adoption experience.

Online beer store

Ballarat-based Rebellion Brewing make boutique beers, including a highly-regarded range of full-flavoured gluten-free beers. They needed a website that would have an overall unity while also differentiating between three distinct brands: O'Brien Gluten-Free Beer, The Rat Bitter Ale, and the Rebellion Brewery itself. They also needed a simple facility for online beer sales and a directory of outlets.

Three websites in one

The website we created offers a clear visual distinction between the three brands, while retaining consistent navigation throughout. Customers can buy beer with just a few clicks, and can easily find local outlets using a filtered browsing tool. It's a site full of character, just like Rebellion's beers!

Online store for musicians

Sydney String Centre is Sydney's largest store for string musicians. From their Chatswood retail home and online, they serve everyone from students buying their first violin to professional musicians. Sydney String Centre invested in LightSpeed as both a point of sale system and an online store, and wanted to take the opportunity to refresh their tired-looking website.

The results

Weave Web built Sydney String Centre a site that seamlessly integrates LightSpeed Web Store with Drupal content management system. This allows the site to be more than just a store - it's also a source of helpful content about everything from choosing your first instrument to getting an old instrument valued. The site has an elegant design and uses mega menus to make navigation easier.

PR agency website

Melbourne PR agency BENCH PR specialises in getting tech companies talked about. Their clients include both established enterprise IT companies like Check Point and Novell, and fast-growing cloud startups like Vend and Zendesk. They needed a website that better reflected their success in attracting well-known clients and bringing them tangible results in the form of media coverage.

The results

Weave Web started by designing BENCH PR a new logo to reflect the idea of a "benchmark" that the brand is built around. We then created a website that showcases the firm's high-profile clients and impressive results, using a series of collages created from real media headlines about each company, linked through to detailed case studies. Like BENCH PR's clients, the website is dynamic, businesslike and focused on results.

Not-for-profit website

Good Shepherd Microfinance coordinates the delivery of Australia's most long-running and successful microfinance programs. The organisation needed a website that could speak to a number of different audiences: government, potential supporters, potential providers of the programs, and potential loan recipients.

Talking to mutiple audiences

Weave created a site that addresses these multiple audiences in clever ways. For example, we knew that a significant proportion of loan recipients had low English literacy skills, so we came up with the idea of showing the application process using simple captions accompanied by clear, colourful illustrations.

Online Hosiery Store

Born in the streets of Melbourne’s inner-north, OK OK was established by Emina Dzananovic in 2007 with the aim of creating a label of Australian-made basics with design-directed pieces. OK OK wanted to extend their online presence with a cleanly and dynamically designed online store.

Stacked and responsive

Weave Web designed a site that integrates OK OK's shopify cart smoothly with their wordpress blog  - from the customer's point of view, it's all one site. The home page also features a "stacked" design that displays products in a dramatic fashion. Finally, we made the site responsive so that it's easy to read and navigate on any internet-connected device.


O2 Networks

IT industry website

O2 Networks designs and deploys networking infrastructure for some of Australia's biggest companies. A successful, rapidly growing company that punches above its weight, O2 had well and truly outgrown their bare-bones website. They needed a site that would communicate their success stories and their unrivalled capability.

The results

Weave Web created a site based on content carefully tailored for specialist audiences, plus a strong, professional design with a few sexy touches. O2 Networks keeps going from strength to strength, gaining major new clients and ambitious, innovative projects. They now have a website that will adapt and grow with their business.

Asbestos consultant website

Airsafe are highly respected asbestos and hazardous material consultants, with over 30 years' experience in asbestos surveys and inspections, sample testing, and air monitoring during asbestos removal. Airsafe needed a new website that reflected their experience and professionalism, targeted both domestic and commercial customers, and crucially, ranked well in search engines.

The results

The responsive website we created combines a striking design - including ingenious use of moving images to create a 3D effect - with quality content that's optimised for both search engines and human readers. Since launch, traffic to Airsafe's site has more than doubled. This has been reflected in business growth: Airsafe has had to employ new staff to meet increased demand!

Not-for-profit website

After many years with a plain-jane website that even their most devoted followers couldn't love, Environment Victoria - the peak body for environmental NGOs in Victoria - took the plunge (and a modest budget) and got themselves a vibrant and growing website that uses publishing, marketing and social media the way a not-for-profit should.

The results

The new website saw a 1,000% increase in traffic. Even more importantly, the ability to craft customised campaigns and tie donation requests to specific needs has made the site an activism and fundraising machine.

Not-for-profit website

Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand is the parent body for the Good Shepherd network around Australia and New Zealand. The Good Shepherd Sisters have been working with and advocating for disadvantaged women and girls since 1863. Good Shepherd Australia New Zealand continues that mission today.

A bold new look

Weave Web's work started with a new logo and visual identity for the newly-created parent organisation - one which is adaptable enough to extend to the rest of the network over time. The website stresses visual storytelling and reflects the organisation's audacity and dynamism in fulfilling its mission.
