Bookings

Wallaroo and Marina BBQ Boats

Wallaroo and Marina BBQ Boats

Boat hire

Before: A brand-new business starting from scratch, so we could build everything they would need from day one.

Now: Customers book a boat and session, pay on the spot through Square, and add food and drink to their order, even after booking. Boats, session times and terms all managed in one place.

Printable manifests: every customer and booking for the day, plus a food and drink shopping list for any period they choose. The whole business runs from the back end.

Everything it does

  • Book online: group size, one boat or several, priced automatically by group size
  • Food and drink added to the booking from the on-board menu
  • Pay in full by card through Square at the time of booking
  • Confirmation email with reference, session details and receipt link
  • Gift vouchers bought online, emailed as a branded PDF with a personal message
  • Vouchers redeemed against bookings, with partial balances kept for next time
  • Terms accepted by typed name, with the exact version agreed to recorded

For the business

  • Manage the fleet: each boat's weekly sessions, with daylight-saving timetables
  • Block one boat's session, or close whole dates from a click-to-toggle calendar
  • Phone bookings entered by hand, discounts applied, balances recalculated automatically
  • Special requests hold a booking as pending for staff to price up

“We went looking for some help to create our website and we could not be happier with the end result. Tim spent the time initially to listen to us and went away and built the website. He also organised a photoshoot with drone footage and has done a fantastic job. We cannot recommend Tim highly enough... there should be a 10 star rating!”

Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruises

Tourism

Before: The industry was turning down, so every visitor who landed on the site had to count.

Now: The rebuild lifted revenue per active customer by 40%: more of the people who reach the site book a cruise. Google Insights shows the trend has held since.

A client for nearly seven years.

Maple and Pine

Weddings & events

Before: A rebuild. The old site undersold the quality of the venue, and weddings were the growth target.

Now: A site that looks like the venue deserves. Couples manage their wedding details and send documents back and forth, and admin handles every booking from the back end.

Online shops

Miss Gracie Taylor's Preloved Books

Tools and platforms

nshield

N-Shield

Agriculture

Before: Farmers needed somewhere to learn what nitrogen inhibitors actually do for them.

Now: A site that teaches the science, plus a separate tools hub where farmers work out timing and profit on farm decisions.

ActiveCampaign built in: we can see how farmers use the site, and N-Shield can reach them by email and newsletter down the track.

Everything it does

For farmers

  • Profit and Timing Calculator: dollars lost with and without N-Shield, per hectare and whole farm
  • Sustainability Calculator: nitrogen saved, cost of losses and emissions avoided
  • Spray Timing Advisor: drop a pin on the paddock for a seven day GO, MARGINAL or HOLD OFF verdict from live local weather
  • Flip the advisor between untreated urea and N-Shield to see which risky days become safe
  • Calculators open with just an email; the advisor needs no sign-up at all
  • Inputs remembered between visits, calculations run privately on the farmer's own device
  • Product guides, industry pages for cotton and cereals, case studies and a knowledge hub

For the business

  • Staff edit every page, post, stat and FAQ from the admin, no developer needed
  • Enquiries tagged by the campaign and page they came from, so every lead is traceable
  • Tool sign-ups feed ActiveCampaign, with leads tagged by crop and region

sevenhill heritage trail

Sevenhill Heritage Trail

Tourism

Before: The trail had the history. Nothing on site told it.

Now: A mobile-first companion visitors keep open as they walk: they watch videos at each waypoint, see where they are on the map relative to the next stop, and learn the history as they go.
