Charitable Reuse Australia engaged Digital Nomads HQ to develop a new online resource funded by the NSW EPA to measure and calculate the environmental, social and economic impacts of reuse in NSW based on the comprehensive datasets of the ground-breaking NSW Reuse Impact Study. The brief for NSW Reuse Impact Calculator was to make the user interface simple and easy, while managing complex outputs, delivered through two aliogned calculators - one for three high level category inputs and one for 27 more detailed item inputs, and over a dozen triple bottom line impact outputs, all defined clearly with a best practice usage guide.. We chose Digital Nomads due to the deep knowledge and expertise the team has in calculator projects, and the charitable reuse sector, as well as their proactive and engaging feedback, insights and communications.

This made it easy to share progress with all stakeholders. They had some great suggestions for improvement, so this was  acollaborative effort. They also went over and above scope with some addiitonal/late changes from our side, and took all of this in stride. It was also a non-stressful, enjoyable and learning experience.

Digital Nomads HQ has been outstanding in every aspect. From my first meeting with them in late 2022 they have actively worked as a collective to improve my business and reach my goals.

What was the size of Digital Nomads HQ’s team?

6-10 Employees

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The team at Digital Nomads worked with us to create a beautiful bespoke website for our small family business that we can manage parts of ourselves when needed. They advise best practices and listened to all our ideas. We spent considerable time editing and trialing different things until we were happy with the final result and we appreciated their patience while I worked through it all. It's a rather big and daunting job for a small family business to make time for this and their patience and understanding was invaluable.

Digital Nomads researched our competitors and did a brilliant job of understanding the trade industry we're in to help produce professional copy that was relevant to us personally but the industry as a whole. They educated us on best practices, created galleries just as we wanted them and made little unique tweaks to help us convey our message authentically. Digital Nomads took the time to get our branding just right or create images/graphics for us to use for the website.

They've been very helpful in answering questions after launching the website and have promptly actioned any minor hiccups we've found along the way. We have since had countless compliments on our website, even from long term trade professionals who've seen many cabinet makers websites. Everyone loves how it looks, feels and conveys our message. It's pretty simple to use and we appreciate the effort taken to make the both PC & Mobile versions. I believe there's more work we can do to rank better in Google searches and obtain more leads through the enquiry form etc, but we will work on these in the future.

For now we are getting plenty of phone call and email leads (from those who've seen our website), we've also picked up bigger clients/builders now that we actually have a website. We take pride in directing our potential clients to our page and using the image gallery often to help explain design options to existing clients. We also recommend everyone we know to contact Digital Nomads if they're after professional, thorough and personalised service.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

• Increased efficiency with communicating design ideas/options with clients
• More interest from custom builders and high end clients
• Attracting top-quality team members when advertising

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Very prompt with everything, often had to chase me to confirm things but I never felt pressured or hounded. Their understanding of small business owner demands and allowing me the time to process any edits, approvals or changes was comforting. We weren't just another number in the system to get ticked off.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their friendly team culture, open communication, honesty and availability made us feel instantly connected and at ease.

Are there any areas for improvement or somethingDigital Nomads HQ could have done differently?

I guess the only thing that was sometimes tricky was the time difference between us in QLD Australia and our web designer based in South Africa (the rest of the DMQH team are here locally so we always had someone available if needed) but this was hardly an issue, he was a very lovely, helpful and knowledgeable guy, it was just something I had to factor in when communicating with him.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the owner of a rubbish removal company. We provide small and large scale clean-ups of properties.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Digital Nomads HQ, and what were your goals?

We hired Digital Nomads HQ to run build a high converting website for us (as well as some Google Ads and SEO). Our goals were to create a website that focuses heavily on lead generation whilst also creating trust, credibility and making it an easy to use customer experience for our users. Also, the website needed to be SEO friendly.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

We searched online and noticed they had a full scale team that looked professional but fun to be around. Their website images gave insight into the company culture and the owner looked like she cared. Also, their 5 star reviews helped.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

After an initial meeting with the owner Jodi and Manager Ben we decided on what needed to be done to boost our online presence and start to dominate search results. With this in mind we had their Google Ads specialist create an ads campaign that performed well above my expectations whilst Hayden got to work on creating the new site.

The site was to be built in a dynamic way with movement on the page, polished finishes and with the goal of lead capture. Hayden went above and beyond to understand our needs and created a world class website that makes our competitors site look like a school project from a year 6 student.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

We initially worked with Ben to make edits to our old site whilst our new site was being built. We then worked with Jacob on the Google Ads and Hayden on the web development. We're now working with Anna on our SEO campaign.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

The outcomes from our ads campaign were truly tremendous. Jacob worked hard to get us CPC at $6-7 whilst CTR was an astonishing 12%! We had to turn the campaign off as we had too much work to handle. In terms of the website, we're seeing great conversions and fantastic feedback from customers. In fact, a lot of customers keep asking me "who built your site?" so I've practically become a spokesperson for Digital Nomads here on the Sunshine Coast.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

The team always delivered on what they said they would when they would. They're always happy to have a sit down meeting as me and my wife are very much face to face people. They were always happy to answer any queries via phone or email.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The company culture. Jodi the owner clearly knows how to lead a team. She even sent my wife a very thoughtful gift when she went into hospital. Something which, to be honest, virtually brought a tear to my eye.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Sure. They could of charged me more money because these guys are worth every darn penny!

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and campaigns.

Our project began with a discovery phase where we discussed our goals. From there, they created a custom website where we could collect bookings and enquiries for our target market. They performed keyword research and a competitor analysis to make sure that we were targeting the right audience. Here, they also identified a number of opportunities for us to improve our online presence.

After the website was launched, they continue to conduct ongoing SEO management. This included keyword tracking, on-page optimisation and link building. They also write monthly blg posts that are relevant to our industry and our target audience.

We have access to their team as well as a dedicated SEO strategist who works on our website.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the owner of a writing and editing business.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Digital Nomads HQ, and what were your goals?

I wanted to launch my own writing and editing agency, Stellar Words. I needed a website that reflected my expertise and invited people to explore the services I offered. I had a lot of content to display, without many visual assets.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Digital Nomads offered to design and develop my website. I gave them a brief, outlining my preference for the style and tone I'd like to achieve with my website. The brief was professional and friendly, with a bit of an urban edge.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

I asked Digital Nomads to build me a website to advertise my writing and editing agency. I had some professional photography of myself, but that's all in terms of visual assets. I supplied the copy. I need a home page, an about us page and services pages.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

I worked with Hayden, Head of Development and Mitch, Web Developer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I had a very positive response to the launch of my new website on social media. More than 200 people commented on the website and remarked on its incredible functionality and design.

Within days of launching the website Digital Nomads created for me, I had jobs and leads pouring in. Within weeks of launching, I was offered a full-time job with a content agency in Sydney. I am certain it was the professional quality of my website that attracted this agency and led to an incredibly employment opportunity. Further jobs continue to arrive via my website, so I am continuing to run my business alongside my full-time job. This is all thanks to Digital Nomads.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

I communicated with Jodi, Hayden and Mitch throughout the process of conceptualising and developing my website. We communicated via email and Facebook Messenger. At every stage of the process, I found them to be highly responsive, helpful and polite. It was a pleasure to deal with them and while I had quite a few demands and changes of scope, they were always accommodating and delivered an exceptional website for me.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Nothing seemed to be too difficult for them. They were always incredibly friendly and their 'can do' attitude was very refreshing. They offered professional advice to help guide me throughout the process and they didn't make me feel like an idiot when I asked dumb tech questions.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

I honestly can't fault Digital Nomads. The website they designed and developed for me was functioning perfectly, gaining leads and working as intended. They are a lovely bunch of people to work with and I highly recommend them for their professionalism, friendliness and reliability.
