Website Development Case Study – Skyline Shades
About the Client
Skyline Shades is a premium provider of custom curtains, blinds, shutters, motorised window furnishings, external awnings, and accessories in Australia. Based in Cranbourne West, Victoria, they serve both residential and commercial clients. Their products and services include consultation, customized manufacturing, free measure & quote, installation, and quality assurance. Their target audience: homeowners, interior designers, architects, and businesses seeking stylish, high-quality window furnishing solutions.
The Challenge
Before the latest website iteration, Skyline Shades faced several issues:
- Difficulty in showcasing full product range & customization — many potential customers wanted to see variety (blinds, curtains, shutters, external awnings, motorised solutions, etc.) but the older site lacked clarity or visual richness for all these.
- Unclear User Journey for Custom Projects — customers often needed guidance: “How do I get measured?” or “What style works best?” but paths were not always obvious.
- Lead Generation & Conversion Gaps — while the site had contact forms, “Measure & Quote” was not consistently front-and-center, and pricing information was not easily accessible.
- SEO & Content Weaknesses — limited blog posts/guidance, fewer localized content pieces, which limited organic visibility.
- Trust & Social Proof Opportunities Underutilized — reviews, case studies, and gallery images were present but could be leveraged more heavily.
Objectives
Skyline Shades approached us with these goals:
- Build a modern, responsive website that beautifully displays their full portfolio of products (blinds, curtains, shutters, motorised, external, accessories).
- Clarify and streamline the customer journey: from consultation → quote → customization → installation.
- Improve lead generation through prominent “Measure & Quote” features, contact forms, and visual prompts.
- Strengthen SEO and content marketing via blog/insights, FAQs, and category pages.
- Build trust via testimonials, gallery visuals, warranty info, and service guarantee.
