Website development and SEO Thredbo.

House of Ullr is a boutique ski lodge in the heart of Thredbo Village. They had developed a Square Space website themselves however, with no SEO expertise, it was nowhere to be found on Google.

Upgrade Square Space website to WordPress

WYSYWG (What You See Is What You Get) websites like Square Space and WIX are a convenient and cheap way for small business owners and startups to develop a website on their own. Unfortunately, without search engine optimisation expertise, these build-your-own websites rarely, if ever, rank high in the Google search results.

A great looking website and effective search engine optimisation are paramount for a tourism-based business like House of Ullr where most of their enquiry will come via online searches.  To this end, I recommended upgrading their website from Square Space to WordPress.

Offering boutique accommodation in the heart of buzzing Thredbo Village, the website design and layout needed to match this and represent to potentials guests how stunning the premises are. The convenience of the location was also important to convey.  Additionally, easy booking options needed to be visible and accessible on all pages throughout the website.  To achieve this, as with all websites I design, I put myself in the shoes of a potential customer and considered what they needed.

A very search engine strategy for this website was paramount.  I undertook extensive keyword research and created a strategy for the entire website.  I wrote and curated content specifically to target keyword search phrases.

The result was a stylish website that represents the “vibe” of this boutique ski lodge.
