Challenge

The Queenscliffe Historical Museum collects, preserves and shares historical information in all facets of life in the Borough of Queenscliffe from Wadawurrung occupation to European settlement in 1838 to the present day for the pleasure and education of local and wider communities.

Queenscliffe Historical Museum approached us when they saw our work on the ANGAIR nature show website. The museum was relocating at that time to a brand-new building and they wanted to have a brand new website to reflect their new image.

Their old website required a full redesign as it was lacking, not only in design but also in basic functionalities. Their old members area wasn’t functioning at all, they required an online shop, events management and easy way to publish their news.

Launch the website.

What They Thought of Our Work

VERY REALISTIC AND JUSTIFIABLE PRICING
I first noticed Torquay Web Design through their work on the ANGAIR Nature Show annual website, which looked fabulous for a volunteer organisation. I spoke to someone I trusted at Angair who said that Torquay Web Design was great to deal with, and that their pricing was pretty reasonable. I contacted Dorota to discuss a new website for the Queenscliffe Historical Museum, and found her professionally articulate on the services she would provide and how she would provide, and we had a deal. We had our content and structure pretty well established, but I wasn't prepared for the amount of work required in transferring the host for our many emails. Though this wasn't in our contract, Dorota followed through on this and assisted us through many problems, which she said were way and above the norm. I insisted that Dorota charge us for the extra work, which she eventually did at a very modest and acceptable amount. I have been very happy with Dorota's services and professionalism, and her very realistic and justifiable pricing."
