Busy Bees Services Limited, 2009

Busy Bees Cleaning Services is a cleaning company with branches on both the North and South Islands of New Zealand, and headquarters in Auckland and Christchurch. The old Busy Bees website didn’t embody the quality and professional nature of the organisation, while more and more potential customers were turning to the internet to find a cleaning service. Busy Bees’ director realised this trend, and came to me looking for ways to create a website that would find more customers, new franchise operators and grow the business.

What followed was a holistic approach to web design, including a new website and an overhaul to the existing logo, all while preserving and reinforcing the Busy Bees brand. Since the website was launched, visits are up 60% and Busy Bees receives dozens of new customer enquiries each week.
