In the last two months we have engaged CANZ Design to develop a new database and design for our website plus SEO for our website.
Based on our initial development work we extended the contract so that CANZ Design now update and maintain our online booking system. While I manage the SEF CMS Tourism Directory Site with a Booking System.

The key criteria for awarding this business to CANZ design were the following factors:

• Quick response time to questions


• Ability to handle a number of different tasks at the same.


• Attention to detail – our booking system is reasonably complex with multiple rates for different rooms and season.


• Good knowledge of the internet and different tools available.


• Dedicated to the tasks. No matter what time of the day responses have been fast and courteous.


• Have redeveloped our website with a new database which will allow our business to grow quickly over the next few months.


• Handled the many questions and changes with minimal effort.

We have no hesitation recommending CANZ Design to other clients and are more than happy to be contacted to discuss our experience.



Kind Regards

When asked how much for my stores, I explain there is a massive price range of what you can spend depending on what you want the store/site it to do…and that I trust you both 100% to be honest and fair in everything you did.

“When we revamped out site in 2007 we knew it was going to be a big task but the reworking of the site to a CMS and away from our old static site was a huge step forward.

While we had a lot of requests Lynn informed us all options, explored ideas and worked solidly on our site to ensure we meet deadlines.” Rainbow Tourism October 24, 2009

She calls a spade a spade and doesn’t try to dress it up as a shovel. She told me what was wrong with my site, she was spot on, she had the site rebuilt, she had my visitor numbers up over 7000% in 6 months, better than that, sales have gone way way up.

One of the things I asked her about, is my existing customers (there weren’t that many then) were only buying 1 thing at a time. She worked out why, my existing cart was a nightmare to use. So with the website redesign she made buying much easier, and now it’s nothing to get an order for 2 or 3 items.

I thought the first quote was very high, she made a payment plan, so I paid monthly. After seeing the results of the SEO she did, I think she should have charged more... lolz

I have been working with Canz Design for the past few months, getting my new SEF CMS site ready.

My previous website was something I’d done myself, and had been using for the past 5 years, but it was reaching its limit because it was such a manual process for me to add new pages or new products. It was very time consuming and labour intensive to create the pages so that the side links would all update, and I would have to check my emails daily just in case a product had sold out, and would then have to update my website. I always had ideas on articles to write, and pages that my customers would fine useful, but it was always such a time consuming process.

I have been helping create the pages for the new site, and transferring everything over from my new site. But in the process, I added 1,400 extra pages of useful content because it was just so easy to make new pages. Even easier than writing blog posts.

So my page number has increased from 375 to over 1700 since the new CMS site is loaded. I am sure this will really help my google ranking – but will update you on that in a few months.

With the new CMS site I love how the menus are so easy to change, and navigation around the site is very easy for the shopper. But its also really easy for me to keep all my pages neatly filed in the different folders.

Canz design worked with me tirelessly to get the right look for the site. This was something that I was very conscious of, and wanted the site to look 100% perfect. To tie in with the image of my brand and existing use of colours.

Its been one week since we launched the new baby. I’ve definitely noticed an increase in the sale of obscure little products, the things that were slow sellers with my old site. It was probably because no body could find them or knew that I sold them. A lot of these “obscure” things, I have actually added as a small thumbnail “related product” at the bottom of popular pages, and it has helped increase the Add on Sales. Its really easy to do these things with the new site.

Preparing the new site beforehand did take a while, but there was plenty of opportunity for me to learn how the new system worked. Canzdesign loaded everything onto a temporary server for me, so that every page could be fully tested before we transferred it over. Then the transfer process took less than an hour, I was really surprised. It was almost like ‘click the switch’ and the new website was loaded. Not a single customer was inconvenienced.

I was initially quite dubious about changing to a new CMS site, but this has really made my life easier and I can see the benefits for the future. Although it has only been one week here are a couple of examples:

A supplier notified me on Friday that they were discounting products by 25% for 72 hours. I decided to pass on the savings to my customers. Within 60 minutes I had discounted all the prices for about 40 products (of their brand) on the website, contacted my database of 7,000 to tell them about the quick sale, checked all stock available. Then my family and I actually went to Rotorua for the weekend, and I had no computer access.

With my old website, I would have had to update the store pages when a certain size had sold out, to ensure that noone else would purchase it (so I had to be around whenever there was a web sale). But with the new CMS site, if a size sells out, it just drops out. So I did not need to worry about this at all. And just came home to lots of orders to pack.

• Another example, is for some of my products we have lots of different spare parts available. With my old site, I just had a long list of the parts available and people would email me for a quotation. This was purely because the thought of loading all those separate products into my old store was daunting, and I was too lazy. But today I loaded the popular spare parts, it was painless. This was something that I should have done at least two years ago, but had never got around too. Now people can just buy them online, and they don’t need to email me about it. So this will cut down on my workload too.

I’ll give you another update after we settle in, as it has only been a week.

“Lynn and her partner revamped my website early in 2007.

Her brief was to give it a new, professional image and adapt for optimum SEO. I have nothing but praise for the work and subsequent results of these services. From a non-performing website which rarely generated any enquiries and didn't feature high in any search engine rankings I now receive a steady stream of enquiries and subsequent work from the site.

Any requests for changes
My site is now easy to find through search engines and Google Analytics proves Lynn's SEO does indeed deliver on her promises. Lynn has been invaluable in her advise and ideas in how to promote my business, often going above and beyond the call of duty. I have recommended Lynn to many of my clients and consider myself fortunate to have found a reliable, honest SEO Consultant who has exceeded my expectations.” Your VA April 9, 2009
