Type: Business website
Sauvarins Glass is an Auckland based glazing company that has been a presence in the New Zealand glazing industry for over 80 years. Sauvarins have the capability to undertake a range of glazing projects, with a proven track record in larger scale commercial work, residential new-builds, insurance claims and retrofit Double Glazing. A new website needed to portray this and at the same time generate new sales leads via email and direct phone contact.
The Details
Although Sauvarins have been around for a long time it was important to show that they have been an innovator and have adopted modern methodologies,as well as having a full understanding of todays construction industry.
Their current website looked dated and in need of a refresh, and they were looking for something that looked modern, professional and streamlined.

On completion of the full briefing document Streams designers provided a website to meet the objectives.
Why did it improve sales?
Having this site was only part of the overall equation.
Success was achieved using good old-fashioned web design principals including good content, proper structure, and targeted approach.
With an Active Google adwords campaign already in place the implementation of the new site using the Stream Platform nearly doubled site traffic, showing the value of leveraging site content and marketing in a coordinated fashion.
On the day of go live Sauvarins received several requests for quotes resulting in new jobs almost immediately. On going contact continues to be of significant value.
Choosing Stream's CMS platform also meant that its native SEO tools would provide effective measures to ensure that the first cut of the site would be found on Google.
