Please tell your team I love the website! And thank you for making me laugh every time we communicate. I will definitely tell others about your business as it is one of the best I have worked with in years.

Waqa Studios helped us by developing a brand strategy and a website strategy. They then produced the resulting brand materials, then developed and launched our new website.
Their work has already produced excellent results starting from the day our website launched.
Our company, MediCannabis, provides a service in what is still a new market in Australia. We have challenges related to how to distinguish a medical practice from all the unrelated content surrounding cannabis already on the Internet.
Furthermore, we provide a medical service, which in itself is a very challenging industry to present in a manner that is pleasant since the focus of our content itemises illnesses. Waqa Studios made the effort to gain a true sense of these challenges and how to tackle them effectively. They conducted research and explained their thought process on why they made their recommendations. They are communicative and there is always feedback on specifics throughout the strategy and building process. Colours, identity, photo selection, layout, website structure and navigational flow were all among the items worked on to produce the resulting brand and website. All this is hugely beneficial for us.
They built a user-focused website that enables patients to find specifically what they need when searching online for doctors to help them with their health condition. Once arriving on the website the patient experiences a sense of hope, relief, and happiness from the branding. They can see information on treatments available specific to them, and the flow of the experience makes it easy for patients to book an appointment from the website, and this is integrated with our clinical booking system. Waqa Studios consider all these factors and are a pleasure to work with.

We know our services, we know how to sell them, but we don't know how you should present them on a website in a way that brings us the maximum amount of interest from potential leads. You guys solved that.

Our experience with Waqa Studios could not have been better. They seamlessly implemented our design requests to create a responsive website that went above and beyond our expectations. Waqa exhibits a strong awareness for responsive layout and its relationship to the user experience – resulting in a website that separates our business from the rest of the industry. More...

We're a small exporter but we have begun launching value-added commercial products based on our raw export, chia. Entering several markets in different countries as a direct competitor to large established multinationals is no small task, but Waqa Studios provided the means to help set us apart and show why and how our products are different to theirs. The team at Waqa Studios listened to what we needed and asked all the right questions, which stood out. Their creativity and ability to understand what we needed rather than what we asked for is second to none and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or work with them again. More...

Our organization had outgrown our existing website, which was clunky and stale. To put it politely it was in desperate need of an overhaul.
As a rapidly growing non-profit, the number one priority for our website was scalability. Our team is very small, so the ability to update our site with the least amount of effort was a must. Almost equally important was the need to create an improved user experience.
A perfect mix of approachable designers and developers, the Waqa Studios’ team understood our needs and translated them into a beautifully designed website. We are thrilled to have a website that represents who we are as an organization and is now proudly shared with our members. Working with Waqa Studios was a pleasure and we would not hesitate to recommend them for website design and development.

What makes a great website?
STRATEGY. A website isn’t just a pretty face. It’s one of the main tools in your marketing arsenal, or in the case of ecommerce, possibly your main point of sale and the core of your business. A new website project needs to be approached with a Website Strategy already developed.
But what is a Website Strategy?
The purpose of a website strategy is to blend your business goals with the website design process. Remember, we’re not designing a website just to look pretty. We’re designing an interface that is usable and accessible, one that helps your business meet its objectives.
A plan that takes this into account is called a Website Strategy. At Waqa Studios, we consider defining this to be the most important step of any online venture… and it doesn’t matter whether you’re replacing an existing website or creating a completely new one. In many larger projects we’re involved in (if they involve building a website), the actual designing and building of the website itself can sometimes be a smaller task compared to everything that we do to plan for its success beforehand.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
We have a process to follow for all projects that involves, regardless of the size, a discovery phase with a number of relevant questions. We're here to help you articulate your needs and tie those needs into a specific positive outcome.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
We have a process that has been developed over the course of our 10 years of experience that gets to the heart of what your business needs – and we offer that rather than just what you request.
