Client Overview:
Ecological Surveys & Planning is an environmental consultancy providing statutory and informal ecological assessments, scientific research, and property pre-purchase reports across south-eastern Australia. Established by Dr Steve Douglas, the business has been operating for more than 20 years, offering independent and scientifically rigorous advice to government, corporate, NGO, and private clients. Their work supports biodiversity conservation, responsible land management, and informed environmental decision-making.
Project Goals:
This project involved rebuilding an existing website that had originally been developed overseas but did not meet the client’s expectations. The goal was to create a professional, well-structured website that accurately reflects the company’s expertise and integrity while providing clear information about their specialist services. It was also important to include sections detailing Ecological Surveys & Planning’s accreditations, ethical standards, and recent project work – reinforcing credibility and demonstrating their scientific approach.
Our Approach:
We developed a clean, professional WordPress website that showcases the depth of expertise and experience behind Ecological Surveys & Planning. Built with Elementor, the new site features a well-organised service structure, clear navigation, and an understated design aesthetic that aligns with the scientific nature of their work. The inclusion of a regularly updated blog highlights ongoing projects and fieldwork, while pages outlining ethics, methodology, and accreditations strengthen transparency and trust. The project also underscores the advantages of working with a local Australian web designer for responsive support and tailored solutions.
