Client Overview:
Stonehurst Cedar Creek is a boutique Hunter Valley vineyard offering premium wines, charming self-contained cottages, and a picturesque setting for weddings and events. As a working vineyard with strong tourism appeal, Stonehurst needed a website that could elegantly showcase their property, products, and guest experiences while also supporting online sales.
Project Goals:
The goal of this project was to refresh an outdated website with a modern, user-friendly design and improved eCommerce functionality. The new site needed to reflect the character and beauty of the vineyard while providing a seamless experience for visitors looking to purchase wines, book accommodation, or learn more about hosting weddings and events at the property.
Our Approach:
We designed a sophisticated WordPress website built with Elementor, integrating WooCommerce for online wine sales via the NAB Payment Gateway. A Mailchimp newsletter form was added to help Stonehurst stay connected with guests and customers, while a photo gallery displays their stunning property and event imagery. We also integrated social media and TripAdvisor, and performed keyword research to strengthen SEO and attract more organic visitors searching for Hunter Valley wine and accommodation experiences.
Key Features:
- WordPress website built with Elementor
- WooCommerce online store with NAB Payment Gateway
- Mailchimp newsletter signup integration
- TripAdvisor and social media integration
- Keyword research and SEO optimisation for improved visibility
- Elegant, mobile-responsive design reflecting the vineyard’s charm.
