Creating the first digital presence for a specialist Sydney window furnishings business, bringing positioning, content, customer experience and digital delivery together from the ground up.

Project Snapshot

A complete digital build for SHADES BY vassilieff – a specialist window furnishings business led by Darren Vassilieff, working with homeowners, interior designers, builders and architects across Sydney.

Previously built through reputation, referrals and word of mouth, the business had no website or established digital presence. Starting with an existing logo, strong industry expertise and a body of completed work, we created the brand’s first complete online customer experience.

The Challenge

SHADES BY vassilieff had an established reputation offline, but no digital platform to communicate that value to new customers.

The challenge was to:

  • Build a complete digital presence from scratch
  • Translate Darren’s expertise and personal service into clear messaging
  • Explain a broad range of window furnishing solutions simply
  • Showcase completed work and build trust beyond word of mouth
  • Create a clear journey from initial discovery through to enquiry

The Approach

I built the digital experience around what was already making the business successful: Darren’s expertise, considered advice and personal service from consultation through to measuring, product selection and final installation.

Every decision focused on making the business feel clear, trusted and easy to engage:

  • A simple, confident positioning and messaging system
  • A structured customer journey across curtains, blinds, shutters and outdoor solutions
  • Product education balanced with strong project imagery
  • Testimonials, FAQs and clear enquiry pathways to build confidence
  • A refined visual system extending across website and social content

    The Result

    • SHADES BY vassilieff’s first complete digital presence
    • A polished, responsive website built from the ground up
    • Clear positioning around Darren’s expertise and end-to-end personal service
    • A strong online portfolio of completed work
    • Clear pathways from discovery through to consultation
    • SEO and search foundations for future growth
    • A consistent visual and content system across web and social

    SHADES BY vassilieff now has a digital platform that reflects the reputation, quality and personal service already behind the business.

      Why it Worked

      Because this digital solution wasn’t treated as simply building a website

      The project was about taking an established word-of-mouth business and creating its first complete digital presence

      Strategy, content, customer experience and execution were developed together from the beginning

      Working with Ange was such an enjoyable experience. She made the process easy every step of the way. She was able to identify my brand and clarify a strategy to move forward with my business. It was soon evident that Ange was not just designing a website but creating a digital experience that would reflect my business ethos, showcase my work and communicate this with potential new customers whilst creating a simple pathway for their enquiries.
      I am absolutely thrilled with the overall digital presence Ange has created. It represents my work and brand with complete authenticity and I am very proud and excited of what we have created in partnership. I would 100% recommend Ange to other businesses and am certain she will surpass all of their expectations.
