Network One

Our Client

Network One is a fast-growing networking group for business owners in Canberra. Network One allows business owners to form connections with other businesses, over weekly breakfast meetings. They provide valuable information for businesses. They serve as a platform where various local businesses can support one another and help each other grow.

Their Challenge

In their early days, Network One did not have a website at all. As a major networking group in Canberra, having a website was absolutely critical. The main challenge was to get new business owners to join Network One as members. We helped them do that with a quality website that services both members and prospective leads.

Network One had low engagement with their members, and was looking for ways to raise the engagement level through digital platforms. They also wanted new members to join their group, and showcase their place as Canberra’s best networking group for its community and events. Network One did not previously have a website presence, so we gave them a hand.

We implemented expert UI and UX design to deliver a smooth user experience.
The website has a ‘schedule’ section that lists all upcoming events, as well as an events section that shows programs in a calendar form.
The website was successful in promoting the events and network meeting presentations to generate interest.
A booking feature for events was also integrated into the website.

The website and all other brand communications now have a consistent design that conveys their branding, featuring a bright, recognisable orange.
