Success stories

Challenge

With a focus on a progressive and creative education environment, the challenge for the Woodleigh School website was to present an engaging, dynamic, and truly unique digital flagship experience, while balancing the more practical day-to-day needs of a school’s website.

Solution

The website contains endless instances of engaging illustration and animation — we affectionately refer to them as ‘microdoses of joy’. Working with renowned Melbourne-based illustrator Carla McRae, we developed a set of animated illustrations that represent the key stages of education through the Woodleigh School system. These illustrations have been creatively integrated into the website design, ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Result

The outcome of this project is a user experience that truly pushes the boundaries of what a school website is expected to be. Like Woodleigh School, the new website is one of its kind in its field.

Challenge

Limited budget and complex CMS Many technical SEO changes had to be implemented via MND Victoria's internal teams using documentation from Spicy Web. All content and keywords had to balance search optimisation with the compassionate tone required when discussing MND. MND Victoria had to compete with larger national organisations including MND Australia and FightMND for organic search visibility.

Solution

Resolved sitemap inconsistencies, canonical errors, and improved site hygiene. Deployed structured schema markup for key pages, including Organisation, LocalBusiness, WebSite, Service, and FAQs. On-Page Optimisation. Implemented a strategic off-page SEO plan, building high-quality citations and backlinks to increase domain authority and elevate page-one visibility for key queries.

Working with Spicy Web on the paid media campaign for our Faith For Freedom App has been an incredibly positive experience. Their team quickly understood the sensitivity and importance of our mission and translated that into a strategic campaign that significantly improved our online visibility and awareness across our target audiences. Since launching the campaign, we have seen a strong increase in app awareness, engagement, and downloads, along with much stronger reach and visibility across our digital channels. The campaign has helped us connect with audiences we would not have reached otherwise and has strengthened the overall presence of the Faith For Freedom initiative internationally. What we have valued most is the professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care the Spicy Web team has shown throughout the process. They have been proactive, collaborative, transparent with reporting and insights, and always willing to adapt strategies to achieve the best outcomes. Their team feels like an extension of our own, and their commitment to both results and purpose-driven work has made them an outstanding partner to work with.

Danielle, Dominic and the team at Spicy Web have been amazing to work with for a new website project I led for a not-for-profit organisation. I would highly recommend Spicy Web for their personable approach, really taking the time to understand our brief and goals, and for maintaining open and friendly conversation throughout the entire process. Love our new site!

SpicyWeb helped us build/migrate a new eCommerce site a few months ago and we couldn't be happier. Their communication throughout the whole process was clear and consistent, and they were happy to work within our budget without trying to upsell unnecessary features. Their work was to a really high standard and we've been using the site for 6 months with no issues. Our products are not straightforward and needed a lot of attention to detail when it came to categories, metafields, etc. SpicyWeb handled the site build from start to end with integrity and efficiency which was a lot different to previous experiences we had with other SEO and digital agencies. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to get an eCommerce site taken to the next level or built from scratch.

We worked with Spicy Web on our new PRO website and had a great experience. The team was professional, responsive, and easy to work with, taking the time to understand our needs and deliver a site we’re really happy with. The process was well managed and communication was clear throughout. We’d happily recommend Spicy Web to others.

We’ve been working with Spicy Web for around four months to help increase registrations for our school’s Open Mornings, with the broader goal of lifting applications and enrolments. The team has been fantastic in guiding us through the world of paid media—educating us on the process, managing campaign creation, and optimising ad spend so we can focus on other marketing priorities. Their work has delivered real, measurable results: strong call-to-action responses and increased engagement from prospective families. They also proactively suggest new content ideas (special shout-out to Luke, Pia and Royden for making this happen), which has added even more value to the partnership. Spicy Web genuinely feels like an extension of our team. They’ve taken the time to understand our business, visit the campus, get excited about our journey, and treat our budget with care—adjusting ad spend as if it were their own. We’ve built a great working relationship, and we’ve already engaged them for another stream of work. I’d happily recommend Spicy Web to any organisation looking for an expert, collaborative and results-driven digital marketing partner.
