The brief
A website as warm and welcoming as the daycare itself
Woof n Wags Doggie Daycare needed a website that reflected the energy, care, and personality of their facility. Pet owners needed to instantly see what makes the daycare special, the fun environment, professional groomers, caring staff, and weekly themed activities, and feel confident leaving their dog in safe hands.
The site had to be easy for the team to update themselves, look great on mobile (where most pet owners browse), and rank well in local Google searches. WordPress with Elementor Pro was the natural choice, giving the client full visual control without any developer dependency.
The approach
WordPress + Elementor, built for the client, not the developer
Every design decision was made with the Woof n Wags team in mind. They needed to update photos, change opening hours, add blog posts about their themed weeks, and manage enquiries, all without calling a developer. Elementor Pro made that possible while still delivering a polished, professional result.
- 01
Photography-led design
Real photos of the dogs, the facility, and the staff are front and centre. The hero section, service cards, and gallery all use authentic imagery, building trust and personality that stock photos never could.
- 02
Trust signals throughout
100% Licensed, Dedicated Staff, Satisfied Clients, these trust badges are prominently displayed with green accents, giving new visitors immediate confidence in the quality of care.
- 03
Local SEO from day one
Every page is optimised with Yoast SEO for local search terms. Service pages target specific queries like “dog daycare Brisbane” and “dog grooming near me” to capture pet owners actively searching.
- 04
Client-managed content
The WordPress admin with Elementor means Woof n Wags can update any page, add blog posts, swap photos, and change pricing, all through an intuitive visual editor with no code required.
The timeline
From brand workshop to live website
Discovery and Brand Workshop
Met with the Woof n Wags team to understand their services, daycare, grooming, themed activity weeks, and the warm, playful brand personality they wanted the site to reflect. Gathered photography, logo assets, and colour palette.
Design and Layout in Elementor
Designed the full site visually in Elementor Pro, hero sections with real photography of the dogs, service cards with green accent CTAs, trust badges (100% Licensed, Dedicated, Satisfied Clients), and a mobile-first navigation.
Content, SEO and Forms
Wrote and structured all service page content, configured Yoast SEO for local search visibility, built enquiry and booking forms, and connected email notifications for the team.
Testing and Launch
Cross-browser and cross-device testing, image optimisation, SSL setup, Google Analytics integration, and go-live. The site was handed over with a walkthrough so the client could manage content independently.
The stack
Reliable tools the client can own
