I have loved to create since the moment I picked up a crayon and as I grew that skill I

was drawn to the power the Art and Design has to evoke emotion and connect with

people.


I started my journey toward designing websites for local business long before I

learned how to use a web design platform, my journey started when I saw the

profound reaction we have to imagery and through my work within local businesses

saw how that imagery and representation can shape how well a business is

connected to it’s customers.


Most of my working life has been spent behind the counter of a small local business,

I’ve owned them, worked in them, worked with them and now I’m here to promote

them.


I know first hand how hard business owners work, I know how much they love the

work they do and how dedicated they are to their customers and seeing great local

businesses and passionate business owners struggle to be seen because their

website and marketing materials aren't a true reflection of their business is a huge

loss in incredible potential.


I'd like to share a quote by Realist Painter Edward Hopper

"If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint"


How do you tell your community what you do, why and how well you do it, without

using words?


Good design is Artistry


It tells your story, it shows the passion you have for industry and the people you

serve.


Your website design is the visual representation that your community and potential

clients are using to decide if you are the business they will choose.

That’s the power of Design.


Good Design makes sure you are seen and heard


It makes websites easier to use, it makes you look professional, current and

trustworthy, it even effects your SEO, which is how your website talks to browsers

like Google


If you are trying to run your business, serve your customers, network, manage staff,

find new clients, manage your finances... and all of the hats we wear as business

owners... you have to do all of that AND MAKE IT LOOK GOOD!


That's where I come in!


My passion is to create designs that tell your businesses story, to share it with your

community and make sure that you are heard, while you focus on running your

business.


If you are ready to be seen, heard and known for exactly what your business does

and who you are as a trusted, professional and knowledgeable local business, shoot

me an email or visit my website, tell me your story and lets make sure that your

community knows that story too.


I am Jessica Nye owner of Amaryllis Quill I am a website designer and business

media creator...and I make you look good!

Time to make good use of my weekly swimming laps with fellow club members at Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club Tuesday night surf sports training!


Our Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club swimmers are taking on the Starlight Super Swim Challenge to help brighten the lives of sick kids across Australia!


Can you chip in or share with your peers to support the challenge? https://superswim.org.au/m-surf-life-saving-club

Why I'm a Super Swim Hero

This February, swimmers from the Mandurah Surf Life Saving Club will be taking part in the Super Swim Challenge to raise funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation. Did you know that every minute of every day a sick child is admitted to hospital in Australia? Serious childhood illness doesn't just impact a child's health. It can turn their whole life upside down, causing them to miss out on spending time with their family, building friendships, going to school and just living their life. Australia has one of the best healthcare systems in the world. But sick children and young people need more than the exceptional care that our clinicians can offer. They need the social and emotional support that lets them be a child. Starlight use play, social connection and creativity to support sick kids in some of their toughest times and positively change their healthcare experience. ​ It would mean so much if you'd support our challenge because together, we can make a real difference for sick kids.

QUICK TAKEAWAY

  • YOUR DOMAIN NAME IS YOUR DIGITAL IDENTITY

  • SEO BEGINS WITH YOUR DOMAIN NAME

  • PROTECT YOUR DOMAIN NAME BY OWNING YOUR .COM.AU AND .AU DOMAINS

  • AQ HAS YOU COVERED BY CREATING A DOMAIN PURCHASE STRATEGY

  • NOTIFY AQ IF YOU WANT TO OWN YOUR DOMAINS


Hello and Welcome Team AQ to the First Edition "Amaryllis Quill - The Digital Scroll" Newsletter! This is a space where I can share industry tips, tools and resources to boost your business potential! In this Edition we are going to focus on Branding using SEO , in particular "Changes to your Australian Domain Name."


When we hear the word "brand" in business, the first thing that comes to mind is what your business looks like to your clientele, but it's reach extends far beyond that. Not only do we think about branding in terms of visual identity; recognisable logo's, colours, themes; but the quality of your business core values, goals, service and structure all reflect what you present to current, potential and returning business.


Protecting and upholding that individualised branding is vital to maintaining a trusted image and reputation in your industry and community. Now that there is access to so many competitors through online portals, the right branding can set you apart, and either make or break your business.


Q: So, What is one way you can protect your online branding? A: "SEO"


"Yes, I've heard that before, that's why I hired Amaryllis Quill!" I hear you say, but we're talking about even more than your website content being optimised for search results in Google and other online browsers. Today, we are talking about your first piece of SEO: Your Website Domain Name.


Most of you will have chosen a domain name based on; which phrase you liked to represent your business at the time, your business name OR a domain name that was available at the time. All good choices, but consider now someone owning a domain name exactly like yours, with an Australian twist!


Aussie websites are usually identified by search engines as having a .com.au or .net.au domain, these are the characters found on the end of your domain name (eg. www.amaryllisquill.COM.AU), but from 24th March 2022 domain names could be registered in the .AU domain and, if left unclaimed, these domains will be up for grabs by any other Australian Resident or Business. (that means someone else will own www.amaryllisquill.AU ) This creates brand confusion, client confusion and risk of competitors and domain investors claiming your domain name under a .au domain.


All is not lost! If you currently own a domain name, also known as a URL, under a .com.au or .net.au domain, you can register for priority to claim the .au domain until 20th September 2022, before they are made available to the wider public for purchase on 3rd October 2022.


As a Standard SEO Strategy for all current clients, Amaryllis Quill will be purchasing your .au domain during your next billing cycle. If you do not currently own .com.au domain of your business name this will also be purchased if available. Domain names will be purchased under your details in a "Go Daddy" Domain Registration Account (You will own this account and your business .com.au and .au domain names) If you wish to have this added please get in touch and I can walk you through the process!
