Web Copy Refresh

THE CLIENT

Factory51 is an Italian restaurant, pizzeria, and function venue. Nestled in inner-city Coorparoo, the handsome red brick warehouse has been carefully restored giving guests an authentic rustic industrial experience.

THE DELIVERABLES

Covid-19 has had a devastating effect on the hospitality industry. Those who have kept operating have adapted to the changing environment, and have looked for ways to best position their business for the future. Supported by a government grant for small business, Factory51 contracted Withasee to refresh their web copy. 

We overhauled the content for eight web pages, ensuring consistency across headings, meta descriptions, multiple panels, and page layouts. Half of the existing web pages had minimal or duplicate content, so we re-wrote the copy, increasing it to include relevant information. FAQs were also added to each page to benefit visitors and assist with SEO.

We delivered the project on-time with positive feedback from Factory51 and a resulting upward turn in web traffic.
