Dashwood Consulting have been involved in web display and communication technology at a professional and post-graduate study level since 1998. Early experience was with SGML and HTML, building static and data driven dynamic HTML web content and emails.
Customised & hand-coded HTML-based websites started in the early 2000's through to sites built with CSS, XHTML, and DHTML technologies over recent years.
Dashwood Consulting produce a wide range of solutions from basic HTML-based websites, to fully complete website solutions, incorporating a content management system (CMS), customer relationship management (CRM) or integration, profiled database setup, targeted communication email or direct mail marketing, and search engine optimisation (SEO).
Complementing the design and development of web content, Dashwood Consulting also offer domain registration, as well as web and email hosting options specifically designed for small to medium businesses (SMEs).
Complete Website Solutions
Utilising our own knowledge and expertise in web technology and communication, Dashwood Consulting has partnered with some of Australia's largest website providers and development companies, utilising technology for the creation of complete website solutions that is at the forefront of website delivery in Australasia.
Combining over a decade of online experience, together we specialise in ensuring our clients achieve the maximum benefit from their website by integrating their business objectives with their online activities; creating better, more effective business communication.
The technology that we selected to implement many complete website solutions has been developed over the last 10 years with millions of dollars spent on R&D and has been used to successfully complete over 4,500 internet and multimedia projects. Not only including the ability to have a professionally designed website, the system incorporates a content management system (CMS), customer relationship management (CRM) or integration, profiled database setup, targeted communication email or direct mail marketing engine, and search engine optimisation (SEO).
Sending an email is one thing, however sending hundreds or thousands of individually tailored emails as part of a marketing campaign is something else.
We can implement a complete website solution where you manage your bulk email distribution, allowing you to distribute emails containing targeted content, specifically designed to the individual recipient, rather than flooding your customers with unnecessary and unwanted information.
Utilising the unique Integrated Website Success program, we provide our clients with the logical steps required to implement their business strategies online. This program is guaranteed to assist you in maximising the benefits from your website.
A Dashwood Consulting complete website solution will immediately provide you with real benefits at low risk and low investment. We offer fully designed and functional websites for a one off design and deployment fee and an all inclusive monthly plan.
We have a great pedigree when it comes to the design and building of great web sites...but sometimes a complete website system solution isn't what you need.
An effective web presence doesn't have to be a content managed solution with profiled database and newsletter integration.
You need to get your information out there, but maybe you don't need or want the ability to constantly update content...or maybe you need an additional temporary web presence for a particular product or event. Whatever the reason, rest assured that Dashwood Consulting can definitely still help you.
In addition to our complete website solutions, we produce a wide range of solutions from basic HTML-coded web sites, to database and XML driven sites, Flash components, CSS/DHTML template driven, or online brochure style sites.
With in-house design and coders we can service all your web based needs, simply brief us on your requirements and we will manage the project from there.
In addition to the design and construction we also offer domain registration and full hosting and management, as well as website traffic reporting using the latest in web based traffic management software.
Web & Email Hosting
To complement your website solution, Dashwood Consulting works with a number of local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to deliver a range of email and website hosting solutions.
Speed, storage space, and budget requirements will allow us to determine the best Australian-based or US-based solution.
All of our domain name registration and hosting options a4re managed for you. We understand that not every company has an IT department, but that shouldn't stop you getting what you need for your business.
Your business site will be hosted on new Dell 1950 servers, and unlike some other service providers, we dedicate server resources to all of our hosting customers, so that processing time and memory are not shared with any other virtual services being used on the same hardware.

As technology shrinks the size of the world, more companies are doing business outside their own country. Domain names (and the websites they direct to) are powerful marketing tools. Secureing the domain name in the markets you wish to service is important, however you may not be ready to setup a region or country specific site. This option allows multiple domain names to be setup to point to a single website, as well as email being redirected to the one point too (eg. if you have info@xyz.com.au and you have just registered xyz.asia, then info@xyz.asia will automatically redirect to info@xyz.com.au)
So this option includes:
Automatic domain web redirection
Automatic domain email redirection
Parked domain name-- $50/yr
Standard Dashwood Consulting parked page, including:
Company name
Company contact details
Refresh to Dashwood Consulting after 5 seconds
