Project Scope
Developed in collaboration with DMKT Performance (client-interaction, strategy & content) and our team (web development).
Prysma DMKT build a fully functional, SEO-optimised WordPress website for a private airport & regional transfer company operating across the Gold Coast, Brisbane & Byron Bay. The site features an online “transfer car” booking system, responsive design (mobile-friendly), fast performance, and image/SEO optimisation.
1. Challenge
CGC Airport Transfers needed a modern digital presence to support their booking operations and to make it easy for customers to reserve transfers online. Key requirements included:
- Display a clear set of vehicle options & pricing for transfers (airport, regional, theme-park, etc.).
- Embed a booking flow (pick-up, drop-off, date/time, number of passengers, vehicle selection, payment).
- Ensure mobile friendliness and fast load times (critical for travellers booking on the go).
- Optimise for SEO (both content & images) to rank for relevant keywords like “Gold Coast airport transfers”, “Brisbane airport transfers”, “Byron Bay private transfer”.
- Provide transparent pricing, high-quality visuals of the fleet, and strong trust signals (flight tracking, child seats, service features).
- Enable the client to easily manage site content via WordPress + Bootstrap framework, using block patterns for flexibility.
2. Solution
Development & Framework
- We built the site on WordPress using the Bootstrap framework to ensure responsive layout and performance.
- Block patterns were implemented so the client (or DMKTPerformance on behalf of the client) can easily add/edit sections (hero banners, service grids, testimonials, vehicle listings, FAQs).
- The booking system was integrated within the site: users enter ride details → choose vehicle → contact details → booking summary → payment link (via PayPal / card).
Performance & Mobile
- Mobile-first design: all pages were tested on various device sizes to ensure readability, tap-friendly buttons, and smooth booking steps.
- Images were optimised (compressing, proper alt tags, descriptive filenames) to reduce load time and improve SEO.
- Caching, minification, and lightweight Bootstrap components helped achieve fast page load times.
SEO & Content Optimisation
- On-page SEO: customised titles, meta descriptions, header tags, schema markup (for service business).
- Images: optimized filenames and alt-text like “Gold Coast Airport Transfers Kia Carnival 7-passengers” to support image search and relevant keywords.
- Service pages: created dedicated pages for each route (Gold Coast Airport, Brisbane Airport, Byron Bay, Theme Park Transfers) to capture long-tail keywords and aid organic visibility. Example list from site menu: “Brisbane Airport Transfers”, “Byron Bay Transfers”, “Gold Coast Airport Transfers”, “Theme Park Transfers”.
- Blog/FAQ section: included a “Frequently Asked Questions” piece to address user concerns and add fresh content.
3. Results
- The website now offers a seamless user experience: visitors can get a quote and book a transfer in under a minute via the booking workflow.
- Mobile users report faster performance and improved experience (due to responsive design and image optimisation).
- SEO visibility improved: service pages now rank for targeted keywords (e.g., “Gold Coast airport transfers”), giving the client better organic traffic and more qualified leads.
- The use of block-patterns makes future content updates and additions (new routes, new vehicles, testimonials) much faster for the client or their partner agency.
- Transparent pricing, professional visuals and trust signals (flight tracking, child seats) help convert visitors into bookings.
4. Key Takeaways
- Combining a robust booking system with a clean, responsive layout transforms a service business into a digital-friendly platform.
- Performance optimisation (especially image optimisation) is critical when catering to mobile users booking transport on the go.
- SEO for service-based websites benefits greatly from route-specific pages and detailed content (vehicles, services, FAQs) rather than just a single homepage.
- Empowering the client with block patterns and WordPress gives long-term value by enabling flexible content updates without heavy development work.
- Close collaboration between the marketing/consultancy partner (DMKTPerformance) and the development team ensures alignment between user journey, content strategy and technical implementation.
