From Strawberry Fields to Digital Fields: Why Ocean View Businesses Need to Get Online

If you've ever found yourself at the Elimbah level crossing, watching that seemingly endless train roll by while mentally calculating how late you'll be to your next appointment, you'll know that timing is everything in Ocean View. Just like that train crossing, missing the right moment in business can cost you precious opportunities.

G'day! I'm Jaclyn from Cookies&Cache, and while I spend my days knee-deep in code instead of strawberry fields, I've got a special spot in my heart for Ocean View businesses. Let's chat about why your business needs to be as visible online as the Glass House Mountains on a clear morning.

The Changing Face of Ocean View Business

Those days are about as distant as the view from Mount Beerwah. Even our beloved local farms have gone digital - because let's face it, Brisbane daytrippers aren't checking the Tav's bulletin board before planning their strawberry picking adventure.

Why the Digital Field is Just as Important as Your Real One

Let's be honest - Ocean View isn't exactly Silicon Valley. We're more about strawberry fields than server fields. But here's the thing: your customers are online, whether they're:

• Looking for the best PYO strawberry farm
• Searching for a reliable tradie for their acreage property
• Trying to book a table at the Tav for Friday night

The Ocean View Business Challenge

Our local businesses face unique challenges:

• Seasonal fluctuations (hello, strawberry picking season!)
• Rural internet struggles (we've all cursed the NBN at some point)
• The "we're not Caboolture!" identity crisis

What Makes a Great Ocean View Business Website?

Just like you wouldn't plant strawberries without preparing the soil, you shouldn't launch a website without the right foundations. Here's what your website needs:

• Mobile-friendly design (because people search while driving around looking for farm gates)
• Clear location information (more specific than "just past the train crossing")
• Online booking systems (especially for our PYO farms)
• Local SEO optimization (so you show up when people search "Ocean View businesses")

Making Technology Work for Your Business

Whether you're running a farm gate stall or maintaining acreage properties, your website should work as hard as you do. And just like everyone knows the best time to avoid the level crossing, we know the best ways to:

• Get your business found online
• Keep your information up to date (seasonal changes and all)
• Make it easy for customers to contact you
• Show off what makes your business special
