The Business Needs
Understanding the Needs of Six Star Rentals
Six Star Rentals needed a stable, high-performing website to support its growing online rental business. The primary challenge was frequent site crashes, which disrupted the rental process and impacted customer trust. The goal was to create a smooth, reliable, and user-friendly platform that could handle product rentals efficiently without downtime.
The website required seamless navigation for browsing products, selecting rental durations, and completing transactions. It was equally important to ensure compatibility with key plugins like WooCommerce and Mailchimp, maintain secure server configurations, and optimize backend performance for better stability.
Built on WordPress for flexibility and scalability, the site had to be optimized for speed, mobile responsiveness, and uninterrupted functionality, offering customers a hassle-free rental experience.
About Our Client: Six Star Rentals is an Australian-based eCommerce business specializing in renting electronics, home appliances, furniture, and scooters. With a mission to make quality products accessible without the high upfront cost, the company focuses on convenience, affordability, and customer satisfaction.
Our Approach
Reviving a seamless online rental experience for electronics and appliances.
To restore the client’s website stability, we began by conducting a full technical audit to pinpoint the root causes of frequent crashes. Our focus was on resolving fatal errors, improving server health, and ensuring uninterrupted user access.
We addressed plugin conflicts by updating all plugins to their latest stable versions, fixed code-level issues causing downtime, and patched server-side vulnerabilities. Since the site’s performance was impacted by server configuration, we spun up a new Ubuntu server on AWS, ensuring a clean and optimized hosting environment.
