BSB had a website designed by another company many years ago, however during the design process they failed to contact BSB to finalise the website.
AJ Network & Web Services was contacted to help get their website live. I recommended a redesign to the website for many reasons. The old website was plain, outdated and lacked the functions to rank well in Google.
