A few of our recent projects have been:
Antipodean Medical Recruitment
Kerrie at Antipodean Medical Recruitment had long had a website she had made herself, but she wanted something that would be ranked higher on search engines, generate more work for the agency and could be easily updated.
We created a new design and built her a custom ZestCMS platform to make it easy to manage. She reports that registrations are way up and that she's busier than she has ever been!
Steve Gurney
Steve has several websites, including some he's built himself, but he wanted one with a few key features: easy to update; well ranked; business generating and professional, that focuses on his professional speaking.
Steve is one of the best known personalities in New Zealand, but how many people know that he's available for corporate talks, motivational speeches and team building work? A lot more now!
Beauty Essentials
Jo came to us for two key things: to be able to easily update her website with new products, services and prices, and to attract new clients to her business.
She has an incredible retention rate, and wanted to couple this with increasing the number of people picking up the phone and coming through the door. We overhauled the site to give it a much more friendly, healthy, and professional feel. She is enjoying her Content Management System as she can now alter the site however and whenever she wants to.
PaddlerZone
This is an e-commerce site for an established kayaking business in Christchurch. The spec was to produce an easy to navigate, readable site that customers can use for both product research and direct purchases. The company's branding is well established, so the design works with that branding while ensuring that the site is clear and readable for users. All products are no more than 2 clicks away from any page on the site.
Latin Fire Dance Studio
Donna and Warren wanted a site designed to attract new students to their Salsa, Merengue and Cha Cha school and provide a central location for the dance studio's dancers to share their photos and provide information on upcoming events and shows.
Latin Fire regularly update this site themselves, adding, editing and removing pages as they wish. They enjoy the content management system so much, that when they purchased Salsa Fusion, another Christchurch Salsa business, they had us migrate the second website into the same easy to use system, while retaining it's original design.
Kite Sports
Tim at Kite Sports was looking for an updated commerce site to drive the sales that his previous e-commerce site wasn't providing. He also wanted it to be easy to edit without having to write his content in HTML.
His business, while always about kites, boards, and lessons, changes its focus with the seasons. Winter is about the snow, spring is about the mountains and summer is about the sea. He wanted his site to reflect this and to set the scene for site visitors. We created a different look for each of these kiteboarding variations that Tim can activate as the seasons change - this could have been automated but sometimes spring arrives late or the snow comes early. Pictured here is the winter version - click on the photo to go to his site and see what season is most prominent in his business right now.
