Website design

Let’s be frank. If your website doesn’t look good, people aren’t going to stay on it for very long.

With so many companies competing online, you literally can’t afford to let your web presence slide.

Our talented website designers will ensure your website makes a strong impression and looks like an extension of your brand or organisation. We will work with you to create a consistent style for your content, from typography to colours - and everything in between.  

We can also take care of your photography, videography and animation, so your content looks sharp, engages visitors to the site, and captures your team and the things you do best.

Web development

While it is fundamental to make sure your website is enticing, what’s happening behind the scenes is equally important.

We work alongside trusted website development partners across Aotearoa, and can accommodate most website content management systems (CMS) preferences depending on your needs. We can also help you choose.

When building your website, we will make sure it is fully functional, built to a high standard, and secure. We will also take care of the background tasks required to launch it once everything is ready and provide regular maintenance and content to keep everything running smoothly.

  • Websites are the shopfront of today’s world. If you don’t have a functional, appealing website, chances are you are missing out on huge customer opportunities.

    Just having any old website that doesn’t get updated, isn’t mobile-friendly and is hard to navigate will not cut it. Online consumers make value judgements about a website (and by extension, the organisation itself) within seconds of landing on a site. If they don’t like what they see, they can be gone and onto a competitors’ site with just a click.

    Having a visually pleasing site that is easy to navigate, informative, accessible, up-to-date and well-designed will help boost your reputation. It will also encourage visitors to stay on your site longer and increase your chances of a new sale, booking or request for service.

  • We begin the website design and development process by meeting with your team to get a clear understanding of what you do and how you operate. Getting to know you will ensure we can create and develop your website to make a strong online impression. If you already have a site, we can audit your existing platform and propose effective improvements. This stage includes developing a website structure and hierarchy.

    We then work to create a consistent style for your content, from typography and colours to tone, personality and everything in between.

    The next step is creating the content, which we develop for you. This can include page copy, photography, videography and animation. 

    SEO is another key consideration, and we can manage this to ensure your new or revised site is positioned to get seen online.
