Our work
They say the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the website
So get out your spoon and enjoy the buffet.
We work in two ways - either directly with business owners and organisations, or in partnership with their design agencies. That means we produce a very wide variety of designs, and it's all represented here. Where graphic design is supplied by one of our partners, we've attrbuted it in the notes.
Living Edge
Living Edge has had a website for a few years now. During that time, a lot of material had been added, but little taken away. We redesigned the website to do away with almost any text on the homepage, letting their own stunning design speak for itself. Then we built in a content management system so that they could update photography and text whenever they needed to. It's simple, effective and a beautiful introduction to the client's business.
Whitecliffe College of Art
We took over the Whitecliffe website in 2008, gutted it and put in a custom-designed, super-friendly Content Management System, laying the foundations for a fantastic site that will continue to develop in the years to come.
Gimmeone.co.nz
Gimme One is a local e-commerce website that sells funky tee-shirts. It's an online shop - pure and simple - selling great products to kiwis in a traditional online retail environment. It's a competitive market, and this site had to be designed within a budget but still be able to foot it with the big boys.
Alcamo Interiors
An online portfolio and brochure for this smart and sophisticated interior furnishings store, based in Newmarket, the shopping district of Auckland. For a store whose tagline reads "The look is smart but casual, timeless and sophisticated..." we just had to have a site design to match.
Foundation Business Software
Foundation Business Software is a company chock-full of technical skill, but who weren't afraid to ask for help when it came to design. They wanted us to make a small company look bigger, to portray them as open and friendly without compromising their professionalism, and to get the content that mattered to their audience. We delivered.
Kids Foundation / IDFNZ
One day while we were busy building websites, we got a phone call from a charity asking for donations. The Kids Foundation wanted us to send them money, What they got instead was a brand new website, donated free of charge, along with an indefinite support contract, also at no charge. We hope it can go some way to helping these deserving kids.
Legacy Construction
Legacy builds commercial buildings; big, solid buildings made of concrete and steel and wood. But they're not without finesse and style. They brought us a brand and some photos, and we took it from there.

Ubertec
We've been working with Ubertec, a specialised Apple retailer based in Parnell, Auckland, for several years - helping them to establish a strong online presence in a competitive market. Creating a site that syncs easily with their internal product database was a challenge, but one we were able to rise to, providing a clean and easy to use website to promote their product and service offerings.
MTD Build
We were approached by Mark Dawson, owner of MTD Build, to take his existing website and give it more gloss, optimising it for search engines along the way. Without re-inventing the wheel, we were able to provide MTD Build with a premium design.
