We’ve been busily working through and have got a few more sites we can give you glimpse of before they hit the world wide web.

Currently under development are the following websites:

If you looked at the old Geyserland 4.W.D. club website, pictured below left, prior to the revamp, you would have had no idea from looking at the site who it was for.

Their web editor approached us looking for a fresh modern website that was easily to update and more user friendly than their current site. After our initial meeting with the client, learning more about the Geyserland 4.W.D. Club and all the great work they do in the community (e.g. fund raising) we decided to become a sponsor and support them by providing our services.

Our first goal with the revamp was to create a muddy/dirty theme while remaining modern and readable.

The client is pleased and we are proud to be supporting such a generous local club.

Star Anise Kitchen

A well awarded, internationally recognised local Rotorua chef has contracted us to revamp their website to give them a clean modern ‘shop front’ from which to grow their business further.

Geyserland 4WD Club

The local Rotorua 4WD Club approached Hodgeman Web & Design to ask for our help to bring their current website to life. With all the great fund raising that they do, we were more than happy to develop a smart new look for their club website and set it up on a Content Management System for this non profit organisation free of charge.

Plus we’ve got another few in the pipeline so stay tuned for future updates.
Once these websites go live I’ll be sure to let you.

We originally designed a family/beach theme for WordPress but then the client wanted to change their direction to market more to surfers, so we created this slightly more surfer-ish theme for their website.

This website has been in the pipeline for a couple of weeks while the client tried to get their current host to setup the mySQL database required for WordPress installation, but we’ve ended up hosting it for them to save hassle and to get the site up live sooner.

His old site lacked photos and was very outdated even though I was very pleased to see that it wasn’t built using tables!

Design Public Space

Ian contacted me earlier this month needing a new website to promote his award winning global landscape architecture business. He liked our clean no-nonsense approach to website design and wanted to enlist our services.

Chalet Surf

Another word of mouth client rang me last week wanting a modern, functional website for her Wainui Beach accommodation. She had undergone rebranding and just needed a smart looking website to complete the package. She was having no luck and making slow progress with a local provider.

Banksia Cottage

My old landlord is converting the one bedroom unit my wife and I lived in for a few years into a self-contained rural urban escape. We’ve completed logo design and brochure rack DL cards, and are in the final stages of finalising website concept sign-off.

The new owners wanted a modern funky website to relate better to their demographic.

Great to see that they’ve adopted social media by using Twitter to keep their followers informed and to reach out to their target market. Be sure to follow them at twitter.com/Kina_Backpacker.

Their newly revamped website will give them a much more professional and engaging ‘shop front’ for any potential clients.

They wanted to be able to login from anywhere and publish new articles relating to their industry, make tweaks to their content and post photos of new installations they have completed.

We suggested the powerful yet simple and user friendly WordPress blogging/content management system.

What you see below is a thumbnail screenshot of the custom theme we created for their sole use.
