Originally part of rotoruaNZ.com, the official tourism website for Rotorua, is now finally standing alone by itself.

Development began late 2009 and it’s great to finally have it launched and live on the interweb.

A simple and clean ‘education’ themed site powered by WordPress, giving the power and simplicity back to the people who own and mange the website, and not us, the web development agency.

Club website.

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.

Banksia Cottage is set on a lifestyle block 10mins North of Rotorua central city on State Highway 33. It’s a lovely small cottage with nice homely touches. Would be great for a small family or couple wanting something a bit more substantial than a square motel or hotel room. The kids will love the animals they have there: dog, cat, chickens, sheep and a pig.

Paddy and Jan are great hosts and we wish them all the best of luck as Rotorua gets set to be New Zealand’s newest international airport, taking direct flights to and from Sydney from December 12, 2009.

They needed something put live straight away to start educating the public, so it’s been launched already but will be a work in progress as we continue to develop and design additional elements and functionality.

Developed initially to inform the Rotorua community as to the new trans-tasman direct flights between Rotorua and Sydney starting December 12, 2009 and all the goings on around the inaugural flight’s arrival. But will continue as a community brand to create a pride in our city by Rotorua locals.

The iconic custom bike frame builder is moving shop from Hinemoa Street to next to the famous Zippy’s Cafe in Pukuatua Street.

He’s also taken on new staff and has recently re-branded. It’s an exciting time as Jeff’s business is going from strength to strength.

What better time to revamp his site to bring it inline and up to scratch with the rest of his business.
