Andi is a Swiss-born builder who spent a lot of time in New Zealand and has now relocated here, bringing his wealth of skills to the Wairarapa. So he needed a website to match! We went with a funky one-page site that tells the story of his skills, expertise and project history in a clean and direct manner. The website is, of course, responsive and SEO enhanced. Pretty too!
The Shelter launched the release of their international brand MM6 - Maison Martin Margiela. They needed window signage, interior wall mural of mesh 6 metres high, placards and footprints for the floor.
Tripoli Bistro in Masterton has entered into new management. With that comes new opening hours, a new menu, new specials... and a new website! Owner Marlon Tortoza needed something up fast, so we leapt into action and whipped up a clean responsive website to tell the world about their fantastic food and fabulous specials. Job done, and only one decision left- a mouth-watering pizza or one of the new open gourmet burgers? Yum...
Dierdre Ryan already had a simple logo for her company Salta Limited: For her Salta Horses venture, she wanted something that retained the feel of her original logo, but captured the essence of the caring and therapeutic benefits she creates when working with people and horses. Bek waved her magic design wand and produced the new look! Dierdre's response? "I just love our new logo.. it makes my heart sing!" That kind of feedback is like an early Christmas present!
Sometimes creating a website can take a fair bit of effort, to make sure all the disparate elements work together to tell a cohesive story with a design that reflects the content. And then sometimes it's just easy-peasy lemon-squeezy! That was the story with the site for Lisa Donaldson Ceramics. Lisa's work is so gorgeous and has such a unique style that it just came together without much fuss. Her cups, bowls, vases and other pottery items are delightful, and now she's got a responsive [...]
We do enjoy supporting local businesses and groups with our print and web work, but it's also exciting when you get to tackle international sites! Even if it means dealing with Australians... (Wait, what? Minty, you grew up in Oz and now you're taking cheap potshots at it? Ah, the Kiwi hooks are in deep...) The Melbourne Writers' Theatre aims to be a provider of resources, information and skills development for Victorian playwrights. Unfortunately, their website was a bit run-down and not responsive, and they [...]

It's a delight to be able to work on a site that brings gorgeous, hand-crafted New Zealand work to the world! Chess Craft create unique chess sets and chess boards, and have just come under new management in the form of David and Stella. They wanted a fresh look and a sparkly new website, and we had great fun coming up with both. The photos on the site got particular attention, being put through the Photoshop gamut to ensure that the details of the hand-painting [...]
Trevor Lamb is a leatherwork master craftsman who makes astonishing leather creations.
