As a result the websites need to instil trust. They do this in various ways, like creating a personal link by introducing the person; offering up their track record; giving free information to show they know what they are talking about.</font></p> <p> </p> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><p><strong>Ian Jack Architects (Designgroup)</strong> - <a href="http://www.designgroup.co.nz/ija" target="_blank">http://www.designgroup.co.nz/ija</a></p></font> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">IJA is part of Designgroup, a New Zealand wide group of architects. They wanted to raise their profile nationally and internationally and also give an indication of the range of specific skills members of the Designgroup team have and the type of projects they undertake.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We designed a large site where each member of the group can highlight their individual projects and promote the differing services they wish to concentrate on, but have the overall design and branding of the Designgroup site remain consistent. It's very much still a work in progress, with Ian Jack's area complete.</font></p> <p> </p> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><p><strong>People Bizness</strong> - <a href="http://www.peoplebizness.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.peoplebizness.co.nz</a></p></font> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">People Bizness work with two main groups. They provide consulting and training to companies, and offer further development to trainers and facilitators. They've got their marketing down to a T, but wanted it backed up with a site that hit the spot with the busy, professional people they sell to. The brief - slick and quick!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We animated their logo and used it's bold colours in the site design, ensuring the brand image was consistent and memorable. They give a lot of free information, so we made sure it was easy to read using white space, and easy to find with good navigation and bookmarks.</font></p> <p> </p> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><p><strong>AgFirst Consultants</strong> - <a href="http://www.agfirst.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.agfirst.co.nz</a></p></font> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">AgFirst are independent agricultural and horitcultural consultants, spread over 12 locations across NZ. They already had a site but felt it wasn't doing them justice. They wanted to look professional and clearly promote the wide ranging services and skills they offer.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We used their logo to develop the site design, thus reinforcing it as a brand image in the viewer's mind. We designed the structure with the target market's needs in mind, giving a clear path to their likely field of interest. An extranet site is currently being developed.</font></p> <p> </p> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><p><strong>The Learning Attitude</strong> - <a href="http://www.thelearningattitude.com" target="_blank">http://www.thelearningattitude.com</a></p></font> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">The Learning Attitude are organisational development specialists, based in Auckland and Sydney. We had a fairly free rein with regards to style. The brief was to keep the red and blue of the logo, white background for text and quick loading.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">With their main focus being change and growth, we were keen to promote this with the design. We took the 4 figures from the logo and used them as a "growing" rollover animation for the menubar. We incorporated a koru shape for three reasons - they signify growth, an NZ feel and they look good! We kept it as a discreet background image so as to not fight with the text.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong>McBride Design</strong> - <a href="http://www.mcbridedesign.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.mcbridedesign.co.nz</a></font></p><p> <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000"></font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Richard McBride doesn't do anything by halves. Whilst still relatively new to sailing, his first voyage out of sight of land was a solo round-the-world trip! So when it came to his website he knew what he wanted and went for it. Just like the boats he designs - individual, attractive and backed up with the sound basis of good design.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We jointly defined his target market and their needs, and designed the structure in a way they could clearly see right from the start what they wanted. We showed some past craft and plans as thumbnails to give an indication of his range of skills, with larger high quality images available.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong>Brazen Training</strong> - <a href="http://www.brazentraining.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.brazentraining.co.nz</a></font></p><p> <font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#000000"></font><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Brazen Training is another part of the Brazen empire and specialises in delivering the Springboard womens development course.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Springboard has two distinct target markets - course participants and training managers. Their needs are totally different, so our approach was to guide them along two separate paths from the start. The branding on each path is similar, but using different colours.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">With the participants side we gave information and also tried to convey a sense of fun (as a Springboard course is all about fun) using animations and rollovers. On the managers side we were a little more reserved, lightening up the facts, figures and proof they would be looking for, with a few animations. We had fun doing it too!</font></td> <td width="17%"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="15%"></td> <td width="68%"></td> <td width="17%"></td> </tr> </table> </center></div><p align="center"><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000">[<a href="../client.htm" target="_top">portfolio</a>] [<a href="../design.htm" target="_top">design</a>] [<a href="../mkt.htm" target="_top">marketing</a>] [<a href="../aboutus.htm" target="_top">about us</a>] [<a href="../costs.htm" target="_top">costs</a>] [<a href="../contact.htm" target="_top">contact</a>] [<a href="../index.htm" target="_top">home</a>]</font></p> </body>
