When shopping online you need a <strong>huge</strong> amount of trust. Trust that the shop exists, the product is going to come, it is what it's meant to be, you can get your money back if it's not - and a whole lot more! We design our sales sites with particular attention to trust. We know they're legit, but the online shopper doesn't. </font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong>Global Soap - </strong><a href="http://www.globalsoap.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.globalsoap.co.nz</a> </font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Global Soap produce natural handmade soaps and bath products. To date they have sold their products on the Nelson Market and by mail order, and realised that the internet could extend their market as well as allowing their current customers to easily reorder products. They had done the research, trawled through countless lifeless websites, and decided that Brazen could best produce the original look they wanted.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Our brief was follow through with their distinctive branding, but make it a quick-loading, easily navigated site. The finished site uses snippets of their packaging, bold block colours, reduced colour versions of their labels and clear product photos.</font></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong><p>The Bead Gallery</strong> - <a href="http://www.beads.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.beads.co.nz</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">The Bead Gallery stocks a huge range of beads and beading supplies from all around the world. They get a lot of tourists in their shop, and wanted to make it easy for them to order goods once they had returned home. Our brief was to re-create the shop - but online.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We designed a site with clear navigation, allowing customers to browse the product range viewing good quality photos of the beads. To aid navigation, and encourage viewers to look around, we made sure there were visual clues as well as names in each category (face it - how many bead names do you know?).</font></p> <font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1"><p>With an ever-changing product range, the site is maintained primarily by BG staff. We also tried to convey the funky nature of the Gallery with bold asymetrical blocks of colour, changing in each category.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>The World of Whales</strong> - <a href="http://www.whaledolpineducation.com" target="_blank">http://www.whaledolphineducation.com</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">The World of Whales is a comprehensive educational resource kit about whales, dolphins and porpoises compiled by Barbara Todd.   It is packed full of information and is aimed at educators, libraries and conservation groups worldwide. </font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Our brief was to introduce the product and convey the range of information it contained.   But when we saw it, and the range of excellent graphics that had already been developed, we knew we HAD to bring it to life with a touch of animation. We think we've enhanced the marketing of this quality product with a bit of fun.  What do you think? </font></p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>Lazy Dayz</strong> - <a href="http://www.lazydayz.com" target="_blank">http://www.lazydayz.com</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Lazy Dayz design and produce quality hardwood outdoor furniture, and sell their products to retailers both in New Zealand and worldwide. They wanted to back up their traditional marketing methods with a website that had full specifications and good quality photos of the products. </font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">The site needed to reinforce the quality nature of the goods and show the products at their best. Our design has a clean, classy feel with a NZ theme that sets the product photos off nicely. High quality photographs are available if the viewer chooses.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>South Street Gallery</strong> - <a href="http://www.nelsonpottery.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.nelsonpottery.co.nz</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">By rights Mike Rogers should be bald! Organising 25 potters to display their art on a website must surely make him want to pull his hair out by the handful. So how does this shop transfer to the internet? Not easily!</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">A straight online shop is difficult as, with individual art, two seemingly identical pots can differ markedly in weight. So Mike elected to display a selection to initiate contact and do the hard selling via email.</font></p> <font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1"><p>We designed a bright, clean site that gives the viewer a taste of the range immediately, encouraging them to explore, but doesn't take an age to download. Works for him!</font><br> </p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>Sisson Kayaks</strong> - <a href="http://www.sissonkayaks.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.sissonkayaks.co.nz</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Grahame Sisson designs, builds and sells multisport and sea kayaks direct. In the pre-website days he used to traipse all over NZ with his kayaks giving demos or attending multisport events. Or customers would call and he'd post out spec sheets, which don't really do the boats justice. Now they come to him - online. </font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Grahame's well known in the sport. His name (and character) is a large part of his branding, so we knew that the site had to sell Grahame as well as his boats. As well as using his face in some comic titles, we created a newsletter page where he gives his views about boats and anything else that takes his fancy. Grahame maintains the site himself which works well. Every now and then he calls us to do a spruce up, and off he goes again! The boat pages themselves have good photos, full specs and there's loads of extra information on the site.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>Dri-Sleeper</strong> - <a href="http://www.dri-sleeper.com" target="_blank">http://www.dri-sleeper.com</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Dr Anthony Page and his wife Lyn designed and produce a bedwetting alarm. They had an existing website, but felt it wasn't performing as well as it should, so came to us for a revamp. With them we went through their current marketing strategy, further defined their target market and re-designed the website with this in mind.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">The site is primarily for parents and health professionals but also had to be child-friendly. We made use of their excellent print branding and their bold child-friendly product colours. We ensured that information was easy to find and easy to read, and that instructions and explanations were easy to understand.</font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">As with every site we design, we paid particular attention to optimising the site for search engines, particularly in this case with the American market in mind. The result is a technical subject turned into a bold, friendly site.</font></p> <p> </p> <p><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="#000000"><strong> </p> <p>GroundZero Bike Stuff Direct</strong> - <a href="http://www.groundzero.co.nz" target="_blank">http://www.groundzero.co.nz</a></font></p> <p><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">Lynda Sisson (yes, another one) was planning a dramatic change to her business - she was changing from being an importer of quality cycle components to selling directly to the consumer on-line. Her husband Grahame was happy with the work we did on his site, and so suggested us.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">We helped her define her target market and, as we do with all of our sites, designed a website specifically for them. She needed a site that was informative, fun, lively, secure, easy to use and that would encourage people to buy.  She also wanted to be able to update prices, products and text herself.</font></p> <p align="justify"><font face="Verdana" color="#000000" size="1">She got it! With a loose style, fun animations and detailed information - it works well.</font></p> <p> </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>
