Graphic and Web Design is only the start…
Our portfolio is bursting with great examples of our web and graphic design/print work, these speak for themselves. You may wish to know more about our full range of services.
WordPress
WordPress offers you the opportunity to manage your own written content. WordPress is the best Open Source content management system (CMS) currently available. We’ve used it for our own site now for over a year, and many of our customers sites have been successfully operating on it for longer. It won the Open Source Content Management System of the Year award in 2009, and gets stronger with each release. It can be enhanced with thousands of free plug ins (connection to social media, image galleries, e-commerce) and has a thriving community supporting it.
The best thing about WordPress is it is free, the only cost involved is hosting and templating so it looks like your own site. We can develop bespoke WordPress Templates. These start at a very reasonable cost for straightforward customisation (perfect for business start-ups and SMEs) to more complex development such as is used by big business (such as Fortune 500 companies), for both web sites and blogs.
Web Development/Web Apps
When WordPress isn’t the answer, and your requirements cannot be met by Open Source solutions, we can create a bespoke development using PHP and/or the CakePHP framework. PHP is one of the most stable, secure and flexible programming languages used on the internet.
CakePHP is a well established framework for PHP providing a set of ‘tools’ to allow us to develop the base of a Web App much faster than building everything in PHP, and because it’s open source, it has a burgeoning community for support, enhancements and continued growth.

iPhone Development: Make a big splash with a Small Screen
There are now more than 200,000 iPhone users in New Zealand (Frost & Sullivan)*, a great opportunity for the forward thinking.
It’s true that Safari, the web browser on the Apple iPhone, is a remarkable browser, able to display any website in miniature, though to make sense of any website, a lot of scrolling and zooming is required.
Users of the iPhone are much likely to spend more time visiting sites that tailor specifically to their needs.
We can detect the browser a device uses when accessing your website and redirect or alter the site to match creating a more fluid and engaging experience for iPhone users. Adam has been designing sites for small devices since the rollout of WAP in 1999/2000.
Why not celebrate the release of the new iPhone 4 with an iPhone web site.
Please contact us for more information about development for other mobile devices such as Android.
