Hillside
Auto Wreckers take rather sad cars and remove parts to make other cars
happier. This is a small 'presence' site that enables people to find
them and contact them.
Dunlop
Cafe are not just a cafe. They do industry training, are large enough
to run workplace meetings, up to a hall and facilities
for conferences. They are also suitable as a wedding venue or
other social celebrations.
This
is a tyre
recycling
firm. The site is there to ensure that people who want the
product
can source rubber crumb in New Zealand. An associate of the
firm maintains
the
site.
This site is an example of menu buttons across the
top. The look of
the site was determined by a nearby beach and Rangitoto Island in the
background. It defines them as being proudly North Shore.
The Hutt Valley has a community orchestra that has an active site.
Although there are only 7 key pages - in keeping with the simple
navigation - there are now 43 in all. There is a menu item 'Past
events' which displays an index. Simple steps like this avoid clutter,
so the most wanted pages take priority.
The Deco Bay Brass
web site
was designed for the 2009 National Brass
Band Contests. I was supplied an A4 poster and four tourist photos. The
committee wanted the site to clearly reflect the Art Deco of the host
town, Napier. The design did everything
they wanted, and served the contest organizers before, during and after
the contests.
There are 60 brass bands in New Zealand, but half are on the web.
This small site was created to show what sort of web site can be
created for a small band. Fiordland Brass
was fictional,
so I created design as example, and invented content for
interest.
This acts as a
communication tool, and also as an ongoing advertisement. The
simple layout means pupils and parents have no trouble
finding what they want.
This Upper Hutt Science Fiction Club has the site partly as a
who-we-are
brochure, but also to record reviews of books read. It began
as a
reading based group at the library.
