Our creative whānau is here to help

We stick to our knitting and do one thing, website design, really well. But what if you need a logo and copy or great photography as well?

We’re part of a creative whānau (family) — more than just partners or colleagues in the business space — people we trust to deliver great work. Stellar graphic design, killer copywriting and great strategic advice.

We work as individuals but also together, bringing complementary skills and the strength of our shared kaupapa (purpose). You can relax, trusting in the security of knowing our creative whānau has your back

Avoca were fantastic to work with during the rebuild of our website and we were delighted with the result. Since the launch, however, what has impressed us even more is the ongoing support as we add further features and their creative help to iron out the inevitable glitches as we learn how to use the website ourselves. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

Turning Point

Kieron and I chose you to design our new website after our initial meeting because we liked your approach and it felt like you would partner us in the whole process of the creation of the new site well, which you did. And I felt like you heard me and understood what we wanted to create and needed.

Working with Avoca Web Design was a pleasure and took the mystery out of web design. It’s easy enough to assess their design skills, simply visit one of their sites, I know we were very pleased.

Our website design process

Supporting you and your business to do awesome things

Since every business is different, every website should be too. Don't settle for cookie cutter solutions. We make sure you get the right result for your business and a website that's perfectly tailored to you needs.

1. Discovery

It's super tempting to just dive right into the details and design. However, it's always better to have a good plan.

We'll spend some time digging further into your target market, search engine opportunities and put together a strategy & development plan that will get you where you need to be.

The outcome of this stage is a custom website marketing plan.

2. Prototyping

Ok so now we're diving into the look and feel right? Hmm not quite yet :).

Too make sure we're developing the right solution, we create a "working model" prototype website. This process (sometimes called "wireframing" or "UX design") lets us quickly test functionality and refine content requirements before beginning design work.

By doing this in the browser you can see and interact with the site and get a better feel for the end result.

3. Website design and development

Yep, you guessed it, we get into the nitty-gritty of colours, style and finalising the features and any custom functionality. We work closely with your brand to make sure the website really feels like it's one of a kind. This is where your website really comes to life.

Your visitors' time is precious. We want them to spend it converting, not waiting. So as we build, we focus heavily on performance, accessibility and usability, as well as great design.

4. Launch

When the site is ready for the world, we launch. That means putting the website through our comprehensive launch checklist, making it "live" to the world and ensuring it's firing on all cylinders.

This is also when we make sure you know how to get the best out of your website. Easy, short learning videos and 1:1 training are built into every project launch.
