The leader of the National Party and New Zealand's Prime Minister, John Key needed a website overhaul. With a busy schedule and a lot of public interest in his actions, he needed a site that conveys what he is up to, key information and regular video updates.
We designed a website that encourages feedback and opinion from those who read it, while conveying key messages and information. Video plays a reasonably important role in getting information across and the website needed to be focused on John Key while ensuring it fits within the overall branding and messaging from the National Party as a whole.

One of the biggest blogs in the world - the 15th biggest actually, Read Write Web delivers tech news and information to tens of thousands of avid daily readers. Blogs like this are bigger than a lot of newspapers and as such they are far more complex than the diaries blogs started out as.
We have started on an overall site redesign to layout an increasingly complex list of topics and categories, formats and advertising, smoothing the site out from the header down. With a site this big, the re-design is a slow process, a series of tweaks rather than a one off overhaul that will result in a new look over time. We also designed the first Read Write Web downloadable e-book and premium report which expands the Read Write Web brand even further.

Steve and Nathalie were having a big wedding with a widely dispersed guest list. Instead of the traditional invitations and posted updates, tech entrepreneur Nathalie decided a blog was the best way to communicate updates and accommodation options with her friends and family.
We designed a blog that reflected their wedding colour scheme and location ( NZ) Gisbourne, and enabled guests to RSVP directly through the site, be directed to accommodation providers and get regular updates on the wedding plans.
Liv Willard is a social media and web marketing expert. She wanted a blog where she could write her thoughts on trends and advancements.
We designed a personal blog template that reflects Livs personality, while staying within the traditional 2-3 column blog layout.

Bill English is New Zealand's deputy Prime Minister and needed a blog that enabled more effective communication with his supporters and the New Zealand public.
We created a template that displays key articles and updates in a variety of formats, from text to videos and pictures. We also introduced some interactive elements that help people offer their opinions and ask questions to one of our most important public figures.
