Projects
Each of our sites is given individual attention, as we feel it is important that your website reflects your business. Some examples of sites we have completed recently include:
English Zone
A site set up to provide English teachers with resources for teaching a wide range of texts, arranged in categories.
It was built with the Wordpress content management system to manage the site content easily online, and includes a full e-commerce store offering online purchasing by credit card and immediate download products.
NH Builders
Timed to coincide with a radio campaign, Noel Hinton’s site conveys his personal and professional building services
The site is built to be fast loading and yet professional looking, as well as easy to administer. Content is managed by a variation of the “get simple” CMS.
Aikido Hawkes Bay
A custom designed website for Hawke’s Bay’s Aikido Club.
Designed to represent the style and character of the club, this site contains upcoming events, photo galleries, online video and google maps, all managed by a great content management solution.
Merron Solutions
Merron Solutions is a supplier of Patchwork GPS equipment.
Managed using the Wordpress platform, this site includes a custom designed logo and layout, and is clean and modern looking.
Acton Adventures
Acton Adventures is a group specialising in paintball and related outdoorsy stuff. We made sure the site was strong and appealing, and suited the fun atmosphere of their activities.
The site is updated via our full featured site administration area, and forms the centrepiece of Acton’s promotional material.
Our Personal Projects
At Dono.co.nz we don’t just make websites for other people. We also run our own sites, both for the learning opportunities and, of course, the massive profits. Our current projects include:
HappyCamping.co.nz
Happy Camping is an attractive, easy to use directory of New Zealand’s best camping and camper van sites. Built around an interactive Google map, it includes directions, camp site contact details and descriptions, and reviews from other campers.
We built this site as it seemed that most camp site directories were stale and disorganised. Happy Camping aims to be a helpful, fun website that encourages people to share their camping experiences. Check it out!
ShopIreland.ie
Shop Ireland was set up to help people in Ireland buy from Amazon.co.uk in their local currency. Amazon’s prices were listed in UK Sterling, but a great number of people in Ireland were paying in Euro.
Using Amazon’s product API, we built this site to act as a translator for Amazon’s prices, with a self-updating conversion rate that ensures that the prices are always accurate. We were able to test some SEO ideas, resulting in some very strong visitor numbers from the search engines.
The site has enjoyed significant success over the last 6 years, and continues to act as a useful online tool for Irish shoppers.
CatchyPass.com
Catchypass is a fun little project that generates pseudo-english passwords that are supposed to be easy to remember but hard to guess. It uses some fancy schmancy linguistic technology to assemble the passwords from a set of syllables.
The site is designed to be as lightweight as possible, with no images used and minimal html / javascript.
