When we start work on a project, we hold workshops with you to help us understand your organisation, and how a website or application can deliver you value.
We work with you to understand what your organisation does, your
point of difference, your competitors, and where you're heading in
the future.
Understanding your audience's key needs, and the content and
tasks required to support your organisation's objectives, is the
first step to us understanding your requirements and ensuring both
your business goals and your user's needs are met.
Where traditional graphic design focuses on aesthetics and visual look, Interface Design focuses on how a user interacts with an object or application, and how to make that interaction as simple and efficient as possible.
Interface design is a huge part of what Terabyte do, and we have
a wide range of experience in designing effective User Interfaces
across various mediums (such as websites, software applications,
and touchscreen
kiosks) that help our client's audiences to achieve their
goals.
Not just a Web Design company, Terabyte has undertaken many highly successful Brand and Identity Design projects, for clients in Industries as diverse as Network Engineering, Broadcasting, Interior Design, and Winemaking.
From Logo and Typography design, through to stationery and
signage, and even broadcast design, we can do it all, and do it all
well.
As more and more of our audience move to using the internet on their mobiles businesses need to respond with appropriate content and functionality to enable their users to connect with them when out and about.
Terabyte are providing mobile website
solutions that work on all smartphones, and share critical
content from our client's main websites in a format to suit the
mobile user.
The backbone of every website, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are the technologies that render your site in the browser.
Terabyte takes pride in producing high quality code,
following best
practice and web standards, making sure the markup in your
site is as flexible and interoperable as possible.
Development is where the beautiful, and beautifully coded, interfaces we design are given the technical heft to ensure that your objectives, and your users' requirements, are met.
We were the first company in New Zealand to build a content managed
website, and the first in the country to implement a site on
the Microsoft .NET platform (our development weapon of choice). We
have some of the finest, most capable nerds in the business, and
when experience counts - we have it.
Almost all of the digital solutions we develop are fully integrated with a Content Management System, allowing you to easily update and modify your website content. We use the powerful open-source Umbraco CMS for web site development which is built on Microsoft's ASP.NET platform.
We have also worked very closely with other development
providers to integrate diverse content management platforms into
our designs, including enterprise level solutions such Microsoft
SharePoint, Kentico and IBM's IWCCM.
A website is only as good as the content that it delivers. CMS integration allows quick and easy maintenance of content, but Terabyte can also help with developing that content to have maximum impact.
We have a great deal of experience researching content, sourcing
appropriate imagery, and producing rich audio / visual content.
We know what
works on the web, and can help and advise you on how to
deliver what your audience wants.
Terabyte can provide fast, secure, and cost effective hosting of your site. Our servers are located in high quality data centres, with daily backups, statistics, and analytics all part of the service.
If your organisation has its own in-house hosting service, we
are able to work closely with your IT team to ensure a smooth
go-live, and make on-going maintenance easy.
Once a website is live it needs looking after. As your organisation develops, adapts, changes so to will your content and communication with your audiences.

cost.

call centre
