Portfolio
... or a different one
Here are a few examples which may serve as an inspiration for the website of your own.
- The websites were created and designed or redesigned by Black Nikau Web Design
- Owners of those websites may be contacted as reference
- Any of these websites can be recreated for you in your company colours or livery
Control of the websites in this portfolio, after they were created, has generally been handed over to the website owners. Sometimes the websites may have been moved to a new domain or whatever. Please let us know if you find any dead links or websites no longer existing.
Whispering Winds is the site of the Wairarapa Homestay or Cottage B&B.
It is a full blown site with quite a number of pages and images with zoom.
It presents a full automatic, calendar based booking system where clients can book and pay their stay and a guest book is included as well.
Apple Tree Villa is the site of the Napier accommodation with the same name.
It is a small site only thereby still embracing the Art Deco of Napier and the apple trees in the garden as a theme.
The site is built with its main purpose in mind, a short yet information-packed introduction of the house and a contact form for the enquiries, which are vital for an accommodation website.
The interior of the villa is introduced using a modern slides-how-like selection mechanism, where a detailed larger image unfolds after clicking on a thumbnail.
VIZ GLASS is the website of well renowned New Zealand glass artist Peter Viesnik.
Viz glass is a production studio producing high quality blown and formed glass supplying galleries, shops and stores throughout New Zealand, and also to selected outlets overseas. Viz Glass is Peter Viesnik, who makes a range of well known, established and collected designs, with new works introduced periodically.
This site is based on an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) and also includes an online shop.
Some customers are made to believe that engaging in such a publicly available Open Source software for their website solves all the problems to get an own website up and running easily. The Viz glass website software had been installed and initially outlayed by somebody else and the unfortunate owner of the site was more or less left alone with an unconfigured site not ready for the purpose. As shown in this case such a DIY approach almost certainly is doomed since even such a system requires a lot of web and system knowledge. There are simply way too many interdependant switches and selectors to configure such a gorilla.
On the other hand such a system can be very helpful if implemented and configured correctly. Meanwhile Viz glass got there and is working properly.
Black Nikau certainly will think and advise of such software where it suits the purpose and/or we also take over maintenance for it.
