About
We sponsored Semi-Permanent in 2009 and we enjoyed it so much we just wanted to get a little more involved. So we built their website for them for 2010. Designed by The Church, it was a fun site to build and was the catalyst for a long awaited new feature for Boss, the Boss Vault. Secure file storage, easily managed with the existing page authentication models. Big ups to The Church for designing a wonderful site.Telecom Corporate Review 09

About
This website presents a detailed overview of what has made Telecom tick over the past year. A technically smooth deployment of Boss that highlights how easy it is to deploy a design site wide and then modify it as requested. A perfect example of how Boss can be utilised quickly and efficiently by large corporates for those smaller targeted website campaigns.36 Bottles

About
It's not often a site comes along with a design that melts your heart. This design also tantilises your tastes buds as well andTestimonial
We knew what we wanted - a website that would convey our ideals, ethic and values; and be the place that would act as our shop window to the world. A bit of a tall order from a company in the wine industry, but Verb definitely got our party rocking.
We needed the whole nine yards, attractive pages about us, ability to blog, the ability to easily manage and update our site with new products, manage our (hopefully) exponentially growing client list , meet our legal requirements (are you over 18?) and most importantly provide a cool and inviting buying experience.
Hamish, Graham and the rest of the team at Verb were great to work with. They got on board with us and the conceptual team at our design partners, Neogine. Verb quickly understood what the goal was, and were endlessly patient and supportive. We knew just enough to be dangerous , but they handled it well. We've got an outstanding web site and we hope Verb got a couple of cool ideas of us!
And finally we can't say enough about how supportive Verb (Graham - this means you!) have been as we launched and got into the BAU (Business as Usual) part of the relationship.

Director (Vine Whisperer)

This site really put our catalogue system through its paces with over 2500 images, a massive number of products, all entered and managed via the Boss.Console. We worked closely with the owners in improving and streamlining the work flows within the Console resulting in the famous "duplicate product" button and the Boss.Console v4 menu layout change.Upper Hutt City

Designer: Tangerine |
Fun Facts
- Delivered on time and on budget.

- Runs on 6 different templates automatically.
About
This site is a class act. Well constructed, loads of information, easy to navigate and a nice show case for the Upper Hutt area.The scale of the site gave us a good opportunity to focus on the speed and responsiveness of parts of the console that were slowing under the weight which resulted in some spectacular improvements for those now editing the site.
It was with great pleasure that we saw the Boss.Framework not even flinch in handling the public end of the website.

About
Developed as a showcase site for the Boss shopping cart, thegames.co.nz is now the home of the adorable Mr and Mrs Game, who along with their two children attempt to review every game they have stocked.This site is our old showcase and experimental site. It's the site that went from nowhere to number one on google for the search term "Board Games" here in New Zealand - proving Boss's search engine friendliness. It has also been the key driving factor in a number of usability improvements we've made throughout the earlier stages of development on the Boss.Console.
