Can Trade Me improve my site traffic?
Posted on 26. Jun, 2010 by Sheryl.
The short answer is hell YES! We monitor around 30 websites via google analytics and last Thursday I was blown away by 1,000 unique visitors to the RPMS website in one day! While RPMS do receive a good amount of site traffic this was a serious jump. And the reason for it – a wee click thru link at the bottom of the Trade Me Mod’s motors newsletter. Took me awhile to find it but it is there near the bottom under ‘new NZ automotive site’.

the big swell
Posted on 12. May, 2010 by Sheryl.
Lately I seem to be doing a number of online community based projects. These are fast becoming my favourite type of work. the big swell is one of these – a community site dedicated to mums and motherhood. huiadesign completed the branding under direction from Greg at brand ecology. This was a new process for me in terms of the work that was done by Greg and the directors of the big swell before the design was even started. Creating a sustainable brand is not an easy task but I believe this one has more than achieved the early stages of that through the support and knowledge of all those involved in the project.

New site for Lox salon & spa
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Sheryl.
Janine Tait is a favourite client, one of her businesses is Lox salon and spa in Tauranga. It’s a beautiful place and the treatments are divine. The approach to this design was a little offbeat because I designed an ezine for Lox late last year. I went off on a bit of a design tangent with the ezine (got carried away with the Lox fairies) and therefore it didn’t really match the existing Lox website. So it was time for a change, and voila! Now it matches perfectly. I had fun creating three different backgrounds in photoshop from Lox imagery for the website.

2 site revamps
Posted on 05. Feb, 2010 by Sheryl.
January was such a busy month, it’s normally quiet so this time round there was no time for working on a tan! I revamped a couple of larger websites that have blogs as well. For Syrup magazine the look now is more professional but with a friendly, hand-made feel and for Venus Clubs we’ve opted for a ‘magazine’ style layout. Vanessa from Venus Clubs blogs regularly so now her front page is always changing with new and fresh info and articles. This is a great way to encourage re-visits to your website.
