Requirements Scoping

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.

Right from our first project workshop, we knew we had made the right decision working with Terabyte... – Paul Sutherland, Digital Content Manager, Panasonic NZ

Information Architecture & Business Analysis

An important first step in ensuring a projects success is defining a structure for the content and information delivered by the site, and planning for users to intuitively access content and interact with site functionality.

Terabyte uses wireframes to identify key content elements and base structure for each template, speeding up the design process by establishing what content the user expects to see on a screen and relative priorities before the full design is completed.

Interface Design

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.

Terabyte's understanding of our different brands and their various audiences have delivered exceptional designs which are on-brand within a restricted framework. Not a simple undertaking, which they handled elegantly. – Anthea Whittle - TRN Digital Development Manager

Brand Design

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.

Mobile Websites & Apps

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.

As Christchurch International Airport is New Zealand’s Tourism Gateway we are committed to providing the best traveller experience possible. As a client we are very pleased with the outstanding work of Terabyte and are proud of our new mobile website. – Sam Grimwood - Marketing Assistant CIAL

Interaction Design & Rich Media

The internet is a fast-changing place; rich content - such as video, audio, and animation - and highly functional web applications are now ubiquitous.

In the past we've built award winning online games, complex flash interactives, clever javascript-enhanced interfaces, and audio/video applications. We are constantly keeping track of what's happening on the Internet, and put lots of time into research & development and training.

Standards compliant HTML & CSS

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

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.

Once in a while you find a company that ‘just gets it’ and Terabyte is this company. They made the impossible, possible and throughout the project I knew that if I could think it, they could build it. – Cher Knights

Content Management System (CMS)

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.

The Umbraco CMS especially tailored for the Sir Peter Blake Trust has significantly changed our ability to communicate with the external world. Innovatively designed for efficiency and ease of use, the CMS has changed our website from static and clunky to an interactive portal that keeps the Trust’s look and feel constantly refreshed and engaging. The simple and effective nature of the backend, which is easy for staff to learn, translates brilliantly into a sophisticated and cutting edge look on the front end. – Siobhan Kane, Programme Director, Sir Peter Blake Trust

Content Development & Management

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.

Hosting

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.

"SiteCare" Service and Support

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.

And with SiteCare our team are right behind your website, supporting you and the site 24/7 for a known and budgeted monthly cost.

SiteCare includes:

  • Automated website and server monitoring with alerts to our 24/7 call centre
  • 24/7 on-call Terabyte support staff for Level 1 critical issues
