Matiatia, the stunning gateway to Waiheke Island - what a fantastic place to do business !

Although this is titled Waiheke Island Web Design, it should probably be called something like Waiheke Island Web Services, because that would be more accurate!

We offer all of our services to Waiheke Island businesses (and residents if applicable!), not just web site design!

That being said, we do hold Waiheke close to our hearts for a number of reasons – not least because it’s a truly magical place, especially in the Summer – and a great place to live and work.

We’ve worked with many businesses on Waiheke, from car rental, through to Vineyards (of which there are many, yum yum slurp), cafe’s and more.

We understand the mentality of business in this small, yet beautiful location. Personally, I think that does matter… although you might be able to find a webdesign company that offers cheap deals, if they don’t really understand your market (we understand Waiheke Island very well!), then it’s just a faceless company you’re dealing with and you’re spending your money and time on a project that might not be best suited to you.

If you’re a Waiheke Island business, looking for quality Waiheke Island webdesign, website hosting, domain names, email marketing…. well, just about any digital service that a company needs these days, then you need to talk to Purple Dog.

We love Waiheke Island! And what’s more, we promise all Waiheke Island businesses that we’re competitive and offer value for money.  Keep it local.  Get in touch with us here to discuss your needs.

Waiheke Island Wine Tours - New Website

We are proud to announce the recent launch of a new website for Waiheke Island Wine Tours, predominantly serving overseas tourists looking for – as the site name suggests – wine tours on Waiheke Island.

The clients, Jean Goodbrand and Wayne Eagleton, wanted a new website that would compliment their existing branding, enable them to showcase their tour itnerary and most importantly, receive live online credit card bookings.

We’re happy that another satisfied customer has discovered the power of working with Purple Dog Design:

Thanks very much for building our website. The booking system is working brilliantly…. It’s a real buzz sitting here watching a booking pop into our inbox! We are delighted with the way the site came together ….

Jean & Wayne

And thanks to some great writing from Gulf News journalist Julianne Evans, the piece is a welcome PR boost for what promises to be, the beginning of some very interesting projects over the next few months… but more on that later….

Although the local paper primarily serves the Hauraki Gulf Islands and therefore has a relatively small readership, it’s surprising how far this little paper manages to travel…..  Auckland City for a start, since it’s sold in a few places downtown and also finds its way across to the mainland thanks to the many daily commuters.  I’ve heard of it travelling to far off places too as tourists take a copy home or friends post them overseas (it has quite a cult following!)

It’s great to be able to notify the local community that Purple Dog is not just for international customers.

Sol even put on a nice shirt for the occasion, so if you haven’t yet seen the article, you can read it in full here
