Out with the old: Starting 2010 with a spruce up, from the footpath to the internet

As it so happened this week (and not because we planned it this way), within a space of 24 hours, our new Intergen website went live and we took over naming rights to our building in Wellington, complete with signage in the requisite Intergen colours. ... read full post

Taking it bird by bird: Writing content for the web

Intergen’s Web Redevelopment Project Part 4 I’ve been meaning to weigh in with an Intergen web redevelopment update for a couple of weeks now. The project itself is coming along nicely – today’s status report tells me we’re approximately 60% through development, with interface and production design 95% done. So that’s not the reason for me dragging the blog chain. ... read full post

The water is as important as the glass (or the content is as important as the container)

Intergen’s Web Redevelopment Project Part 5 It has been a while since my last website update instalment .  We ‘went live’ on September 13. When I say ‘went live’ I mean that this was the date when we were supposed to go live. Heck, we’d built a website; we’d tested and tested it; 75% of the content had been rewritten and was ready to copy and paste. All that remained to be done was to put all the actual content in. How hard could that trifling detail be, in the scheme of things? Build it and it (the content) will come. Cue Tui billboard. ... read full post

Designing the site: the KISS principle

Intergen's Web Redevelopment Project Part 3 As I mentioned a few weeks ago in an earlier post, there was nothing more reassuring to me than seeing the wireframes to our new site materialise. It was my first ‘a-ha’ moment in the project thus far, the first time I actually thought to myself, ‘Hey, we’re building a real live website here!’ ... read full post

Clearing out the cupboard

Intergen’s Web Redevelopment Project Part 1 All my Christmases have come at once - Intergen is getting a new website. As a company whose stock and trade is making browsers browsable and creating ‘intelligent business’ online, it made sense for us to do for ourselves what we do for our clients: make one hell of a great web experience. ... read full post

From wish lists to whiteboards to wireframes

Intergen’s Web Redevelopment Project Part 2 (Previously entitled: How long is a piece of string?) We’re getting somewhere. We laid out the homepage wireframes which Michelle, our designer, has been working on and things started making sense. After weeks of numerous workshops and whiteboard sessions and a sometimes dizzying freeflow of ideas and suggestions, there’s nothing like seeing things laid out right in front of you and starting to become concrete. ... read full post
