About Designhand

Designhand was formed in late 2005 out of a requirement to market a holiday home on the web. The first hand experiences learned directly with this market enables Designhand to provide web design and training services to a number of small businesses that know they need to establish a web presence but are unsure of how to go about it.

As a consequence, Designhand has decided to offer a portfolio of services that cater for general small businesses and specialise in holiday home websites and tourism ventures. The tourism and guest house accommodation markets in New Zealand are growing rapidly and are in a niche market where first hand experience is always helpful in guiding customers towards a useful website solution.

The philosophy of Designhand is to create fast loading websites balancing as many bells and whistles as possible without stretching the loading speed of the site. Ever been to a site that takes so long to load you have clicked away and gone elsewhere? The web surfer of today moves fast looking for information and a site needs to be designed to provide information fast and in a format that is immediately useable by the customer and easily scanned by the most popular search engines and accepted in to their databases.

Designhand uses up to date design techniques to cater for search engine optimisation and ensure the fastest possible loading speed without compromising the look and feel the customer is wanting to portray.
