Take back control of your website with Glue

Building your website with fiddly web-based systems, flighty freelancers or expensive ad agencies comes with huge costs one way or another, and always seems to fall short.

Glue can make your website woes go away, and place you amongst your global peers. Glue listens to your goals and hones your message to create a compelling journey, crafted on timeless design principles and cutting-edge, rock-solid code.

Project
Farmers blog
Features
  • Branding,
  • Craft CMS,
  • Design

The Farmers blog was built in Craft and imported into the main site, which the design cleverly referenced for a seamless but distinct experience overall.

Glue's custom Craft layout system provided a balance of consistency and versatility, while remaining simple and intuitive for content editors.

Layouts worked with both landscape and portrait photography for everything from room sets to fashion shots. Javascript retrieved the current product prices.

Get a website that works for your audience and you

Glue has won coveted design awards for its digital and UX design, which your audience and conversion rate will love.

With Craft CMS, those UX chops get applied to the CMS back end too, making it intuitive and fast to add stylish new content.

There's no fiddling around laying out your new content on both desktop and mobile yourself – responsiveness is baked-in.

Project
BetterSaver website
Features
  • Content design,
  • Copywriting,
  • Craft CMS,
  • Design

For BetterSaver, the app website cliché of a hand holding a mobile was rejected in favour of celebrating the faces both behind and in front of the app.

Glue configures Craft to make it easy for everyone to add basic content, so we can add rich content when you need it, like this KiwiSaver examples module.

Any content block can be turned into a campaign element with a little custom styling. Glue also led the creative and copywriting throughout the site.

Get a website that can grow with you

It’s wise to test the market with a web-based CMS, but those seldom scale up or allow you to update or redesign more than a few pages cost-effectively.

Craft CMS is fast, affordable, secure, and fully customisable, with all the features you’d expect of a modern CMS. This includes user accounts, multiple region or language support, and a thriving plugin community. A first-party e-commerce module is also available.

Project
All is for All website
Features
  • Craft CMS
Project Management & Design
Jungle Projects

All is for All works with organisations to help them improve accessibility for disabled people, so their website had to set the gold standard for accessibility.

Glue ensures that every image uploaded to Craft is automatically downsized and cropped to a variety of sizes, ready to be served to common devices.

All is for All recently requested a new 'In Action' section. Glue faithfully followed the original creative to give the new section a distinct design of its own.

Get the best value for your investment

With Glue, you work only with the heavyweight talent you pay for, at agency-beating prices.

Nothing gets handed off to juniors or freelancers. Glue avoids the typical design cut-off point by continuing the process well into development, producing more refined and adaptive outcomes.

Project
Paintvine website
Features
  • Content design,
  • Copywriting,
  • Design,
  • Shopify

Paintvine has a multi award-winning business with adoring customers, but had the familiar problem of a brand that had not been fully visually developed.

To create compelling content and UI elements, Glue added hand-made, whimsical elements and splashes of colour unified with a robust layout grid.

Glue noticed that as well as having a great night out, attendees were proud of their takeaway masterpieces, and highlighted that message in the journey.
