Well designed and cleverly developed
"WebShed was commissioned to help design and fully develop a brand new designated website for the goBay public transport bus network. From the outset WebShed quickly identified the issues and needs of the end user, and designed an effective frame work for this mobile first site. WebShed ensured that the mobile first aspect was fundamental when devising solutions for the user experience. I worked with WebShed throughout this 4 month project to go live, and afterwards making minor refinements, and at each stage WebShed was very patient, and consistently and promptly ironed out any issues. WebShed ultimately delivered a functional, well designed and cleverly developed, mobile first website. Our analytics and online customer surveys have confirmed a great user experience."

Ability to quickly grasp the scientific data
"Our council produces a large quantity of scientific data that needs to be made publicly available on our website. As part of our new website project we decided to improve the user experience and presentation of this data. We commissioned WebShed to design and build this module. This was a large undertaking as much of the data was complex, and required WebShed to liaise with numerous scientists and data management staff to extract the correct data. WebShed then had to design and build the module to deliver easy to use and understand webpages involving mapping, charts and tables. I worked with WebShed to help coordinate the work from the council end and was very impressed by their ability to quickly grasp the scientific data that had to be presented, and design very effective solutions that worked well for our end user."

Services and processes more accessible
"WebSheds experience in Local Government has definitely been a huge success factor in the development of our new Council website. Without their knowledge of all the processes and requirements the end result would have not been this great. WebSheds focus is always on developing a website that has the ease of use of the end user in mind and making services and processes more accessible to everyone."

Required to be effective and highly robust
"I worked with WebShed to help project manage the redesign of the Hawke's Bay Civil Defence website. As part of the development WebShed incorporated essential emergency modules. These were required to be effective and highly robust in an emergency situation, as well as easy to use by multiple emergency staff. We needed an engaging and informative public facing mobile friendly website, and WebShed delivered this. The project included liaising with a number of civil defence staff to identify the new requirements, and a design and build that could present some complex information in a simple and easy to understand way."

"WebShed was very easy to work with. Multiple staff from across our organisation were involved to ensure that the correct data was available and displayed in the correct format while being easily interpreted. WebShed managed the coordination of staff input and opinions extremely well. WebShed was a valuable contributor to the discussions around how the data could be displayed on the dashboards, and ensured that the end product was user friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and issues that arose were worked through in a timely fashion, with no delays at their end."

Complex task at short notice
"We asked WebShed to help with a large, complex task at short notice and as paramouters were rapidly changing due to the unprecedented global COVID-19 pandemic. WebShed came up with ideas and solutions, delivered the project on time and to an extremely high standard and communicated with us every step of the way. The project was praised by both internal and external stakeholders and will become a template that we can use and build upon for years to come."

Very successful and effective deliverables
"I was part of the project team representing my council within the HBLASS Regional Website Project, carried out throughout 2018. This year long project was instigated and meticulously managed by WebShed. WebShed's vast experience and knowledge in web development, along with their natural ability in project management, meant that we all felt in very capable hands throughout this project. WebShed was responsible for coordinating and running multiple all day meetings for our large group from five different councils. This included facilitating the huge number of joint decisions that had to be made over the course of the project, and allocating the subsequent tasks required to get the job done. This was a massive undertaking, resulting in very successful and effective deliverables for all five councils."
Clare

Able to organise a very tight multifaceted timeline
"As the Web Administrator for Central Hawke’s Bay District Council since 2007 I have had the pleasure of working with WebShed on a number of projects. When the East Coast Councils collaborated to upgrade their websites in 2017-2018 it was WebShed who managed this project. In managing this project they had to bring together people from Wairoa to Central Hawke's Bay and their Councils, all with very different communities to serve. WebShed did this with great acuity. They were able to organise a very tight multifaceted timeline with great skill and understanding of the disparate aims involved and brought this project to a very successful conclusion on time and on budget. Their work on this project has ensured that we now have a well-designed, customer focused portal available to our community."

Exactly what we required and on time
"We commissioned WebShed to design and build a dashboard within the Regional Council website. The purpose of the dashboard was to provide our end users with complex water quality data in a way that was engaging and very easy to understand. WebShed had to liaise with many staff members to extract detailed and correct data, and had a number of meetings with the project team to identify exactly what was required. WebShed delivered exactly what we required, on time, and we are very pleased with the final product."
Clare
Hawke's Bay Regional Council
Clear and user friendly
"WebShed had already successfully produced a dashboard for the Papanui Sub catchment. The idea was extended to cover the entire Tukituki catchment, both at a whole catchment level and split into a further 17 sub-catchments, to display technical environmental data in a clear and user friendly way, for our external clients to be able to interpret."
