Digital solutions in education and HR have never been as important as now
What we do
When you work with other people, first impressions are very important. The internet works in exactly the same way. It only takes a few seconds for a person to decide whether or not they like your digital presence. Your website can encourage them to proceed and explore your services or sign up to your organisation. At FutureLab, we analyse your users and make sure that they get served exactly what they need to make a quick decision and become your customer.
It sounds trivial but as with people, first impressions count. That’s why beautiful design is the first step to engaging a user. Sometimes finding the right look can take some time. We’re here to assist you, we have the best tools and the finest creative people in the market.
When what you do is working with people, engagement is key. That’s why your next newsletter subscription could become a great conversion. Whether you’re a school or HR company, in essence, you’re building relationships which you want to maintain. We help you find how best to engage with your customer. When you develop relationships, we build value into your communications, so that your users remain engaged.
Newsletters are very important in your market, but that’s just the beginning of your journey. Landing pages, Google AdWords, SEO and Social Media; strongly building your brand identity, engaging with your users. Highlighting your strengths in their consciousness. When it comes to making the decision, they will not hesitate.
Our work
Challenge
Te Reo Singalong wanted a good website design that retains the overall feel and vibe of the current site; however, they wanted a whole new level of navigating ease and better functionality. Te Reo Singalong sells books and videos that help children learn in a fun way with colourful pictures and passionate storytelling. Building a web design in keeping with their brand identity and target audience was an important objective.
Outcome
The website wears a colourful theme and eye-catching illustrations in keeping with the brand persona. A host of bright colours and animated pictures are captivating. The good website design supports easy browsing, which was the main goal. We extended the vibe of the old website with a refreshing new creative dimension. The graphic design Auckland team created a functionality-rich, high-performing website design for Te Reo Singalong.
The Challenge
A web design was needed to unify the looks and structures of 14 websites. Each website had to adhere to the overall theme created by FutureLab Digital but unique features must also be added. The website had to be user friendly and responsive for easy access.
The Outcome
We built a high-performing website with useful features. On each product page, the customer can make a product enquiry using a popup form. The customer simply fills in their details and the quantity needed. With backend customisation, NZTech can automatically know which product page the enquiry was sent from; thereby, reducing the amount of information that the customer needs to fill in
Fun and colourful web design for Freyberg
FutureLab worked with the wonderful team at Freyberg Community School to create their new website.
It was important to Freyberg to have clear sections of the website for parents and children. Their previous website had a disorganised menu with many blank links, making it difficult to find important information quickly. With a clear and simply menu structure, parents can now read about the school and teachers, enrol their child, and stay up to date with key events and recent news. Meanwhile, students of Freyberg can access a wealth of educational resources from their very own learning centre.
The website design is friendly and welcoming, appealing to children and adults alike. We added some fun design features like the wiggling animation on the homepage and there’s also a prominent gallery categorised into sections for easy viewing.
Challenge
FutureLab have worked with Madelize and her team at Edumaxi on various education projects over the years. So when Edumaxi came to us with a new website initiative on an enviro theme, we were really excited to design and launch the project. We had to create a complex calendar functionality and had a limited timeframe in which to do it – challenge accepted!
Outcome
The My Eco Calendar website is a joy to view and use. The functionality is streamlined, the content is easy to upload, and the website makes learning about the environment fun for kids and teachers too. At FutureLab we’re all about innovative and future-proof solutions – so we loved working on this environmental initiative which is all about helping our future leaders and thinkers learn. Check out the My Eco Calendar website here.
What our clients have to say
We have been extremely impressed by the professionalism and creativity demonstrated by FutureLab Digital. They listened carefully to our needs and responded by creating us a Freyberg Community School website that was unique and exactly what we wanted. Ralf and his team were always ready to offer assistance and nothing that we asked of them was too difficult. We highly recommend FutureLab Digital and will be continuing to work with them in the future.
