Avoca Design manage our webpage and offered to help us design a database so we could manage the growth and complexity needed in such a system and the result has been amazing. The new database is still a work in progress but so far we are delighted with progress we have made by collaborating with Avoca. It's a fantastic tool that will help us build all sorts of other relationships too.

Avoca have just rebuilt our website. We couldn’t be happier. The colours and layout captured me instantly. It’s easy for visitors to navigate, to get the information they need, then register and pay. Due to the understanding Avoca has of our needs and processes, the back end, where I spent a fair bit of time updating the variables for our events, is easy to work through.

Jan and Brendyn got the job done, on time and under budget. Best of all, our entire Board of Governors loved the look and the feel of the website – it really reflected our culture and the message was very clear. Big thanks to the Team at Avoca – impressive stuff.

The Avoca Team were very easy to deal with, understood our business and what we wanted to achieve via our new website and provided practical support for the creation and managment of content. Ngā mihi nui Brendyn and Team.
