Recent releases at Catch

Howdy all. Team Catch has been busy flippin’ the switch on a bunch of new projects we’ve kicked into life. As such, we’ve been a little busy so sorry no updates of late. But, fear no more, here’s a big one!

Scopa Caffe Cucina and Duke Carvells. Scopa, great traditional pizza, legend Italian hot chocolate – cornerstone of a vibrant Cuba St community. Brothers Leonardo and Lorenzo Bresolin arrived on site May 2006 and together with their father, Remiro, raised Scopa to become a favourite with Wellingtonians and visitors alike. And Duke Carvells, the boutique tappers bar in Swan Lane, Wellington, was opened in late 2008. After the success of Scopa, the Bresolin boys struck gold in a 2911 brick building, deep in the Cuba Quarter. Cuisine says “Duke Carvell’s has the air of a shabby, slightly suspect, gentlemen’s club…” The boys at Catch were asked to design and build two sites that caught the vibrancy and colourful atmosphere that’s made Scopa and ‘Dukes’ two of Wellington’s most popular restaurants! Watch this space for more to come…

Salient. Nominated for a 2009 Qantas Media Award, the Salient website is the online companion to the weekly magazine of the Victoria University of Wellington Students’ Association. This recent release being the third in a long-standing relationship between Catch and Salient. The best yet… we think.

Beacon Pathway Ltd. a collaborative research consortium working to find affordable ways to make New Zealand homes more resource-efficient, cheaper to run, healthier to live in – and kinder to our environment. With design from DNA, Beacon was a complex challenge with multiple layers of content, permission levels and general IA challenges. Catch Design was contracted to build the back-end, which included all xHTML/CSS templates and development using Expression Engine.

Tax Management New Zealand. As the innovators of tax pooling in New Zealand, Tax Management New Zealand make provisional tax payments easier for New Zealand businesses. Their old website was drastically out-of-date and in need of an overhaul. Catch Design was approached to re-design their public-facing website in August 2008, as well as their entire application for accountants and businesses. With a desire to further enhance their Google rankings and public face, TMNZ asked Catch Design to again re-think the site structure and design.

Hurricanes. The Official Website of the 2009 Rebel Sport Super 14 Hurricanes, Team Catch pulled out a lot of late nights and early mornings to overhaul, design and build the new Hurricanes site in a matter of weeks.

And a few others that went live in 2009:
